There are about 8563 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sweden. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral belzutifan (MK-6482) plus intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab, in the adjuvant treatment of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) post nephrectomy. The primary study hypothesis is that belzutifan plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS).
This is an observational cohort study with a non-concurrent comparison group evaluating the use of a digital decision support tool (MiProstate/ISPM) at pre-prostatectomy, multidisciplinary conferences.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antidrug antibody (ADA) response for MEDI8897 in healthy late preterm and term infants who are 35 weeks or greater gestational age and entering their first RSV season.
Primary child healthcare in Sweden is an important arena for health promotion interventions as nurses regularly meet parents and children from birth to five years of age. To date there is a lack of evidence-based material for child healthcare nurses to use in health promotion talks within primary child healthcare. Therefore, the aims of this study are to: (i) evaluate the effectiveness of Saga Stories in health talks on parental self-efficacy to promote healthy diet, physical activity, and screen time behaviours in 5-year-old children and (ii) evaluate the implementation of Saga Stories in health talks with regards to acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, adoption, sustainability, satisfaction, and usage.
This is a parallel treatment, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind study to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of twice daily (BID) oral SAR443820 compared with placebo in male and female participants, 18 to 80 years of age with ALS followed by an open-label, long-term extension period. Study ACT16970 consists of 2 parts (A and B) as follows: Part A is a 24-week, double blind, placebo-controlled part, preceded by a screening period of up to 4 weeks before Day 1. On Day 1 of Part A, participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the SAR443820 treatment arm or matching placebo arm as listed below: - Treatment arm: SAR443820, BID - Placebo arm: Placebo, BID Randomization will be stratified by the geographic region of the study site, region of ALS onset (bulbar vs other areas), use of riluzole (yes vs no), use of edaravone (yes vs no) and use of the combination of sodium phenylbutyrate and taurursodiol (named Relyvrio in the United States of America [USA] and Albrioza in Canada) (yes vs no). Participants will attend in-clinic study assessments at baseline (Day 1), Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 10, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 21, Week 22, Week 23, and Week 24. All ongoing participants at Week 24 will rollover to open-label extension Part B. The Week 24 Visit is the end of Part A and the beginning of Part B. Part B is an open-label, long-term extension period that starts from Week 24 and continues up to Week 106. The objectives of Part B are to provide extended access to SAR443820 participants in Part A and to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term SAR443820 treatment. The treatment assignment of participants at randomization in Part A will remain blinded to Investigators, participants, and site personnel until the end of Part B. Every participant, except those who discontinue Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) treatment permanently in Part A, will receive BID oral tablets of SAR443820 in Part B.
The underlying pathophysiology following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in how different neurodegenerative conditions are developed are still unknown. Different neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative pathways have been suggested. The goal of this study is to follow-up patients that have been treated for TBI at the neurosurgical department about 10-15 years after their initial injury, in order to analyze fluid biomarkers of inflammation, injury and degeneration and associate these with structural imaging and long-term functional outcome. The investigators aim to invite about 100 patients back and perform advanced magnetic resonance imaging protocols, sample cerebrospinal fluid and blood for different bio- and inflammatory markers, study genetic modifications and associate it with outcomes being assessed through questionnaires. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients with ongoing inflammatory processes will present with more fluid biomarkers of neurodegeneration, worse clinical presentation and also more structural/atrophic signs on imaging. This will result in an increased understanding of the interplay between neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in chronic TBI, as well as a panel of tentative biomarkers that could be used to assess level of disability following TBI and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
An application (app) called the activity coach will be tested to see if it can increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behaviuor, as well as increase quality of life and lead to personal goal attainment in physically inactive heart failure (HF) patients. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test the study design and recruitment process, as well as outcomes for a future efficacy RCT. HF-patients equipped with the mHealth-tool Optilogg will be screened for physical inactivity and then recruited and randomized to either have the activity coach app added to their Optilogg or remain with the standard Optilogg. The study will go on for 12 weeks. Weeks 1 and 12 physical activity using an accelerometer will be recorded, as well as health-related quality of life. At the start of the study the patients will list goals relating to physical activity which the wish to attain, and the level of attainment will be evaluated at the end of the study. The activity coach educated the patient about physical activity, offers means of manually tracking physical activity, and provides trends of registered activity. Furthermore, it provides weekly summaries of registered physical activity and provides means of setting goals for the following week.
Decoria intense is a class III medical device and is CE-marked and has been on the market since 2014. Decoria intense is a hyaluronic acid filler that will be used according to intended use for correction of nasolabial folds. According to the new MDR in EU this clinical investigation will confirm efficacy and safety of Decoria intense. The plan is to recruit 80 subjects to receive 64 evaluable subjects during 6 months recruitment. The clinical investigation contains 5 visits and the total time per subject is 12 months. All subjects will receive treatment at Visit 1 with the option to receive a touch-up treatment at Visit 2. Evaluation of the nasolabial folds will be performed by PI using the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS)
LEVANTIS-0087A (LEV87A) is a retrospective in vitro diagnostics clinical validation population cohort-based case-control study to validate the diagnostic performance of free GAGome-based tests for multi-cancer early detection (MCED) in adults asymptomatic for cancer and with no recent history of cancer.
Apneic oxygenation describes the process of continuous oxygenation of the blood without breathing efforts. This anesthesia technique has been described in the literature for more than 100 years and is sometimes used under general anesthesia, e.g. during surgery of the vocal chords. Although this technique usually provides marked prolongation of the apneic period because of excellent oxygenation, it is limited by the absence of ventilation and the corresponding accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood. This will lead to worsening respiratory acidosis and associated complications, such as cardiac arrythmias. In 2015 it was reported that apneic oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen delivery systems (HFNO), a device that provides heated humidified oxygen at high flow rates (usually 30-70 L/min), resulted in less carbon dioxide accumulation compared with historical controls. This specific technique of apneic oxygenation was termed transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilation exchange (THRIVE). To date, the impact on different flow rates on blood carbon dioxide accumulation during THRIVE is unknown. Specifically, very high flow rates, exceeding 70 L/min have not been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this trial is therefore to study the rate of accumulation of carbon dioxide during THRIVE at two different flow rates: 40 and 100 L/min.
