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.
In this study, the investigators pose the question which influence the opioid circuit has on positive valent situations in dreams.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the efficacy of gemcitabine is comparable with the efficacy of the standard chemotherapy with vinorelbine for mobilization of autologous stem cells in myeloma patients
This study aims at validating the accuracy of the new indirect calorimeter (Q-NRG, COSMED, Italy), developed for the ICALIC multicenter study. The validation of accuracy will only be conducted in Geneva center. The measurements made with the new calorimeter will be compared to the measurements by the mixing chamber method using a mass spectrometer (MAX300-LG, Extrel, USA) for gas composition analysis.
The purpose of this prospective single center study is to investigate if a developed program is more accurate than the anesthesia tape ("Anästhesie-Lineal"). For this study 1000 patients are required to collect anonymized data (length, weight, age, anesthesia material used during anesthesia) for achieving a power of 80% during statistical analysis. The main hypothesis ist that the program has a better accuracy than the anesthesia tape ("Anästhesie-Lineal").
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether valproic acid in combination with fear memory reactivation is useful to enhance treatment stability of exposure therapy for specific phobia.
Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial infection. It can lead to severe stomach problems, including stomach cancer. Researchers want to look at samples of the bacteria. These H. pylori strains will be taken from chronically infected people. They want to identify the genetic and epigenetic differences in H. pylori strains. This could help predict which people who get infected with the bacteria will get stomach cancer. This could lead to the cancer being detected earlier. It could also mean less people get stomach cancer. Objectives: To study genetic variations of H. pylori strains based on samples from chronically infected people. To identify the features of strains that might lead to severe stomach problems or stomach cancer. Eligibility: People ages 30-70 years who need an upper endoscopy or who were recently diagnosed with stomach cancer Design: Participants will be screened by the doctor who does their procedure and a study nurse. Participants who have endoscopy will have ~6 biopsies removed. These are tissue samples. They are about the size of a grain of rice. Participants will allow the study team to access reports from their stomach exam. Participants with stomach cancer will donate some of the tissue that will be removed during their clinical care. They will allow the study team to access reports of their surgery. They will also allow them to access the microscope slides of their stomach.
The MADIT S-ICD trial was designed to evaluate if subjects with a prior myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus and a relatively preserved ejection fraction of 36-50% will have a survival benefit from receiving a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) when compared to those receiving conventional medical therapy. The trial enrollment was stopped in 2018 due to lower than expected enrollment, all subjects enrolled at that time were followed for approximately 5 years.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and device performance of the Edwards Tricuspid Transcatheter Repair System in patients with clinically significant, symptomatic, tricuspid regurgitation who are at high surgical risk for standard tricuspid repair/replacement.
This study will assess the effects of adalimumab treatment in moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) patients in the real world setting. The objectives of this study are to estimate the effectiveness of adalimumab treatment on disease severity, to estimate the impact of adalimumab treatment on patients' quality of life, psychological effect, work productivity and healthcare resource utilization and to describe treatment practices over the study period.
Postoperative wound healing complications following preoperative radiotherapy represent a severe problem in the treatment of malignant soft tissue tumors, and are reported to be 34% and more. The literature discusses intensely the advantages and disadvantages of this multimodal treatment concept and there are different opinions. The Canadian prospective randomized NCIC SR2 trial showed increased wound complication rates in the study arm receiving preoperative radiation. The Sarcoma Center Zurich pursues mainly this treatment concept and the results shall now be analysed and published. The approach is to show that not only the complication rates are comparable to international bench marks, but also the (still intermediate time) local control rates.
