There are about 13167 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 is an OLE study conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical effects of WVE-004 in adult patients with ALS, FTD, or mixed ALS/FTD phenotype with a documented mutation in the C9orf72 gene. To participate in the study, patients must have successfully completed Phase 1b/2a WVE-004-001 study.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke or systemic embolism (blood clots travelling through the blood stream to plug another vessel). Atrial fibrillation is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. It can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart which can travel through the blood stream to plug another vessel, and like this lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from atrial fibrillation can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs) including apixaban. OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data about how well asundexian works to prevent stroke and systemic embolism and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with atrial fibrillation and at high risk for stroke. To see how well the study treatment asundexian works researchers compare: - how long asundexian works well and - how long apixaban works well after the start of the treatment. Working well means that the treatments can prevent the following from happening: - stroke and/or - systemic embolism. The study will keep collecting data until a certain number of strokes or embolisms happen in the study. To see how safe asundexian is, the researchers will compare how often major bleedings occur after taking the study treatments asundexian and apixaban, respectively. Major bleedings are bleedings that have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, A and B. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take the study treatment asundexian by mouth once a day or apixaban by mouth twice a day for approximately 9 - 33 months. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 - 34 months. There will be visits to the study site every 3 to 6 months and up to 7 phone calls. Those participants who do not want or are unable to have visits to the study site may join the study remotely in selected locations. The location name contains the abbreviation - DCT in such cases. During the study, the study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do pregnancy tests - ask the participants questions about their quality of life - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
End-stage KOA results in limitations in activities of daily life (ADL), work and leisure. Treatment for KOA is a stepped care process starting with a conservative approach and in which joint replacement surgery can be considered as the last step. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is regarded as the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA). In 2020, 19.501 TKA surgeries were performed in The Netherlands, end-stage KOA being (97%) the most common reason for surgery. Until now no risk inventory prediction models have been made for the prediction of physical function at six weeks after TKA. These models may help to distinguish between having a high risk or low risk on a delayed recovery of physical function at six weeks after TKA. This could be beneficial for patients with a high risk. Because than the perioperative process of this patientgroup can be optimized and improved.
Rationale: It is well established that tobacco use has severe health consequences. The prevalence of Tobacco Use Disorder (TUD) is among the highest in populations with Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Despite behavioral and pharmacological treatment options, relapse rates remain high. Therefore, there is a need for additional smoking cessation treatment options that aid long-term abstinence. A potential interesting intervention is addiction-focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (AF-EMDR) therapy. However, the limited research on AF-EMDR therapy and mixed findings thus far prohibit clinical use. Recently, on the basis of diverse findings thus far, an adjusted AF-EMDR protocol has been developed.
COVID 19-pneumonia may evolve into respiratory insufficiency for which invasive mechanical ventilation is required. Recently, inhaled anesthetics have become available for sedation of critically ill patients. Based upon recent research, these anesthetics may provide advantages in improvement of P/F ratio in ARDS patients. However, up to now, its effects on COVID-19 pneumonia patients is unknown; therefore, this study was designed as a plan to investigate whether the use of inhaled sevoflurane leads to improvement of oxygenation compared to intravenous sedatives in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients
This is a phase 1b, open label, non-randomized, sequential dose-escalation, multicenter trial in adult patients with chronic cold urticaria.
SUSPECT is a prospective, single-center, cohort study of 250 military aircrew at the Center for Man in Aviation, Royal Netherlands Air Force. All asymptomatic aircrew (≥40 years) are asked to undergo a coronary CT scan on a voluntary basis, following the exercise electrocardiograms performed at their routine aeromedical examination. Coronary Artery Calcium score (CACS) and CCTA findings are reported.
A multicenter, randomized controlled trial with an embedded pilot and qualitative component to investigate the effects of the Nori Health app.
Dedicated breast computed tomography (BCT) is being developed as a new x-ray based tomographic breast imaging method for early breast cancer detection and/or diagnosis. BCT results in isotropic high spatial resolution three-dimensional (3D) images coupled with high contrast resolution. It is hypothesized that BCT imaging used as a replacement of the additional mammographic views during diagnostic work-up will improve the accuracy of clinical standard diagnostic work-up.
