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.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the 3 selected dose regimens of padsevonil (PSL) administered concomitantly with up to 3 anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) compared with placebo for treatment of observable focal-onset seizures in subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy.
During the past century, major demographic changes have occurred in Europe which primarily affect the older age groups. According to the Swiss federal office of statistics, the number of senior citizens has tripled (from 5.8% to 18.0%) while the number of young adults (younger than 20 years old) has decreased from 40.7% to 20.1%. There is evidence that with increasing age, physical activity and fitness level decreases. Additionally to lower physical activity, natural aging results in a decrease of muscle strength and a modulation of afferent and efferent reflex pathways due to a slowing down of neuromuscular performance. As a consequence, there are multiple consequences on general health, disease and injury rates in the older population such as a higher risk of sustaining fall injuries. An intergenerational approach combining balance and strength promotion appears to possess great potential for fall-prevention, for satisfying physical, social and behavioral need of children and seniors as well as reducing health care costs due to increased inactivity in both age groups. No studies have examined the effects of intergenerational exercise and health programs.
The main objective of this explorative observational study is to investigate the pressures in infraglottic airway and the pharynx provided by THRIVE , using flows ranging from 1l/min to 80 l/min, in patients hospitalized for elective surgical procedure; to investigate the correlation between airway pressure and nasal oxygen flow.
WHO: 40 participants with a confirmed diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) able to engage in moderate physical activity. WHY: The purpose of this study is to evaluate two computerized brain training tools, which include light physical activity, to see if they can help improve cognitive functions, such as memory and attention, for patients with MS. WHAT: Complete a set of tests (physical and cognitive) at baseline, wear a Fitbit Flex device at home for the duration of the study, 3 supervised sessions for 4 weeks at UCSF, one visit for physical and cognitive tests at one week after the final supervised session, and one final visit 6 months after the final supervised session. WHERE: 20 participants at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences (675 Nelson Rising Lane, San Francisco, CA); 20 participants at Lausanne University Hospital (Rue du Bugnon 46, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland)
A study to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of oral lucerastat in adult subjects with Fabry disease
Trial investigates the benefits and harms of Levodopa /Carbidopa 100/25mg compared to placebo (given in addition to standardized rehabilitation based on the principles of motor learning) and whether there is an association with a patient-relevant enhancement of functional recovery in acute stroke patients. Study participants will be randomized 1:1.
In the present study, the rate and extent of hCG absorption will be compared between the two treatments in healthy women aged 20 to 45 years.
This study will compare DS-8201a to physician choice standard treatment. Participants must have HER2-low breast cancer that has been treated before. Participants' cancer: - Cannot be removed by an operation - Has spread to other parts of the body
"Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program" (ASSIP) is a brief psychotherapy intervention after suicide attempts in psychiatric patients. The study aims to analyse the efficacy in a controlled trial by comparing number of patients with suicide attempts in a control group with treatment as usual and an intervention group with treatment as usual and ASSIP intervention. Further, the study aims at indentifying electrophysiological, sociodempgraphical or smartphone-derived parameters for prediction of further suicide attempts.
The WIN Study is a prospective, interventional, multi-center, open-label premarket study designed to confirm the safety, performance and intended use of the WISE Cortical Strip (WCS) for CE certification purposes. Participants with documented diagnosis of epilepsy or brain tumor requiring intracranial surgery, who meet all eligibility criteria, will undergo IntraOperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) during a neurosurgical intervention with the WCS and a comparator device.
