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.
TRICS-III is an international, multi-centre, open-label randomized controlled trial of two commonly used transfusion strategies in high risk patients having cardiac surgery using a non-inferiority trial design.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginitis in women of childbearing age. Women with symptomatic BV may present with malodorous discharge that is off-white, thin, and homogenous and has a fishy smell especially after intercourse. It is of importance to treat women with BV, as this condition is associated with serious risks, such as an increased risk of preterm birth in pregnant women, and particular vulnerability to the acquisition of sexually transmitted disease (STD). The pathophysiology of BV consists of changes in the microbiologic composition of the vaginal flora. The treatment of choice for BV is oral metronidazole for 7 days. Although the available antibiotic therapies produce good results in the short term, symptomatic BV persists or recurs at 3 months in up to 50% to 70% of patients, with long-term recurrence approaching 85%. An alternative treatment option may be a vaginal acid gel which aims to optimize the vaginal milieu. The aim of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of Gynofit® vaginal gel (lactic acid and glycogen) compared to oral metronidazole in the treatment of BV.
This study is a prospective observational cohort study. The study will be conducted in routine clinical practice settings. It is planned to enroll 1000 patients with metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) who have been previously treated with other approved treatments for metastatic disease and for whom a decision has been made by the physician to treat with regorafenib according to local health authority approved label. It is the aim of this observational cohort study to further characterize safety and effectiveness of regorafenib in routine clinical practice setting. Healthcare resource utilization in the routine provision of care is becoming increasingly important from a health economics and outcomes research perspective. Therefore, another aim of this observational cohort study is to capture healthcare resource associated with the management of treatment emergent adverse events in the real world setting. The primary objective of this study is to further characterize safety of regorafenib use in routine clinical practice settings. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of regorafenib in routine clinical practice settings as measured by Overall Survival (OS), Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Disease control rate (DCR). Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Data will be collected in applicable countries.
The purpose of this study is to show that Nivolumab will improve progression free survival in subjects with strongly Stage IV or Recurrent PD-L1+ non-small cell lung cancer when compared to chemotherapy
This trial is an exploratory study in order to determine whether the ingestion of one type of protein (milk protein/CHO/Fat) vs.placebo (CHO/Fat) 2 hours before bed time results in the extension of the post-prandial window of anabolism during the night by increasing whole body protein balance as well as muscle protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR).
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder which is common enough to be a significant public health problem (affects 1 in 740 boys between ages 0-14), but uncommon enough to have a sufficient number of patients from a single institution to perform a definitive prospective study comparing the results of current treatments. The present study will establish a database of prospectively identified patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) Disease and collect information regarding their presentation, treatment, and outcomes in the course of receiving currently available treatments. This study seeks to compare the outcomes of current treatments in the management of different age groups (ages 1-6, 6-8, 8-11, >11) of patients with Perthes disease at two- and five-year followup and at skeletal maturity. For each age group, two to three common treatment regimens currently used by practicing pediatric orthopaedic surgeons will be compared. The intervention a patient receives is determined through physician treatment expertise, and is not pre-determined by the study.
The purpose of the Trevo® Retriever Registry is to collect real world performance data of the Trevo Retriever which is intended to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke.
Background: Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder in comparison to no-treatment controls. Instead of creating more and more new overall treatment-packets within a medical meta-model, a complementary approach to investigate clinical research designs may lie into the understanding of already effective psychotherapies. Treatment manuals and protocols allow a relatively high degree of freedom of therapists' behaviors on how to implement the overall treatment manuals. There is a lack of systematical knowledge of how therapists have to customize these overall protocols. The present design experimentally examines 3 types of conducting a 15 session time-limited cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol and its relation to the therapists' protocol adherence and treatment efficacy. Methods/design: This trial investigates 3 different types of how to customize a well-introduced CBT-protocol using dyadic peer tutoring methodology (primings). The individuals with GAD are randomly assigned to 3 priming conditions (resource priming vs. supportive resource priming vs. adherence priming). Participants' treatment allocation is performed randomly, therapist's assignment to the peer tutoring partner and the priming condition is based on mutual agreement. Treatment outcomes are assessed at following levels: Observer based in-session outcomes, post-session outcomes from session 1 to 15, treatment outcome at post assessment and at 6-months follow-up assessments.
The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcome data for commercially available Zimmer Trabecular Metal Total Ankle implants used in primary or revision total ankle arthroplasty. The assessment will include implant survivorship and clinical performance measured by pain and function, quality of life data, radiographic parameters and survivorship.
Quantitative information on the biomechanical properties of the ecto-cervix in mid-pregnancy will be compared between women with term vs. preterm delivery. We aim to demonstrate that biomechanical data (ASP and CCI) might complement morphological data (CL) to improve prediction of preterm delivery. It is expected that women with preterm delivery will show stronger weakening of cervical tissue. Aspiration (ASP) and cervical CCI (cervical consistency index) measurements are performed at mid-pregnancy: detection at this time point is useful for therapy and biomechanical modifications are already significant so to enable differentiation by biomechanical measurements (ASP and CCI).
