The Utility of Treatment With Nasogastric Tube Placement for Small Bowel Obstruction

Gastropexy in the Repair of Patients with Paraesophageal Hernias

Patients scheduled for surgery due to primary paraesophageal herniation are randomized into either the control group or the interventional group. Control Group: Patients undergo a crural repair combined with a short and floppy Nissen fundoplication. Interventional Group: In addition to the crural repair and Nissen fundoplication, patients receive a gastropexy. This involves the fixation of the posterior part of the wrap the right crus, the left portion of the wrap to the diaphragm, and the minor curvature of the stomach to the abdominal wall. Follow-Up Assessments: Imaging: Computed tomography (CT) scans are performed before surgery and at 1 and 3 years postoperatively to evaluate anatomical outcomes. Patient-Reported Outcomes: The following questionnaires are completed before surgery, as well as at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years after surgery: SF-36: A global quality of life instrument. GSRS: The Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale. Reflux Frequency Questionnaire: A measure reflux disease-related symptoms. Dakkak's Dysphagia Score: An assessment of swallowing difficulties.

Effect of Salovum™ and SPC-Flakes™ on Abemaciclib-induced Gastrointestinal Toxicity in Early Breast Cancer

In patients with high-risk luminal breast cancer, the addition of CDK 4/6-inhibitor abemaciclib to adjuvant endocrine therapy for two years has been associated with improved disease-free survival and is now recommended from national and international guidelines as the preferred treatment strategy for this patient group. However, patients treated with abemaciclib have higher risk of diarrhea which primarily occurs during the first three months from treatment initiation and seems to impact patients' quality of life. As a result, early and proactive strategies to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea from the initiation of abemaciclib should be investigated to ensure that patients in whom adjuvant abemaciclib is recommended can complete their treatment as planned.

DESTINY Breast Respond HER2-low Europe

This non-interventional study will investigate the effectiveness withT-DXd, the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, treatment patterns, tolerability, management of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and patient experience of T-DXd in patients with HER2-low unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer. Patients will be treated according to the proposed indication statement in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). No drug product will be administered as part of this study. Data on conventional chemotherapy (i.e., including but not limited to capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, paclitaxel and nab-paclitaxel) will also be collected in a disease registry part of the study.

NordicTrip, a Translational Study of Preoperative Chemotherapy in TNBC

Primary aim: Pathological complete response rate after preoperative chemotherapy is the primary end-point of the study, which will be evaluated by comparing the effects of neoadjuvant administration of a carboplatin-based treatment and treatment adding capecitabine on pCR. After the approval of pembrolizumab in the preoperative treatment of early TNBC in 2022 the study will consist of two cohorts, one (cohort 1) without the addition of pembrolizumab, and one (cohort 2) with the addition of pembrolizumab to both study arms. The primary evaluation will be performed on the entire study population including both cohorts. Primary translational aim: To investigate if the effects of the treatments depend on homologous repair deficiency (HRD)-status. More specifically, the aim is to test for differential effect of the two treatments on pCR for HRD-negative (HRD low and intermediate by oncoscan) and HRD-positive (HRD high by oncoscan) patients.

TENecteplase in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Stuy (TenCRAOS)

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmologic emergency that, without prompt revascularization, bears high risk of permanent blindness. The condition is typically the result of an artery-to-artery embolism from a carotid plaque or cardio embolism. A recent meta-analysis of observational data indicates that prompt revascularization with systemic thrombolysis might improve outcome. A randomized controlled trial of early systemic thrombolysis for CRAO is therefore warranted. The aim of this project is to assess the effect of systemic tissue plasminogen activator tenecteplase versus placebo administered within 4.5 hours of CRAO onset in patients admitted to the participating hospitals in Europe. The main endpoint is the proportion of patients with ≤ 0.7 logMAR visual acuity 30 (±5) days after treatment, representing an improvement in visual acuity of at least 0.3 logMAR, equal to at least 15 letters/three lines on a visual acuity chart. In addition, we will access differences in visual field parameters and patient reported outcome measures between the groups. This study is based on a broad collaboration and interaction between leading ophthalmologists and neurologists in European centres.

Remote Exercise SWEDEHEART Study

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, this study will be performed in two steps: 1). National feasibility and safety study. 2). National multicenter registry-based cluster randomized crossover clinical trial (RRCT). 1. In the feasibility study, patients will be offered remote exCR at all participating sites until the peak of the pandemic has been achieved and care goes back to normal. The feasibility study will include patients until Aug 2022. 2. CR centers (not patients) will be cluster randomized to either the intervention or control. Patients at intervention centers will be offered remote exCR, usual care centre-based exCR, or a combination of both modes, as self-preferred choice. At control centers, patients will be offered usual care centre-based exCR only. The duration of each time period for each center will be 15 months. Long-term follow-up will be performed 1 year and 3 years after the index cardiac event.

Group Sessions and Web-based Treatment Targeting Children With Obesity Age 5-12 Years and Their Families

Obesity in children and adolescents worldwide has increased from 1 % in 1975 to about 6 % in 2016. Experts have estimated that the world will have more obese children and adolescents than underweight at the year 2022. Preventing and reversing excess weight gain in children is important since obesity often tracks into adulthood with adverse health consequences. Web-based interventions have been shown to be effective, to have a beneficial treatment outcome and have been proposed to have great potential to reach many children and improve cost effectiveness. This is a randomized controlled study with cross-over design. The intervention consist of a doctor's appointment, four group-based education sessions over four weeks, psychical activity on prescription and a 12-week web-based treatment program. The control group will have standard care treatment consisting of doctor's appointment and, in some cases, contact with dietician.

A Study Comparing Abelacimab to Dalteparin in the Treatment of Gastrointestinal/Genitourinary Cancer and Associated VTE

Cancer associated thrombosis (CAT) is a severe medical condition which is characterized by high incidence of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and high risk for bleeding. Patients with intact GI and GU cancer have increased bleeding risk with oral direct anticoagulants (DOACs), Guidelines advice caution with those DOACs or state preference for low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in this population. The ANT-008 study will compare treatment with abelacimab monthly administration to LMWH daily subcutaneous (sc) administration over 6-month treatment. The study outcomes include VTE recurrence, bleeding event and treatment discontinuation at 6 months

A Study Comparing Abelacimab to Apixaban in the Treatment of Cancer-associated VTE

Cancer associated thrombosis (CAT) is a severe medical condition which is characterized by high incidence of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and high risk for bleeding. The two most common treatments today are low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and direct anticoagulants (DOACs), in which each has limitations. DOACs are administered orally and are seen as a more convenient alternative though associated with bleeding risk; further, some cancer patients have difficulty swallowing or develop vomiting which leads to unpredictable pharmacodynamic effects with oral therapy. The ANT-007 study will compare treatment with abelacimab monthly administration to apixaban twice daily administration over a 6-month treatment. The study outcomes include VTE recurrence, bleeding event and treatment discontinuation at 6 months
