There are about 13332 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Netherlands. 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 by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).
This open-label, non-comparative, multi-center study will assess the safety profile and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) when added to carboplatin and paclitaxel therapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Patients will receive 15 mg/kg Avastin intravenously on Day 1 of every cycle for up to 36 cycles of 3 weeks each, carboplatin (AUC 5-6 mg/ml/min) on Day 1 every 3 weeks for a maximum of 8 cycles and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 on Day 1 every 3 weeks or 80 mg/m2 every week for a maximum of 8 cycles. The anticipated time on study drug will be 108 weeks or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Underweight is more prevalent in people with a mental handicap than in people without a mental handicap, especially in people with a severe mental handicap. It is unknown if these people are malnourished. There is no validated screening instrument available to determine the nutrition status in people with complex multiple disabilities. Research regarding malnutrition based on body composition and nutrients in stead of anthropometric data is important. The aim of the study is to understand the nutritional status of people with complex multiple disabilitiest through measurement of body composition and nutritients. The primary objective of the study is: What percentage of people with complex multiple disabilities are malnourished, based on altered body composition and nutritients? Understanding the nutritional status of these patients is important in order for them to receive appropriate and effective treatment. This treatment is of interest for general health and the quality of daily life.
During exercise, splanchnic perfusion is compromised, resulting in organ damage in healthy individuals. Improving the availability of NO might result increase splanchnic perfusion and prevent organ damage during exercise.
Dietary intervention to prevent sarcopenia in elderly people. The objective of this study is to test whether combined nutrient intake plays an important role in stimulation of the muscle protein growth in elderly people; and whether it represent effective strategies to overcome the impaired muscle protein synthesis in elderly when compared with young subjects.
The purpose of the present proposal was to investigate the predictive properties of markers in exhaled breath to predict an asthma exacerbation. In addition, the reliability of home monitor assessments to measure asthma control will be examined.
This registry is to expand upon existing data sets, to identify patient characteristics and indicators related to complications and clinical benefits for patients with symptomatic severe calcific degenerative aortic stenosis that are undergoing treatment with the commercially available Edwards SAPIEN XT™ Valve, and delivery devices.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of LY2623091 after multiple oral dosing in healthy men and women of non-childbearing potential. Two cohorts of 16 subjects will participate in 2 dosing periods. Treatment assignment will be double-blind for LY2623091 and placebo (negative control), and open label for eplerenone (positive control).
LEE011 is a new oral drug designed to inhibit the activity of an enzyme known as CDK4/6. CDK4/6 is involved in the process that allows both normal and cancer cells to divide and multiply. Cancer cells are often driven to divide and multiply by abnormalities that increase the activity of CDK4. Hence there is hope that blocking the activity of CDK4 may slow the growth of some cancers. LEE011 has shown anti-cancer activity in several different tumor models in animals. Because CDK4 is important in both normal and cancerous cells, LEE011 is expected to decrease the ability of the bone marrow to make white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. Although these effects are expected to be reversible, they can increase the risk of infection, bleeding and fatigue. The primary purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of LEE011 that can be safely given to adult patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas for which no further effective standard treatment is available. It will provide information about the side effects that may occur following treatment. The study will also possibly provide early evidence for LEE011's anti-tumor activity.
The purpose of this study is to establish if cells present in lung tissue during extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) are able to elicit an immune response against specific antigens. The hypothesis is: cells in BAL lavage fluid from patients with EAA will be responsive to specific antigens and this response can be measured using ELISPOT.
