There are about 9403 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.
This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance study of GMK Sphere cementless knee prosthesis.
The purpose of this study is to assess nivolumab plus relatlimab fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus nivolumab alone in participants with completely resected stage III-IV melanoma.
MANTRA is a prospective, multiple-arm, multi-center, global, post-market clinical follow-up study. The main objective is to monitor ongoing safety and performance of the CORCYM devices and accessories used for aortic, mitral and tricuspid valvular diseases in a real-world setting. Corcym S.r.l., is a medical device manufacturer with a broad product portfolio for cardiac surgeons, offering solutions for the treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve disease. The MANTRA Master Plan (Master Protocol) is intended as an overarching Umbrella Protocol that allows multiple sub-studies to be added, as needed. The Umbrella Master Protocol concept offers an excellent solution to provide post-marketing clinical follow-up information on the entire cardiac surgery heart valve portfolio of the sponsor in a common database, including corelab assessment of hemodynamic and structural performance, annular motion and Dynamics for one of the products. Currently, three sub-studies are planned: - MANTRA - Aortic Sub-Study - MANTRA - Mitral/Tricuspid Sub-Study (Excluding Memo 4D) - MANTRA - Memo 4D Sub-Study
Blood culture samples from bacteremia patients positive for Gram-negative bacteria will be tested for antibacterial susceptibility using Resistell Phenotech device. The results will be compared with current AST gold standard tests to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Resistell Phenotech device.
Starting from December 2019, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-COV-2) disease spread rapidly from China into the world, with about two Mio cases confirmed around the world. In Switzerland, more than 26'000 cases have been confirmed so far, and health authorities declared in March the needs for social isolation and have banned visits to hospitalized patients and to nursing home residents. Loneliness and isolation is a significant concern for the elderly patients as well as for their families that may significantly affect physical and mental health in both. SILVER aims to evaluate the role of programmed video calls with families: - on mood, anxiety, fear of death and pain perception in patients hospitalized or in nursing homes during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. - in relieving the familiar caregiver anxiety and fear of death of others - in relieving the professional caregiver anxiety. SILVER is an international study involving both acute, rehabilitation geriatric units and nursing homes; we will enroll all the patients present in the participating centers. Patients will be allowed to chose between video and phone calls, the following dimensions will be evaluated: - Delirium risk: using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) - Mood: using the 5-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) - Anxiety: using the Clinical Anxiety Scale (GAS). - Fear of death (self and others): using the Collett-Lester scale. In parallel, health professionals and family caregivers will be evaluated for anxiety at baseline and every week after intervention set-up by the Clinical Anxiety Scale (CAS). Family caregivers will also be evaluated with the fear of death scale (sub-scale fear of death of others). Finally, to evaluate the appreciation for video call communication in patients and caregivers we will use a Likert scale.
The aim of this study is to report and describe cardiac manifestations associated with IMD in a cohort of patients followed in a reference center for rare diseases (Lausanne University Hospital, CHUV) from 2017-2020.
This study will evaluate the potential placental transfer of ocrelizumab in women with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) or multiple sclerosis (MS) [in line with the locally approved indications] whose last dose of ocrelizumab was administered any time from 6 months before the last menstrual period (LMP) through to the first trimester (up to gestational week 13) of pregnancy, and the corresponding pharmacodynamic effects (B cell levels) in the infant.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the association between hemoglobin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-Hb) and the occurrence of secondary brain injury in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH-SBI) during the first 14 days after bleeding.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether, during a waiting period in an emergency department, the patient's participation in a modern art therapy session decreases the patient's level of anxiety and pain. As a secondary objective, this study aims to explore whether participation in a modern art therapy session is perceived positively by the patient. This objective will be assessed by both patient self-report and art therapist heteroreport. In this work, the investigators will therefore seek to demonstrate the potential positive impact of modern art therapy conducted during times of waiting for examination or results.
Meningiomas are known to be the most frequent intracranial neoplasms and account for approx. 25-33% of all intracranial tumours.Targeted radionuclide therapy with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, also called Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), has proven to be an effective treatment in metastatic intestinal neuroendocrine tumours and is currently used in advanced, recurrent or progressive meningiomas with promising results. In this study, the therapeutic index of a standard and newly developed radiolabelled somatostatin antagonist will be evaluated and compared in PRRT. In a second step, safety and efficacy of the latter will be assessed.
