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.
A first in man clinical trial to asses the the use of am image guided robotic system to safely and effectively create a minimally invasive access tunnel to the middle ear cavity to allow access to the round window for cochlear implant electrode insertion.
Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: 1. Supraclavicular group: supraclavicular brachial plexus block performed with the aid of ultrasound; 2. Retroclavicular group: retroclavicular brachial plexus block performed with the aid of ultrasound.
The purpose of this study is to assess long-term safety data of GED-0301 for a period of up to 208 weeks in adult subjects (i.e., ≥ 18 years of age) who participated in the core Phase 3 GED-0301-CD-002 and GED-0301-CD-003 studies and adolescent subjects (i.e., 12 to 17 years of age) who participated in the core Phase 3 GED-0301-CD-003 study. Although all subjects will receive active treatment, this study is double-blinded for the entire 208 weeks for the purpose of preserving the blind of the subject's treatment allocation in the initial, core Phase 3 GED-0301 study. The GED-0301-CD-003 trial was not initiated; see detailed description.
The purpose of this trial is to test if the combination of enzalutamide and metformin in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer CRPC progressing on androgen deprivation therapy ADT is more effective compared to enzalutamide alone. The half of the patients will receive the experimental treatment combination, enzalutamide and metformin, while the other half will receive enzalutamide alone.
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that COPD patients with bronchial hypersecretion have increased risk of acute exacerbations. FREE ASPIRE is an electro-medical device which removes bronchopulmonary secretions noninvasively, without using a suction catheter and without generating airway pressure. AIM: To compare FREE ASPIRE activity with the traditional treatment using PEP-bottle in the clearance of bronchial secretions in COPD patients METHODS: Forty severe and very severe COPD patients with mucus and reduced cough will be evaluated. Group comparison will be made between Intervention group using VAKÜM system (Free Aspire®), and Control group using traditional treatment with PEP-bottle over 10 daily sessions (20 minutes twice a day). Primary outcomes are changes in arterial blood gases exchanges, in perceived dyspnea and in symptom of bronchial encumbrance. EXPECTED RESULTS: A higher significant reduction of the perceived dyspnea and of perceived bronchial encumbrance is supposed in the Intervention group. Additional benefits among the secondary outcomes are also hypothesized in the same group.
Evaluation of electrical impedance tomography to non-invasively monitor stroke volume when compared to reference measurements performed via right heart thermodilution
The study is being done to test the safety of a cancer drug called larotrectinib in children. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer. The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of larotrectinib is safe for children, how the drug is absorbed and changed by their bodies and how well the cancer responds to the drug. The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with larotrectininb.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an exposure to light in the morning has a positive influence on self-chosen exercise intensity on a bicycle ergometer in overweight and obese patients.
The purpose of this Post Market Observational Study is to monitor the effect of the Axium® SCS System in the management of chronic pain following surgical lumbar discectomy in subjects whom are routinely scheduled for treatment with the Axium® SCS System.
To assess whether HR-ARM (High resolution Anorectal Manometry) performed in the more naturalistic / physiological upright, seated position on a commode provides a more valid assessment of anorectal function and simulated defecation than the same test performed in the standard, left lateral position
