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 purpose of this study is to demonstrate that two investigational treatment regimens have the potential to result in a superior visual acuity improvement as compared to a ranibizumab pro re nata (PRN=as needed) treatment regimen.
The purpose is to investigate daptomycin pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients with suspected or verified bacteremia with Gram-positive cocci undergoing combined continuous hemodiafiltration at a filtration rate of 35ml/kg/h and to establish a dose recommendation for continuous hemodiafiltration at a filtrate rate of 35ml/kg/h.
The purpose of the study is to compare the survival of participants who receive chemotherapy and ramucirumab versus chemotherapy alone as second line treatment for NSCLC after prior first line platinum-based chemotherapy.
First in Man Trial with the drug eluting absorbable metal scaffold. To assess safety
This is a pivotal phase III study, mandatory to seek approval by regulatory authorities for BI 10773 as an anti-diabetic agent compared to an active comparator in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and insufficient glycaemic control.
The ULTIMA study is intended to prove that in patients with pulmonary embolism and a right ventricular end diastolic diameter to left ventricular end diastolic diameter ratio ≥1 (RV/LV ratio) will benefit from treatment with ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis (rt-PA) as compared to unfractionated heparin anticoagulation. Specifically, at 24 hours the RV/LV ratio will be significantly reduced in the treatment arm compared to the control arm.
Background: Retrospective analyses of long-term BASKET findings identified patients with large drug-eluting stents (DES) (>2.5mm Stents) as patients at risk for late cardiac death/nonfatal myocardial infarction. In view of new DES with absorbable polymers and new bare metal stents BMS) with thin struts and biocompatible polymers, BP-II will be launched to test their comparative clinical safety up to 12 years if treated with an aspirin/prasugrel combination, since prasugrel halved stent thrombosis rates compared to clopidogrel in a large ACS trial. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Nobori DES stent compared to the Xience Prime DES stent on safety and e cacy in patients requiring stents >=3.0mm in diameter on the background of contemporary dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with prasugrel and aspirin Set-up: Multicenter open-label randomized trial. Patient inclusion: Unselected series of patients in need of large (>3mm) stents only in native vessels irrespective of clinical indication. Patient exclusion: In-stent restenosis, Left-main disease, cardiogenic shock, planned surgery <12months, increased bleeding risk, no compliance expected, History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Randomization: By centre using sealed envelopes 1:1:1: Nobori:Xience Prime:Prokinetik-stent.
This open-label, non-randomized study will assess the mass balance, metabolism, routes and rates of elimination as well as efficacy and safety of RO5185426 (RG7204; PLEXXIKON; PLX4032) in previously treated or untreated patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients will receive continuous twice daily oral treatment with RO5185426. On Day 15, a 14C-labeled dose will be administered. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression occurs.
RATIONALE: Nelfinavir mesylate and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of hematologic cancer by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving nelfinavir mesylate together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of nelfinavir mesylate when given together with bortezomib in treating patients with relapsed or progressive advanced hematologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in left ventricular performance using echocardiography as well as ventricular remodelling, changes in sleep and changes in mood, anxiety and cognitive functions occurring as a result of treatment of predominant central sleep apnoea by adaptive servoventilation (ASV) in chronic heart failure in addition to optimal medical therapy in chronic heart failure. This will be a substudy of the SERVE-HF study.
