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 main objective of this trial is to test the efficacy and safety of carboplatin chemotherapy and involved node radiotherapy in patients with stage IIA/B seminoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of the cyclocoagulation using High Intensity Focused Ulatrsound with the EYEOP1 device in glaucoma patients
A positive ergogenic effect of sodium citrate and caffeine ingestion in a short-term, high-intensity exercise task was shown by several studies. These studies were conducted with healthy, able-bodied subjects. The aim of the study is to investigate whether caffeine or sodium citrate ingestion could enhance performance in spinal cord injured wheelchair athletes. It is a double blind, placebo controlled and randomized study.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether psychotherapy (based on exposure techniques) is effective in the treatment of functional somatic symptoms (FSS)/Somatoform Disorders (as exemplified here in subjects with globus sensations in the throat).
Now a days the ultrasound is seen as a valid and reliable measurement tool to test the Pelvic Floor Muscle (PFM) movement (Sherburn, Murphy, Carroll, Allen, & Galea, 2005). The hypothesis is that the electromagnetic tracking system, TrakSTARTM, can measure the PFM movement in an equal or even more precise way. The TrakSTARTM will have the advantage to be used in measuring functional movements. In this Master thesis the hypothesis is to show a good reliability by trampoline jumping (physical activity).
This is a multi-centre, multi-national, prospective, observational study of Huntington's disease (HD) with a control group of volunteers to: - obtain natural history data on many HD mutation carriers and individuals who are part of an HD family - relate phenotypical characteristics (genetic modifiers / wet and dry biomarkers) - expedite identification and recruitment of participants for clinical trials - develop and validate sensitive and reliable outcome measures for detecting onset and change over the natural course of premanifest and manifest HD which may also be potential outcome measures for use in future clinical trials and clinical care - plan for future research studies
The pilot study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Canakinumab (ILARIS®) in subjects with proliferative diabetic retinopathy secondary to type 1 and 2 diabetes. Ten subjects will be enrolled to receive 150 mg Canakinumab (ILARIS®) by subcutaneous injection. Beginning on day 0, each subject will receive a subcutaneous injection of study drug every 8 weeks for 16 weeks, a total of 3 injections. All subjects will undergo regular follow-up assessments every 8 weeks through 24 weeks. Fluorescein angiography (FA) is repeated every 8 weeks. In case of progression of retinal neovascularization on FA panretinal laser photocoagulation is administered as rescue therapy. The primary outcome is the regression of retinal neovascularizations (NVE and NVD) in FA at 24 weeks. In addition to key secondary outcomes including regression of diabetic macular edema, change in best-corrected visual acuity, change in HbA1c levels and change in markers of systemic inflammation. Safety will be assessed by measurements of vital signs, clinical laboratory assessments, and the recording of adverse clinical events.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe, symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk by randomizing patients to either Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) or TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve® System. Single Arm: The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implementation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) at intermediate surgical risk with TAVI. This is a non-randomized phase of the pivotal clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to show that an augmentation with the DX Reinforcement Matrix from Arthrex is possible with the arthroscopic technique.
The purpose of this study is to assess the growth of infants fed with BabyNes System, compared to the World Health Organization Reference, during the first four months of life.
