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.
Research project in which biological material is sampled and health-related medical data is collected. In addition, already existing health-related medical data are used for further research. Coded data are used.
Research project in which biological material is sampled and health-related personal data is further used and collected. Coded data are used.
Post-market registry on ACURATE TA™ Transapical Aortic Bioprosthesis and ACURATE TA™ Delivery System implantation in patients presenting severe symptomatic aortic stenosis to provide safety surveillance of the device.
The aim of this study is to elucidate whether GLP-1 analogues influence not only appetite but also thirst perception. It is hypothesized that GLP-1 analogues reduce fluid intake in healthy volunteers compared to Placebo.
Vitamin D deficiency (defined as 25(OH)-vitamin D serum level <50 nmol/l) is cured with supplementation by mouth. National guidelines recommend the administration of 800 IU cholecalciferol daily for an effective treatment, especially during the winter (poor sun exposition). Commercially available pharmaceutical forms are liquid in Switzerland (drops) and solid forms in Germany (tablets and capsules). Because therapeutic range of vitamin D3 is wide and toxicity is seldom reached, even after the consumption of 200'000 IU, and because the administration of 8 drops daily is inconvenient, weekly and monthly administrations of the cumulative amount (i.e., 5'600 IU weekly or 24'000 IU monthly) have been investigated. Both administration schedules are therapeutic equivalent. The study aims to investigate which form (liquid or solid) and which schedule (weekly or monthly) procure the highest adherence behavior with outpatients under polypharmacy i.e., with 4 or more medications daily. The investigators will use commercially available Swiss and German products.
This study investigates whether there is a difference in the BLS skills in first year medical students directly after training and three months later, when randomly assigned to self-learning versus instructor-led training courses.
In this study investigators will investigate whether early treatment of allograft rejection, as detected by urine CXCL10-monitoring, improves outcomes in renal allograft recipients.
This study aims at investigating the effects of tablet-based puzzle video games on cognitive function and emotional well-being. This study extends preliminary findings of studies looking at short-term benefits of playing puzzle video games to a long-term intervention in healthy older adults and patients suffering from cognitive impairment due to mild cognitive impairment or acquired brain injury. To this end, the investigators compare two interventions: A tablet-based puzzle video games experimental intervention and a control intervention tablet newspaper-reading control intervention. This study uses a 16-week, assessor blinded, randomized crossover design with two phases of treatment and three waves of measurement. Participants are randomly allocated to either the experimental or control intervention for 8 weeks, then interventions are crossed over. Both groups receive both interventions in opposite order. At three time points (pre-, mid- and post-test) higher cognitive function and emotional well-being are tested using standardised neuropsychological tests and questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate itacitinib or placebo in combination with corticosteroids as first-line treatment of participants with Grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolmab alone or the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab versus placebo, is safe and effective for delaying or preventing recurrence of cancer in participants who have experienced partial or entire removal of a kidney.
