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.
Multimodal functional magnetic resonance (MR) methods, including MR diffusion, Blood-Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) imaging and MR spectroscopy may provide complementary information about the functional status of a kidney. The researchers hypothesize that these non-invasive methods correlate with histology as "gold standard" and compete favorably with conventional in part invasive evaluation methods, and thus provide specific and early detection of kidney diseases of various etiologies, drug toxicity, or renal allograft dysfunction.
To assess the importance of intracellular signalling pathways and its deregulation in adiposity and diabetes-related insulin resistance, liver tissue samples of patients suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)will be analyzed prospectively from a liver tissue bank.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori followed by therapy with esomeprazole for a total of 8 weeks extends the time to relapse in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A relapse is defined by two consecutive symptom scores of the Eraflux questionnaire within 14 days that are equal or above the critical value of 25. The secondary objectives are 1. To compare the time to relapse in the two H. pylori positive study groups with the H. pylori negative control group 2. To compare the pattern of inflammation and atrophy in the two H. pylori positive treatment groups with the naturally H. pylori negative control group at relapse. 3. All the above objectives analyzed for the efficacy subset that is the per-protocol patients broken down by effective H. pylori-eradication. Secondary endpoints will be analyzed by the following parameters and their interactions: 1. Treatment : Eradicated, Non-eradicated, Hp-negative control 2. Esophagitis at study start: grades 0, A/B and C/D 3. Gender 4. Alcohol intake 5. NSAID/ASA intake (for histological results) - Trial with medicinal product
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept treatment by comparison to placebo in increasing the overall survival (OS) in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer, treated with gemcitabine. The secondary objectives were to evaluate progression free survival, clinical benefit, overall response, safety and immunogenicity of aflibercept, in the two treatment arms (Arm 1: Aflibercept and Gemcitabine; Arm 2: Placebo and Gemcitabine). The study included an interim analysis of OS. In accordance with the study protocol, an interim analysis was performed for the purpose of futility and overwhelming efficacy. On the basis of the interim analysis, the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended that this study be terminated for futility based on predefined boundary rules.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in combination with topical psoriasis treatment, calcipotriol/betamethasone, vs. adalimumab in combination with matching vehicle in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of the combination treatment AllQbG10 in patients with perennial allergic rhinoconjunctivitis due to house dust mite allergy in a double-blind placebo-controlled setting
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Dextro-amphetamin added to physiotherapy on motor recovery in patients after stroke. The study is a double-blinded placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial. Patients after a first-ever ischemic stroke will receive Dexamphetamine (10mg) twice per week for a duration of five weeks after a baseline phase of two weeks. The outcome measure focuses on motor recovery and will be assessed: - one and two weeks before study intervention (baseline phase) - five times during the study intervention - one week after study intervention (follow-up) - once after six and twelve months after start of the study intervention (follow-up).
This Phase 1 escalating-dose study is designed to assess, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the novel proteasome inhibitor CEP 18770, given intravenously as single agent, in patients with advanced, incurable solid tumours or NHL, and to identify the recommended dose of CEP 18770 to be used in Phase 2 studies.
This study will evaluate if extended therapy with oral rivaroxaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that can occur with patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and compare these results with those of the standard enoxaparin dose and duration regimen. The safety of rivaroxaban will also be studied.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of food on oral LBH589 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will also evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBH589 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors
