Clinical studies
A clinical trial is a scientific investigation in humans, either patients or healthy volunteers, aimed at increasing knowledge of diseases and testing the safety and efficacy of new medicines, treatments or medical devices. These studies are crucial for developing healthcare by evaluating everything from surgical procedures to new medicines.
Clinical trials can provide the opportunity to access treatments before they are approved and can be an opportunity in some situations but there are also risks. Talk to your treating doctor and feel free to actively look for yourself.
We have put together a number of different services here, all related to finding clinical trials.
PLEASE NOTE – we are not recommending or advocating any of these services over any other – we are listing those we know of and think may be of interest.
Clinical studies in Sweden
RCC – Cancer Studies in Sweden
Cancer Studies in Sweden is a national database of current clinical studies in cancer care. The database only contains studies with ongoing recruitment of patients. The purpose of Cancer Studies in Sweden is to increase the number of patients participating in clinical cancer studies and to facilitate the inclusion of patients in appropriate studies.
Cancer studies in Sweden contribute to equal care and strengthen clinical cancer research.
Anyone can search the database, although it is primarily aimed at researchers and professionals in cancer care.
A patient wishing to participate in a research study usually has to meet specific criteria according to the purpose of the study. Patients should therefore always contact their treating physician for more information on what is required to participate in the study in question.
HiKS – Find Clinical Studies
At HiKS, you as a patient, relative and treating physician can search for clinical studies on drugs regardless of where in Sweden they are conducted and regardless of therapy area.
HiKS – Hitta Kliniska Studier (Find Clinical Studies) is an information service about the studies that are approved clinical trials in Sweden.
The service is run by Lif, the trade association for research-based pharmaceutical companies. The company responsible for the study is also responsible for ensuring that the information describing the study in HiKS is correct. Only studies that have regulatory approval to be conducted in Sweden are published in HiKS.
