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 study is to evaluate oxytocin levels in response to MDMA administration as compared to placebo in patients with diabetes insipidus and healthy volunteers.
Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is a neurogenetic condition associated with a high risk of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia spectrum disorders. This population is characterized by a specific neurocognitive profile and atypical brain development. Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant used in the treatment of attention deficit with/without hyperactivity (ADHD). Although ADHD is one of the most important co-morbidities in 22q11DS, affecting 35-45% of patients, to date only two studies have focused on quantifying the efficacy of this treatment in this population. The objective of this study is to quantify the improvement in cognitive performance as well as the differences in brain connectivity associated with the methylphenidate molecule in a population at risk of cognitive impairment and the development of schizophrenia.
There is no specific therapy for acute kidney injury. It is presumed that supportive measures improve the care and outcome of patients with acute kidney injury. The investigators hypothesize that the implementation of a bundle of supportive measures adapted to patients undergoing major surgery reduces the occurrence of AKI. This randomized prospective multicenter trial is needed to investigator whether the implementation of the bundle of measures is effective to prevent AKI in high risk patients undergoing major surgery.
This is a multicenter open label phase II trial in patients with previously treated Marginal Zone Lymphomas. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib. Twenty-four patients are expected to be enrolled and treated every 28 days with acalabrutinib and tafasitamab for 24 cycles. The study consists of two parts, which are performed sequentially. The first part is a safety run-in to evaluate the safety data once 6 patients (representing the 25% of the total cohort) have completed the first cycle of treatment. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will provide an independent assessment of this evaluation. The second part starts after the outcome of this evaluation and will include the remaining 18 patients. The 6 patients of the safety run-in phase will be considered for the final evaluation of the study. Between 11 - 13 weeks, patients showing partial or complete response (PR, CR) will continue treatment, while patients showing stable disease (SD) will discontinue it. However, patients in SD who benefit from therapy may continue to be treated, after agreement between the Investigator and the Sponsor. Patients who complete the 24 cycles of treatment will enter the follow-up phase up to 3 years from patient's last study treatment dose (about 5 years from treatment start). Patients who discontinue treatment before cycle 24 for any reason will be followed for up to 3 years (every 6 months for the first year and yearly for the second and third year) from the patient's last study treatment dose. .
The primary objective of the study is to do translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the CISS and PWES questionnaire in French. No available translation exist in French. In the first part of the study, the investigators will use clinical guidelines for translation and cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaire (Beaton and al).The content validity will be evaluated also in this first step. In the second part of the study the French version of CISS and PWES (F-CISS and F-PWES) will be validated. Different psychometric properties (internal consistency, test retest reliability, construct validity, floor and ceiling effects) will be study. The investigators use the recommendation of COSMIN (COnsensus- based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) group.
This study will measure the efficacy of hypnosis on pain after a major abdominal surgery. The aim is to further improve comfort and rehabilitation of patients after surgery, beyond the usual early recovery after surgery (ERAS) enhancement protocols. Patients will be randomised (1:2) to the standard of care regarding pain management and rehabilitation, as part of the ERAS protocol, vs. ERAS + an additional hypnosis intervention. In this group, hospitalised patients are given 3 hypnosis sessions targeting analgesia between postoperative day 1 to 12. The study will collect outcomes about pain and its burden, sleep quality, appetite, mobilisation and mood. Secondary outcomes also include use of pain medication and length of hospital stay.
Background: Many people think that people with mental disorders might be dangerous or unpredictable. These patients face various sources of disadvantages and experience discrimination on job interviews, in education, and housing. Mental health-related stigma (MHS) occurs not only within the public community, it is a growing issue among professionals as well. Aim: The investigators designed a prospective, observational, multi-centre, international study of 35 European countries to investigate the MHS among medical specialists and trainees in the field of general adult and child and adolescent psychiatry. Methods: An internet-based, anonymous survey will measure the stigmatizing attitude by using the local version of the Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care Providers. Presentation of the Results: The results of the research will be published in an international peer-reviewed journal. Furthermore, the research team will present the results at national and international conferences.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the long-term safety of BIVV001 in previously treated subjects with hemophilia A Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy of BIVV001 as a prophylaxis treatment. - To evaluate the efficacy of BIVV001 in the treatment of bleeding episodes. - To evaluate BIVV001 consumption for prevention and treatment of bleeding episodes. - To evaluate the effect of BIVV001 prophylaxis on joint health outcomes. - To evaluate the effect of BIVV001 prophylaxis on Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIVV001 treatment. - To assess the PK of BIVV001 based on the one stage activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and two-stage chromogenic FVIII activity assays (only applicable to Arm B). - To evaluate the efficacy of BIVV001 for perioperative management
Single center, single arm pilot trial to test the feasibility, safety and efficacy of NeoTIL-ACT combined with low-dose irradiation (LDI) in patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic solid tumors. The trial is based on lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by LDI, and then ACT utilizing ex vivo expanded TIL, enriched for tumor antigen specificity (NeoTIL), in combination with high dose Interleukin-2 (IL-2) (optional, depending on patient's tolerance). LDI will be administered once to metastatic lesions using tomotherapy.
The investigators aim to determine the immune status of the employees of the cantonal police of Bern against SARS-CoV-2 over a period of 1 year, and to investigate the risk profile of the study participants and their risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in their working and private environments, as well as to evaluate the use of personal protective equipment at potential exposure instances.
