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 primary objective of this trial is to assesses the efficacy of tinlarebant in slowing the rate of growth of atrophic lesion(s) in adolescent subjects with STGD1
This double arm randomized study will compare 2 ventricular tachycardia ablation strategies: the standard strategy based on invasive substrate and VT mapping with 3D electro-anatomical system vs a tailored strategy which identifies targets based on pre-procedural CT-scan imaging. The primary endpoint will be procedure duration and secondary endpoints will include safety and efficacy criteria as well as medico-economic evaluation.
This study is to analyze whether the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin or the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra may improve postprandial hypoglycemia in subjects with prediabetes.
A pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center therapeutic study for patients age 4 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Niemann Pick disease type C (NPC). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of N-acetyl-L-leucine (IB1001) compared to standard of care.
Victims of trauma are often healthy individuals prior to the incident, but acquire numerous complications including sepsis and pulmonary complications and diminished quality of life after trauma. According to Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines, all severely injured trauma patients should receive supplemental oxygen. The objective of TRAUMOX2 is to compare the effect of a restrictive versus liberal oxygen strategy the first eight hours following trauma on the incidence of 30-day mortality and/or major respiratory complications (pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome) within 30 days (combined primary endpoint).
ACTIVATE-KidsT (AG348-C-022) is a multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with mitapivat compared with placebo in pediatric participants with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK deficiency) who are regularly receiving blood transfusions. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive either mitapivat or matching placebo. Randomization will be stratified by age (1 to < 6 years, 6 to < 12 years, 12 to < 18 years) and splenectomy status. Participants will be dosed by age and weight during a double-blind period consisting of an 8-week dose titration period followed by a 24-week fixed-dose period. Participants who complete the double-blind period will be eligible to receive mitapivat for up to 5 years in the open-label extension (OLE) period.
This observational study is conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the primary total shoulder arthroplasty with the Permedica's MIRAI Modular Shoulder Prosthesis System on the general population of patients who are about to undergo this surgery for every indication. Patients requiring a revision shoulder arthroplasty will not be enrolled. The effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of recovery of shoulder function and stability of the prosthetic implant. The incidence of complications, adverse and serious adverse events will also be studied. Additional study aim is to evaluate a medium/long term survival of the prosthesis. The duration of the study per single subject is 5 years.
Childhood experiences affect psychosocial well-being and mental health across the life course for better or worse. The aim of the present study is to investigate how adverse childhood experiences before the age of 18 impact psychological functioning in young adulthood, and whether social information processing and emotion regulation may mediate these associations.
Amblyopia is the most common developmental vision disorder in children, caused by abnormal visual experience in early life, especially a difference in refraction between the eyes, a misalignment of the eye axes, a combination of both. Besides a significant reduced visual acuity, the patients show deficits in 3D vision and functional vision impairment like reduced reading speed, selective attention or motor control skills. The gold standard treatment for amblyopia, occlusion therapy, can lead to relapses or residual amblyopia (i.e., amblyopia that persist into adulthood). The current study aims to test the efficacy of a novel home-based child-friendly rehabilitation program for amblyopia, Vivid Vision Home, involving playing serious videogames on a virtual reality (VR) headset at home. The VR training will be compared to standard care (wearing a spectacle correction) and to age-matched typically developing individuals. A cross-over design will be used so that each participant will receive both treatments (games, spectacles). There is a growing number of studies showing benefits of binocular stimulation for visual acuity and stereovision, but provided mainly by level III studies, with a need for rigorous level I or II studies, using more engaging therapies, to confirm or refute the efficacy of this approach as an adjunct or replacement for current amblyopia treatments. Embedding binocular stimulation in engaging, immersive serious games delivered on VR headsets at home, as implemented by Vivid Vision Home, can address this question.
The aim of this study is to provide robust data on the head-to-head comparison of the two ligands of the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) available in Switzerland for positron emission tomography (PET)-imaging, i.e. 68Ga-PSMA-11 und 18F-PSMA-1007.
