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.
Evidence suggests that oxytocin has a neuroprotective role on a systemic and cellular level in the context of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The investigators therefore hypothesize that high levels of circulating oxytocin measured within the first 72 hours after symptom onset are associated with lower mortality and favorable outcome in acute ischemic stroke.
The present study was a descriptive, non-interventional, retrospective cohort study aimed at evaluating early data on adherence, persistence, and treatment patterns among patients receiving inclisiran and other lipid-lowering therapies (LLT) in a real-world setting in Germany. Analysis was carried out using the IQVIA™ LRx database.
This post-market registry aims to assess safety and performance of RefluxStop™ in the treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in standard of care procedures.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of direct oral anticoagulant drugs (DOAC), specifically apixaban and edoxaban, in patients with Child A or B liver cirrhosis (LC). The primary objective of this study is to verify the ability of apixaban and edoxaban to decrease in vivo thrombin generation in LC patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to either apixaban (Eliquis®) or edoxaban (Lixiana®) at a therapeutic dosage for 7 consecutive days. The results of this investigation will contribute to designing a prospective multicentre interventional study to investigate the efficacy of DOAC to improve clinical outcomes in patients with LC
In this study we aim to investigate safety and tolerability of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) adoptive cell therapy (ACT) incorporation in-vivo TIL expansion with ANV419 in patients with advanced melanoma
The aim of the present "OLFO-FOOD" clinical trial is to investigate, if olfactory stimulation impacts food choice, reference and calorie intake in humans with obesity assessed using a test buffet.
This study investigates the feasibility of an app based intervention, which uses questionnaires and personalized motivational messages to achieve change in physical activity and sedentary behaviour of cardiovascular patients. The questionnaires and messages are based on behaviour change theories, such as the transtheoretical model. The intervention will take place over eight weeks. One week before and during the last week, physical activity will be measured via accelerometers. A comprehensive questionnaire will be given before and at the end of the intervention and Feasibility measures will be evaluated at the end as well, including an optional qualitative interview with the participants.
The goal of this observational prospective cohort study is to learn about the pathophysiology of perioperative myocardial infarction/injury in high-risk patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. Participants will: - Wear wearable device (Basler Band) for up to seven days after the operation or until hospital discharge - Provide three blood samples. A venous specimen of blood (25 mL) will be collected preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 2. - Be contacted to answer a questionnaire one year after the surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the prevalence of Childbirth post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) and Childbirth post-traumatic stress symptom (CB-PTSS) in Switzerland, and to analyze the psychological, medical, and social factors linked with CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, whether they are antecedent factors or further consequences. The main questions it aims to answer are : - The prevalence of CB-PTSS and CB-PTSD in Switzerland, for both mothers and partners (Primary outcome) - The risk and protective factors of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS (Secondary outcome) - The impact of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS on the marital and co-parental adjustment and the bonding with the infant (Secondary outcome) - The role of the childbirth experience on the triggering of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including emotional and affective aspects (Secondary outcome) - The social and economic determinants of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including, for example, social support and religion (Secondary outcome) Participants will fill up surveys at four time points: - T1, during the third trimester of pregnancy - T2, at 6 to 12 weeks post-partum - T3, at 6 months post-partum - T4, at 12 months post-partum
Due to medical advances and quality of care, mortality in adult intensive care units (ICUs) has decreased significantly in recent years, leading to a significant increase in the number of patients with high rehabilitation needs on discharge from the ICU. A specific management by a multidisciplinary team has been set up since 2017 at the Geneva-ICU for long-stay patients (hospitalised ≥ 7 days). This study aim to assess whether an optimization of the nutritional therapy coupled with an early mobility during and after the ICU stay allows an improvement in the muscle function at hospital discharge compared to patients receiving the standard care.
