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.
This is a phase 3, randomized, controlled study of IMC-F106C plus nivolumab compared to standard nivolumab regimens in HLA-A*02:01-positive participants with previously untreated advanced melanoma.
This project focuses on motor development, muscle growth and muscle activity. Using advanced, instrumented tests such as , the link between muscles and the movement characteristics will be studied. In addition, the evolution of these neuro-biomechanical determinants during the first year of life will be investigated. The examinations are planned for a group of high-risk infants (e.g. premature birth, cases of asphyxia, etc.) compared with a group of infants with typical development.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if lavender essential oil chest wraps relieve cough in infants with bronchiolitis compared to standard care. Furthermore, the researchers will evaluate if breathing difficulties, nighttime awakening and impact on parents will be improved by the lavender oil chest wraps. Infants will be randomized to receive standard care with the addition of lavender oil chest wraps or to receive standard care alone. The study will take place in two locations in Switzerland, at the Geneva University Hospital and the Fribourg Cantonal Hospital.
The present study seeks to assess differences in feasibility and acceptability of music therapy played live and listening to a recording thereof at the palliative care ward of the University Hospital Zurich. As a secondary objective the investigators aim to extend the limited findings on the putative effect of music therapy in palliative care populations derived from objective measures of human autonomic response combined with subjective psychological outcomes to support evidence-based medicine. The investigators will implement a commercially available tracker, the wristband 287-2 by Corsano, to investigate multiple simultaneous biomarkers of autonomic response to music therapy and a recording thereof, such as heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity and distal body temperature. To investigate subjective quality of life and psychological outcomes, the investigators will administer highly validated and widely used questionnaires, namely the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire 15 Palliative Care, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two Conditioned Open Label Placebos (COLP): COLP pill and COLP odor to reduce opioid intake for postoperative (thoracic and spinal surgery) pain management compared to the opioid only usual treatment (TAU).
INVISIBLE-1 aims to prospectively follow patients up to one year after ischemic stroke to: 1. Determine the cumulative incidence of occult cancer in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) and elevated D-dimer 2. Describe occult cancer characteristics and spontaneous course of occult cancer Methodology The investigators will include 370 stroke patients with elevated D-dimer (≥ 820 μg/L) at the time of stroke, suspicion of ESUS after initial workup and without known cancer. The investigators will perform a follow-up telephone interview at one year to assess the occurrence of a new cancer and characterize the course of the disease. Significance Determining the real incidence of occult cancer in high-risk patients will help support the implementation of screening trials in the future. Faster detection and treatment of occult cancers would significantly impact patient' outcomes by offering faster cancer treatment and optimal secondary stroke prevention.
This is a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter, global study to determine the efficacy and safety of Volrustomig (MEDI5752) + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed vs the investigator's choice of platinum + Pemetrexed or Nivolumab + Ipilimumab in participants with unresectable pleural mesothelioma.
This randomized controlled study is to investigate the effectiveness of VR headsets in reducing postoperative pain intensity among patients after having undergone thoracic surgical procedures.
This is a randomized pragmatic clinical trial fully embedded in the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Cohort to assess whether sNfL biomarker monitoring improves patient-relevant outcomes and care of patients with relapsing-remitting (RR)MS by either increasing the proportion of patients with no evidence of disease activity (EDA) or by improving patients' health-related quality of life.
In this study, the investigators seek to describe the normal 3D hip joint morphology in asymptomatic volunteers and compare it to various hip joint deformities. Asymptomatic volunteers will be asked to undergo a non-contrast MRI of the hip at 3 Tesla, utilizing a high-resolution morphologic 3D sequence (3D T2 DESS) that enables the segmentation of labrum and cartilage. 3D morphological parameters of the asymptomatic group will subsequently be compared with the 3D morphological parameters of patients with hip deformities, which were collected as part of a previous retrospective study.
