There are about 9297 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 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 is an observational (non-interventional) prospective study, carried out in drug-naïve outpatients who start a treatment with escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline or quetiapine. Five blood samples are collected (i.e. before initiating the drug, and then after 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment). It does not affect the choice or the treatment dose. The primary objective of this study is to measure the association between the EDIT-B® editing signature and response to pharmacological treatment in drug-naïve patients. Results of this research could provide an aid to early diagnosis, optimize pharmacological treatment and guide clinical practice towards individualized treatment.
The goal of this observational study, including patients with Multiple Sclerosis, patients with other neuroinflammatory diseases and healthy controls, is to determine the predictive value of retinal markers in predicting disease progression. Participants complete a questionnaire and undergo various non-invasive retinal routine clinical examinations.
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.
The present study, OBPM_Calfree2024, with N = 85 participants minimum over 1 visit (lasting around 1h), has been designed to evaluate the performances and safety of the Aktiia.product-G2C that doesn't require any calibrations, as compared against double auscultation for BP reference measurements, and finger pulse oximeter for pulse rate reference measurements, for a cohort of subjects characterized by a wide variety of phenotypes.
This study investigates on the effect of two different operative techniques to treat abdominal wall hernias. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the eTEP (Extended totally extraperitoneal repair) technique leads to a better outcome than the IPOM (Intraperitoneal onlay mesh) technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: - pain after the operation - rate of complications - rate of recurrence and reoperations - quality of life. Participants will: Either be operated using the eTEP or the IPOM technique. Be followed up either in person or via email / phone call at day 1, day 7, day 14, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years after the surgery to asses the above-stated main and some more outcomes.
This study aims to examine the correlation and agreement of regional and global measurements of ventricular function in the apical 4 chamber and subcostal 4 chamber view. Additionally, we will explore limitations of the technology and explore the effect of left lateral positioning.
Despite multimodal therapy, patients with esophageal cancer have poor prognosis with 5-year overall survival around 25%. Considering tumor-related death as main reason for high mortality rate in those patients, treatment-related cardio-pulmonary toxicities could also play a role in this regard. Online adaptive radiotherapy offers the possibility for daily re-planning and therefore helps radiation oncologists to better spare the organs at risk and reduce radiation-induced toxicity. Tha aim of ARTEC is to assess the pulmonary toxicity in patients with esophageal cancer treated with online adaptive radiotherapy.
Evaluation of ultra low dose protocols and Iomeron 400 contrast in PCD-CT
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.
