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 this study is to provide early access to TMC114 (a protease inhibitor) for HIV-1 infected patients with limited or no treatment options, who have failed multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens, and to evaluate the longer-term safety and tolerability of TMC114/r in combination with other antiretrovirals
Anaesthetics may impair the diastolic function of the heart, but the importance of this finding for patients has not been sufficiently examined. Specially the effects on diastolic function in patients with diastolic dysfunction has to be determined. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of isoflurane (only part I), sevoflurane and desflurane (part I+II) on the diastolic left ventricular function by doppler echocardiography.
Investigating the perioperative effect of moxonidine. In a randomized double-blind fashion, patients undergoing vascular surgery will receive moxonidine 0.2 mg or placebo from the day before surgery until day 4 after surgery. Holter-EKG for 48 h, starting just before surgery. Repeated 12-lead EKG, measurements of Troponin I and BNP, clinical visitations, follow-up interviews at 6 and 12 months
Patients will be followed up for max 18 months. Information on the Adverse Events and potential misuse or abuse of Xyrem ® will be collected.
The purpose of this study is to determine how effective duloxetine is in treating women who are 65 years of age or older with symptoms of stress urinary incontinence, or with a combination of stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of Clopidogrel 75mg once daily (od) plus aspirin at 100mg daily (recommended dose) is as effective as oral anticoagulation therapy with a lower risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation associated with at least one major cardiovascular risk factor.Primary objectives :The combination of clopidogrel plus aspirin compared to adjusted dose (INR between 2.0 and 3.3) oral anticoagulation (a vitamin K antagonist) will result in the same risk of the composite outcome of stroke, non-CNS systemic embolism, myocardial infarction or vascular death in patients with atrial fibrillation.The secondary objective is to establish whether or not aspirin plus clopidogrel has a lower risk of hemorrhage than standard anticoagulation therapy.
Adults who are taking opioid therapy for persistent non-cancer pain and have resulting opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD) will be randomized (1:1) to alvimopan or placebo. The primary objective of this Phase 3 long-term safety study is to compare alvimopan with placebo for safety and tolerability in the treatment of OBD. Participants will be required to attend 8 clinic visits over approximately 1 year.
This open-label study will enable HIV-infected adults with limited treatment options to receive fosamprenavir until commercial supplies are available in Switzerland.
The purpose of this study is to see if rosuvastatin helps to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular deaths in patients undergoing haemodialysis.
Calcitonin has been used for many years for treating osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and it has been shown that calcitonin reduces pain after spine and hip fracture in women with osteoporosis. Therefore, this study assesses the safety and efficacy of salmon calcitonin nasal spray on muscle strength after a forearm fracture, pain, quality of life and fracture healing in postmenopausal women.
