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 performed to analyze various aspects of biofilms on ureteral stents in a longterm setting.
This 3-part study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an oral treatment, BCX7353, in preventing angioedema attacks in subjects with hereditary angioedema (HAE). In Part 1 of the study, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive oral BCX7353 or placebo for 4 weeks. Assuming successful completion of Part 1, additional subjects will be randomized in Part 2 to one of 2 lower doses of BCX7353 or placebo. Part 3 will enroll additional subjects into one of three doses of BCX7353 or placebo. The study will compare the number of acute attacks in each treatment group, as well as a number of other clinical and pharmacologic outcomes, and the safety and tolerability of each dose of BCX7353 compared to placebo.
A study to evaluate the safety of Nivolumab given in combination with Ipilimumab in patients with advanced cancers. The initial group will enroll patients with newly diagnosed Stage 4 or non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.
Iodinated contrast media have been causally linked to acute kidney injury known as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which is the consequence of CM-induced local renal ischemia and direct toxic effects. Conestat alfa (recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor) has been shown to decrease renal ischemic damage in experimental models of renal ischemia. The Recombinant Human C1 Esterase Inhibitor in the Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy in High-risk Subjects (PROTECT) Study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind single-center trial that will assess the effect of prophylactic administration of Conestat alfa on the degree of acute kidney injury subjects undergoing elective coronary angiography. Patient with an estimated glomerular filtration rate <=50 ml/min/1.73 m2 and at least one additional risk factor for CIN will be enrolled and randomly assigned to 1) Conestat alfa at 50 U/kg given as intravenous injection immediately before and 4 hours after coronary angiography or 2) placebo (sodium chloride). All patients will receive standard intravenous hydration with isotonic saline. Surrogate markers of kidney injury will be assessed over a 48 hours time period. Patients will be followed for cardiovascular and renal events over 12 weeks. The primary outcome measure is peak change in urinary Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin within 48 hours after elective coronary angiography.
This study investigates in patients whose primary complaint is either neck pain and/or a voice disorder , if there are any correlations between subjective neck and voice symptoms according to Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Voice Handicap Index (VHI). NDI and VHI questionnaire results for voice disordered patients will be retrieved from the data base of the Department of Phoniatrics and Speech Pathology, University Hospital Zurich. Neck pain patient questionnaire data will be retrieved from an ongoing study. The agreement between subjective neck handicap (NDI) and voice handicap (VHI) will be statistically analysed.
Novel, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) target selected players in the coagulation cascade as the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran and the factor Xa-inhibitors apixaban and rivaroxaban. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared complication of NOAC treatment (NOAC-ICH). Outcome of NOAC-ICH can be devastating and is a major cause of death and disability. There is no proven treatment for NOAC-ICH. Hematoma expansion (HE) is associated with unfavorable outcome. Tranexamic acid (TA) is an anti-fibrinolytic drug that is used in a number of bleeding conditions other than ICH.
There are insufficient data on the safety and efficacy of edoxaban plus antiplatelet therapy in subjects with atrial fibrillation (AF) following percutaneous intervention (PCI) with stenting. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and to explore the efficacy of an edoxaban-based antithrombotic regimen versus a vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-based antithrombotic regimen in subjects with AF following PCI with stent placement. Bleeding is a central safety outcome in cardiovascular clinical trials, especially for antithrombotic strategies and invasive procedures.
In this study the investigators want to test the hypotheses that, serotonergic neuromodulation increases perilesional neuroplasticity, leading to improved behavioural outcomes through a more efficient allocation of functional resources, greater structural reorganization and less remapping via alternative circuits.
In this randomized, double blind, unbalanced three way crossover trial, four lipid emulsions will be assessed on three study days. The lipid emulsions (LEs) have been engineered so that they differ in terms of acid stability, lipid droplet size and fat redispersibility. The investigators hypothesize that the gastric emptying of fat will differ between the lipid emulsions. An optional study day (visit 5) will be used to assess the degree of lipolysis in Lipid emulsion 5 (LE5) and Lipid emulsion 6 (LE6). This study day is a randomized, single blinded study.
This study looked at how effective the study drug (tepotinib) was at stopping the growth and spread of lung cancer. This study also measures a number of other things including safety of the study drug and the side effects, how body processes the study drug, or how the study drug affects your quality of life. The study also has an optional pharmacogenetic research part. Pharmacogenetic research is an important way to try to understand the role of genetics in human disease and how genes impact the effectiveness of drugs, because differences in genes can change the way a person responds to a particular drug.
