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 estimate the retention rate of Abatacept over 24 months in routine clinical practice in every participating country depending on the treatment line.
There are preliminary data suggesting that patients suffering from non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, treated with metformin, have improved local tumor control. A reduction in the tumor's hypoxia may be responsible for this phenomenon. Therefore, the aim of this study is to test the hypothesis in three cohorts of patients suffering from advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer and all undergoing concurrent radiochemotherapy: 1. Patients with diabetes mellitus treated with metformin only; 2. Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not treated with metformin; 3. The remaining patients serving as controls. Furthermore, tumor and treatment-related parameters will be correlated with overall survival and morbidity.
In the present study, the effects of 7 days of bed rest on muscle mass, muscle fiber characteristics and insulin sensitivity will be determined.
This is a Phase I/II, multi-center, open-label study, composed with a Phase I part (dose-escalation phase) followed by a Phase II part (expansion phase). The dose escalation phase was designed to determine as primary objective the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of EGF816 monotherapy in adult subjects with locally advanced (stage IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC harboring specific EGFR mutations. Patients may have or not have received prior lines of antineoplastic therapy. An adaptive Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM) employing the escalation with overdose control (EWOC) principle will be used during the dose escalation part for dose level selection and MTD recommendation. The primary objective of the Phase II part is to estimate antitumor activity of EGF816 as measured by overall response rate (ORR) determined by Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) assessment in accordance to RECIST 1.1.
This Phase II, single-arm study is designed to evaluate the effect of atezolizumab treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. Participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 will consist of participants who are treatment-naïve and ineligible for cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. The results of Cohort 1 are reported separately (NCT02951767). Cohort 2 (reported here) will contain participants who have progressed during or following a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen. Participants in both cohorts will be given a 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) dose of atezolizumab on Day 1 of 21-day cycles. Treatment of participants in Cohort 1 will continue until disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or unmanageable toxicity. Treatment of participants in Cohort 2 will continue until loss of clinical benefit or unmanageable toxicity.
This is a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging phase 2b study to investigate the hepatic and renal safety and tolerability of multiple dose administration of two dose levels of CSL112 compared with placebo in subjects with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Rationale: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a medically unexplained syndrome for which no somatic or pharmacological treatment has been proven effective. Dysfunction of the cytokine network has been suspected to play a role in the pathophysiology of CFS. Although derangements of the cytokine network in CFS are controversial, a major problem is that many studies did not use adequate controls. In addition, all studies have been performed on peripheral venous blood of the patients. As cytokines mainly act in the tissues, e.g., the brain, the information that can be derived from peripheral blood cells is limited. The only information regarding the possible role of cytokines in the pathophysiology of CFS could come from intervention studies in which pathogenetically important cytokines are inhibited. A potentially relevant cytokine which can be blocked in humans without severe side effects is IL-1. Although it is plausible that these cytokines play a role in CFS, there is limited evidence for this. Objective: To investigate the effect on symptomatology of interference with IL-1 in CFS patients. Study design: A randomized placebo controlled study will be performed to determine whether interference with IL-1 is able to reduce fatigue and disabilities in CFS patients. Study population: Female CFS patients without psychiatric co-morbidity will be included in this study. Patients of the outpatient clinic of the Department of General internal medicine and the Expert Centre for Chronic Fatigue (ECCF) will be asked to participate in the study. Patients will be asked to bring a healthy neighbourhood control to their first study visit. Intervention: After inclusion patients will be randomized to receive one of the following treatments: - interleukin-1 inhibitor Anakinra (IL-1Ra) for 4 weeks (N=25); - placebo for 4 weeks (N=25). Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome measure will be fatigue severity measured with the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) at 4 weeks, measurement will be repeated up to 26 weeks. Secondary outcome measures will be: - level of functional impairment measured with the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP8) total score; - physical and social functioning assessed with the subscale physical functioning and social functioning of the SF-36; - level of psychological distress assessed with the total score on the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90); - pain severity assessed with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS); - cytokine measurement in blood (plasma and blood in Pax-gene tubes) and saliva (at protein and mRNA level); - cortisol measurement in saliva and hair; - microbiome determination in faeces; - body temperature and pulse rate.

This study will evaluate whether the addition of quantitation as an adjunct to visual interpretations significantly improves the accuracy of Amyvid scan interpretation.
Aim of the current study is to test the non-inferiority hypothesis of differences in early hip dislocation between a group of patients who will be restricted to sleep in supine position and a group without restricted sleeping position during the first eight weeks after a total hip replacement following a posterolateral surgical approach
