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.
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the ATS 3f Enable Aortic Bioprosthesis in a patient population undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement with or without concomitant procedures. The Enable Aortic Valve is an equine pericardial stented bioprosthesis.
The inflammatory properties of propofol are still under debate. Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I) is involved in the inflammatory process. This study was designed to determine whether and how propofol or its solvent modulate Apo A-I and the inflammatory response after surgical stress. The investigators study hypothesis was that propofol might modify the Apo A-I blood levels, and thus, modulate the postoperative inflammatory course.
This is an intervention study for informal caregivers of adult patients with an acquired brain injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury or cerebral haemorrhage). It will determine whether an internet-based supportive coaching offers benefits to the caregivers in their own process of coping in the aftermath of a brain injury of a close relative. We expect the internet-based supportive coaching to be more effective in the treatment of emotional distress reactions and caregiver burden than the treatment as usual.
Long-term, single-arm, multicenter, open-label extension, Phase 3 study, to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACT-293987 in patients with PAH who participated in the double-blind study AC-065A302 (GRIPHON)
In this open study, the primary objective is to study the efficacy and clinical outcome of the chronic wounds treated with this preparation for 8 weeks on 30 adults. Evaluation will be based on standardised photographs and clinical data. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the tolerance and side effects of the honey based preparation in the management of chronic wounds.
The "SWiss Atorvastatin and Interferon-Beta 1b Trial In Multiple Sclerosis - Follow up Study" is the follow up study of the "SWiss Atorvastatin and Interferon Beta-1b Trial In Multiple Sclerosis (SWABIMS)" (see http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Identifier: NCT00942591) SWABIMS evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of atorvastatin 40 mg in addition to interferon-beta 1b compared to interferon-beta 1b monotherapy in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis for 15 month. The SWABIMS Follow up study observes patients that finish the SWABIMS study for another 12 month with ongoing unchanged medication.
The purpose of the Advisa MRI System clinical study is to confirm safety and effectiveness in the clinical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environment when subjects receive MRI scans up to 2W/kg Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) without positioning restrictions (MRI scans may occur anywhere on the body including the chest).
The objective of this patient registry is to collect data on the safety of Berinert® in normal clinical practice in the United States. The patient registry will be maintained for a period of at least 3 years. The duration of individual patient participation will vary and is determined by the frequency of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks and the patient's need for Berinert® treatment.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a regimen containing Cobicistat (COBI)-boosted atazanavir (ATV/co) plus emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) versus ritonavir (RTV)-boosted atazanavir (ATV/r) plus FTC/TDF in HIV-1-infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults. Development of COBI as a "pharmacoenhancer" could provide a beneficial alternative to RTV for use in combination with protease inhibitors.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy is more effective with or without cetuximab in treating patients with esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy, with or without cetuximab, followed by surgery in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
