There are about 9336 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 goal of this multicenter, observational, retrospective is to evaluate the standards of use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) in adult patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with a particular interest on phase of ITP (defined according to time when diagnosis of ITP is established in the medical records: newly diagnosed, 0-3 months; persistent, 3-12 months, and chronic, > 12 months), tolerability, safety, posology and remissions, outside controlled clinical trials. Secondary Objectives: To analyze the patient characteristics that could affect the choice of thrombopoietin receptor agonist for the treatment of ITP, considering specific clinical aspects (such as previous thromboembolic disease, bleeding, platelet count, surgical procedures, etc.). To evaluate the degree of adherence to international guidelines related to the use of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in regular clinical practice. Data will be collected through a retrospective chart review of patients with ITP who started TPO-RA treatment between January 2014 and December 2018.
The goal of this monocentric observational study involving acute hospitalised patients is to develop a classification algorithm for the detection of various movements parameters.
This is an observational (non-interventional) study, carried out in an outpatient setting, which involves a blood sampling. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the association between the EDIT-B® editing signature and early unipolar or bipolar differentiation. Results of this research may provide an aid to early diagnosis and guide clinical practice towards individualized treatment.
This was a retrospective, non-interventional, registry study based on secondary electronic medical record (EMR) data collected in Helsinki and Uusimaa hospital district (HUS data lake), hospital district of Southwest Finland (VSSHP data lake) and Pirkanmaa hospital district (PSHP data lake) as a part of their routine clinical practice. Social Insurance Institution of Finland (SII; reimbursed drug purchases) was utilized in this study to complement the medication data. The metastatic melanoma patients were stratified by first-line treatment and by hospital district.
This is a single centre, single dose, single-arm, open-label, palatability study. The aim of the present study is to investigate the palatability of the newly developed Tachipirina® 120 mg/5 mL oral suspension with strawberry flavour. The study will be conducted in paediatric volunteers that represent the target population for this product.
During two none subsequent natural menstrual cycles healthy female participants will be subjected every second day to blood sampling and 3D-ultrasound examinations. Together with four other key hormones the concentration of AMH (anti-Muellerian Hormone) will be measured in the serum.
The goal of this retrospective longitudinal observational study is to compare the effects of physical and mental performance as well as quality of life in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: Do very old patients benefit in a similar way from inpatient rehabilitation like younger patients? Data from about 2000 patients will be retrospectively analyzed. Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) were recorded on admission and discharge. Researchers will compare the age group 75 to 84 and 85 to 99 to see if physical and mental performance as well as quality of life will improve.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of training with a personal, portable laparoscopic endo-trainer (PLET) on residents' laparoscopic skills. All participants were randomised to either a home- or hospital-based PLET training group and surgical skill performance was assessed using five laparoscopic exercises. Endpoints consisted ofsubjective and objective assessment ratings as well as exercise time and qualitative data up to 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the difference in exercise time and secondary outcomes included performance scores as well as qualitative data.
The GLEAM study aims at assessing the potential of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for noninvasive glucose measurement.
The objective of this survey is to assess the knowledge of HCPs in relation to the recommended posology and biological monitoring for Exjade, based on the current locally valid Exjade educational materials (including the physician's reference checklist)
