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 a phase II randomised, double-blind, dose finding, repeat dose Phase II multicentre study of ODX for the treatment of patients with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and skeletal metastases. The primary objective is to evaluate the relative change from baseline in response markers related to bone metabolism (alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) and S P1NP) at 12 weeks of three different doses of ODX (3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 mg/kg ODX).
A randomized clinical trial investigating transcatheter (TAVR) versus surgical (SAVR) aortic valve replacement in patients 75 years of age or younger suffering from severe aortic valve stenosis. Study hypothesis: The clinical outcome (death of any cause, stroke and rehospitalization (related to the procedure, valve or heart failure)) obtained within one year after TAVR is non-inferior to SAVR.
A new education material with 3D technique was developed, by integrating 3D technology in an existing evidence-based pulmonary educational program, to enable an increased personalized education within a group setting. The investigators believe that this educational model will lead to increased adherence to treatment, and suggested lifestyle changes, which in turn improves patients' HRQL The purpose of this study was therefore to develop a pulmonary educational program in interactive 3D visualization technology and to evaluate differences between education with 3D technique or conventional technique in patient with COPD. Furthermore the LCQ will be translated and culturally adapted into Swedish and tested for validity and reliability.
A multicenter randomized controlled trial is performed in Sweden (Uppsala, Malmo and Stockholm) comparing surgery with posterior C1-C2 fusion and conservative treatment with a rigid collar. Follow up will be performed up to one year after start of treatment registering EQ5D, NDI and cervical CT scans. Mortality will be documented during follow-up. All direct and indirect costs of treatment will be registered and used for cost-effectiveness analysis.
The study will compare a novel calculation model (HeProCalc AB) with a standard weight-based and activated clotting time adjusted calculation for the dosing of Heparin and protamine and assess the impact on postoperative bleeding and blood transfusions after cardiac surgery.
A prospective randomized study comparing a new implant with three interlocked pins for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures (Hansson Pinloc System, Swemac Linköping, Sweden) versus 2 parallel pins with hooks (Hansson Pins, Swemac Linköping, Sweden).
This is nationwide registry-based randomised clinical multicenter trial in which patients will be randomised to gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The co-primary endpoint are weight control over 5 years and the amount of severe adverse events. Additionally the investigators have predefined a number of secondary endpoints, and the trial has a sufficient number of patients to allow comparisons across subgroups.
This is a multi-centre, multinational, prospective, non-interventional study in females with a diagnosis of moderate to severe uterine fibroids, and for whom a treatment with Esmya in a long term manner is planned, and in subjects who were previously exposed to UPA in the long term Phase III studies.
STROKESTOP II will study if the biomarker NT-proBNP together with single-lead ECG can be used as a primary population screening tool for silent atrial fibrillation, and builds on previous results from the STROKESTOP study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency and grade of gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients after thoracic cardiovascular surgery, and to search for biomarkers of gastrointestinal dysfunction. All adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass at Örebro University Hospital, Örebro, Sweden, are asked for participation in this study. All participating patients sign informed consent at the inclusion. The first three postoperative days the function of the gastrointestinal tract is scored according to a rating scale (grade 0-4), along with other clinical parameters. Plasma blood samples are collected from each patient preoperatively and the first three postoperative days. The plasma samples are stored in a biobank for later determination of plasma proteins. In the analysis, the patients are divided according to the gastrointestinal rating scale and the plasma protein expression, gastrointestinal complications and all-cause mortality are compared between the groups.
