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.
About spider bites in Middle Europe, there are published only a dozen cases. The investigators suspect that they may be much more frequent than reflected by the literature analysis (but much less dangerous than thought by people). From June 1st 2011 to November 30st 2012 the investigators collect clinical data on patients treated for spider bites in Switzerland.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of QAX576 if patients with fistulizing Crohn's disease.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety of patients who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) during a live case or video-taped transmission as compared to those without procedure transmission.
This is a multi- center, open-label, dose finding, Phase Ib study to be conducted in two stages: a dose escalation part to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) safety and tolerability of concurrent administration of MEK162 and RAF265, followed by an expansion part to further assess the safety and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy of this oral combination within two separate patient populations: i) patients with advanced solid tumors harboring BRAFV600E mutations or ii) patients with advanced solid tumors harboring RAS mutations.
RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether higher per daily radiation therapy is equally as effective as standard per daily radiation therapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well an accelerated course of higher per daily radiation therapy with concomitant boost works compared to standard per daily radiation therapy with a sequential boost in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that was removed by surgery.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the Engager Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation System in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who are at high risk for surgical valve replacement.
This randomized, post-market clinical study is intended to evaluate the delivery and deployment of longer Zilver PTX stents (≥ 100 mm) compared to shorter Zilver PTX stents (≤80 mm) for treatment of lesions of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal artery.
The purpose of this study is to generate long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy data for AFQ056 in eligible adult patients with FXS who have participated in the CAFQ056A2212 core study and patients who have participated in the previous proof-of-concept study CAFQ056A2204.
The aim of this project is to demonstrate and validate the ionizing radiation free and non invasive assessment of small intestinal anatomy, content and function in healthy and disease by a newly developed combined proton (1H) and fluorine (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) framework. Meal induced and pathology related alterations in small intestinal motor activity, gas distribution and anatomy of healthy volunteers and patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) will be analyzed with this non invasive MRI approach. The multinuclear imaging framework consists of a 1H and 19F capable clinical 3T MRI system with standard 1H abdominal surface coils, a dual-channel transmit-receive abdominal 19F surface coil, fluorine labelled impermeable and biocompatible capsules for oral administration (19F capsule) and a 19F projection imaging sequence allowing for the non-invasive detection of the gastrointestinal positions of single and multiple ingested capsules in real time. Dedicated post-processing algorithms are applied to extract parameters of intestinal motor activity from the detected intraluminal capsule movements. The proposed unique imaging modality allows for the concurrent, non invasive and repeated analysis of important physiologic parameters of intestinal function together with detailed anatomical information and thus presents an ideal tool for the evaluation of the analyzed parameters as potential biomarkers in IBS. - Trial with medical device
In view of the manifold options for mono- and combination therapy that have now emerged for patients with pulmonary (arterial) hypertension (PH/PAH), controlled clinical trials can only provide part of the information needed for optimal management. In order to gather adequate data on PAH/PH treatment in routine clinical care, the ongoing COMPERA registry prospectively documents consecutive patients with newly initiated treatment of PAH/PAH since May 2007. The internet-based registry fulfills high quality standards through several measures (planned minimum centre contribution of at least 10 patients per year, automated plausibility checks of data at entry, queries, monitoring with source data verification in >50% of participating centers). It can be applied, among further purposes, for quality assurance: individual centers can confidentially compare their results with the combined outcome of other centers and the recommendations from guidelines. It is expected that the register contributes to optimization of specific drug therapy for PAH and PH. Since July 2013, also children of any age can be documented (COMPERA-KIDS).
