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.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy in terms of CNS-specific PFS of the combination of standard systemic treatment plus SRS vs. standard systemic treatment alone in patients with newly diagnosed and untreated (except for surgery) asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC. This proposed randomised phase III clinical study addresses one of the most controversial issues in the current approach to patients with brain mets: the timing of SRS in patients eligible for systemic immune checkpoint inhibition or targeted therapy in order to guide therapeutic options as to what strategy allows the best compromise between best survival and best QoL.
This is a two part Phase IIa/b multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group dose-ranging study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin, and dapagliflozin monotherapy versus placebo in participants with cirrhosis with features of portal hypertension.
This study is to examine the circadian phase-shifting effects of daylight and physical activity (primary endpoint: shift in dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO)) as well as their effects on sleep the ensuing night and analyzes how different spectral characteristics of daylight and physical activity affect the biological clock and sleep. There are two types of interventions in a within-between study plan: - Within participants: light conditions will be varied during daytime in three 7-hour light exposure protocols (usual office lighting, natural daylight, natural daylight with "blue"-light filtering glasses). - Between participants: physical activity levels (rest vs. 4 hours of moderate activity, i.e., hiking) will be varied. Eligible volunteers are invited to partake in the three-week study schedule, including three experimental visits and in-between ambulatory sleep-wake and light exposure tracking. On study intake, participants are randomly assigned to either the 'hike' or 'rest' activity subgroup. The 'resting subgroup' will be allowed to study, read, etc. during the experimental conditions, whereas the 'hiking subgroup' will have 4 hours of scheduled moderate physical activity during each LE condition starting 3 hours after waking up. Following the screening procedure and an adaptation night to screen for sleep disorders, eligible participants will be matched with a 'partner'. One will be assigned to the rest (A), the other to the hiking (B) subgroup. LE protocols within each subgroup are identical and participants from each pair will undergo all light conditions on the same day to minimize variability due to e.g., weather conditions.
This study will improve the understanding of the cerebral mechanisms that underlie the control of auditory selective attention and evaluate the potential of neuromodulation to enhance neural attention control as a possible way to overcome hearing impairment. First, electroencephalography (EEG) will be applied to identify neural marker of auditory attention in individuals with hearing loss (HL), tinnitus (TI) and normal hearing (NH). Afterwards, the importance of the identified markers for attention control will be tested using non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and neurofeedback (NF).
The purpose of this extension study is to collect long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability data on remibrutinib in a selected group of participants with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who previously completed the treatment phase of remibrutinib preceding Phase 3 studies. This study will also fulfill the Novartis commitment to provide post-trial access to participants who have completed the preceding Phase 3 studies, where applicable.
This study is open to adults with advanced cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder. This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful or no treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 907828 helps people with cancer in the biliary tract, pancreas, lung, or bladder. BI 907828 is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. All participants take BI 907828 as a tablet once every 3 weeks. Participants may continue to take BI 907828 as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. They visit the study site regularly. At the study site, doctors regularly check the size of the tumour and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Randomized controlled trial reporting the pain levels and pain control/reduction of children at the age of 6-15 undergoing surgical procedures by using virtual reality gaming (VR) compared to nitrous oxide. Therefore, 50 patients in each treatment group are recruited, resulting in 100 children altogether. The pain levels and pain control/reduction is measured by the standard anesthesia protocol normally used when nitrous oxide is applied and questionnaires that are administered to the patients at baseline and two weeks after surgery including both the primary and secondary outcome.
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (MK-4280A) with physician's choice chemotherapy of bendamustine or gemcitabine in participants with PD-(L)1-refractory, relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin Lymphoma. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab. The primary study hypotheses are that coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab is superior to physician's choice chemotherapy with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABX464 given at 25 or 50 mg QD in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies [corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)] and/or advanced therapies [biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors].
To date, two devices to measure nitric oxide lung diffusing capacity (DLNO) are commercially available in Europe. Previous research has shown systematic between-device differences in lung diffusing capacity outcomes in healthy people (Radtke et al. ERJ Open Res. 2021 Sep 13;7(3)). The extent and magnitude of between-device differences in people with lung function impairment and ventilation inhomogeneities is unknown.
