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.
Prediabetes is associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although metformin can delay progression to diabetes there is a lack of RCTs evaluating the effect of metformin on cardiovascular outcomes. MIMET aims to investigate if addition of metformin to standard care has effects on the occurrence of cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction in patients with newly detected prediabetes (identified by oral glucose tolerance test, HbA1c or fasting glucose levels).
This study is open to adults with chronic kidney disease. People with and without type 2 diabetes can take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 690517 improves kidney function in people with chronic kidney disease when taken alone or in combination with a medicine called empagliflozin. In the first part of the study, participants take empagliflozin or placebo as tablets every day for 2 months. Placebo tablets look like empagliflozin tablets but do not contain any medicine. In the second part, participants are divided into several groups. Depending on the group, the participants then additionally take different doses of BI 690517 or placebo as tablets for 3.5 months. In this case, placebo tablets look like BI 690517 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 6 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 12 times. Where possible, about 4 of the 12 visits can be done at the participant's home instead of the study site. The trial staff may also contact the participants by phone or video call. Participants collect urine samples at home. These samples are then analysed to assess kidney function. At the end of the trial the results are compared between the different groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
To test the applicability of the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) in an LMIC setting and to compare the prevalence and severity of complications in patients <60 and ≥60 years of age a retrospective medical records review is used.
Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) often link their symptoms to foods. Interest in dietary management recently increased, including the use of a low FODMAP diet. To investigate relation of FODMAPs and IBS, a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial will be carried out in adult (>18) patients with IBS according to Rome IV criteria. The aim is to assess low FODMAP diet versus moderate/high FODMAP diet in IBS patients.
In the current project, primary health care patients with mental illness such as anxiety, depression, fatigue or sleep disorders will be followed. The study includes both health conversations with the health curve as a systematic work with lifestyle habits, and the biochemical risk marker copeptin with a focus on improved lifestyle habits and the development of cardiovascular complications. Participants will be followed up at 12 and 24 months with renewed health interview including the health curve and blood sampling. National registries will be used for a, up to 20 year long follow-up regarding cardiovascular complications and mortality.
Purpose: To demonstrate that personalised therapy can be delivered to patients with IBD, by treating patients with an increased risk of poor disease course, defined by a serum protein signature at diagnosis, with a top-down treatment, and that this treatment strategy improves clinical outcomes. Objectives: Primary objective: To assess if a top-down treatment can improve treatment outcomes in IBD patients with a high risk of poor disease course, defined by a serum protein signature at diagnosis. Secondary objective: To assess if a top-down treatment can improve quality of life and health resource allocation in IBD patients with a high risk of poor disease course, defined by a serum protein signature at diagnosis. Study design: A multi-centre, biomarker-stratified open-label controlled trial, where newly diagnosed IBD patients are randomised (1:1) to a group with access to the protein signature or a group without access to the protein signature. Study subjects within the protein signature arm who display a high-risk protein profile, will be treated according to a top-down treatment algorithm (anti-TNF agent with/without an immunomodulatory) and subjects without access to the protein signature will be treated according to current clinical practice. Study population: Newly diagnosed IBD patients. Number of subjects:250 Primary variables: Composite of both corticosteroid-free clinical remission and endoscopic remission at Week 52, defined as below. Surgery because of IBD during follow-up will be defined as treatment failure. Ulcerative colitis; - Clinical remission per patient reported Mayo: A stool frequency subscore (SFS) ≤ 1, and not greater than baseline, and a rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) of 0. - Endoscopic remission: An endoscopic Mayo subscore of 0 (OR in patients without endoscopy at week 52, normalization of f-Calprotectin, defined as < 250μg/g Crohn's disease; - Clinical remission: An average daily Stool Frequency (SF) ≤ 2.8 and not worse than Baseline AND average daily Abdominal Pain (AP) score ≤ 1 and not worse than Baseline. - Endoscopic remission: SES-CD≤2 (OR in patients without endoscopy at week 52, normalization of f-Calprotectin, defined as < 250μg/g.
The study will investigate a CBT based treatment approach for low self-esteem among young adults.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of Posoleucel for the treatment of adenovirus (AdV) infection in pediatric and adult allo-HCT recipients receiving standard of care (SoC).
Multicenter, multinational, double-blind, randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled Phase III study to investigate the efficacy and safety of 100 mg FAB122 once daily as oral formulation in ALS patients.
This is a phase 2,prospective double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study with the aim to demonstrate non-inferiority, in terms of immunogenicity, between the wet formulation and a newly developed partially dried formulation of selected components of ETVAX.
