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 investigate the effects of aminobiphosphonate treatment on the phenotype and function of circulating Vgamma9Vdelta2-T cells and to determine whether these effects are inhibited by simultaneous treatment with statins.
To determine if combined [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is performant enough with respect to detecting residual lymph node involvement after chemoradiation in order to omit planned neck dissections in patients with locally advanced potentially operable, N2 and N3 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Primary study hypothesis: The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the negative predictive value (NPV) of FDG PET/CT to detect residual malignant lymph node involvement at 12 weeks after completing chemoradiation will exceed 85%.
Recent research has focused on the investigation of sublingual microcirculatory alterations in different patient categories, like cardiac surgery and sepsis. The microcirculation plays a pivotal role in tissue oxygenation and can be non invasively visualized by sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging. The objective is to carry out a international multi center study to investigate the prevalence of microcirculatory alterations in intensive care patients. Up to the present time, a comprehensive prevalence study like this has not been carried out.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this trial is to determine the long term effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular events in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The objective of this study is to determine whether pomalidomide is safe and effective in reversing red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion-dependence in persons with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated myelofibrosis (global study) and in reversing anemia in Chinese with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and severe anemia not receiving RBC-transfusions (China extension study only)
In this pilot study the investigators will treat all patients known with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) who are diagnosed with advanced malignancies with everolimus 10mg daily until disease progression. Most patients with PJS have an inherited LKB1 mutation leading to aberrant m-TOR activity. Their risk to develop malignancies or intestinal polyps is probably related to this constitutive mTOR signaling. The hypothesis is that mTOR inhibition is an effective anticancer treatment in PJS patients with advanced malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to compare the two treatment strategies; first-line combination therapy (ambrisentan and tadalafil) versus first-line monotherapy (ambrisentan or tadalafil) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. This will be assessed by time to the first clinical failure event.
There is increasing evidence that hepatic lipid content (IntraHepatic Lipid, IHL) markedly increases the risk of metabolic complications, including insulin resistance and cardiovascular events. The investigators hypothesize that the liver is passively taking up free fatty acids (FFA) when the availability is high, thereby leading to an increased storage. To test this hypothesis, the investigators want to manipulate FFA levels, by means of a fasted exercise and recovery protocol, and monitor IHL content and hepatic Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) concentrations.
Administration of eplerenone within 24 hours of onset of symptoms of myocardial infarction, in patients without heart failure, reduces cardiovascular mortality / morbidity.
The aim of this study is to find out how patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis receiving NSAID-therapy are treated and managed by their doctor in usual clinical practice, how patients comply with their treatment and how satisfied they are with their treatment.
