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 determine whether pioglitazone, once daily (QD), can delay the time to death, heart attack, acute coronary syndrome, heart bypass surgery, stroke, leg bypass surgery or amputation in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This randomized double-blinded controlled trial uses a factorial design to investigate whether application of beta-blockers (inderal 80 mg) or aspirin (100 mg) or a combination thereof has an effect on the activation of the hemostatic system, the platelets and the endothelium in response to acute mental stress. Specifically we test the hypothesis that inderal attenuates the activation of the hemostatic system as compared to placebo. The second hypothesis is that aspirin attenuates the activation of platelets as compared to placebo. Subjects will be randomly allocated to either of the four following study arms: placebo - inderal - aspirin - inderal plus aspirin. Subjects will receive the study medication for five days prior to the mental stress. The acute mental stress consists of a public speaking session of 10 min duration immediately followed by a mental arithmetic test of 5 min duration. Blood will be collected prior to the stress, immediately thereafter, at 45 min at at 1 hour and 45 min.
The trial will compare the efficacy and safety of concomitant chemoradiation with tirapazamine, cisplatin and radiation versus cisplatin and radiation.
Primary objective: To evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg o.d. versus placebo (on a background of ASA 75-100 mg/d) will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage and survival, in patients receiving a below knee bypass graft for the treatment of PAD. Secondary objectives: Comparison, between the two treatment groups, of : - Primary patency, - Assisted primary patency, - Cardiovascular death / myocardial infarction / stroke / any amputation above the ankle. - Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) changes from baseline
Primary objective: The primary study objective is to demonstrate superior efficacy of an intensified insulin regimen with insulin glulisine and insulin glargine to a two-injection conventional insulin regimen in terms of change in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), from baseline to endpoint. Secondary objectives: Secondary study objectives are to compare the intensified insulin regimen with insulin glulisine and insulin glargine to a two-injection conventional insulin regimen in terms of blood glucose (BG) values (fasting, pre-/postprandial (ppBG), nocturnal, mean daily, fasting plasma glucose), daily BG profiles, BG and HbA1c response rates (predefined), hypoglycemic events, adverse events, change of late diabetes complications, weight, body-mass-index, course of total daily insulin dose and adjustment, blood lipid profile, microalbuminuria, standard lab and quality of life/treatment satisfaction.
Primary objectives: - To compare Disease-Free Survival (DFS) of an adjuvant treatment with docetaxel given either sequentially or in combination with doxorubicin and followed by CMF to doxorubicin alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide and followed by CMF in operable breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives: - To compare DFS of an adjuvant treatment with doxorubicin followed by docetaxel followed by CMF to doxorubicin followed by CMF in operable breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes - To compare DFS of an adjuvant treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin followed by CMF to doxorubicin in combination with cyclophosphamide followed by CMF in operable breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes - To compare DFS of an adjuvant treatment with doxorubicin followed by docetaxel followed by CMF to doxorubicin in combination with docetaxel followed by CMF in operable breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes, (sequential mono-chemotherapy versus polychemotherapy). - To compare overall survival of treatment arms. - To compare toxicity of treatment arms. - To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy. - Socioeconomic data will be collected in order to be able to perform a socioeconomic analysis by country, when needed.
Primary Objective: - To compare response rate between genotypic groups and control group. Secondary Objective: - To determine the safety, time to treatment failure and survival in control and genotypic arms.
To evaluate the effectiveness of amlodipine/atorvastatin therapy by assessing the percentage of subjects who reach target blood pressure (BP) and LDL-C targets as defined by their governing guidelines.
This study uses a single arm, multi-center, open-label trial design. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox (ICL670) in patients with evidence of transfusion induced iron overload.
A study to compare the effects of Diovan or Atenolol taken for 12 weeks on platelet function of patients who have mild to moderately severe hypertension
