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.
Move for your mind is a single blind, 3-arm randomized controlled clinical pilot trial. The study aims to test the effect of a weekly Dalcroze eurhythmics program (arm 1) and a home strength exercise program (arm 2) against control (no exercise) on the rate of falling, quality of life, gait performance and cognitive function. All groups receive vitamin D. In addition the study shall test the feasibility of the recruitment and the interventions in this target population. The study includes 60 seniors, age 65 and older, with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Participants are recruited by the memory clinic of City Hospital Waid. During the 12 months follow-up, participants will have 3 clinical visits (baseline, 6 and 12 month). Despite major efforts the target population is very difficult to recruit and adherence to treatment is low. We therefore decided to stop recruitment and to use this trial as a pilot trial for future clinical trials of the same topic.
This is a phase 3b single arm, open label, multicenter study describing the percentage of time pediatric participants with ITP have a platelet response while receiving romiplostim, defined as a platelet count ≥ 50 x 10^9/L in the absence of ITP rescue medications for the past 4 weeks.
In the treatment of patient with lymphoma the most common high-dose chemotherapy regimen used prior to autologous transplantation (ASCT) is the BEAM regimen. It consists of four chemotherapy drugs together (BCNU, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, melphalan), whose initial letters are grouped together for BEAM regimen. One of the most common organ damage this intensive treatment is caused by the drug BCNU; it involves a lung injury, which manifests itself in the months after ASCT with increasing shortness of breath and cough, and can result in pulmonary fibrosis. The drug bendamustine is used successfully in different lymphoma types, and its efficacy in lymphoma therapy is well documented. Moreover bendamustine doesn't cause lung injury. Initially experience with bendamustine instead of BCNU - in the so-called BeEAM scheme - shows that this scheme is quite effective and well tolerated, without lung injury. In BeEAM scheme therefore bendamustine replace the BCNU, while the other three drugs are administered in the same dosage and order. The aim of the present study conducted at four centers (Bern and Zurich in Switzerland, Vienna and Linz in Austria) is to compare these two high-dose chemotherapy schemas and to show that the BeEAM scheme causes significantly less lung injury than the BEAM regimen.
Low back pain (LBP) is a complex and common problem with major societal repercussions. Clinical evaluations, and especially functional assessments, are necessary for proper diagnosis and decisions on the most appropriate treatment. The assessment of lumbar kinematics has been frequently described. For instance, measures of range of motion (ROM), angular velocities and acceleration of the total lumbar spine (TLx) have demonstrated some differences between healthy subjects and LBP patients. However, recent evidence has suggested that models evaluating the TLx are insufficient. In fact, regional differences in kinematics have been described between the upper lumbar spine and the lower lumbar spine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in spinal kinematics between healthy subjects and LBP patients using a multi-segment model of the spine that allows regional analysis.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment with tamoxifen or a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) + goserelin + LEE011 prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with tamoxifen or a NSAI + goserelin + placebo in premenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer.
Medtronic , Inc. is sponsoring the World-wide Randomized Antibiotic Envelope Infection Prevention Trial (WRAP-IT), a randomized, prospective, multi-center, single blinded, post-market, interventional clinical study. This study will evaluate the ability of the TYRX™ envelope to reduce major Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) infections through 12-months post-procedure following CIED generator replacement, upgrade, revision, or de novo cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implant. Additionally, this large device study provides the unique opportunity to prospectively characterize the performance of Medtronic's lead monitoring features in subjects whose CIED system includes a transvenous right ventricular (RV) defibrillation lead. Finally, the WRAP-IT study will serve as a post-approval study for those geographies requiring a post-approval study of the TYRX™ envelope.
This is an observational study to develop new hypothesis regarding the dynamic and safety of switching from natalizumab to fingolimod: - Comparison of disease activity (clinical and MRI) during the year after change of therapy in comparison to the year before change - Dynamic of onset of disease activity after having stopped treatment with natalizumab - Change of immunological parameters during treatment change from natalizumab to fingolimod in comparison to clinical and MRI measures
BIOLUX P-III is a prospective, international, multi-centre, postmarket all-comers registry to collect clinical performance data on the Passeo-18 Lux paclitaxel releasing balloon catheter in the treatment of atherosclerotic disease of the infrainguinal arteries.
The purpose of this study is to determine how appropriate and practically is the EQ-5D questionnaire in use on patients with carpal tunnel syndrome undergoing surgery along the change of quality of life.
The REDUCE-TE Pilot study is an international, multicenter, prospective, single arm study to compare the AlCath Flux eXtra Gold ablation catheter regarding the prevention of new subclinical cerebral thromboembolic lesions after Pulmonary Vein Isolation to historical data from the literature.
