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.
It is hypothesized that performing VF measurements with a Virtual Reality headset using similar testing strategies as implemented in conventional perimeters, allow for a non-inferior quality in VF acquisitions. The results of this study will show if valid measurements of such devices in human subjects can be obtained. The primary endpoint of this study is the non-inferiority estimation quality of participant's mean defect (MD) measured in decibel (dB) between the head-mounted display and an OCTOPUS perimeter using the dynamic strategy (DS) for participants with normal or glaucomatous visual field. The MD is a clinical measure for the average loss of visual function calculated from the visual field of a participant.
This is an prospective observational study assessing the effect of vitamin B12 on the odds of developing sepsis in patients with infection confirmed by a positive culture result. The hypothesis is that patients with infection confirmed by positive cultures who develop sepsis have lower vitamin B12 levels than patients infection, confirmed by positive cultures, who do not develop sepsis.
This was a 64-week randomized, double-masked, multi-center, active-controlled, two-arm study in patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD) who have not previously received anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment.
Investigation of the effectiveness and acceptability and usability of a VR height exposure App in individuals with fear of heights.
Radiation applied to the preserved breast during radiotherapy treatment activates numerous molecular cascades in tumor bed adjacent cells causing an inflammatory state. During this process, pre-clinical studies demonstrated CD11b + and CD11b+cKit+cells mobilization in the blood. These cells are involved in numerous processes during tumor progression/control and metastases development. The expected results in clinical setting allow us to investigate the development of innovative therapeutic and monitoring strategies. The clinical repercussions would consist in identifying new predictive and prognostic targets in breast cancer.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a bilberry derived anthocyanin-rich extract in patients with ulcerative colitis. Two thirds of participants will receive the anthocyanin-rich extract, while one third will receive placebo, for 8 weeks of treatment.
The aim of the analysis is an evaluation of the current performance of the Swiss Trauma Registry (STR) with respect to providing a reliable basis for (scientific) investigations on the management of trauma patients in Switzerland. The current project tries to address this question by considering central aspects of completeness and by exemplifying the use of the registry for research questions. The aim is to identify potential shortcomings of the registry.
The purpose of this study is to quantify 2-year postoperative clinical and functional outcomes including side-to-side differences in gait function, balance, proprioception and muscle strength in patients treated by ACL repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation.
The aim is to investigate the mechanism by which galacto-oligosaccharide acutely increases iron absorption by using stable isotope appearance curves. This will allow the evaluation of changes in serum iron isotopes over the first few hours after administration of the iron supplement and provides information where and in what amount iron absorption takes place in the GI-tract.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of etrasimod on clinical remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
