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.
RATIONALE: Adjuvant therapy given after surgery for early breast cancer may cause infertility. Assessing young women's attitudes and feelings about the risk of infertility may help improve the ability to plan effective treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying young women's attitudes and feelings about the risk of infertility related to adjuvant therapy for stage I or stage II breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Using computer systems that create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor to plan treatment may enable doctors to provide more effective radiation therapy that will cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of high-dose 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy in treating patients with inoperable stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Antibiotics such as amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, and moxifloxacin may be effective in preventing or controlling fever and neutropenia in patients with cancer. It is not yet known whether moxifloxacin alone is more effective than amoxicillin combined with ciprofloxacin in treating neutropenia and fever. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well moxifloxacin works and compares it to ciprofloxacin together with amoxicillin in treating neutropenia and fever in patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as doxorubicin and ifosfamide use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, cause the body to make blood cells. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin alone is more effective with or without ifosfamide and pegfilgrastim in treating soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving doxorubicin alone to see how well it works compared to giving doxorubicin together with ifosfamide and pegfilgrastim in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
This study will determine if NXY-059 will improve recovery from an acute stroke. The study is designed to look at both overall recovery and recovery of motor function, for example muscle strengthen and coordination.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy with vinblastine is more effective than combination chemotherapy with vincristine in treating advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two combination chemotherapy regimens with either vinblastine or vincristine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed advanced anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective, or whether chemotherapy is more effective than observation, in treating pancreatic cancer after surgery. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two chemotherapy regimens with no further therapy in treating patients who have completely resected pancreatic cancer.
To compare the efficacy of combination oral thalidomide plus oral dexamethasone treatment to that of oral dexamethasone-alone treatments as induction (first-line) therapy for subjects with active multiple myeloma
The objective of the study is to determine the dose(s) of Ro 205-2349 which, when compared to placebo, are efficacious, safe and tolerable in improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Doses of 2 to 5 mg/day will be studied.
This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group pharmacokinetics trial of tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/RTV), alone or in combination with RTV-boosted saquinavir (SQV), amprenavir (APV) or lopinavir (LPV), plus an optimized background regimen, in multiple antiretroviral (ARV) experienced HIV-1 patients. The primary objective is to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of: TPV/RTV given with an optimized background regimen (OBR) and TPV/RTV given in combination with saquinavir, amprenavir, or Kaletra® and an optimized background regimen (OBR).
