Key information on clinical trials is accessible in the SNCTP (Swiss National Clinical Trials Portal). The portal is on the website www.kofam.ch.
Since 2014, the SNCTP has displayed information on all clinical trials held in Switzerland. The main purpose of the SNCTP is to enable interested persons, e.g. patients who would like to make themselves available for a study, to perform targeted searches for clinical trials. Besides trials in Switzerland, studies taking place in countries neighbouring Switzerland are also displayed.
The information is provided in English. Further information on clinical trials taking place in Switzerland is provided in one of the national languages.
It is possible to narrow the SNCTP search via specific filter functions, e.g. by specifying certain diseases or venues. For every clinical trial, it is stated whether research participants are required and whether the study has already been completed. The project managers’ contact details are also provided.
The portal also gives researchers a convenient overview of current research activity in any given area.
The portal thus makes a significant contribution to transparency in human research.
Relaunch of the SNCTP
As the technology underlying the SNCTP has come to the end of its product lifecycle, the research portal is being overhauled. The new system is scheduled to go live in the first quarter of 2025.
