doctoral candidate(s) (defending their doctoral dissertations)
You can take a look at the guidelines in the links below. I think your sentence refers to candidates who need to defend their doctoral dissertations publically in order to be awarded their doctorates. So they are still candidates.

Karin and Folke Nettelblad (Folia Textproduktion HB)
: The term clearly indicates that they have already defended their theses and received their degrees.

Ph.Ds
I think this refers to people who have completed a Ph.D -- hence disputerade in the past tense.
The Swedes express this by saying 'disputerade', literally people who have defended their doctoral theses in public. However, in English I believe we do not express it like that - we just say they are Ph.Ds.
