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 objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of radium-223 dichloride in subjects with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2 negative) hormone receptor positive breast cancer with bone metastases treated with hormonal treatment background therapy
This study investigates the use of motivating/rewarding features in a computer based arm rehabilitation program. Half of the subjects will take part, besides receiving standard therapy, in a computer based program delivering a game like scenario with visual effects and monetary rewards in case of successful level completion, while the other half will take part in a similar program without visual effects or the possibility to earn money.
This study is a Phase III, double-masked, multicenter, randomized, sham injection-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lampalizumab administered by intravitreal injections in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 12-week, placebo-controlled multiple dose study will investigate the safety and tolerability of RO6885247 in adult and pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Background: The wound healing promoting effect of negative wound pressure therapies (NWPT) takes place at the wound foam interface. Implementation of bioactive substances at this site represents a major research area for the development of future NWPT devices. Methods: Wound healing kinetics of pressure ulcers treated by vacuum assisted closure devices with or without the implementation of a thin interface of poly-N-acetyl glucosamine nanofibers (sNAG) was studied in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
The overall aim of this project is to monitor everyday life activity of children with neurological disorders undergoing rehabilitation using wearable sensors capable of accurate and unobtrusive long-term measurement. Specific objectives: 1. To adapt the sensors for the use by children with neurological disorders. The focus lies on the exact positioning and the investigation of the needed amount of IMUs. 2. To validate the sensor data with collected video recordings and to develop specific algorithms to automatically extract specific movements and to analyze long-term sensor recordings. 3. To perform a cross-sectional study to assess intensity, task-specificity and duration of upper and lower limb activity during rehabilitation. There, we aim to gain objective information about levels and types of activity during rehabilitation in relation to age, gender and disorder. 4. To conduct a responsiveness study to assess whether or not the sensor output is able to highlight changes over time during rehabilitation. Therefore, at time point T=0 (shortly after admission to our center), participants are equipped with 3 inertial measurement units (1 at each wrist and 1 at the sternum). Additionally, a small wearable camera is mounted to the chest. The participants then return to their everyday life for 4 hours (no therapies, measurement period is in the evening). Afterwards, the equipment is removed again. To investigate responsiveness, the same protocol is being repeated 4 weeks later (time point T=1).
A prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability of selective laser trabeculoplasty vs. pattern laser trabeculoplasty in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
Sunbit is a new wearable UV dosimeter to measure solar radiation in real time. The purpose of this study is to track sun behavior of patients at high risk for skin cancer, to investigate the feasibility of this prototype in daily life and to investigate the technical accuracy of the Sunbit.
The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of molecular mechanisms in the development and progression of musculoskeletal tumors. These tumors do have in general unfavorable prognosis and conventional treatments (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy) could not enhance the prognosis of these patients during the last ten to fifteen years. Therefore the investigators chose a new way, as they try to identify markers on a genetic level, who ideally act as a basis to develop new treatment options.
