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.
A prospective, two-arm, multi-center, randomized, open-label, pre-market, First-in-Human clinical study designed to provide safety and performance data regarding the use of the Adagio PFA and PFCA Systems in the treatment of PsAF.
Chronic knee pain remains a disabling disease despite current treatment strategies. There is an increase in the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in the general population, presently affecting approximately 450,000 individuals in Belgium. A total knee replacement is a viable alternative for severe knee OA that does not respond to conservative therapy. Unfortunately, up to 53% of patients who undergo a total knee replacement develop persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP). There is currently no effective therapy for PPSP. A radiofrequency (RF) treatment applies high frequency current on the nerve responsible for pain conduction, resulting in an interruption of the transmission of pain. This can be applied to the nerves innervating the knee joint - the superolateral, superomedial and inferomedial genicular nerves - and could be an alternative, minimally invasive treatment for patients with knee OA who fail conservative treatments and for patients with PPSP. Data from the recent literature indicates that this treatment leads to a reduction of pain intensity and could result in an improvement of knee function, of the psychological state of the individual, and finally in an increase in health-related quality of life. Furthermore, RF of the genicular nerves could help avoid or delay a total knee replacement therefore potentially contributing to cost reduction. Both cooled and conventional RF treatments are reported in the literature to improve pain. The use of water to cool the RF electrodes results in an increased lesion size by removing heat from adjacent tissue, allowing power delivery to be increased. As a consequence, cooled RF could result in a higher chance of success and longer duration of effect. Until now, the studies performed on cooled RF are industry initiated and a direct comparison between conventional, cooled and a sham procedure is lacking. The aim of the COGENIUS trial is to investigate the effect of the two types of RF treatment on individuals experiencing chronic knee pain that is resistant to conservative treatments. For this purpose, the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of cooled and conventional RF will be compared to a sham procedure in patients suffering from knee OA and PPSP after total knee replacement.
Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a tendon overuse injury with high prevalence rates in elite and recreational athletes. PT sometimes results in a prolonged absence from sport participation, hampering individuals to achieve their desired performance levels and to benefit from the health related effects of sports participation. Many treatment options are used but management of PT remains challenging. Current treatment involves progressive education, load management and tendon loading exercises (PTLE). Recent studies have shown that nutrition can positively affect collagen synthesis in musculoskeletal tissues. A study showed that supplementing 15g of gelatine combined with 50mg of Vitamin C, 1 hour before loading exercises, resulted in an increase in whole body collagen synthesis and increased mechanics and collagen content of human engineered ligaments. However the effectiveness of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen in combination with vitamin C in athletes with PT has not been studied in a randomized controlled trial yet. Objective: The primary aim of this RCT is to evaluate whether the use of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen/vitamin C in addition to usual care (education, load management and PTLE) is superior to usual care and placebo on VISA-P score after 12, 24 and 52 weeks for athletes with PT. The secondary aim of this RCT is to evaluate whether the use of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen/vitamin C in addition to usual care (education, load management and PTLE) is superior to usual care and placebo on other clinical outcome parameters, functional tests and tendon structure after 12 and 24 weeks for athletes with PT.
This prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized phase-II-trial investigates in clinical practice the differences between intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the effects on dose-volume parameters and treatment-related morbidity for women with locally advanced cervical cancer undergoing chemoradiation.
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is used in current clinical practice in selected patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Clinical evidence for the benefit of HIPEC in ovarian cancer comes from the pivotal phase 3 OVHIPEC trial. Worldwide, two established strategies exist for dosing of HIPEC protocols, which follow either a body surface area (BSA)-based or a concentration-based approach. Since both strategies result in different exposure to intra-peritoneal chemotherapy, we aim to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of both strategies.
The purpose of this Phase 1b proof of concept study, randomised, placebo controlled, double blind, multicentre study is to asssess safety and efficacy of 2 doses of VAD044 in adult HHT patients
Study the effect of 6-weeks porcine protein supplementation vs isocaloric comparator (carbohydrate) on functional outcomes in post ICU-patients. Patients will be included at ICU discharge. Included patients will receive the supplements twice daily (morning and afternoon), starting at the first day at the general ward. To the best of our knowledge, a study on protein supplementation in the post-ICU period to address its effect on functional outcomes is lacking.
This trial is an extension of the antecedent trial ARGX-117-2002. It is a multicenter trial that has been designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARGX-117 Intravenously (IV) in adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN). The trial will include a double-blinded rollover treatment period (DTP), an open-label treatment period (OTP), and a safety follow-up period.
Imiquimod is a good non-invasive treatment option for women with cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (cHSIL), especially those with a possible (future) pregnancy wish. Complete response to imiquimod occurs in 55-73% of patients, however side-effects of imiquimod are common and can be extensive. Therefore, biomarkers which can predict response to imiquimod therapy are warranted, to increase therapy efficacy and to avoid side effects in patients who will not respond. This prospective, multi-center cohort study aims to validate the potential of immune related biomarkers to predict the clinical response of patients with primary cHSIL to imiquimod, aims to explore the value of these immune biomarkers in recurrent/residual cHSIL to predict treatment responses for imiquimod and aims to explore their potential in spontaneous regression of cHSIL (CIN2).
This is a single-center, single-arm pilot trial designed to evaluate the expression of PD-L1 in patients with Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and its role in non-responsiveness to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in a non-invasive manner. Moreover, within this trial 89Zr-atezolizumab PET/CT imaging as a tool to distinguish lymphoma activity from a treatment-related inflammatory signal (histiocytic/sarcoid-like reaction) in patients with an end-of-treatment positive FDG PET/CT signal will be evaluated.
