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 purpose of this study is to determine objective response rate (ORR), lasting at least 4 months (ORR4), with brentuximab vedotin in participants with cluster of differentiation antigen 30 positive (CD30+) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma [mycosis fungoides (MF) and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) ]compared to that achieved with therapy in the control arm.
The purpose of the study is to compare clearance and removal rates of phosphate, ß2-microglobulin (ß2-m) and leptin and albumin loss with different dialyser membranes during post-dilution online hemodiafiltration.
Trial with medicinal products Recent studies revealed that radiation-based procedures in patients may lead to DNA double-strand breaks in human blood lymphocytes. Additionally, ex vivo studies with human blood lymphocytes have shown a protective effect of antioxidant agents which have been described to decrease the number of DNA double-strand breaks. This study represents a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, single center, and placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial which analyzes the capability of antioxidant agents to decrease the number of DNA double-strand breaks in human blood lymphocytes in patients undergoing radiation-based cardiac examinations (30 patients with high-dose radiation exposure, 30 patients with low-dose radiation exposure, and 30 subjects without radiation exposure). A protective effect of antioxidant drugs in patients undergoing radiation-based examinations could therefore change patient management and would provide an important clinical impact.
Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer is a severe type of skin necrosis (skin infarction) which occurs in long-term hypertensive subjects. Calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy) is a severe type of skin necrosis (skin infarction) which occurs in subjects with end-stage kidney disease or after kidney transplantation.
The aim of this study is to assess the oocyte yield of infertile women with suspected or known poor ovarian reserve (POR) undergoing a GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF with Merional® starting either with a low (150 IU) or a high dose (450 IU) and adding 100mg of CC (Serophene®) in the early follicular phase of the stimulation (day 3 to 7). To date no RCT has been conducted to compare the reproductive outcome of patients with POR as defined by the ESHRE Bologna criteria after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with HMG in an GnRH antagonist protocol using low doses versus high doses of HMG and adding CC versus placebo. We hypothesize that adding 100 mg of CC on day 3-7 to a HMG antagonist protocol will lead to an additional increment of endogenous GT thus increasing the oocytes yield after controlled ovarian stimulation due to higher endogenous gonadotropin secretion.
The goal of this trial is to evaluate zinc citrate, a zinc compound with promising sensory properties and a high zinc content, as an alternative zinc compound to be used for supplementation or food fortification. The bioavailability of zinc citrate given as a supplement to young Swiss adults will be assessed and compared to the bioavailability of the commonly used zinc compounds zinc gluconate and zinc oxide.
This trial will provide long-term safety, efficacy and tolerability of ACZ885 in CAPS patients that completed the CACZ885D2307 study
The objective of the present investigator-initiated mono-center trial to be performed at the Department of Neurology of the University Hospital Zurich is a detailed characterization of the effects of prolonged-release fampridine on walking function of 50-70 patients with MS. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with cross-over design, changes of essential gait elements such as stability, coordination, correct loading, posture or endurance in addition to walking speed after treatment with prolonged-release fampridine will be investigated using a comprehensive kinematic gait analysis protocol. This protocol comprises outcome parameters ranging from very specific and sensitive biomechanical measures to clinically meaningful indicators of improved ambulatory function. Kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic gait parameters will be assessed during treadmill walking (primary outcome parameters). Changes in overground walking capacity will be investigated by means of different functional walking tests (e.g. six minute walk test). Furthermore, the patient's perception of the effects of the treatment on walking function will be evaluated by a standardized questionnaire. Changes of global ambulatory activity will be assessed (Actimeter) indicating a successful translation of improved gait (sub-)functions due to prolonged-release fampridine treatment into everyday life. The study will last for a period of 18 weeks, excluding the screening period. Based on the mechanism of action, the investigators hypothesize that treatment with prolonged-release fampridine will not only improve walking speed, but also clinically more meaningful features of walking function in patients with MS. - Trial with medicinal product
