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 number of endoscopies performed varies greatly between different countries and does not reflect variations in disease incidents. The costs of unnecessary endoscopies are significant and with a better selection of which patients need to be examined with endoscopy, resources could be saved in healthcare, and a better triage would mean that malignancies and other more serious conditions do not have to wait. An example of unnecessary endoscopy is a colonoscopy in patients with irritable bowel syndrome or gastroscopy in patients with functional dyspepsia. The purpose of the project is, among other things: - What diagnostic benefit have gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy and double balloon enteroscopy for different indications in different age groups? - What are the risks of this type of examination? - Can patients be better selected based on symptoms, psychometric data or laboratory findings to reduce the number of unnecessary examinations and prioritize those that should be scooped up first? - Can changed calling methods reduce the number of late cancellations and rebookings and missed patients?
The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to demonstrate the superiority of iptacopan (LNP023) at a dose of 200 mg b.i.d. compared to placebo on top of maximally tolerated ACEi or ARB on reduction of proteinuria and slowing renal disease progression in primary IgA Nephropathy patients.
This is a multicenter non-inferiority study, designed to establish non-inferiority of the study treatment rituximab compared with the comparator ocrelizumab for consecutively included patients (male or female) with active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis aged 18-60 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relative bioavailability (rBA; Period 1) and bioequivalence (BE; Period 2 and 3) of various strengths and formulations of niraparib and abiraterone acetate (AA) at steady state under modified fasted conditions in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Levels of physical activity (PA) and physical fitness in children are low and declining, both globally and in Sweden. Preschools are important settings with the potential to influence the majority (>93%) of Swedish children's PA behaviors in early stage of life (<5 years). Preschool policy is an organizational level factor associated with children's PA but the casual link remains unclear. A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a policy package for children's PA levels and other relevant health indicators.
This is a prospective randomized multicenterstudy focusing on PROMs after primary corticoid injection for triggerfinger with a comparison of two different injection techniques.
This is a study on the effects of education on secondary fracture prevention in primary health care centers (PHCC) and referral from hospitals to these PHCC of patients with recent fragility fractures. The design is Cluster-randomized controlled study with two arms. 40 primary health care centers (PHCC) are included, each PHCC constitutes a cluster. The intervention group contains 20 PHCCs and the control group of the remaining 20 PHCCs. The educational part of the intervention is divided into three sessions; one web based course succeeded by two multiprofessional seminars with six months interval. During the intervention period patients enlisted at the intervention PHCCs, aged 60 or more who are diagnosed on a fragility fracture are referred to their respective PHCC. The primary outcome are the proportions of patients who receive bone specific treatment after their fracture in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The Infinity-Swedeheart trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized registry-based clinical trial. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 (DynamX Bioadaptor : Resolute Onyx).
This study is done to see if semaglutide has an effect on walking ability compared with placebo (dummy medicine) in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo ("dummy") medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine for type 2 diabetes that can be prescribed by doctors in some countries. Participants will get the study medicine (semaglutide or placebo) in a pre-filled pen for injection. Participants must inject it once a week into the stomach area, thigh, or upper arm, at any time of the day. The study will last for about 59 weeks. Participants will have 8 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. At some clinic visits, participants will have blood tests. At some visits participants will also do a treadmill test to measure how far they can walk. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a lethal disease and at present no available treatment method seems to prevent the disease from progressing or relapsing in the long term. NK cells have a relatively high cytotoxic capacity and an anti tumour effect, suggesting a potential as a treatment of MM.This is a phase I, first-in-human, therapeutic exploratory study, where no benefits for the patients can be guaranteed. However, the theoretical implication is that the infused cells may have a positive antitumour effect for the participating individuals.
