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.
It is the clinical experience of the authors that some children with cerebral palsy who walk in crouch gait show sufficient knee extension during the clinical gait analysis, but walk in considerable knee flexion when they leave the gait laboratory. Possible differences between walking in a gait lab and walking in daily life may be caused by the effect of observational awareness in the lab (also known as the Hawthorne effect), and the lack of dual-tasks (DT) during the analysis (which are common during daily life walking). Since so far there is no technique to reliably measure gait kinematics in children with CP outside of the laboratory, the researchers aim to objectify the influence of both the Hawthorne effect and dual-tasks by introducing different conditions during a standard clinical 3D gait analysis.
Obesity and related disorders such as type 2 diabetes are a worldwide diet-related problem. As such new treatment options are constantly being developed. Bacteria living in the gut seem to be a key player in the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases by influencing energy balance and the immune system. In terms of newly identified bacteria species, Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has been found to be related to obesity. Several animal studies have shown the beneficial impact of A. muciniphila on the treatment of body weight as well as insulin sensitivity. The growth requirements of live A. muciniphila as well as its oxygen sensitivity rendered this bacterium unsuitable for human investigations or putative therapeutic opportunities. Therefore, pasteurization, a mild heating method, and its impact on diet-induced metabolic disorders in mice were investigated. Unexpectedly, this method of inactivation did not negate the effect of A. muciniphila, but improved its beneficial metabolic effects. Pilot studies have provided further evidence that pasteurization of A. muciniphila is safe for human use and has the potential to beneficially affect the control of body weight and glucose metabolism. In this project, The investigators hypothesize that pasteurized A. muciniphila will be superior to placebo intervention in maintaining body weight after a phase of weight loss (low caloric diet) in adult participants with overweight or obesity.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare, aggressive and life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation. ELA026 is a fully human IgG1 SIRP-directed monoclonal antibody designed to reduce the myeloid and T cells driving the inflammation. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ELA026 in participants with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
A prospective, single-arm, multi-center study designed to collect real world safety and performance data of the Adagio Medical iCLAS Cryoablation System in the treatment of drug refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF), Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (PsAF), and Atrial Flutter (AFL).
As the role of (neuro)inflammation in depression is emerging, augmentation of antidepressant treatments with anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib has shown encouraging preliminary results. However, inflammation is not present in all depressed patients. Depression is heterogeneous: patients express diverse and sometimes opposing symptoms and biological profiles. The investigators of the present trial recently introduced the concept of ImmunoMetabolic Depression (IMD), characterized by the clustering of inflammatory/metabolic dysregulations and atypical, energy-related symptoms (hyperphagia, weight gain, hypersomnia, fatigue and leaden paralysis), and present in approximately 30% of cases. Converging evidence suggests that in this subgroup of depression cases, inflammation may exert a crucial pathobiological mechanism, representing therefore an actionable therapeutic target. In this trial IMD will be applied as a tool to personalize treatment, by matching depressed subjects with IMD with a targeted anti-inflammatory add-on treatment. In this study, 140 persons with IMD will be selected. In this specific group of patients, the investigators will test whether celecoxib add-on (400 mg/d) is more effective than placebo in the treatment of depression through a 12-week double-blind, randomized (1:1), placebo-controlled trial. By selecting specifically depressed patients with IMD, the proposed treatment selectively targets key inflammatory pathophysiological pathways to enhance clinical outcome for depression. This personalized approach is expected to lead to large health gains for a sizable proportion of patients. The main hypothesis is that the group of patients with IMD receiving TAU + celecoxib, as compared to the TAU + placebo, will show a better symptom course over the 12-week follow-up.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study comparing the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) efzofitimod 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg versus placebo after 48 weeks of treatment. This study will enroll adults with histologically confirmed pulmonary sarcoidosis receiving stable treatment with oral corticosteroid (OCS), with or without immunosuppressant therapy.
This is a FIH, phase I/II, open label, multi-center study of DYP688 as a single agent. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of DYP688 as a single agent in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) and other melanomas harboring GNAQ/11 mutations.
Evaluate the formation of adhesions after third-generation endometrial ablation, with and without the intrauterine adhesion barrier.
Patients and healthy controls will undergo cardiopulmonary exercises and testing of the muscles strength to gain additional understanding of exercise intolerance as Fabry disease (FD) manifestation. An additional needle muscle biopsy may be performed. Tissue analysis from this biopsy will include evaluation of the lipidomics profile and mitochondrial function. Results of the tests and any potential exercise intolerance will be compared against healthy, age-, sex- and BMI-matched volunteers. The hypothesis is that patients with FD will have reduced exercise capacity due to changes in skeletal and cardiac muscle energy metabolism.
