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 narrow the gap between patients being diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and those being appropriately monitored and treated. For this purpose a prospective survey of current practice (3 months) will be conducted followed by a six month period of intervention during which a variety of quality improvements measures will be implemented. There will then be a 3 month follow-up period during which the legacy of this initiative will be monitored during which no intervention will be carried out.
BACKGROUND: The relation between gut microbiota and obesity originates from animal studies, showing that the change of gut microbiota can induce changes in both insulin resistance and body composition. In addition, these studies have shown changes in gut permeability inducing a pro-inflammatory state, changes in adipose tissue function and inflammation, effects on energy harvesting and metabolism, skeletal muscle fatty acid partitioning and fat oxidation. Human data is lacking, although several studies suggested that the composition of the gut microbiota differs between lean and obese, and between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. OBJECTIVE: To provide insight in the physiological significance and underlying mechanisms involved in the relation between gut microbiota, energy balance and insulin sensitivity in overweight men with impaired glucose homeostasis.
Visual acuity at near improves in children with Down syndrome using bifocals
The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the test product and the reference product are bioequivalent based on the pharmacokinetics after administration of ug/kg as a single intravenous dose and as a single subcutaneous dose of each of the formulations. The study is consisted of randomization, 2 parts, 4 treatments, 2 way cross over.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history and clinical management of Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) patients with recurring attacks.
The study is designed to compare the effects of 4 different doses of orally administered BI 409306 to placebo in patients with Alzheimers Disease
The purpose of the study is to investigate how tozadenant is absorbed, distributed, broken down and eliminated from the body. The compound to be administered will be radiolabeled. This enables the investigator to trace the compound in blood, urine, feces, expired air and track what happens to it.
The brain is primarily developed in the third trimester of pregnancy, but continues maturing through the late twenties, especially the prefrontal cortex. Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are important structural components of neural cell membranes, influence membrane fluidity and signal transduction, and thus learning, cognition and behaviour. Levels of omega-3 LCPUFA have been found to be low in individuals with limitations in these complex brain functions. Previous studies suggested that such functions could be improved by increasing LCPUFA. The adolescent brain, however, has been largely neglected. This study investigates the effect of one-year daily omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation, in particular krill oil, in healthy 14-15 year old adolescents in lower general secondary education (MAVO/VMBO) on learning, cognition, and behaviour. The majority of the omega-3 PUFA in krill oil is incorporated into phospholipids, favouring tissue uptake of its omega-3 PUFA. In a double blind, randomised controlled trial, 300 adolescents preselected from a population of 700 adolescents with low omega-3 index (<5%) will receive daily omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation or matching placebo. The omega-3 LCPUFA dose will be adjusted individually to reach a target level of 8-11%. The effects on learning (academic achievement, objective cognitive performance), behaviour (mood, self-esteem, motivation, goal-orientation, absenteeism), and in a subsample cognitive processes, in particular perceptual processes measured by eye-tracking will be evaluated after 6, 12, and 24 months. This study will yield important insights in the effects of omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation, a safe intervention, on a large variety of complex brain functions.
This is a phase 3, randomised, assessor-blinded, multi-centre trial comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a tailored PICOPREP dosing schedule to the day-before PICOPREP dosing schedule for colon cleansing in preparation for colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of ATYR1940 in the treatment of adult participants with molecularly defined genetic muscular dystrophies
