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.
This is a Phase 3, open-label, international, multicenter study of CGT9486 in combination with sunitinib. This is a multi-part study that will enroll approximately 426 patients. Part 1 consists of two evaluations: 1) confirming the dose of an updated formulation of CGT9486 to be used in subsequent parts in approximately 20 patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy for GIST and 2) evaluating for drug-drug interactions between CGT9486 and sunitinib in approximately 18 patients who have received at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for GISTs. The second part of the study will enroll approximately 388 patients who are intolerant to, or who failed prior treatment with imatinib only and will compare the efficacy of CGT9486 plus sunitinib to sunitinib alone with patients being randomized in a 1:1 manner.
The primary objective with this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of intensive treatment with prolonged exposure (I-PE) in regular Swedish psychiatric care. The secondary objective is to investigate preliminary effects of i-PE in terms of reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression and increase quality of life.
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is a serious complication that lacks effective treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a surgical treatment for residual limping and compare its results with non-surgical treatment. Our hypothesis is that surgical treatment followed by physiotherapy increases hip function and reduces limping compared with non-surgical treatment with physiotherapy alone.
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH) is a treatable disease of the elderly, typically causing gait impariment, dementia and urinary incontinence. The objective of this study is to make an epidemiological survey of INPH in Umeå, Sweden. Subjects with self-perceived gait impairments will be identified through a questionnaire. They will go through clinical examinations and have an MRI of the brain. A control population will also be investigated to enable comparisons between the populations. The main hypothesis is that the prevalence of INPH in the population is higher than what is previoulsy known.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of NBI-1065845 compared with placebo in participants with MDD on improving symptoms of depression.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and the number of patients with AF is expected to increase substantially in the coming decades. One third of patients with AF report no AF-associated symptoms, but up to one-fourth report severe symptoms. It is unclear why patients' experience of AF-related symptoms varies so much. We have previously shown that patients with symptomatic AF exhibit lower pain tolerance than patients with asymptomatic AF, as well as impaired pain inhibitory control and facilitated summation of pain, indicating that pain sensitisation may be of importance in symptomatic AF. In patients with chronic pain conditions, several biomarkers and epigenetic markers associated with generation and /or maintenance of chronic pain have been identified. Previous research of biomarkers and epigenetic markers associated with pain is sparse in patients with AF. The objective is to study levels of biomarkers and epigenetic markers in blood in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF (n=100), in relation to severity of AF symptoms, and compared to age- and sex-matched controls without AF (n=100). Blood will be obtained before and after AF ablation and levels of biomarkers, epigenetic markers and cardiac and inflammatory markers, analysed. Patients will complete an AF-specific symptom and a generic health-related quality of life questionnaire. In the future, biomarkers and epigenetic markers associated with pain may be used as a tool for evaluation of patients with AF and have an impact on individualized management. Another possibility is a rationale for future studies of novel analgesics that neutralize biomarkers or antagonizes its receptors.
The study aims to investigate pathophysiological changes in coagulation in relation to inflammation in patients with acute pancreatitis. Serum and plasma is sampled repeated days from admission. Analysis will be done after recruitment. Specific biomarkers accuracy for prediction of moderate and severer acute pancreatitis will be calculated.
The purpose of this single-arm interventional study is to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of the Symplicity Spyral system in subjects treated with renal denervation. Additionally, long-term follow-up data will also be collected from eligible subjects previously treated in the SPYRAL PIVOTAL-SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED and SPYRAL HTN-ON MED studies.
Persistent pain and disability in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) grade II and III are common. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) have shown promising result for neck-specific exercise (NSE) programmes in chronic WAD with clinically and statistically significant improvement in pain and disability. Neck-specific exercise with internet support (NSEIT) and four visits to a physiotherapist was non-inferior to NSE at a physiotherapist clinic 2 times a week in 12 weeks (24 visits). The aims of the proposed study are to evaluate an implementation strategy for NSE and NSEIT in primary health care and to evaluate the effectiveness of NSE and NSEIT in clinical practice.
ICU patients often suffer from rapid and severe muscle loss. It is not known if physical therapy can mitigate the muscle wasting associated with critical illness. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of resistance exercise on muscle protein turnover in ICU patients. The investigators hypothesize that resistance exercise, in addition to amino acid supplementation and routine physiotherapy, results in an improved lower limb muscle protein balance compared to amino acid supplementation and routine physiotherapy alone.
