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.
Intravenous administration of esketamine is an effective recognized therapeutic option in refractory pain in CRPS, which sometimes in at least a part of the patients has a prolonged therapeutic effect. Unfortunately, CRPS literature contains a wide range of ketamine dosing regimens with the result that clinical protocols on dosage and administration are very heterogeneous. The current esketamine regimen in Erasmus MC consists of a 6-day hospital admission for continuous administration. In the Netherlands, both inpatient and outpatient esketamine treatments are offered. Inpatient and outpatient ketamine treatments have never been compared in randomized controlled trials and it is therefore unknown whether these two dosing regimens are equally effective. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of experimental esketamine administration of 6x 1 day per 2 weeks (in total 3 months) as compared with standard esketamine administration of 1x 6 consecutive days. The end of study is at 6 months after the start of the study/treatment.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rusfertide in subjects with polycythemia vera (PV) in maintaining hematocrit control and in improving symptoms of PV.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis for which single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) is indicated if patients are stable. Recently dual pathway inhibition (DPI) by combining a low-dose factor Xa inhibitor (rivaroxaban2.5mg twice daily) with a single platelet inhibitor (ASA) has been demonstrated to be beneficial in treating CAD. The exact mechanisms underlying the benefits of DPI, are not completely understood. CAD is characterised by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, where monocytes from CAD patients have a higher immune responsiveness to ex vivo stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) compared to healthy matched controls. Surprisingly, the investigators have recently observed an elevation in ex vivo immune responsiveness to LPS stimulation when switching from ASA monotherapy to DPI of ASA combined with rivaroxaban inpatients with peripheral arterial disease (n=11; unpublished). Remarkably this was associated with no changes in systemic inflammation, as determined by Olink proteomics analysis. These findings suggest that factor Xa inhibitors can enhance immune cell responsiveness despite being clinically beneficial to CAD. The exact mechanisms contributing to the observed increased immune responsiveness remain unexplored.
The current study investigates the effects of SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin on uric acid excretion.
To describe the accuracy of FAPI PET/CT in the detection of regional lymph node metastases in patients with colorectal cancer in comparison with standard diagnostic imaging and (in operated patients) histopathology, aiming to provide early evidence of the diagnostic value of FAPI PET/CT.
There is lack of attention to preoperative cognitive function and delirium in elderly who underwent surgery. The investigators are investigating different tools that can help to screen for cognitive dysfunction and delirium in the future.
This study will test the safety of a drug called SGN-PDL1V alone and with pembrolizumab in participants with solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. Participants will have solid tumor cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). This study will have four parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN- PDL1V should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in Parts A and B to find out how safe SGN-PDL1V is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers. In Part D, participants will be given SGN-PDL1V with pembrolizumab to find out how safe this combination is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Mortality is high and survivors frequently suffer from long-term sequelae. Extracellular histones have been identified as essential mediators in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock. These toxic molecules are released by damaged cells in response to infection and high extracellular levels can induce tissue injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Extracellular histones can be neutralized by complexation with the new candidate drug called M6229, a non-anticoagulant heparin, allowing the use of elevated dose levels relative to regular unfractionated heparin. This project aims at the roll-out of a first-in-man clinical study in sepsis patients evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of intravenously administered M6229 in subjects suffering from sepsis.
This is a Phase 3, open-label, international, multicenter study of CGT9486 in combination with sunitinib. This is a multi-part study that will enroll approximately 426 patients. Part 1 consists of two evaluations: 1) confirming the dose of an updated formulation of CGT9486 to be used in subsequent parts in approximately 20 patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy for GIST and 2) evaluating for drug-drug interactions between CGT9486 and sunitinib in approximately 18 patients who have received at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for GISTs. The second part of the study will enroll approximately 388 patients who are intolerant to, or who failed prior treatment with imatinib only and will compare the efficacy of CGT9486 plus sunitinib to sunitinib alone with patients being randomized in a 1:1 manner.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes are effective measures to reduce recurrent ischemic events in post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. However, participation rates in CR programmes following myocardial infarction remain low and their long-term effects are uncertain. Home-based CR in combination with novel innovative e-Health applications could overcome barriers to accessibility and participation. Rehab+, a mobile cardiac rehabilitation (mCR) programme co-created with patients and rehabilitation centres, is designed to future-proof CR and to make CR more accessible to patients. Moreover, Rehab+ will be offered for 12 consecutive months after myocardial infarction and could therefore result in greater sustained effects. This prospective, investigator-initiated, multicentre, matched control, observational trial intends to enroll 900 post-ACS patients. Subjects following ACS will be enrolled in the hospital if they meet all the eligibility criteria. Each subject will be able to choose between one of the 2 treatment groups, i.e. 12 months of mCR or 6-8 weeks of traditional centre-based CR. The follow-up for each subject will take 12 months for both groups. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether mCR programme result in better sustained effects on physical, mental and social outcomes in post-ACS patients, as compared to post-ACS patients who follow the traditional CR programme. The main hypothesis is that mCR is expected to result in greater improvement in Quality of Life at 12 months as compared to traditional CR.
