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.
To investigate the therapeutic effect of a selected probiotic mixture on the severity of AD in infants aged 0-15 months. The probiotic mixture has been studied in laboratory setting and has proven IL-10 stimulating effects. Therefore it is thought to decrease AD severity in young children (beyond the conventional treatment).
The objective of this study is to determine whether enhanced micronutrient intake in the form of fruit, vegetable and berry juice powder (FVB) concentrate, improves clinical outcomes in chronic periodontitis patients prior to standard non-surgical treatment.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability and health outcomes of retigabine Immediate Release (IR) as adjunctive therapy to each of the following monotherapy Antiepileptic Drug (AED) treatments: carbamazepine/oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, or valproic acid in adult subjects with partial-onset seizures (POS) using a flexible dosing regimen.
BRF113683 is a Phase III, randomized, open-label study comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GSK2118436 to dacarbazine (DTIC), in subjects with BRAF mutant advanced (Stage III) or metastatic (Stage IV) melanoma. Subjects will be randomized to receive 150 mg of GSK2118436 twice daily or 1000 mg/m2 DTIC every 3 weeks and continue on treatment until disease progression, death, or unacceptable adverse event. Subjects who progress on DTIC will be allowed to crossover to an optional extension arm of the study to receive GSK2118436.
Rationale: The introduction of angiogenesis inhibitors, like sunitinib and bevacizumab, has improved the outcome of patients with several types of cancer remarkably. However, their application is hampered by side effects, such as development of hypertension with consequences for renal and cardiac function. Moreover patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors may suffer from weight loss, and insulin sensitivity during treatment appears to change. The treatment with angiogenesis inhibitors, will improve life expectancy of patients with various cancer diagnoses and therefore the clinical relevance of both short term and long lasting adverse events will translate into reduced quality of life. In addition, premature withdrawal of angiogenesis inhibitors due to side effects may result in lower response, shorter duration of response and possibly a shorter survival. Therefore, adequate treatment of above mentioned side effects in patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors is of relevance for the response rate, the duration of progression free survival and overall survival and for quality of life. Mechanistic insight in the pathogenesis of these side effects will help optimizing treatment. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on endothelial function, insulin sensitivity, renal function and renal blood flow. Study design: Single-centre non randomized observational study Study population: 30 Patients (>18 years old) starting with sunitinib as treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
This study is designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of a new drug, AZD5363, in patients with advanced cancer - and to identify a dose and schedule that can be used in the future. This study will also investigate how the body handles AZD5363 (ie, how quickly the body absorbs and removes the drug). This study will also investigate anti-tumour activity of AZD5363 in patients with advanced / metastatic breast, gynaecological cancers or other solid cancers bearing either AKT1 / PIK3CA or PTEN mutation.
The primary objective of this study is to establish the effectiveness and confirm the safety of the VizAblate System in ablating symptomatic uterine fibroids.
The primary objective of this study is to establish the dose-response relationship with regard to efficacy and safety of BIBR 1048 (50 mg bis in die(b.i.d), 150 mg b.i.d, 225 mg b.i.d. and 300 mg quaque die(q.d) ) in preventing venous thromboembolism(VTE) in patients undergoing primary elective total hip and knee replacement.
This study is being carried out to see if a new drug called ticagrelor given twice daily in addition to the ASA therapy decreases the frequency of cardiovascular events (e.g., death from heart disease, heart attack, or stroke).
Background: The incidence of gastrointestinal infections is very high. In European countries 10-25% of the population suffers from at least one foodborne infection per year. Probiotics may strengthen human resistance to gut infections as they may beneficially modulate the intestinal microbiota composition and activity, and the immune function upon intestinal infection. Aim: To study whether probiotics improve the resistance of humans to enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Study design: The PRETEC study is a parallel, double-blind, placebo-controled 4-weeks intervention with probiotics in healthy volunteers. In this study, the effect of probiotic intervention vs placebo on several infection markers in response to an ETEC challenge is investigated. Participants will be randomly assigned to the probiotic or placebo group (n=21 per group). Subjects will be instructed to maintain their habitual food intake, but to standardize their dietary calcium intake. After an adaptation period of 2 weeks, subjects will be orally infected with a live, but attenuated, ETEC vaccine (strain E1392-75-2A; collection NIZO food research; dose will be 10E10 CFU). This ETEC strain induces mild and short-lived infectious diarrhea symptoms. Before and after infection, a diary will be kept to write down all food and drinks consumption (2x2 days) to assess the habitual dietary intake. The diary will also be used for daily recording of bowel habits and frequency and severity of gastrointestinal complaints. Blood is sampled for immune response analyses and multiple faecal samples are collected to quantify several infection- and immune system markers, to determine probiotic excretion, and to verify dietary calcium intake. Study population: Healthy males of 20-55 yrs of age. Interventions: Probiotics (freeze-dried powder, dose 10E9 CFU twice daily) or placebo (carrier material powder of identical appearance). Primary outcomes: Total fecal ETEC excretion per day and severity of diarrhea (quantified by faecal output per day). Secondary outcomes: Serum immune response to ETEC, self-reported stool consistency scores and gastrointestinal complaints, relative faecal wet weight, sIgA and calprotectin in faeces, probiotic persistence and levels of opportunistic pathogens in the endogenous microbiota.
