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.
Study designed to observe the usage patterns, efficacy and safety of REKOVELLE® in women naive to IVF and ICSI, undergoing their first Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) treatment cycle with REKOVELLE® in routine clinical practice.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor impairment due to a brain malformation or a brain lesion before the age of two. Spasticity, hypertonus in flexor muscles, dyscoordination and an impaired sensorimotor control are cardinal symptoms. The brain lesion is non-progressive, but the flexor muscles of the limbs will during adolescence become relatively shorter and shorter (contracted), forcing the joints into a progressively flexed position. This will worsen the positions of already paretic and malfunctioning arms and legs. Due to bending forces across the joints, bony malformations will occur, worsening the function even further. Since about 25 years a combination treatment with intramuscular botulinum toxin injections, braces and training has had a tremendous and increasing popularity, although lasting long-term clinical advantage is not yet proven. Muscle morphology of the biceps brachii and the gastrocnemius muscles: - The hypothesis is that care as usual, i.e. training and splinting sessions with botulinum toxin as adjuvant treatment, will reduce (normalize) the expression of the fast fatigable myosin heavy chain MyHC IIx and increase the expression of developmental myosin, as a possible sign of growth. As the biceps in the arm is used irregularly and voluntarily, and the gastrocnemius is activated during automated gait, the adaptations of those muscles will be different. Methods: Baseline muscle biopsies: Percutaneous biopsies are taken just before the first intramuscular botulinum toxin injection is given. The doses and the intervals for the botulinum toxin treatment will follow clinical routines. Biopsies 4-6 months, 12 months and 24 months after the first botulinum toxin injection: The exact same procedure as above will be performed, but the biopsies will be taken 2 cm distant, medial or lateral, from previous biopsy sites - Significance:. More knowledge is warranted regarding the actual molecular process in the muscle leading to a contracture, and its relation to the constant communication with the injured central nervous system. This study will give answers that could result in new, early prophylactic treatment of joint movement restrictions and motor impairment in children with CP.
Overweight patients with type 2 diabetes are offered a total diet replacement with the goal of weight loss and diabetes remission. Study participants are randomised to eHealth follow-up or face-to-face follow-up, but the dietary advice is the same in both groups. A healthy control group with normal glucose tolerance is examined once but is not randomised and does not receive any intervention.
A single-center prospective study. Patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection with femoral arterial cannulation between 2017 and 2022 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden are eligible. Femoral cannulation was performed either with surgical cut-down and arterial puncture under direct vision or percutaneously with planned percutaneous arteriotomy closed using a plug-based arteriotomy closure device (MANTA, Essential Medical Inc., Malvern, Pennsylvania). Data regarding preoperative clinical characteristics and operative details were obtained by medical records review.
The LITMUS Imaging Study is a prospectively recruited, observational study of patients with histologically characterised non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of imaging biomarkers (ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance biomarkers) against NAFLD histological scores in a cross-sectional analysis and the natural history of NAFLD in a longitudinal study.
It is a randomized phase 3 study comparing two conditioning regimens in children with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, AML, undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation. The primary aim is to investigate if a conditioning regimen containing one alkylator (Bu) combined with two antimetabolites (Clo and Flu) results in superior 2-year acute grade III to IV-free, chronic non-limited GvHD-free, relapse free survival than a conditioning regimen combining three alkylating agents (BuCyMel)
The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 9,400 healthy participants (this number excludes participants from 8 sites which were terminated for quality issues) 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence. Participants will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination series at about 0, 2, and 5 to 9 months and then receive a booster dose about 12 months after end of primary vaccination series. Vaccination of participants will occur at a time of year such that the primary series is completed before the peak Lyme disease season followed by a booster dose just prior to the beginning of the second Lyme disease season. A subset of participants will be followed for a third Lyme disease season. Comparison will be made between the Lyme disease cases of people receiving the study vaccine to those of the people who are not. This will help us determine if the study vaccine is safe and effective. If enrolled, participants will need to visit the research site at least 7 times during the study, and for a subset of participants up to 9 times. There will also be at least 5 telephone contacts. It is expected that each participant will take part in this study for up to about 2 and a half years. The subset of participants followed for a third Lyme disease season will take part in this study for up to about to 3 and a half years.
Impaired intestinal permeability and microbial dysbiosis are important pathophysiological mechanisms underlying irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). ReFerm®, also called Profermin®, is a postbiotic product of oat gruel fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. In this experimental study, we investigated whether ReFerm® has a beneficial effect on the intestinal epithelial barrier function in patients with IBS.
This is a Phase I, single-center, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized study designed to evaluate the PK, cardiodynamic ECG effects, safety, and tolerability of 2 single ascending oral doses of linaprazan glurate. The study will explore the PK properties of linaprazan glurate and linaprazan as well as the cardiodynamic ECG effects, safety, and tolerability after the administration of single doses (300 mg, 600 mg, 200 mg and a final dose level of maximum 400 mg) of linaprazan glurate, using 25 mg base formulation (300 mg and 600 mg doses) and 25 mg and 100 mg HCl formulation (200 mg and final dose level of maximum 400 mg) oral tablets.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral azacitidine in participants with low to intermediate International Prognostic Scoring System Revised (IPSS-R) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
