There are about 9329 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Switzerland. 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.
The actual follow-up of patients undergoing definite radiotherapy for prostate cancer includes regular measurements of prostate specific antigen (PSA). Successful radiotherapy is critically dependent on local control of cancer; however, PSA takes 2-3 years to reach a nadir after therapy. We aim at collecting blood/urine after prostate massage before, and after radiotherapy in order to define new markers predicting local control earlier and more precisely than PSA.
AMBER is a multicentre, single-arm phase II trial. The protocol treatment consists of of sotorasib plus lenvatinib, as a second-line treatment. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of sotorasib plus lenvatinib, in terms of objective response rate, for patients with KRASG12C-mutant, metastatic NSCLC.
Shoulder orthoses are an essential component of both, postoperative care as well as a range of conservative treatment concepts, and thus influence the functional outcome of a wide spectrum of glenohumeral pathologies. Therefore it is important to look at them in greater detail. A new concept, designed by DJO Global in the "Ultrasling Quadrant®" orthosis now immobilizes only the glenohumeral joint, while giving the possibility of elbow movement. It also allows multiple settings concerning the position of the glenohumeral joint like internal rotation as well as neutral or external rotation. It is yet to be seen how these changes will influence the outcome of therapy as well as how they will change the patient's perception of the orthosis and its wearing comfort. Therefore it is planned to be compared to another multifunctional shoulder brace already established on the domestic and international market, the BledsoeARC® brace. The primary objective is to assess if one of the investigated shoulder braces Ultrasling Quadrant® or Bledsoe Arc® is perceived by patients who received shoulder surgery as superior in terms of higher wearing comfort when worn during the post-operative immobilization period.
This is a platform study evaluating the safety and efficacy of multiple novel investigational products (IPs) that target unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma in participants who have failed standard treatment.
This study examines whether the use of Hybrid-ESD+ with LiftUp (Injection solution) results in a higher en bloc and/or R0 rate for non pedunculated colorectal adenomas between 2 and 3 cm than described in the literature for conventional EMR.
The study is a single-center, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the NexGen TM Augmentation Patella. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.
MVX-ONCO-2 is a patient-specific, cell-based, active immunotherapy where the participant's immune response to their own tumor cells is stimulated and/or increased. MVX-ONCO-2 is composed of a cell suspension of irradiated autologous tumor cells and two capsules loaded with allogenic genetically modified cells releasing an immunomodulator, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). MVX-ONCO-2 is an evolution of MVX-ONCO-1, which was approved for clinical investigation under the same category in a phase I and a phase II clinical trials. The objectives of the trial are to investigate the safety, tolerability and signals of efficacy of MVX-ONCO-2 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
Romiplostim for low platelets caused by lomustine chemotherapy in patients with first recurrence (growing back) of a brain tumor, glioblastoma that is MGMT methylated. Lomustine is an anticancer drug often used to treat glioblastoma that grows back after initial treatment. This anticancer drug can cause side effects. The most frequent and potentially serious side effect of all is lowering of the blood platelets. Low platelets can cause bleedings in the the stomach and intestines, the skin, the brain and other systems and tissues. Low platelets are also the main cause of delaying or prematurely (ending treatment before the planned end) stopping chemotherapy. There is no treatment for low platelets except platelet transfusions. Romiplostim is a drug that stimulates the production of platelets in the bone marrow. It is an approved drug in USA, Europe, Australia and Switzerland for a special type of blood disease in which the body breaks down its own blood platelets. The purpose of the study is to start the treatment with romiplostim once low platelets are diagnosed in order to restore the platelet count and to prevent the platelet count from dropping again during the lomustine treatment.
Cutaneous Lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease with a prevalence of 14.6 - 73.2/100,000, predominantly in women in mid adulthood. Cutaneous lesions occur in about 75-80% of patients with systemic lupus erythematodes.These lesions unfortunately and invariably lead to significant scarring and postinflammatory hypo- and hyperpigmentation. Several studies have reported that laser treatments in patients with CLE have a positive effect and safety. However, only few case reports exist about the effect of ablative lasers such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) lasers in CLE scarring. Although no study shows a flare-up of CLE after laser treatment of the scars, many physicians are afraid of treating these often stigmatizing scars. Considering the huge psychological impact of facial scaring on quality of life, it is essential to explore and assess the value of already well-established treatment options for the management of scars also in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematodes. Hereby the study seeks the subjective and objective improvement of the CLE-scars after treatment with fractional Er:YAG laser compared to control (untreated) areas.
Testing the efficacy of the Jalosome® Soothing gel in 2 or 3 grade radiodermatitis healing in oncological patients. The investigators would like to know also the efficacy of the device on quality of life and pain.
