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.
Chronic fatigue is highly prevalent in patients with conditions characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, also known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Chronic fatigue has multiple causes, including alterations in immune system or gut microbiota, psychological factors, and sleeping problems. Unsurprisingly, fatigue has been associated with decreased quality of life, general well-being, and work productivity. Very few patients experience resolution in fatigue, emphasizing the need for new therapies. It has been shown that lifestyle interventions can improve most of fatigue-driving factors. Hence, the investigators hypothesize that a multimodal lifestyle intervention focusing on nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise will improve chronic fatigue in patients with IBD. During this multicenter, controlled trial, the investigators will compare a multimodal lifestyle intervention to a standard therapy (i.e., an informational brochure on how to cope with chronic fatigue).
Prospective, single-arm, observational study with invasive coronary physiology measurements before and after transcatheter left-sided valvular intervention.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the long-term safety of efgartigimod IV and efgartigimod PH20 SC administered to participants with gMG in the antecedent studies, ARGX-113-2006 and ARGX-113-2207, respectively.
Rationale: Sodium glucose co transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a relatively new class of agents, originally developed as oral antihyperglycemic drugs. SGLT2 inhibitors are clinically available since 2012 for the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Later, SGLT2 inhibitors appeared to have also specific reno- and cardioprotective effects. Remarkably, the trials that have been performed thus far excluded patients with an eGFR below 25 mL/min/1.73m2 at inclusion, prevalent dialysis patients, and kidney transplant recipients. This is unfortunate, because especially these patients are at high risk of reaching kidney failure requiring dialysis, cardiovascular complications and mortality, whereas there are only few proven effective therapies. There is emerging evidence from experimental studies and post hoc-analyses of randomized clinical trials that SGLT2 inhibitors may also be effective in preventing cardiovascular and mortality outcomes in these patients with severe CKD, including patients receiving dialysis or living with a kidney transplant. For instance, subgroup analysis of the DAPA-CKD trial comparing 624 patients with an eGFR<30 to the remainder of the trial population with better kidney function, demonstrated that the efficacy of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in reducing cardiovascular, heart failure and renal outcomes persisted in the population with impaired kidney function. Furthermore, in the DAPA-CKD trial patients continued to use dapagliflozin or placebo when dialysis was initiated. In the subgroup of patients who initiated dialysis, dapagliflozin was associated with a relative risk reduction for mortality of 21%. Finally, in kidney transplant recipients, SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to be effective in lowering HbA1c, body weight, blood pressure and stabilize kidney function, and these agents were well tolerated and safe. Taken these findings together there is a sound rationale to study the long-term reno- and cardioprotective efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with severe CKD. There are two cardiac sub-studies: the cardiac MRI substudy and the echocardiography sub-study. The echocardiography sub-study is referred to as the "SGLT-2-inhibitors to Target Heart Failure in Peritoneal Dialysis" (STOP HF in PD) study. In STOP HF in PD the effect of dapagliflozin on cardiac function will be assessed in a subset of 100 patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.
The prospective and retrospective data collection on bone and soft tissue sarcoma is an observational cohort study aimed to collect clinical data and patient reported outcomes of all patients who have been diagnosed with bone or soft tissue sarcoma in the Netherlands. All patients diagnosed with bone or soft tissue sarcoma who are treated, planned for treatment or currently being treated, will be asked to participate in this project.
The AFFIRM trial tests the safety and clinical feasibility of MR-guided hypofractionated focal boost radiotherapy for patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. External beam radiotherapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy is considered as the treatment of choice for patients with locally advanced non-metastatic prostate cancer with seminal vesicle invasion.The long-term results of the multicentre phase III study (FLAME trial) showed that addition of an isotoxic focal boost to the intraprostatic lesion improves biochemical disease free survival in intermediate to high-risk patients without impacting toxicity and quality of life. This focal boost strategy is now proven for a conventional fractionation scheme (35 fractions). The current trend in radiotherapy for prostate cancer is (extreme) hypofractionation, reducing the number of fractions. For locally advanced prostate cancer, however, the data on extreme hypofractionation are scarce.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive formation of renal cysts which ultimately lead to a loss of renal function. Tolvaptan (a V2R antagonist) is currently the only effective treatment for preserving renal function in ADPKD. However, side-effects such as polyuria limit its tolerability and thereby the therapeutic potential. This study will test whether co-administration with hydochlorothiazide can improve V2RA efficacy (slowing kidney function decline) and tolerability (quality of life) in ADPKD. Approximately 300 patients will be enrolled.
Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Multicenter, Phase 2a Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Oral AMT-101 in Combination With Adalimumab in Subjects with Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis.
In modern life, many people state to experience stress. Women compared to men report more and higher levels of stress. Recent research found that supplementation of galactose-oligosaccharides (GOS) resulted in reduced anxiety levels in British female students with higher anxiety scores at baseline in self-reported trait anxiety. Moreover, supplementation of probiotics in germ-free rodents resulted in reduced levels of circulating corticosterone (cortisol in humans). These findings illustrate the potential of prebiotic supplementation, through the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis, to improve mental health and wellbeing. The present study aims to study the effect of oligosaccharides on self-perceived stress.
This is a Phase 2/3, multiregional, two-arm, double-blind, randomized, active (standard-of-care)-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an investigational central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). Participants may also qualify to enter an open-label treatment phase with DNL310 or idursulfase based on pre-specified criteria.
