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 will evaluate the efficacy of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab and carboplatin and etoposide (CE) compared with placebo plus atezolizumab and CE in participants with chemotherapy-naive extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Eligible participants will be stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (0 vs. 1), LDH (</= upper limit of normal [ULN] vs. > ULN), and presence or history of brain metastasis (yes vs. no) and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatment regimens during induction phase: - Arm A: Tiragolumab plus atezolizumab plus CE - Arm B: Placebo plus atezolizumab plus CE Following the induction phase, participants will continue maintenance therapy with either atezolizumab plus tiragolumab (Arm A) or atezolizumab plus placebo (Arm B).
The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the Revie ⊕ intervention on the self-esteem of patients diagnosed with an advanced cancer. A pragmatic, two-arm parallel-group, waitlist randomized controlled trial is conducted. The study takes place in the oncology department of the University Hospitals of Geneva at 3 outpatient units.
Low energy availability (LEA) is a major problem in sports as athletes ingest often a lower amount of energy compared to their actual needs. The availability of energy is calculated based on their daily energy intake and the energy cost of the daily training sessions in relation to their fat-free mass. Based on this calculation, it is known how much energy will available for the body (beside the fuel for training) to keep it in optimal physiological functioning. It has been shown, that LEA occurs very often in female athletes, in endurance athletes as well as athletes in weight-sensitive sports (i.e. jockeys, combat sports, gymnastics, ballet). The purpose of this study was to investigate, whether LEA is a problem in wheelchair athletes as well.
The objective of this study is to estimate the effect size of a nursing discharge teaching intervention on multimorbid inpatients activation level, health confidence, readiness for hospital discharge, experience with discharge care and rate and time to 7-days readmission.
Medtronic is sponsoring the Micra AV Registry using the Micra AV system for continued surveillance of chronic atrioventricular synchronous pacing as intended, through the collection of data based on routine clinical care practice, following commercial release. The Micra AV Registry is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Registry (PSR) platform.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy plus sleep restriction (ACT) will be compared to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is the first line treatment for insomnia according to current guidelines. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of ACT, compared to CBT-I, for the improvement of sleep-related quality of life and insomnia severity.
Patients undergoing Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy will be randomized to receive or not the pudendal nerve block after the spinal anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with alpelisib in combination with nab-paclitaxel is safe and effective in subjects with advanced triple negative breast cancer (aTNBC) who carry either a PIK3CA mutation (Study Part A) or have PTEN loss (Study Part B1) or PTEN loss without PIK3CA mutation (Study Part B2)
Propionibacterium acnes is a pathogen commonly identified in postoperative shoulder infections. A recent study has shown that P. acnes is likely to be disseminated in the operating field from the subcutaneous layer by the manipulation of soft tissues by the surgeon and the instruments. Disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue seems to significantly reduce contamination of the operating field during primary shoulder surgery. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue compared to dissection with an electrosurgical unit on P. acnes contamination during primary shoulder surgery.
Employing imaginary pills could offer a new way of investigating underlying mechanisms of open label placebo (OLP) treatment by eliminating the physical treatment constituent (i.e., the pill itself). This can reveal the power of the purely psychological component of a placebo and gives insights into underlying mechanisms of placebo effects. The aim of the project is to assess possible effects of an imaginary pill in comparison to no treatment, and open label placebo treatment in subjects with test anxiety. Interventions (seven to three weeks before the exam) will be held online using a video Chat application such as zoom (https://zoom.us/) or skype (https://www.skype.com/de/) or will take place at the division of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, University of Basel (Missionsstrasse 62, 4055 Basel).
