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.
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease with the growth of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium. In all its properties, this tissue is similar to the mucous membrane of the uterus. Types of endometriosis: Endometriosis is divided into genital and extragenital. Genital endometriosis is internal and external. When the inner is affected by the uterus, with the external - the ovaries, tubes, vagina and external genital organs are affected. Extragenital endometriosis can affect various organs of the abdominal cavity. Drug treatment does not show high effectiveness. Surgery / laparoscopic is currently considered the gold standard treatment for this problem, including infertility treatment. The purpose of our studies is to achieve substantial results with respect to tolerability, safety and clinical efficacy of vaginal suppository ELTA for treatment of the endometriosis. Methods: Phase I clinical trial to be conducted at Cancer Center to hold under the aegis UniversitätsSpital Zürich from May 2018 to September 2018. Ninety-four patients with the form of genital endometriosis will take part in the studies. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee at the Cancer Institute no C99884.01FH339
This trial assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to characterize dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of epacadostat when added to the anthracycline/cytarabine combination as first-line induction treatment in AML patients fit for intensive treatment
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986205 given with Nivolumab with or without chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy in participants with previously untreated stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is responsible for 10-15% of primary strokes. ICH is a dynamic process with three phases: initial hemorrhage, followed by hematoma expansion and perihematoma edema formation. Hematoma volume is correlated with disease progression and outcome. Contemporary evidence proposes that elevated blood pressure is associated with hematoma expansion while more than 90% of patients with ICH present with acute hypertension. Uncontrolled blood pressure is a leading cause of ICH and it seems also to be a factor of poorer outcomes. Therefore, rapid reduction and control of blood pressure might ease disease progression and improve the outcome. Clevidipine (Cleviprex®), an ultrashort-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, with its rapid onset and short duration might be more effective than conventional antihypertensives to achieve rapid blood pressure control in patients with acute ICH.
Ruxolitinib will be dispensed to patients candidate to prostatectomy immediately after histological diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma. The treatment will be given for 28 days followed by a prostatectomy thereafter. Tumor material and blood samples will be analysed before, during and after the treatment with Ruxolitinib.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of abatacept with steroid treatment in comparison to steroid treatment alone in up to a 28 week taper of steroid treatment to sustain remission of Giant Cell Arteritis in adults.
Virtual reality surgical simulators (VRSS) are gaining popularity for general surgery training, both for conventional laparoscopic and robotically-assisted surgery. Although numerous studies have analysed the impact of VRSS training on surgical skills, there is a lack of data regarding the comparison of robotic VRSS (RVRSS) and laparoscopic VRSS (LVRSS) training on conventional laparoscopic skills among subjects with no prior surgical experience. The hypothesis of the present study is that RVRSS could improve conventional laparoscopic skills as much as laparoscopic LVRSS among naïve subjects
This 22 week study will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LDE225 versus vehicle when applied topically to basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in patients with NBCCS. Patients will treat multiple BCCs for up to 12 weeks. Treatment success is defined as complete clinical clearance and complete histological clearance in BCCs.
In this bioavailability trial should be shown that the one of the main active constituent in alcoholic echinacea extracts, the alkylamide dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide (short: tetraen) is bioavailable in children of different age groups after intake of 5 Echinaforce junior tablets.
The primary objective of this multicenter, randomized phase II trial is to assess the efficacy, as measured by progression-free survival (PFS), of lenvatinib compared to doxorubicin in advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. The main secondary objective is to evaluate the predictive value of Ang-2 on lenvatinib activity and establishing a cutoff value as potential selection criteria for phase III. Other secondary objectives are to assess the tolerability and safety of lenvatinib in this setting and overall survival, response and disease control.
