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.
Juxta-Fit is used for compression treatment. Juxta-Fit is an inelastic compression device which can be easily adjusted to the circumference of the limb and is usually used during the maintenance phase of lymphedema treatment. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Juxta-Fit in the initial treatment phase of leg lymphedema compared to the traditional treatment with Trico bandages in relation to interface pressure and to explore if self-management by Juxta fit is efficient after a short demonstration. Data are collected at 0-2-24 hours
This study is designed to characterize the early effects of ApoA-I synthesis with RVX000222 on coronary atherosclerotic disease when administered to patients with coronary artery disease and have a low HDL-C level, as assessed by Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in addition to standard background therapy.
The triple therapy darunavir/r + tenofovir/emtricitabine is likely to become a relevant first-line treatment option in the years to come. The dual combination of boosted darunavir + raltegravir is an innovative treatment option that combines two potent new antiretroviral drugs, one of which belongs to a new drug class (integrase inhibitor). The expected efficacy profile of this combination is promising. Moreover, this combination might have a better tolerance profile and has the advantage of sparing the NRTI class. In the context of tenofovir/emtricitabine currently being a reference backbone in first-line antiretroviral regimens, we hypothesise that, in combination with darunavir/r, raltegravir may be an alternative option if its efficacy is non-inferior to tenofovir/emtricitabine.
The primary objective of this multi-center, international, short term registry is to assess clinical success and efficacy of the paclitaxel eluting balloon treatment for in-stent restenosis at 6-9 months follow up. Clinical success defined as freedom from major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, myocardial infarction [MI], target lesion revascularization [TLR]) and target vessel revascularization [TVR]) and stent thrombosis, both early and late occurrences will be assessed. In addition, a cohort of the registry will undergo angiographic follow up at 6-9 months to assess in-stent and in-segment late loss and binary restenosis subsequent to paclitaxel eluting balloon treatment for in-stent restenosis. A prioi analysis will be comparison of the safety and efficacy of patients presenting with drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis to bare metal stent in-stent restenosis.
The TWENTE Study is a single center prospective single-blinded randomized study. Randomization will involve the type of Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) used in study population. Patients will be blinded to the type of DES they will receive. The general practitioner of the patient will be requested not to disclose this information to the patient. Analysts who perform the data analyses will be blinded to the type DES used as well.
Vasculitis is group of diseases where inflammation of blood vessels is the common feature. Patients typically present with fever, fatigue, weakness and muscle and joint aches. These symptoms are very common among many different diseases, not just vasculitis. A clustering of other symptoms, physical examination findings, blood tests, radiology and biopsy help make the diagnosis. There are currently no criteria to help doctors make a diagnosis of vasculitis when a patient presents with these non specific symptoms and they are reliant on previous experience and disease definitions. One of the aims of this project is to develop diagnostic criteria for the primary systemic vasculitides (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis, Churg Strauss syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis). We, the investigators, will do this by studying a large group of patients with vasculitis and comparing them to a large group of patients that present in a similar way, but do not have vasculitis. By comparing the 2 groups we will create a list of items to differentiate between vasculitis and 'vasculitis mimics'. We also aim to update the current classification criteria. Classification criteria are used to group patients into different types of vasculitis, once a diagnosis of vasculitis has been made, and are useful for studying patients in clinical trials with similar or identical diseases. The current classification criteria (American college of Rheumatology 1990 criteria) were developed 20 years ago, before the availability of some important diagnostic tests (e.g. antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [ANCA]), and are now not consistent with some of the current disease definitions. Therefore to progress future research in vasculitis, it is important that the classification criteria are updated. We will recruit 260 patients with each of the 6 types of vasculitis and compare them with 1300 controls (patients with the 5 other types of vasculitis), in order to determine the optimal combination of symptoms, signs and investigations that classify each person into the appropriate group.
As recommended by the Dutch Health Council, certain risk groups and health care workers in The Netherlands were vaccinated to prevent morbidity due to pandemic influenza A/H1N1. Adults were vaccinated twice with the monovalent influenza A/California/2009(H1N1) MF59-adjuvanted surface-antigen vaccine Focetria® (Novartis). The vaccination campaign was executed by general practitioners. The aim of the study is to verify whether HIV-infected individuals generate an adequate immune response after the first and after the second vaccination.
Clinical study to determine safety, tolerability, to measure how the drug is metabolized by the body and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of BAY79-4620 given every 2 weeks to patients with advanced solid tumors
The aim of this study is to assess whether increasing oral doses of Riociguat are safe and improve the well-being, symptoms and outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
This study will assess the safety and tolerability of PRM-151 administered as a subconjunctival injection and explore the effect of PRM-151 on various correlates of the wound healing process that occurs in the eye after glaucoma filtration surgery.
