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.
This study will look at outcomes between Endobronchial Coil Treatment and Control groups in patients with severe heterogeneous and or homogeneous emphysema.
The objective of this natural history study is to gain a better understanding of the progression of choroideremia (CHM) and add to the knowledge base for this rare disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of action on target tissue level of anti Interleukine-17 (anti-IL-17) an therapy in peripheral spondyloarthritis. Patients will be treated with anti-IL-17 therapy (secukinumab) for 12 weeks and with a 2 year extension period thereafter. At week 0 and 12 peripheral blood, synovial tissue and skin will be analysed with different techniques, including immunohistochemistry, RNA analysis and tissue culture to assess the effect of the therapy on inflammatory pathways.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of BMS-986231 on systolic and diastolic parameters in patients with heart failure and low ejection fraction.
This study will assess safety and feasibility of bone marrow-derived allogeneic MSCs, administered by the nasal route, in neonates who suffered from PAIS.
Gastroparesis is a disorder triggered by numerous causes and it is defined by symptoms and with an objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying in the absence of obstruction. Effective treatment for gastroparesis is challenging especially in patients with severe symptoms. In refractory gastroparesis, endoscopic or surgical treatments may therefore be considered. Endoscopic treatments include intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin and transpyloric insertion of a metallic stent. Surgical options involve implantation of a gastric "pacemaker" (gastric stimulation), pyloroplasty and subtotal gastrectomy. Recently, a new endoscopic technique, gastric endoscopic per oral pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) has been introduced with promising preliminary results. The aim of this prospective, sham-controlled, cross-over study (cross-over for patients randomized to the sham arm) is to compare short and long-term efficacy and safety of G-POEM in patients with refractory gastroparesis. Symptoms and objective parameters of gastric emptying will be the main outcome criteria. The reason of using a sham protocol is to control for the potential confounders (therapeutic effects of touch and belief, which are components of the placebo effect).
XIENCE 28 Global Study is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to further evaluate the safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS, XIENCE PROX EECSS, XIENCE ProA EECSS or XIENCE Sierra EECSS of coronary drug-eluting stents
In this clinical trial we will investigate the diagnostic yield of a combination of commercially available imaging and navigation techniques for reaching peripheral lung lesions. The two investigated techniques will herein be the rEBUS imaging modality combined with electromagnetic based navigation. Confirmation of reaching the lung lesion will be by means of CT (fluoroscopic) imaging. Rapid On‐Site Evaluation (ROSE) of cytopathology will be used for obtaining a per‐procedural outcome on tissue biopsy representativeness. All data will be prospectively collected. In case tissue biopsy is found to be malignant or benign, it will be termed representative. In case tissue biopsy is found to be non‐representative (=blood, anatomical lung tissue, unreachable), conventional followup of CT guided TTNA, follow‐up monitoring and/or surgical biopsy will serve as golden standard for obtaining tissue diagnosis. For verification of reaching the target lesion, another study parameter of interest, (cb)CT imaging will be performed for verification that instruments are within the nodule (per‐procedurally available).
This study is designed to evaluate, for the first time in humans, safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of intra-articular (i.a.) injections of LRX712 into the knee of patients with moderate osteoarthritis (OA), in order to support the further clinical development. This study will also allow establishment of the systemic and local pharmacokinetics (PK) of LRX712 and the exploration of biomarkers of cartilage breakdown and regeneration in OA patients.
Despite current available analgesic drugs, post-surgical pain management remains challenging. A potential new target for analgesic drugs are group-II metabotropic glutamate receptors subtypes (mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors), since growing evidence from animal models show that activation of these receptors produce s analgesic effects in inflammatory and in neuropathic pain states. . N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a safe agent and with little to no side effects. NAC can induce analgesia by activating the glutamate:cystein antiporter, causing endogenous activation of the mGlu 2/3 receptors. However, this has only been investigated once in the peri-operative setting, were it showed preliminary promising result of reduction in opiate necessity. In healthy subjects there was a significant reduction in pain ratings to laser stimuli and amplitudes of laser evoked potentials after NAC. Based on these promising results, we hypothesize that pre emptive intravenous NAC can reduce postoperative pain and thereby cause less necessity for escape analgesics like opiates.
