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 the study was to determine the influence of fluvastatin and atorvastatin on platelet aggregation in patients treated with aspirin and plavix after coronary stenting. We hypothezied a positive effect of fluvastatin on platelet aggregation levels.
The aim of this randomized placebo-controlled study is to demonstrate the efficiency and safety of the injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (200 Units) into the external urethral sphincter for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of 2 fixed doses of rimonabant versus placebo on abstinence from tobacco use in cigarette smokers. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of rimonabant on craving and weight and on the clinical and biological safety and tolerability of rimonabant in a population of cigarette tobacco smokers during a 10-week treatment period and to observe the percentage of abstinent subjects during a 40-week follow-up post treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the change in muscle activity during gait with the use of ankle foot orthoses in children diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
To find a test to elaborate a parameter for specific immunotherapy in allergic patients
Recent studies indicate that persistent viral infections particularly with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) might have a negative impact on immune senescence (i.e. immunocompetence of elderly individuals). We will test this hypothesis by performing a vaccination trial in healthy elderly individuals subdivided in two groups of CMV-seropositive and CMV-seronegative individuals. All individuals will be vaccinated with the currently licensed vaccine for the prevention of TBE (FSME Immun CC) which is recommended for the general population in our area. Vaccination efficacy will be monitored longitudinally concerning the TBEV-specific antibody (TBEV-neutralization, TBEV-specific ELISA) and T cell response (ELISpot, cytokine production). Vaccination efficacy will be compared between CMV+ and CMV- individuals and correlated with the CMV-specific immune response in CMV+ individuals.
The purpose of this study is to explore tolerability, safety and effectiveness of flexibly dosed paliperidone extended release (ER) in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self) previously unsuccessfully treated with an oral antipsychotic medication.
The BEYOND Follow-Up study will give patients who participated in the preceding BEYOND study the opportunity to continue treatment with the 500µg dose of interferon beta (IFNB) 1b and will further investigate the safety and tolerability profile of interferon beta 1b 500µg during longer-term treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg once a day (O.D.) as a monotherapy versus a triple combination therapy containing 2 nucleosides and darunavir/ritonavir in 250 HIV-1 infected patients who have been on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) and have plasma viral load below 50 copies/ml for at least 24 weeks.
Primary Objective Comparison of the inhibition of the allergic response assessed by nasal provocation test after epicutanous pollen allergen administration and placebo epicutaneous administration. Secondary Objectives Comparison of the efficacy of the placebo with that of the epicutanous pollen allergen administration evaluated by visual analog symptom scales (nasal itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea, conjunctival redness, and lacrimation, lung symptoms ), Comparison of the inhibition of the allergic response assessed by skin prick test after epicutanous pollen allergen administration and placebo epicutaneous administration. - Trial with medicinal product
