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 primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy in terms of CNS-specific PFS of the combination of standard systemic treatment plus SRS vs. standard systemic treatment alone in patients with newly diagnosed and untreated (except for surgery) asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC. This proposed randomised phase III clinical study addresses one of the most controversial issues in the current approach to patients with brain mets: the timing of SRS in patients eligible for systemic immune checkpoint inhibition or targeted therapy in order to guide therapeutic options as to what strategy allows the best compromise between best survival and best QoL.
TIRCON-reg aims to - continue the provision of a global registry and natural history study for NBIA disorders - harmonize and cover existing national and single site registries - enable participation of countries and single sites that so far have no access to an NBIA registry - join forces in order to recruit sufficient numbers of patients - define the natural history of NBIA disorders - define the most appropriate outcome measures - inform the design and facilitate the conduction of clinical trials
This pilot study aims to investigate the PSMA expression in the biopsy material of advanced soft tissue sarcomas and advanced urothelial cell carcinomas, and in case of high PSMA expression (as defined by previous literature), to investigate whether this correlates with high tracer uptake on PSMA-targeted PET. This way, (a subset of) patients can be selected that could benefit from radionuclide targeted therapy in the future.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ANX1502 (prodrug) and ANX1439 (active drug) in healthy participants.
End-ischemic hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) of human donor livers mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury, resulting in a reduction of post-reperfusion syndrome, early allograft dysfunction and biliary complications, when compared with static cold storage. According to IDEAL-D (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long term study-Framework for Devices), with several published randomized controlled trials on short-to-medium term outcomes, scientific evidence for HOPE has currently reached stage 3. Assessment of long-term outcomes after HOPE preservation based on real-world data (i.e., IDEAL-D stage 4) is currently still lacking. Therefore, we aim to conduct an international, multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study to assess long-term outcomes after transplantation of donor livers preserved by hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE).
The vast majority of patients with distal biliary, pancreatic head or uncinate process cancer have jaundice caused by distal malignant obstruction (DMO) of the common bile duct. Biliary drainage by Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with trans-papillary stent placement is the treatment of choice. ERCP has a failure rate ranging from 12 - 25 percent. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is the alternative conventional way to drain the biliary tree after ERCP failure, which is related with substantial morbidity (62%) and mortality (17%). Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a novel promising drainage modality with reported excellent outcomes in terms of clinical success and complications. The implementation of EUS-BD besides ERCP and PTBD into Dutch daily clinical practice raises many questions related to performance, costs, QoL, training, implementation and overall oncological treatment success. This structured learning/proctoring program with an additional national registry provides insights into EUS-BD and how to implement EUS-BD in the Dutch standard of care.
Rationale: Efficacy study (RCT) for glycosaminoglycan(GAG)-therapy for the indication bladder pain syndrome / interstitial cystitis with Hunner lesion subtype (BPS-IC H+). reason for this study is a current lack of evidence regarding its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Main objective is to determine short and long term efficacy of GAG therapy (bladder instillations) for people with BPS-IC H+ as compared to placebo treatment on dominant symptoms such as pain and Quality of Life (QOL)
A single arm intervention study examining ONS-flavour preference in cancer patients with and without taste alterations
The hepatic enzyme, cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is important for the metabolism of many drugs including taxanes. Previous reported studies reported a decreases in docetaxel exposure in prostate cancer patients compared to patients with other solid tumours. The difference was 1.8-fold for intravenous administration and 2.8-fold for oral administration. The underlying mechanism for these observations remains to be elucidated. The lower docetaxel exposure with IV and oral docetaxel treatment might be related to a higher CYP3A4 activity in prostate cancer patients. Therefore, it is important to directly compare the CYP3A4 activity with a phenotyping test in prostate cancer patients and patients with other types of solid tumours. This is an in vivo phenotyping studying using midazolam as a probe for CYP3A4 activity in patients with prostate cancer and patients with other solid tumours. The primary objective is the comparison of CYP3A4 activity in prostate cancer patients versus male patients with other types of solid tumours by use of an oral midazolam phenotyping test. Secondary objectives are: (1) measurement of plasma concentrations of midazolam and it's two primary metabolites (1'-hydroxy midazolam and 4'-hydroxy midazolam), (2) determination of the metabolite pharmacokinetics of midazolam. (3) retrospective assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP3A4. The exploratory objective is to differentiate between gastro-intestinal and hepatic CYP3A4 activity with oral and intravenous administration of midazolam.
Pancreas as well as Cholangiocarcinoma have a dismal prognosis at time of diagnosis, due to late onset of clinical symptoms, patients present with advance disease. Complete surgical resection is the only potential curative treatment, however only a small percentage is eligible for upfront total surgical resection due to extension into anatomical related important vascular structures. Neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy has become the standard treatment modality for non-primary resectable disease (borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)), where subsequent downstaging can make identification of the primary tumor more challenging during surgery. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging can aid surgeons by providing real-time visualization of tumors, suspect lymph nodes and vital structures during surgery. Additional intra-operative feedback could possibly reduce the frequency of positive resection margins and increase complete removal of locally spread tumor and involved lymph nodes and could thereby improve patient outcomes as well as overall survival. cRGD-ZW800-1 is a targeted NIR-fluorophore, with specific binding capacity for integrins (αvβ3, αvβ5, αvβ6) which are overexpressed on tumor cells and tumor-associated vascular endothelium associated with neoangiogenesis.
