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 Phase 3, multi-national, open-label, 2-arm randomized study in patients with surgically incurable metastatic melanoma who have received no prior chemotherapy, or biochemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic disease. The primary objective of this trial is to compare overall survival for patients with advanced melanoma who are randomized to receive CP-675,206 with that of patients who are randomized to receive either dacarbazine or temozolomide (investigator choice)
This is an international study in adult patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma who have already received at least one autologous stem cell transplantation and who have responded but later progressed, or relapsed, at least one year after transplantation. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatments: either Velcade plus Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone or Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone. Thalidomide and Velcade are two new agents that have recently become available for the treatment of multiple myeloma, especially in relapsed patients. This study therefore aims to test the hypothesis that the combination treatment with Velcade plus Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone will result in a longer time to progression (measure of time after the disease is treated until it starts to get worse) than Thalidomide plus Dexamethasone alone.
The purpose of this study is to learn if Belatacept can provide protection from organ rejection following kidney transplantation while avoiding some of the toxic effects of standard immunosuppressive medications such as kidney damage. Effects on kidney function and patient survival as well as drug safety will also be studied.
A multicentre, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled phase III study of subcutaneously administered Raptiva in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis
This is a long-term safety follow-up study to assess the post-treatment safety, at 12 and 24 months, in patients with type 2 diabetes after participation in the phaseII/III studies GALLANT, GALLEX and ARMOR. In addition, selected patients, including those with pre-defined laboratory or clinical findings, will have a 12-week post-treatment follow-up visit, including laboratory evaluation and adverse event recording.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a specific family based cognitive behavioral treatment program is effective in the treatment of children with separation anxiety disorder.
To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to compare it to the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel
The purpose of this study is to provide data on the dose response of simvastatin in lowering LDL-C when it is co-administered with valsartan in patients with both essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The primary objective of the study will be to show that the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 40mg has superior efficacy compared to the combination of valsartan 160mg/simvastatin 20mg in percentage change from baseline in LDL-C.
This is a 107-week open-label, multi-center long-term extension study from GALLANT studies 2/22, 5, 7, 8 and 14 to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar 1 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes during up to 104 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 107 weeks.
The aim is to evaluate if the resolution of upper abdominal symptoms (pain or burning) during an acid suppressive test trial of esomprazole given daily for 7 days predicts symptoms resolution at the end of a subsequent treatment period of 7 weeks.
