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 96 week study to determine if UK- 453,061 in combination with Truvada is as efficacious, safe and tolerable as efavirenz in combination with Truvada in HIV-1 infected patients who have not been previously treated with antiretroviral drugs.
The purpose of the protocol is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of subjects who discontinue for any reason from UK-453,061 qualifying studies.
Interaction of GLP-1 and PYY3-36 in the inhibition of food intake in healthy subjects
Hip fractures mostly occur in elderly people with low bone strength. Bone strength is determined by bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover, microarchitectural and geometrical properties of the bone. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the standard technique to measure BMD. However, BMD just provides information regarding the quantity of mineral in bone, which is only one component of bone strength. To date there is no reliable method to assess bone strength in vivo. Therefore, a method to assess bone strength beyond BMD would provide additional information regarding the patients' risk of bone related fixation failure after fracture fixation. DensiProbe is a new diagnostic device that was developed for intra-operative assessment of mechanical stability of the bone in the proximal femur. It consists of a drill bit like tool and an electronic system to measure the peak torque to break-away of trabecular bone in the femoral head of patients undergoing DHS surgical treatment. In a cadaver study comparing bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography with bone strength measured by DensiProbe a high correlation between these two parameters could be shown. In a clinical pilot study a significant correlation between DensiProbe measurements and BMD measured by DXA at the femoral neck in patients with hip fractures could be shown. However, no perfect correlation was expected because DensiProbe measures bone strength, which is only partly caused by BMD. Bone related fixation failure, such as secondary loss of reduction, is influenced by bone strength, bone mineral density, fracture type, fracture reduction and primary positioning of the implant. The predictive value of DensiProbe measurements for secondary loss of reduction needs to be investigated. If DensiProbe turned out to be an effective screening tool for patients with low bone strength that are on higher risk of the aforementioned complications these patients may in future benefit from alternative treatment methods (e.g. augmentation techniques) in order to reduce bone related fixation failure. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate if bone strength measured by DensiProbeTM Hip (DensiProbe) is an independent factor to predict secondary loss of reduction (screw migration of 5 mm or more and / or telescoping of 10 mm or more) in patients with hip fractures after fracture fixation with DHS.
The investigators aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of a single dose (2 mg) of oral GLP-1 administered prior to an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) in 16 healthy males
Influenza is a frequent cause of fever in returning travelers. Usually diagnosis rests on the clinical picture. Rapid flu tests are becoming increasingly popular, although their sensitivity and specificity are suboptimal. The objective of this study is to evaluate if rapid flu tests influence the medical management of returning travelers with fever, a population at intermediate risk for influenza infections.
This study will assess safety and efficacy of AEB071 combined with everolimus in a CNI-free (calcineurin inhibitor) regimen in renal transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ESBA105, a single-chain (scFv) antibody against TNF-alpha, efficiently penetrates into the anterior chamber and the vitreous body upon topical administration to the eye.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an intra-articular injection of DLX105 to the knee joint of patients suffering from severly painful osteoarthritis is safe and reduces pain.
The study will be an open label, multicenter, dose finding study. Depending on the tolerated dose up to 7 dose levels will be explored in this study, approximately 33 patients (21-54 depending on number of cohorts) may be enrolled into this study. Three patients will be initially dosed in each cohort. The primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended dose (RD) of twice daily oral doses of AZD2281 either as intermittent therapy for 7 days out of a 28-day schedule or given continuously, administered in combination with liposomal doxorubicin to patients with advanced solid tumors.
