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.
As a result of the implementation of Protocol Am3.0, the design and objective of the NEVO II trial were changed to focus on the safety follow-up of the 103 NEVO™ subjects. Although this trial started interventional, the remainder of the study will be observational. The objective of this prospective, observational study is to ensure the safety and the wellbeing of subjects treated with the NEVO™ SES.
This study is designed to compare two techniques for operative care of umbilical hernia in adults regarding wound complications, wound side fluid collections, recurrence rate, postoperative pain, duration of hospitalization and quality of life. The IPOM technique provides mesh positioning directly into the abdominal cavity onto the defect under laparoscopic control while in sublay position the mesh is placed directly behind the rectus muscle after small incision close to the belly button.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the implantation of an Ultrapro® Mesh as prevention of incisional hernia after elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. According to the literature these patients have an increased risk for an incisional hernia. By the implantation of an artificial mesh into the abdominal wall during the first abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the risk can be reduced dramatically. In small feasibility studies incisional hernia rates as low as 0% have been achieved. Patients scheduled for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair will be randomized into two groups, one receiving an onlay mesh, the other conventional wound closure with sutures.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride and trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether trabectedin is more effective than doxorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying the safety of trabectedin compared with doxorubicin hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
The purpose of this trial was to establish the safety, tolerability and PK of nilotinib in this population and to test the hypothesis that 6 months treatment with nilotinib will significantly reduce pulmonary artery resistance.
Sleep-wake disturbances (SWD) are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and affect the quality of life of affected patients. Rasagiline is a potent, highly selective, irreversible, second-generation, monoamine oxidase type-B (MAO-B) inhibitor with a 24h dopaminergic effect. It is well known that dopaminergic treatment closely interacts with SWD. This study aims to assess the effect of Rasagiline on SWD in PD patients. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study in clinical phase IV, 60 subjects will be treated with rasagiline 1mg po once daily or placebo over 8 weeks. The study is planned to be conducted in 6-9 Swiss centers. Questionaires will be used to assess SWDs: sleep disturbances (Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale, PDSS), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, ESS), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale, FSS), apathy (Apathy Evaluation Scale Self, AES-S), disability (Sheehan scale) and QoL in PD patients. - Trial with medicinal product
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of G-CSF on disease free survival and overall survival in aplastic anaemia patients who also receive ATG and Cyclosporin A.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of CP-690,550 in patients being treated for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This is an open label extension study available to patients who participated in one of the qualifying studies with CP-690,550 providing entry criteria is met.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Helium/Oxygen (He/O2) 78%/22% compared to a conventional Air/O2 mixture in reducing endotracheal intubation rate and mortality in patients with severe hypercapnic exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) during their index Intensive/Intermediate Care Unit (ICU) stay.
Primary Objective: - Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing major cardiovascular events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death) or unplanned cardiovascular hospitalization or death from any cause in patients with permanent Atrial Fibrillation [AF] and additional risk factors Secondary Objective: - Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing cardiovascular death This was an event-driven study where a common study end date [CSED] was to be determined by Steering Committee based on the number of events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death).
