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.
Rationale: The pathophysiological changes in respiratory muscle morphology and functioning in patients with end-stage pulmonary disease are not very well known. Furthermore, in COPD, long-term high-intensity NIV is applied without knowing the exact consequences on the lungs and respiratory muscles. Objective: The aims of the study are to get insight in: A. changes respiratory muscles in end-stage respiratory disease, comparing COPD with restrictive lung disease (RLD) due to pulmonary fibrosis B. the effects of long-term HI-NIV in severe COPD patients on the respiratory muscles and the lungs; by comparing COPD patients that had been treated with long-term NIV to COPD patients that were not treated with long-term NIV. Study design: In order to investigate this, the investigators will include in a small pilot cohort study patients being lung transplanted. In these patients there is lung tissue available and respiratory muscle biopsies will be performed during lung-transplant surgery. Study population: Patients that are listed for lung transplantation for an underlying diagnosis of COPD or RLD will be asked to participate. Three groups will be included: patients with a RLD due to pulmonary fibrosis, COPD patients that had been treated with long-term NIV prior to being lung transplanted and COPD patients that were not treated with long-term NIV. Patients will be included definitely once being lung transplanted. Main study parameters/endpoints: The study is an exploratory pilot study. Both contractile strength and the structure of single diaphragm and intercostal muscle fibres as well as lung injury; i.e. alveolar structure and damage and inflammation in the alveoli, will be investigated.
The study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) blinatumomab for treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D) of SC administered blinatumomab. It will also conduct a clinical PK evaluation of SC1 and SC2 blinatumomab formulations.
Multi-centric open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 11 Belgian centers and one Dutch center in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes to assess safety, efficacy, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of 780 MiniMed Medtronic hybrid closed-loop insulin system (intervention group) compared to standard of care therapy (control group).
Major cardiovascular surgery is associated with postoperative cognitive decline (POCD), with a deterioration in memory, attention and speed of information processing. A multifactorial pathophysiology is presumed but this study focuses on the role of (neuro)inflammation in the development of POCD after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of GV-971 in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This is a prospective multi-center international registry. The objective of this registry is to collect prospective data on patients undergoing catheter ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). The registry will be used for clinical monitoring, research, and quality improvement purposes.
Patients with severe emphysema have limited options for treatment. Current treatments include lung transplant, lung volume reduction surgery or endobronchial lung volume reduction using valves or coils. These options are only available for a small and selected group of patients. The Free Flow Medical Lung Tensioning Device System (LTD) is thought to be the next generation endobronchial treatment for patients with severe emphysema designed to address this unmet need. The LTD is designed to compress the areas of lung parenchyma most damaged by emphysema and to tension surrounding tissue to help restore lung elastic recoil in a similar manner to the lung volume reduction coils.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy of psilocybin with respect to use of new antidepressant treatment, hospitalisations for depression, suicidality, and depressive severity rated using the Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) over a total of 52 weeks (compared across the 1 mg, 10 mg and 25 mg psilocybin groups from COMP 001).
The aim of the proposed study is to define the optimal treatment for Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, either primary arthrodesis (PA) or open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), regarding the quality of life, complications, functional outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. The investigators hypothesize that patients will have a better quality of life and fewer complications during follow-up when undergoing a PA for unstable fracture-dislocations in the Lisfranc midfoot joints compared to ORIF. Further, the investigators expect this approach to be more cost-effective than the operative stabilization with retaining the dislocated joints, as patients will be exposed to a reduced number of reinterventions and hospital stay and/or prolonged use of pain medication.
This is a window opportunity study of propranolol in patients with angiosarcoma. The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the activity of propranolol in the clinical setting as monotherapy, where the neoadjuvant setting provides a good opportunity to rapidly evaluate both the clinical response and histological response, without a significant delay in anti-cancer treatment.
