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 designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The study will last up to 3 years. Participants who complete the 3-year study may continue to receive mirikizumab until it is (outside of this study) in their country or until they meet other discontinuation criteria.
Subjective and objective evaluation of the efficacy and tolerability of preservative-free "Ectoin® Eye Spray - Colloidal" and comparison of the efficacy and tolerability between "Ectoin® Eye Spray - Colloidal" and Tears Again® in patients with mild-moderate dry eye disease
This is a prospective randomized study whose aim is to compare the efficacy of the permanent thoracic catheter (Pleur-X) versus chemical pleurodesis in videothoracoscopy (VATS) in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion at the first diagnosis.Patients with malignant pleural effusion for whom there is indication of surgery and who agree to participate in the study will be randomized 1: 1 in the Pleur-X arm (arm 1) or in the chemical pleurodesis arm (arm 2). The arm 1 provides for the installation of a permanent drainage under local anesthesia while the arm 2 provides a pleurodesis with talc in VATS under general anesthesia. Both procedures are standard of care.
Study aim : To compare a novel strategy of lesion preparation with noncompliant balloons before implantation of BVS. Hypothesis: Predilatation with non-compliant balloons could facilitate optimal deployment of BVS. By achieving good scaffold apposition a need for post-dilatation could be significantly reduced. This is expected to result in better short- and long-term outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mirikizumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response to, loss of response, or intolerant to conventional or biologic therapy for UC.
The iPCD Cohort is an international cohort that assembles available retrospective datasets and prospectively newly collected clinical and diagnostic data from patients suffering from primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) worldwide, to answer pertinent questions on clinical phenotype, disease severity, prognosis and effect of treatments in patients with this rare multiorgan disease.
This is a prospective, multi-center, blinded feasibility study. The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of the detection of tumor DNA of a variety of tumors in peripheral blood using a novel process for the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
This study will investigate the utility of biomarker-based triage for study participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without prior systemic therapy. Study participants within groups defined by a biomarker-based classifier (gene expression profile [GEP] and tumor mutational burden [TMB]) will be randomized to receive pembrolizumab in combination with quavonlimab (MK-1308), favezelimab (MK-4280), or lenvatinib. The primary hypotheses are as follows: In participants receiving pembrolizumab in combination with either quavonlimab, favezelimab, or lenvatinib, the Objective Response Rate (ORR) will be 1) greater than 5% among participants with low GEP and low TMB, 2) greater than 20% among participants with low GEP and high TMB, 3) greater than 20% among participants with high GEP and low TMB, and 4) greater than 45% among participants with high GEP and high TMB.
The present study has been designed to evaluate the effect of three doses of trazodone (20, 60 and 140 mg), in comparison to placebo, on the QT/QTc interval of healthy volunteers. Trazodone oral drops 6% formulation has been selected in order to evaluate the three doses using the same formulation, because the lowest available strength for the tablet formulations is 50 mg. According to the E14 guideline on the evaluation of QT/QTc interval prolongation and proarrhythmic potential of antiarrhytmic drugs, a negative control (placebo) and a positive control (moxifloxacin) will also be assessed.
It has been demonstrated that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange used during preoxygenation for emergency surgery is at least equally effective as preoxygenation compared to standard tight fitting mask. Data from a recent study indicates that Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange might decrease the risk of clinically relevant desaturation below 93% of arterial oxygen saturation. The limitations with our previous study is that it was done only during office hours (Mon-Friday 8 am to 4 pm) and that the power to detect the occurrence of desaturation was too low. Based on the above, the aim is now to conduct a clinical international multicenter study 24/7 with 450 patients and with a simplified protocol that allows the study to be done 24/7. This study is done with the aim of evaluation before implementing this novel technique of preoxygenation into clinical practice. The general purpose of this project is to compare a the preoxygenation technique based on Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange with traditional preoxygenation with a tight fitting mask during rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation in patients undergoing emergency surgery.
