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 aims to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) of RYZ101 in Part 1, and the safety, efficacy, and PK of RYZ101 compared with investigator-selected standard of care (SoC) therapy in Part 2 in subjects with inoperable, advanced, well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor expressing (SSTR+) gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that have progressed following treatment with Lutetium 177-labelled somatostatin analogue (177Lu-SSA) therapy, such as 177Lu-DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATOC (177Lu-DOTATATE/TOC), or 177Lu-high affinity [HA]-DOTATATE.
The main purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate a 6-valent OspA-based Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) for prevention of Lyme disease within North America and Europe. Approximately 9,400 healthy participants (this number excludes participants from 8 sites which were terminated for quality issues) 5 years and older will be recruited from areas with high levels of endemic Lyme disease to receive VLA15 or placebo (an inactive substance consisting of saltwater). Each participant will have about a 50% chance of receiving VLA15 and about a 50% chance of receiving placebo. A subset of participants will receive VLA15 from 3 different lots or placebo (1:1:1:3 ratio) to assess lot equivalence. Participants will receive a 3-dose primary vaccination series at about 0, 2, and 5 to 9 months and then receive a booster dose about 12 months after end of primary vaccination series. Vaccination of participants will occur at a time of year such that the primary series is completed before the peak Lyme disease season followed by a booster dose just prior to the beginning of the second Lyme disease season. A subset of participants will be followed for a third Lyme disease season. Comparison will be made between the Lyme disease cases of people receiving the study vaccine to those of the people who are not. This will help us determine if the study vaccine is safe and effective. If enrolled, participants will need to visit the research site at least 7 times during the study, and for a subset of participants up to 9 times. There will also be at least 5 telephone contacts. It is expected that each participant will take part in this study for up to about 2 and a half years. The subset of participants followed for a third Lyme disease season will take part in this study for up to about to 3 and a half years.
Currently, transvaginal cervical length measurement is used to screen in asymptomatic pregnant women with a history of PTB. In symptomatic women, presenting with threatened PTB cervical length in combination with the fibronectin test is used to identify women at high risk to deliver preterm. However, the predictive capacity of transvaginal cervical length measurement is limited. In pregnant women with a history of PTB, it only identifies a proportion of women who will have recurrent PTB. For symptomatic women, 30-60% of these women admitted to the hospital, do not deliver within seven days, leading to overtreatment of these women. Cervical softening is precursor of cervical shortening, effacement and dilatation and therefore cervical softening is a promising new marker that is based on tissue elasticity. However, the predictive value of cervical softening and the relation with spontaneous PTB still has to be determined. With the newly developed Pregnolia® System cervical softness could be measured on a standardized and safe manner. This study could help to improve care for women with a history of spontaneous PTB.
A multicenter, randomized controlled trial with an embedded pilot and qualitative component to investigate the effects of the Nori Health app.
A randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel, double-blind trial with three intervention arms and a period of four intervention-weeks that assesses the intake of different dosages of a complex fiber product on bowel function via microbiota changes in subjects that are unsatisfied with their current bowel function.
Rationale: Investigate if there is a significant weight reduction expressed in total body weight loss percentage (%TBWL) in patients 5 years after surgery, whom underwent a mini gastric bypass (MGB-OAGB) with addition of the implantation of a MiniMizer Ring. Study design: A prospective non blinded single centre randomized controlled trial. Sudy population: The study population will exist of patients eligible for MGB-OAGB surgery. Patients are invited to participate if Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 35kg/m2 with a comorbidity related to morbid obesity, or a BMI exceeding 40kg/m2. Intervention: Insertion of the MiniMizer Ring around the gastric pouch in addition to the 'standard' MGB-OAGB. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary Objective: 1. %TBWL 5 years after surgery. Secondary Objectives: 2. Percentage Excess Weight Loss (%EWL) 5 years after surgery. 3. Decrease or reduction of comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnoea, and joint complaints). 4. Improvement of quality of life: SF-36 and OBESI-Q questionnaires. 5. Incidence and severity of dumping syndrome. 6. Incidence and severity of reflux symptoms: GERD-HRQoL questionnaire. 7. Incidence and complications due to silicone band. Measurement of objectives are before surgery and six times after surgery combined with the standard postoperative care for patients who undergo bariatric surgery: Expected advantages of bOLGB versus OLGB: 1. Increase of weight reduction, and due to that decrease of comorbidities and/or mortality related to overweight. 2. Long term decrease of weight regain. 3. Decrease of incidence of dumping. Possible disadvantages of bOLGB versus OLGB: 1. Band-related complications such as erosion, infection, stenosis, or pouch dilatation. 2. Functional gastro-intestinal complains such as dysphagia and reflux.
Eighty percent of the Dutch population has completed a primary COVID-19 vaccination regimen, and 60% of the population received a booster vaccination. Waning immunity, combined with the emergence of antigenically distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants, has led to the consideration of additional booster vaccinations in the Dutch population by autumn 2022. However, despite efforts of the Dutch policymakers, the public's willingness to repeatedly receive COVID-19 booster vaccinations is declining. This is mainly due to a reduced burden of disease by COVID-19, fewer hospitalizations, and fewer deaths. However, population immunity might be one of the major factors responsible for this reduced burden of disease, possibly emphasizing the need for booster vaccinations. In this proposal we will address an important question asked by policymakers: "Are booster vaccinations in autumn recommended for the healthy population?"
This is an investigator-initiated, single-center, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and PK of the PET tracer [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 in patients prior to and during treatment.
This study will assess the coadministration of genetically attenuated Plasmodium falciparum ∆mei2 (GA2) sporozoites with adjuvants (BCG and YF-17D vaccination and imiquimod cream). Primary outcomes will be safety, tolerability and protective efficacy against CHMI.
In patients with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), significant external compression of the coeliac artery (CA) by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) increasing mucosal ischemia (1,2) is assumed to cause chronic disabling postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and consequently lethargy and social deprivation (3,8). The majority of these patients have had a long medical journey before the diagnosis MALS is considered resulting in a substantial burden of disease and high healthcare and societal costs. Although a Systematic Review have shown a sustainable symptom relief of 68% and a significant and durable improvement of quality of life after surgical treatment for MALS (4), there is still no (inter)national consensus on the existence and treatment of MALS (1, 5, 6, 7). Two recent guidelines (3, 8) concluded that patients with MALS might be considered for surgical CA release (Recommendation 25 GRADE 2D; expert agreement 96%, Terlouw 2020). To end the ongoing debate and to enable the development of evidence-based guidelines for the management of MALS, both guideline committees recommend to perform a blinded, randomised controlled trial comparing a CA release with a sham operation. The proposed Coeliac Artery Release or Sham Operation study will either underline the usefulness of eCAR as a minimal invasive (cost)effective treatment for MALS or it will prohibit a meaningless intervention in patients with disabling abdominal symptoms. If the CARoSO study proves that the treatment of MALS by eCAR is effective, to 490 patients with chronic disabling abdominal symptoms per year can be treated in the Netherlands. Effective treatment of MALS is expected to result in mean health gain of 6.05 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)/patient and has the potency to reduce the substantial productivity loss and healthcare consumption caused by MALS, resulting in a saving up to M€4.3/year. The outcome of the CARoSO study will be translated into strong recommendations in the coming updates of the relevant (inter)national multidisciplinary guidelines and will be adapted in daily practice.
