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.
Morbid obesity is an increasing medical problem in the western countries. It's related to comorbidities as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, OSAS, arthrosis and hypercholesterolemia. The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is an effective surgical therapy for morbidly obese patients. A part of these patients will have disappointing results, and have weight regain on the long term. Some studies show more weight reduction by increasing the biliopancreatic limb in patients with morbid obesity. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a restrictive/extended pouch on weight reduction in morbidly obese patients undergoing RYGB-surgery. We hypothesize that the restrictive/extended pouch results in more weight reduction. The study design is a prospective, randomized control trial. The patients will be randomized in 2 groups: a standard RYGB (normal pouch) and restrictive/extended pouch RYGB.
This prospective database has two main objectives; - to evaluate the complication rates, 30-day and 90-day mortality from different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline resectable or initially unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. - to establish baseline quality parameters for different surgical strategies for unresectable, borderline and initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and potential for CFZ533 to replace calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), while providing a similar rate of acute rejection prophylaxis and renal function in a de novo renal transplant population receiving an allograft from standard criteria donors.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of laquinimod as treatment in participants with HD after 52 weeks using the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale Total Motor Score (UHDRS-TMS or TMS).
The objective is to study the effectiveness of supplementing a standard hospital and 12-week home menu with protein-enriched Cater with Care products in reaching a protein intake of 1,2-1,5 g/kg body weight/day and in improving functional status after hospital stay in elderly patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volanesorsen given for 52 weeks in participants with Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of single and multiple once daily doses of 50 milligram (mg) of JNJ-54861911 on pharmacokinetics (PK) (study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of caffeine, midazolam, and tolbutamide in healthy male participants.
Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Whereas the diagnosis is based on an increase and/or decrease in the concentrations of cardiac troponins with at least one value above the 99th percentile value of the reference population together with the evidence of ischemia, serial sampling is needed. Knowledge of the variation in cardiac troponin levels over time in individuals in a normal rest state (not during an acute myocardial infarction), also called the biological variation, is important regarding the interpretation of the serial cardiac troponin levels. A recent study by our group showed a circadian rhythm in cardiac troponin levels. This circadian rhythm is important regarding the interpretation of the serial cardiac troponin levels. Increased cTnI and cTnT concentrations are common in subjects with renal impairment. The mechanism of the elevated concentration of cTn in these subjects is still unclear. It is hypothesized that impaired renal clearance contributes to elevated levels of cTn. However, it is not clear whether renal function affects the biological variation and circadian rhythm of cTn. The monitoring of the biological variation and circadian rhythm of cTn in subjects with impaired renal function creates the opportunity to assess the effect of renal clearance on the circadian rhythm of cardiac troponins.
The research aims of the CENTER-TBI study are to: 1. better characterize Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a disease and describe it in a European context, and 2. identify the most effective clinical interventions for managing TBI. Specific aims 1. To collect high quality clinical and epidemiological data with repositories for neuro-imaging, DNA, and serum from patients with TBI. 2. To refine and improve outcome assessment and develop health utility indices for TBI. 3. To develop multidimensional approaches to characterisation and prediction of TBI. 4. To define patient profiles which predict efficacy of specific interventions ("Precision Medicine"). 5. To develop performance indicators for quality assurance and quality improvement in TBI care. 6. To validate the common data elements (CDEs) for broader use in international settings, and to develop a user-friendly web based data entry instrument and case report form builder. 7. To develop an open database compatible with Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR). 8. To intensify networking activities and international collaborations in TBI. 9. To disseminate study results and management recommendations for TBI to health care professionals, policy makers and consumers, aiming to improve health care for TBI at individual and population levels. 10. To develop a "knowledge commons" for TBI, integrating CENTER-TBI outputs into systematic reviews.
The study purpose is: - To assess the incidence of FVIII inhibitory antibodies during 6 months of twice weekly prophylactic treatment with BAX 855 or 50 exposure days (EDs), whichever occurs last. - To compare pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters to ADVATE. - To assess hemostatic efficacy in prophylaxis and the treatment of bleeding episodes. - To evaluate safety and immunogenicity.
