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 an open-label, non-randomised FIH trial investigating the safety and tolerability of a novel ATMP, pTTL, composed of autologous tumour-draining lymph node-derived T cells stimulated in vitro with personalised cancer neoantigens. The neoantigens are selected through a process starting with next generation sequencing (NGS) of tumour material from the patient followed by selection of neoantigenic mutations using an in-house software, PIOR®. Selected neoantigen epitopes are expressed as recombinant proteins, NAG, and used to stimulate T cells to promote neoantigen-specific T cell expansion in vitro in pTTL production. pTTL is thus based on autologous cells stimulated with patient-specific neoantigens. In consequence, every pTTL product is unique and designated for use in one single individual. pTTL will be administered to patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) as a single intravenous dose.
This study aims at determining whether diaphragm ultrasound examining diaphragm thickening fraction, excursion and density before and after surgery can predict respiratory complications in the postoperative period. Patients scheduled for major elective abdominal, pelvic or vascular surgery will be included in the study and diaphragm ultrasound is performed before surgery and after surgery in the postoperative ward. Physiological parameters, laboratory parameters, data on surgery and anesthesia and comorbidities will be registered. Complications such as pneumonia, desaturation, need for intubation and other respiratory events up to 30 days will be registered and later correlated with the diaphragm measurements.
External ventricular drain infections are difficult to identify with current diagnostic methods. Initiation of antibiotic treatment is usually supported by indirect methods of bacterial infection, such as clinical signs or cerebrospinal fluid cell counts (CSF). As such, excessive treatment with antibiotics is common in these patients due to suspected infection while the incidence of true culture confirmed infections are less common. This study will evaluate three novel diagnostic methods for rapid direct bacterial detection in CSF, in order to assess if these can be used to guide antibiotic treatment in neurocritically ill patients, compared to CSF bacterial cultures.
The goal of this observational longitudinal study is to learn about circulating tumor Human Papilloma Virus-DNA (ctHPV-DNA) as a biomarker for HPV positive oropharyngeal cancer and cancer of unknown primary of the head and neck. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can ctHPV-DNA be used for treatment evaluation in HPV positive oropharyngeal cancer and cancer of unknown primary of the head and neck? - Can circulating HPV-DNA be used as a biomarker for recurrent disease during surveillance? Participants will be asked to leave plasma samples at diagnose, at the end of treatment and at every clinical follow-up. The patients are there own controls.
The objective is to explore the potential short and long-term impact of the Exopulse Mollii Suit on subjects with CP, MS, stroke, SCI or other neurological disorders which may cause such types of symptoms, and to identify high responders among the sub-categories of the diagnoses. The primary endpoint will be improvement on the Berg/Pediatric Balance Scale (BBS) as a measurement of balance and risk of falls.
Breast surgery plays an important role in the treatment of breast cancer. This study investigates if the use of Harmonic Focus has advantages than the use of conventional diathermy in axillary clearance due to metastatic breast cancer.
This is an observational study in which only data are collected from participants receiving their usual treatment. The study is done in children under 2 years old with venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition in which blood clots form in the veins, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling. The clot can also break apart and travel in the blood to the lungs where it can block the blood flow. This can be life threatening. Rivaroxaban is approved for doctors to prescribe to children with VTE, but there is limited information about how it is used, how well it works, and how safe it is in children under 2 years old. Children in this study are already receiving or will receive rivaroxaban or other currently used medicines for VTE from their doctor according to the approved product information. The purpose of this study is to collect information on the pattern of use and safety of rivaroxaban and other standard medicines for VTE in children under 2 years old. The main information that researchers will collect in this study: - Age, gender, and other information about the child and their illness - Type of VTE treatment given to the child - Occurrence of medically important bleeding and its severity Further information that researchers will collect: - Changes in the characteristics of the children given VTE treatment (e.g., changes in the age range of children given VTE treatment) and changes in the treatment pattern for VTE - Return of VTE symptoms - Types of doctors who prescribe VTE treatment and their set-up (e.g., special clinics versus hospitals) Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are needed in this study. The data for this study will be collected from electronic health records and health insurance claims data until 2026. Researchers will observe each child during treatment until: - end of the anticoagulation treatment period e.g. discontinuation of all study drugs, - their information is no longer available, or - the study ends.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) to standard preoperative treatment in patients with non-metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is T-DXd more effective than standard preoperative treatment? - are there markers in the tumor or blood of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer that can help us predict response to treatment? Participants will be divided into two groups, where one group will be treated with three courses of T-DXd and the other group will be treated with three courses standard of care treatment. Thereafter, further treatment will be decided by the tumor's molecular subtype.
This work aims to evaluate whether voice recordings collected from patients diagnosed with COPD and healthy control groups can be used to detect the disease using machine learning techniques.
This sub-study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, virologic efficacy and health outcomes of CAB (GSK1265744) and RPV long acting (LA) in HIV-infected adult participants currently enrolled in the Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression every 2 Months (ATLAS2M [A2M]) study (NCT03299049).
