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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the MANTA Vascular Closure Device (VCD) to close the arteriotomy following percutaneous cardiovascular procedures utilizing large bore sheaths for purposes of supporting a CE Mark (Conformite Europeenne--"European Conformity") and other regulatory submissions. The study will assess whether the MANTA VCD is safe and performs as intended for large-bore vascular closure after interventional procedures.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending-dose, parallel-group study will evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of one week of RG7625 dosing in healthy male and female volunteers. Each participant will receive a single dose of RG7625 or placebo followed by one week of dosing with the same treatment. Each participant will also receive intradermal administration of 4 recall antigens at Screening and on Day 7 of treatment to assess study drug effects on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH).
Some studies have reported improved vascular function with the supplementation of L-arginine in participants with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several clinical studies have also begun the investigation of L-arginine supplementation in participants with peripheral artery disease (PAD). This is particularly important as currently there are limited options available to medically manage intermittent leg pain resulted from PAD. Although some of these short-term clinical trials suggested that oral L-arginine improved walking distance or improved walking speed in participants with PAD, these results were not consistent. Further, only 1% of the oral supplemented L-arginine is available for the NO production as the rest is metabolised by the body. A better way to provide the body with substrate to produce NO is therefore needed. The natural amino acid and food component, L-citrulline has been suggested to be a good candidate for this purpose. L-citrulline, named after watermelon citrullus vulgaris from which it was first isolated, is a natural precursor of L-arginine. Studies have shown that L-citrulline is metabolised by the body to a lesser degree compared to L-arginine and hence is an effective precursor of arginine in peripheral tissues, including endothelial cells. Oral L-citrulline supplementation also eliminates some of the unwanted effects associated with oral arginine supplementation and it is well tolerated without known side effects. In addition, L-citrulline is a supplement that is available over-the-counter. Thus, oral supplementation of L-citrulline may be a new intervention strategy in participants with PAD. The investigators hypothesize that the oral food supplement L-citrulline, unlike L-arginine, reverses endothelial dysfunction. In a multinational, multicenter, double blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled cross-over trial the effects of L-citrulline in peripheral artery disease will be investigated.
In the present study, the investigators will assess the impact of two different feeding patterns (continuous vs intermittent) on insulin sensitivity and muscle mass following bedrest.
Single-centre, prospective, randomized comparative study to compare the maximum flexion and Chair Raise achievement ratios of the Scorpio PS and and the Scorpio NRG PS. Documentation of all complications.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety from the mixture of daratumumab and rHuPH20 prepared immediately before administration via Subcutaneous (SC) delivery (Part 1) and CF (co-formulated daratumumab and rHuPH20 preparation) administration via SC delivery of daratumumab (Part 2) and to evaluate the safety of Dara-CF 1800 milligram (mg) SC delivery without pre-dose and post-dose corticosteroids (Part 3).
This study is testing the effectiveness of a dietary intervention by means of measuring the change in RQ upon a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp challenge and by means of measuring the kinetic responses of multiple PF markers (including RQ) to an acute mixed meal challenge before and after a 6-week dietary intervention. The challenges will be applied to investigate whether the kinetic response is a better measure for health and wellbeing when compared to fasting (baseline) levels. In addition, several measures that reflect perceivable benefits like mood, quality of life, sleep quality, cognitive and physical performance will be assessed in a first exploratory attempt to link (changes in) PF to consumer perceivable benefits. Subjects will be randomly allocated to a low glycemic load diet or a 'Western' diet for 6 weeks. Before and after the intervention several measurements will take place. The low glycemic load diet will be high in polyphenols, protein, vegetables, pulses, fibres and nuts, and low in glycemic carbohydrates. All these dietary factors have been shown to improve glycemic control and/or to reduce metabolic syndrome risk factors.
Currently, two ICU delirium prediction models are available: the PRE-DELIRIC model and the early prediction model (E-PRE-DELRIC). However, the use of these prediction models is not yet implemented as standard in clinical practice, as it is unknown which delirium prediction model can best be used to predict delirium in ICU patients.Therefore the main aim of this study is to compare the performance of the PRE-DELIRIC model and the E-PRE-DELRIC model.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a top-down treatment approach, prescribing infliximab (IFX) and azathioprine (AZA) at diagnose, yields better outcome in comparison to the usual step-up treatment approach, starting with prednison and AZA or exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) and AZA, in moderate-to-severe pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients.
The aim of the study is to obtain an understanding of relevant parameters affecting the performance of ostomy products.
