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.
Improving personalized cancer treatments and finding the best strategies to treat each patient relies on using new diagnostic technologies. Currently, for colorectal cancer, the methods used to decide who gets additional post-surgery treatment are suboptimal. Some patients get too much treatment, while others do not get enough. There is a new way to explore if there is any cancer left in a patient's body using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detected in blood samples. This can help decide who needs more treatment after surgery. Even though many tests have been developed, it has yet to be determined which test performs best at relevant time points. The GUIDE.MRD consortium is a group of experts, including scientists, technology, and pharmaceutical companies. The consortium is working on creating a reliable standard for the ctDNA tests, validating their clinical utility, and collecting data to help decide on the best treatment for each patient. GUIDE.MRD-01-CRC is a part of the GUIDE.MRD project.
Continuation study to provide continued access to latozinemab for participants who have previously participated in a latozinemab study
Patients scheduled for surgery for primary paraesophageal herniation are randomized to either conventional surgical hernia repair or with the addition of gastropexy.
The study is a pilot study (Total N=30), with at pre, weekly during treatment, post and at three-month follow-up.
The objective of this project is to investigate factors that contribute to the success and lack of success in DBT among individuals with BPD and a history of self-harm in a clinical psychiatric setting. 1. Do certain personality factors and identity disturbance predict the treatment outcome of DBT in individuals with BPD? 2. Do changes in identity disturbance, self-hate, or emotion regulation mediate the treatment outcome of DBT in individuals with BPD? 3. Do specific personality profiles moderate the treatment outcomes of DBT for individuals with BPD? 4. When does the primary treatment effect occur, and does this effect persist after a 12-month follow-up period?
The standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer without metastases is gastrectomy, where the whole stomach or a large proportion is removed surgically together with regional lymph nodes. Some patients cannot tolerate this invasive procedure because of old age or comorbidities. A tumor left in place can cause local symptoms such as bleeding or outlet obstruction. In this study, the investigators want to test the safety and feasibility of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Collaborative Surgery (LECS) as a less invasive treatment option to locally remove gastric tumors without requiring extensive surgery in these frail patients. LECS is a minimally invasive surgical technique where the tumor margin is first marked from the inside with a gastroscope, followed by surgical removal of the lesion under endoscopic guidance.
The project is a longitudinal observation study that aims to systematically evaluate selected parts of the material collected within the framework of the psychotherapy training conducted at the Center of Psychotherapy Education and Research unit at Karolinska Institutet and Region Stockholm, Sweden. Students at the unit, patients being administered psychotherapy by the students, and supervisors will participate in the study. The aim of the present study is to investigate the associations between (1) content and quality of psychotherapy supervision, (2) student therapists' competence, and (3) patient outcomes following student-led psychotherapy.
A 2-arm (sequence), 2-period, 2-treatments, single blinded (outcome assessor), randomized crossover-trial (12+12 weeks with immediate contrast) comparing a low-carbohydrate-high-fat diet (LCHF) with a high-carbohydrate-low-fat diet (HCLF) among individuals with prodromal Alzheimer's disease.
Magnetic tracer injected before preoperative chemotherapy in breast cancer patients for sentinel lymph node detection. Also, magnetic tracer in combination with magnetic clip for index node identification.
This is an open user study to evaluate D005 vagnial mousse with regards to user-friendliness, and measure time from start of treatment to symptom relief and measure the clarity of instructional material. The study will be conducted at seven sites in Sweden, the study population will consist of up to 100 female subjects.
