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 scientific basis for dietary recommendations in type 1 diabetes is almost lacking, with the current recommendations being based on type 2 diabetes studies. Therefore the overall purpose of this study is to improve the current evidence for dietary recommendations to people with type 1 diabetes. Study aim: To compare how a strictly low carbohydrate diet, a moderately low carbohydrate diet and a traditional diabetes diet (with higher amounts of carbohydrates) affect insulin requirements and metabolic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Carbohydrate intake is 50-60% of the total energy intake in the traditional diabetes diet, 30-40% in the moderately low carbohydrate diet and 15-20% in the strictly low carbohydrate diet with a minimum of 50 g carbohydrates/day. A diet with less than 50 g carbohydrates/day is usually called very low carbohydrate diet or ketogenic and will not be tested in this study. Those who wish to participate and meet the inclusion criteria (and none of the exclusion criteria) will be randomized to one of the three diets. The duration of the intervention is 6 months after which the participants will be able to choose their own diet for another 6 months. The main study visits are at baseline (screening and study start), 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Shorter visits will be at 3 and 6 weeks. The participants will meet with a study nurse, dietitian and doctor. They will attend two carbohydrate counting courses before the start of the intervention in order to be able to match their insulin to the amount carbohydrates they eat. Participants will receive written materials about their diets with menus and recipes for better adherence to the diet. The primary endpoint is the change in insulin requirements within and between groups (for secondary endpoints please see relevant section). For assessing the different endpoints the participants will provide blood, urine and feces samples for lab analyses as well as register their insulin use, blood glucose, diet, physical activity and any blood ketones or hypoglycemia electronically or in written forms. Continuous/flash glucose monitoring (CGM/FGM) will be also used. Dietary assessment and adherence will be based on 3-4 day food diaries before every scheduled study visit.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran (ALN-TTRSC02) in participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis). Participants will receive vutrisiran subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 3 months (q3M) or the reference comparator patisiran intravenous (IV) injection once every 3 weeks (q3w) during the 18 month Treatment Period. This study will use the placebo arm of the APOLLO study (NCT01960348) as an external comparator for the primary and most other efficacy endpoints during the 18 Month Treatment Period. Following the 18 Month Treatment Period, all participants will be randomized to receive vutrisiran SC injection once every 6 months (q6M) or q3M in the Randomized Treatment Extension (RTE) Period.
Type 1 diabetes is associated with a significant increase in mortality, cardiovascular disease, injuries on eyes and kidneys. These risks are largely dependent on glycemic control. Multiple strategies of achieving good glycemic control exist. Despite this, only about 20 % of patients in Sweden reach the target HbA1c of ≤ 52 mmol/mol. It is well-known that when the motivation is high, a large proportion of patients reach good glycaemic control with current treatments, e.g. most pregnant women reach a much better glycaemic control. The patient is then motivated to a greater extent in managing the disease, e.g. by carefully dosing insulin and more closely monitoring blood glucose levels. Moreover, besides lack of motivation, specific psychiatric conditions are well-known barriers in being compliant with treatments such as depression, eating disorders and attention deficit disorders (ADHD). Further, identified specific diabetes-related psychosocial factors include severe fear of hypoglycaemia, diabetes-burnout, unrealistic treatment goals, poor relationship with physician, feelings of powerlessness and treatment skepticism. These parameters can be measured via a diabetes distress scale where a high score is correlated to higher HbA1c. The majority of outpatient diabetes clinics in Sweden today request the resource of a diabetes-educated psychologist. However, more evidence is needed from randomized multicentre trials whether such a resource would help to improve HbA1c, reduce diabetes-related distress and improve quality of life. The primary aim of the current study is to evaluate whether the assistance of a diabetes-educated psychologist in the diabetes care of patients with type 1 diabetes improves HbA1c. Secondary endpoints include studying its influence on diabetes-related distress and quality of life. The study is a 1 year randomized trial where the intervention group will meet with a diabetes-educated psychologist in addition to conventional care.
The primary study objective is to evaluate if personalized treatment by decision support, based on the biomarker-based risk prediction (ABC-scores) guided strategy, reduces the occurrence of the composite outcome of stroke or death in patients with atrial fibrillation. Approximately 6500 patients will be randomized 1:1 to ABC risk score guided therapy or standard care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of niraparib in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) compared to AAP and placebo.
This trial, Treatment of NF1-related plexiform neurofibroma with trametinib; a single arm,open-label study with the goals of volumetric partial remission and pain relief (EudraCT 2018-001846-32, Sponsor protocol number BUS2018-1, related Novartis reference number CTMT212ASE01T) is a pediatric clinical trial that investigates the potential use of the drug trametinib (Mekinist®) as treatment for symptomatic or likely to become symptomatic NF1-related plexiform neurofibromas (PN) in children between 1 year and 17 year and 11 months of age. Trametinib is orally administered qd at 0.025 mg/kg up to a maximum of 2 mg from six years of age and 0.032mg/kilo up to 5 years of age, provided either as tablets or as oral solution. It is manufactured and distributed by Novartis under the trade name Mekinist®. The primary endpoint is remission of tumor volume ≥20%, evaluated using volumetric MRI at 18 and 30 months of treatment. The secondary endpoint is reversal of pain from NF1-related PN, evaluated monthly with agespecific pain scales; VAS scale (from 8 years) or Faces Pain Scale (from 3 to 8 years). As an exploratory measure, the potential effects of the treatment on the cognitive function will be assessed using well-established tests such as WISC-V (age range 6:0 - 16:11), NEPSY-II (age range 3:0-16:11), and CPT-3 (age range 8:0 - adult). Cognitive dysfunction is well described in patients with NF1, and the MAPK/ERK-pathway has been indicated to be involved in cognition.
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study of oral LOXO-305 (pirtobrutinib) in patients with CLL/SLL and NHL who have failed or are intolerant to standard of care.
This study will compare DS-8201a to physician choice standard treatment. Participants must have HER2-low breast cancer that has been treated before. Participants' cancer: - Cannot be removed by an operation - Has spread to other parts of the body

The study consists of three different cohorts: - Dose escalation cohorts - Repeated injection cohorts - Expansion cohort
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of avapritinib + best supportive care (BSC) with placebo + BSC in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by BSC. The study will be conducted in 3 parts. All patients will receive treatment with avapritinib during Part 3 including those rolling over from the placebo group.
