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.
TLD-1 is a novel liposomal formulation of doxorubicin (PEG surface) that compared favorably to conventional liposomal formulations of doxorubicin including Caelyx® in preclinical in vivo models. Particle features including size, charge distribution, lipid composition and drug release add up to a considerably altered particle behavior compared to Caelyx®, potentially explaining the lack of hand-foot-syndrome in respective animal models. Preclinical evaluation confirmed TLD-1 to be a promising new and innovative formulation of doxorubicin with promising activity and good tolerability.
The GlucoTab® system is a computerized decision support system built of an android based front-end user interface and a backend server including the REACTION algorithm. GlucoTab® is able to process blood glucose data and physiological confounders of glycaemia. Subsequently, GlucoTab® provides patient-specific basal, bolus, and correction insulin doses together with visualization and documentation of relevant data. The GlucoTab® system was found capable to keep hospitalized diabetic patients in the recommended target range without increasing the risk for hypoglycaemic events. Insulin pharmacokinetic is a critical confounder of glycaemic variability and the main determinant of an algorithm-based decision support-system. GlucoTab® is intended for being used with a basal/bolus insulin regimen. Up to date, feasibility data are limited to the use of insulin glargine. Insulin degludec, an ultra-long acting basal insulin is characterized by a stable pharmacokinetic profile a half-life of ~25 hours. It was found equally effective to insulin glargine with respect to glycaemic control, while the incidence of (nocturnal) hypoglycaemia was smaller in patients treated with insulin degludec. Within the present study, insulin glargine will be replaced by insulin degludec, which is not yet approved for dose titration with GlucoTab®. In the present study, 15 non-critically ill T2DM patients, who were hospitalized at the University Clinic of Neurosurgery for various reasons and require insulin treatment will be recruited. Patients will be treated with insulin Tresiba and insulin Novorapid. For a maximum duration of 21 days, GlucoTab® will calculate the required insulin doses for each patient, depending on fasting plasma glucose and postprandial glucose measurements during the day. After the calculated Insulin dose has been approved by the physician, the nursing staff will give the dose to the respective patient. The present study will analyse the efficacy of GlucoTab® for glycaemic management in T2DM patients using insulin degludec.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and serum concentrations of a human monoclonal antibody, VRC-HIVMAB075-00-AB (VRC07-523LS), administered in multiple doses and routes to healthy, HIV-uninfected adults.
SENTICOL III is large prospective multicenter international randomized study designed to validate the Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) mapping technique in early cervical cancer. This "validation study" will compare the outcome of patients with negative SLN (experimental arm) vs patients with negative SLN + Pelvic Lymph Node dissection (PLN)(reference arm). There will be a "quality assurance" program which will be developed in participating centers with detailed requirements in terms of surgeons' qualifications, pathology qualification, SLN ultrastaging, standardization of the procedure, etc. as well as respect of the "safety algorithm".
This is an open-label, multicenter, basket trial Phase II study to evaluate the antitumor activity of simlukafusp alfa in combination with atezolizumab in participants with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. Currently the focus is on participants with Head and Neck, oesophageal and cervical cancers with confirmed squamous cell carcinoma histology type.
Among the most promising interventions targeting both cognitive and functional decline, is Exercise. However, evidence regarding exercise interventions among seniors with cognitive impairment are inconclusive, likely due to challenges of recruitment and adherence. Alternatively, seniors with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), who are not yet meeting objective criteria of cognitive impairment, but have been shown to have twice the conversion rate to dementia compared with healthy seniors, are more likely to be motivated to participate and adhere to exercise interventions. Thus, exercise interventions in seniors with SCD may provide a window of opportunity for early prevention of dementia and falls. The investigators aim to test the effect of a group exercise (multi-task Jaques-Dalcroze Eurhythmics) and a simple home strength exercise program on change of cognitive function and the rate of falling among seniors with SCD.
The investigators conduct a micro-randomized trial to test main effects and moderators of three different intervention components of Ally, a mHealth intervention to promote physical activity that is offered to customers of a large Swiss health insurance. Interventions include the use of different incentive strategies, a weekly planning intervention and daily message prompts to support self-regulation. The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) as well as principles from behavioral economics were used to guide the development of interventions. Further, sensor data is collected in order to enable prediction of latent contextual variables. These data can be used to build prediction models for the user's state of receptivity, i.e. points in time where the user is able and/or willing to receive, process and utilize the support provided. The results of this study enable the evidence-based development of a just-in-time adaptive intervention for physical activity.
The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical and patient-centered outcomes of non-surgical mechanical debridement with adjunctive repeated diode laser application (test) in comparison with conventional surgical treatment and adjunctive systemic antibiotics (control), for treatment of peri-implantitis lesions, following an observation period of one year.
The purpose of this observational study lies in the analysis of a treat-and-extend injection scheme with intravitreal aflibercept (i.e. injection into the eye), as applied in routine practice in previously untreated patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the clinical performance of the investigational device. To that end, for each measure and the in-vivo repeatability will be quantified, as well as the mean measurement deviation with respect to the current gold standard device. As a secondary objective of the study, raw measurement data will be collected, to allow for improvements of existing algorithms, development of additional measure and and for retrospective analysis.
