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.
The investigators recently observed that up to 25% of women with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) have moderate to severe Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). In this study, the investigators aim to estimate the prevalence of RLS among women with ALD and to assess whether pramipexole improves RLS symptoms as well as sleep and gait measures in women with ALD.
This multicentre randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate a new breast reconstruction technique- autologous fat transfer (AFT). Female patients with breast cancer schedule to receive a mastectomy (or having undergone mastectomy in the past) will be randomized to undergo breast reconstruction with either AFT with the EVEBRA device(intervention group) or AFT without the EVEBRA device (control group). AFT will be evaluated in terms of volume, quality of life, aesthetic result, complications and oncological safety.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effects of stimulating the splenic neurovascular bundle (NVB) with the Galvani System, which consists of a lead, implantable pulse generator, external components and accessories. The study will consist of 4 study periods, including a Randomized Control Trial period (Period 1), an Open Label period (Period 2), a Treat-to-target period (Period 3), and a Long-term Follow-up period (Period 4). Participants eligible for implant will have active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have an inadequate response or intolerance to at least two biologic Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) or JAK inhibitors (JAKis). A sufficient number of participants will be enrolled so that approximately 28 participants will undergo device implantation.
The immune system helps protect the body from diseases. But, sometimes the immune system can be too sensitive and overreact to very small allergens, like dust and pet dander. This can cause skin conditions like dermatitis and eczema. People with these skin conditions have inflammation that can cause dry, red, and itchy skin. These symptoms often "flare up", meaning that the symptoms come back after being gone for some time. Researchers are looking for a different way to treat people who have skin conditions caused by an overreaction of the immune system. Before a treatment is available to all patients, researchers study it in trials to better understand its safety and how well it works. In this trial, the researchers will learn more about how BAY1834845 and BAY1830839 work and how safe they are in healthy male participants. The trial will include about 72 healthy male participants who are between the ages of 18 and 55. The researchers will use a computer program to randomly choose the treatment each participant will take. This will help make sure the treatments are chosen fairly. Researchers do this so that comparing the results of the treatments is accurate as possible. The participants will be randomly put into 1 of 4 groups. The participants will take their trial treatment 2 times a day for 7 days in a row. - Group 1: BAY1834845 as tablets by mouth - Group 2: BAY1830839 as tablets by mouth - Group 3: A placebo as tablets by mouth - Group 4: Prednisolone as tablets by mouth A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. Prednisolone is a steroid treatment that is already available for doctors to prescribe to people with skin conditions caused by an overreaction of the immune system. All the participants will also receive imiquimod applied as a cream to their back. All participants will also receive lipopolysaccharide as an intravenous infusion. Imiquimod and lipopolysaccharide will be used to cause irritation and inflammation of the skin and in the blood. The researchers want to see if treatment with BAY1834845 and BAY1830939 can then help reduce these symptoms of irritation and inflammation. In this trial, the researchers will look at: - the change in the amount of blood flow in the participants after imiquimod - the change in how red the participants' skin is after imiquimod - the change in the amount of inflammation applying the participants have after receiving lipopolysaccharide infusion
MANTRA is a prospective, multiple-arm, multi-center, global, post-market clinical follow-up study. The main objective is to monitor ongoing safety and performance of the CORCYM devices and accessories used for aortic, mitral and tricuspid valvular diseases in a real-world setting. Corcym S.r.l., is a medical device manufacturer with a broad product portfolio for cardiac surgeons, offering solutions for the treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve disease. The MANTRA Master Plan (Master Protocol) is intended as an overarching Umbrella Protocol that allows multiple sub-studies to be added, as needed. The Umbrella Master Protocol concept offers an excellent solution to provide post-marketing clinical follow-up information on the entire cardiac surgery heart valve portfolio of the sponsor in a common database, including corelab assessment of hemodynamic and structural performance, annular motion and Dynamics for one of the products. Currently, three sub-studies are planned: - MANTRA - Aortic Sub-Study - MANTRA - Mitral/Tricuspid Sub-Study (Excluding Memo 4D) - MANTRA - Memo 4D Sub-Study
SEEDS is a multicenter 24-month citizen science (CS) cluster randomized controlled study, with interventions conducted in four European countries acting as pilot sites: 1) Greece, 2) The Netherlands, 3) Spain and 4) The United Kingdom. This project will merge CS and traditional approaches and will target high schools located in deprived neighborhoods. The methodology, that combines CS and traditional science, could build effective cooperation between science and society to empower adolescents from low-income environments to adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent obesity, increase their interest in science and improve their critical thinking.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of emapalumab in children and adults with macrophage activation syndrome (sHLH/MAS) in Still's disease (including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult onset Still's disease) or with sHLH/MAS in systemic lupus erythematous, resenting an inadequate response to high dose glucocorticoid treatment.
Lung transplantation is a life-saving option in patients with end-stage lung disease. The introduction of calcineurin inhibitors has significantly improved long-term outcome in lung transplantation. The most frequently used calcineurin inhibitor as maintenance therapy is immediate release tacrolimus, dosed twice daily, which has shown to reduce both acute and chronic rejection. However, a drawback to the administration of tacrolimus is its toxicity. Especially progressive renal toxicity, new onset diabetes and hypertension contribute to the high cardiovascular burdon in this patient group. Since a few years an once daily extended release tacrolimus has been introduced in solid organ transplantation. The advantage of extended release tacrolimus is its prolonged release and higher bioavailability than other tacrolimus formulations. This result in lower peaks, more stable serum levels over 24 hours, and less fluctuation of blood concentrations. Long-term toxicity outcome of extended release tacrolimus after lung transplantation has not been studied so far. Therefore the potential benefit of exteded release tacrolimus in de novo and stable post-lung transplant recipients should be investigated.
To determine if the use of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Computer Tomography (PSMA PET/CT) as a selection tool for performing extended lymph node dissection (ePLND) for prostate cancer (PCa) in the primary staging setting results in fewer ePLND procedures and therefore lower overall healthcare costs, lower patient burden in terms of intervention-related complications and morbidity, with comparable disease prognosis, compared to the current European Guideline-recommended standard practice which includes performing ePLND in PCa patients who are candidates for active treatment with a nomogram-calculated lymph node involvement (LNI) risk >5%.
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a devastating progressive muscle dystrophy. There is no treatment. FSHD is generally characterized by asymmetrical weakness and wasting of facial, shoulder girdle and upper arm muscles followed by weakness of muscles of the trunk and lower extremities, but disease severity varies widely between patients. Relatively long periods of stability are interspersed with short periods of potentially steep decline, leading overall to a slow but unpredictable rate of progression. Different genotypes underlying FSHD have been identified, but they result in highly similar phenotypes and at the molecular level converge on undue expression of the transcription factor, DUX4, in skeletal muscle, which is thought to (ultimately) lead to muscle wasting due to inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. There is no approved treatment, although various companies are engaged in FSHD drug discovery and development aimed in particular at reducing DUX4 expression. Multiple treatment options are currently under development in both preclinical and early clinical stages. However, these efforts face significant challenges in the path to regulatory approval. Because of the slow and variable rate of progression of FSHD, evidencing a significant treatment response will be cumbersome using only the existing measurements of muscle function. The successful development of these investigative treatments for FSHD is therefore highly dependent on the availability of validated disease and treatment biomarkers to monitor disease progression and response to treatment, respectively. To date, no such validated biomarkers exist. This study is important for four reasons: 1. Clinical testing of FSHD drug candidates requires the availability of clinical biomarkers that (a) change relatively rapidly over time; (b) allow for identification of fast progressors; and (c) correlate with "gold standard", but slowly changing, clinical severity and/or functional scores. This study is a first step in that direction as it seeks to explore if the investigational digital technologies described below are able to generate single or composite variables that (cross-sectionally) distinguish FSHD patients from controls. If identified, such variables will be tested as putative clinical FSHD biomarkers in a follow-up longitudinal study with FSHD patients. 2. Patient testimonies indicate that living with FSHD means living with pain, fatigue, social isolation, and anxiety about the future. This study provides the first-ever opportunity to gather objective, real-world data about the impact of FSHD on daily life. 3. Regulators have already indicated that Real-World Data (RWD) is a top strategic priority for their drug reviews. This study aims to fill this gap by gathering RWD about the physical and social activities of FSHD patients in comparison with controls. This way we aim to find (composite) scores that correlate with selected severity and functional scores and additionally distinguish FSHD patients from controls. 4. This study offers an opportunity to expand the spectrum of diseases in which RWD may be used as (a basis for) clinical outcome measures. A successful outcome of this study may support testing the MORE platform in other muscular dystrophies as well.
