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 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) pandemic has resulted in more than 3.8 billion registered tests, 275 million positive cases, and 5 million deaths worldwide. Early and regular testing has been an important pillar of secondary prevention since the beginning. However, this pandemic has also fostered solutions in the form of e telemedicine with enormously increased applicability. The question of whether telemedically supervised testing with SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Tests is non-inferior to the same tests being carried out by trained personnel in test centers is still unanswered. With this study, the investigators aim to compare and evaluate the reliability and sampling quality of telemedically guided self-performed rapid tests for professional use compared to professional sampling by healthcare personnel. Our hypothesis is that, applying a strict standard operating procedure (SOP, attached), guided oropharyngeal + nasal (OP+N) self-sampling (GSS) is non-inferior to nasopharyngeal (NP) or OP+N sampling performed by health care professionals (HCP), and that guided OP+N sampling is superior to unsupervised OP+N self-sampling (USS).
This clinical study, funded by the company Dentsply Sirona, is being carried out to see if the newly developed tooth implant "OmniTaper EV" is safe, effective and functions as intended when replacing a lost or removed tooth. The OmniTaper EV implant is a further development of existing dental implants. It is made of titanium, a metal that is well tolerated by the human body, which has been successfully used in dental implants for more than 40 years. All components used in this study are available on the market, are CE-marked and will be used according to intended use and approved instructions. The study involves at 11 planned clinic visits including follow-up visits 6 months and annually until 5 years after installation of the permanent crown. after over a period of about five and a half years. The treatment method and healing period may vary depending on the individual case and treatment plan and additional visits may therefore need to be scheduled. The visits and procedures are the same as standard of care and no procedures will be done just for purpose of research. The study aims to recruit about 137 men and women from six clinics across Europe (Germany, UK and Switzerland) and participants can only receive one study implant each. Participation is entirely voluntary and participants can choose to withdraw from the study at any time, without giving a reason. The decision to decline or withdraw participation will not affect participants future treatment or care
This is a multinational non-interventional study based on newly collected data to assess demographics, disease, and treatment pattern of patients with chronic Heart Failure (HF) in a two-cohort design: one cohort will receive first prescription of empagliflozin as routine therapy for HF, the other cohort will receive HF therapy with drugs with another mechanism of action. Treatment of HF according to routine practice is determined by the physician independent of the participation of the patient in this non-interventional study.
This is a phase I/II multicenter, open-label umbrella platform study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational agents with pembrolizumab, plus chemotherapy or lenvatinib, for the treatment of participants with advanced esophageal cancer who have failed 1 prior line of therapy and have not been previously exposed to programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1)/ programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) based treatment. With protocol amendment 5 (effective: 17-November-2023), enrollment in study arms "Pembrolizumab plus MK-4830 plus Chemotherapy" and "Pembrolizumab plus MK-4830 plus lenvatinib" is discontinued.
Disease progression is typical for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Standard platinum-based chemotherapy offers limited efficacy and an unfavorable safety profile.There is an urgent need for more effective and tolerable therapies for patients with EGFRm NSCLC who have exhausted available targeted therapies. Clinical evidence suggest that patritumab deruxtecan constitutes a promising investigational therapy for patients with EGFRm NSCLC.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacodynamics of ELX/TEZ/IVA in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) with at least 1 non-F508del ELX/TEZ/IVA-responsive CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate relatlimab in combination with nivolumab, administered as a fixed-dose combination (nivolumab-relatlimab FDC, also referred to as BMS-986213) for the treatment of non-microsatellite instability high (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) participants who failed at least 1 but no more than 4 prior lines of therapy for metastatic disease.
This study is open to adults with Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs). People who have a form of PF-ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) can join the study. If they already take nintedanib, they can continue treatment throughout the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1015550 helps people with PF-ILD. Participants are put into 3 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in 2 groups take different doses of BI 1015550 as tablets twice a day. Participants in the placebo group take placebo tablets twice a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1015550 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for up to two and a half years. During the first year, they visit the study site 10 times. Afterwards, they visit the study site every 3 months. The doctors regularly test participants' lung function. The results of the lung function tests are compared between the groups. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
This study is open to adults with a lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). People can join the study if they are 40 years or older. If they already take nintedanib or pirfenidone for their IPF, they can continue treatment throughout the study.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 794 in adult participants and to determine the optimal biological active dose (OBD), at or below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with MTD 1 as the maximum tolerated starting dose and MTD 2 as the maximum tolerated target dose.
