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 evaluation of Perfusion of free flaps in patients with moderate anaemia and possible reduction of the transfusion threshold. - Trial with surgical intervention
The primary objective is to compare the mechanical failure risks in the first year after treatment.
RA (rheumatoid arthritis) patients effectively treated weekly with SC (subcutaneous) Abatacept will be switched to IV (intravenous) Abatacept and restarted with SC Abatacept four after IV application. The investigators hypothesize that a switch from SC- to IV-abatacept and back in patients with low disease activity is safe and not associated with a worsening of the disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of trabectedin+DOXIL as a third-line chemotherapy regimen (treatment) in patients with platinum-sensitive advanced-relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who received 2 previous lines of platinum-based chemotherapy.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.5 mg in adult patients with visual impairment due to macular edema (ME).
The purpose of this interventional Phase IV study was to explore the ease of use of TIP and prevalence of microbial contamination of the T-326 Inhaler compared with TIS and colistimethate administered via nebuliser for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients chronically infected with P. aeruginosa. It was anticipated that the data from this study would provide clinicians with further guidance on the relative differences between the speed and ease of use of these treatments as well as useful information on the prevalence of microbial contamination of the inhalation devices in "real world" use.
The purpose of this study is to show that Nivolumab and/or Nivolumab in combination with Ipilimumab will extend progression free survival and overall survival compared to Ipilimumab alone.
There is increasing evidence of a role of EGFR, treatment with EGFR-inhibitors in anal cancer and synergies of EGFR-inhibitors with radiotherapy. Addition of the human anti-EGFR antibody Panitumumab to chemoradiotherapy seems therefore solidly justified. This trial investigates concurrent panitumumab/capecitabine/mitomycin concurrent to IMRT-radiotherapy. Treatment components used in this study have been selected on scientific rationale. The trial regimen should be feasible with acceptable toxicity and outcome similar to historic series.
To evaluate the performance and safety of the Cardioband Adjustable Annuloplasty System for repair of functional mitral regurgitation.
The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of secondary lactose intolerance in renal transplant recipients (RTR) with chronic norovirus infection. In the investigators cohort of 1000 renal transplant recipients (RTRs) in the University Hospital of Zurich, the investigators are currently aware of 10 patients with chronic norovirus infection, which was proven by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of recent stool samples, whereas chronic virus shedding is defined as more than two PCR positive samples in an interval of at least one month. Concomitant viral (other than norovirus), bacterial or parasitic (particularly Gardia lamblia) intestinal infections are excluded by negative stool cultures and PCR analyses, respectively. Main exclusion criterion for the present case series is a concomitant intestinal infection (other than norovirus) and primary lactose intolerance, which is previously excluded by absence of the CC genotype of the DNA variant -13910 T/C upstream in the LCT gene. After obtaining written and oral informed consent, the investigators perform a lactose hydrogen breath (LH2BT) test and a lactose tolerance test (LTT) in all eligible RTRs with proven chronic norovirus infection irrespective of current abdominal symptoms. The study population (N=10) is divided into two groups according to the gastrointestinal symptoms (asymptomatic versus symptomatic, such as chronic diarrhoea or diffuse abdominal discomfort). The investigators chose the cut-off three or more stools per day as indicative of diarrhoea for the purpose of this study. RTRs with otherwise unexplainable chronic diarrhoea but absent norovirus infection serve as control group (N=10).
