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.
In this study, the bioavailability of a specific orange peel extract is tested. The composition and morphology of the test product is altered compared to the generic product, which is used as a control. Due to intellectual property issues, more information cannot be given at this moment. Also the difference in bioavailability between a capsule and a lozenge is tested. The hypothesis is that the bioavailability of the altered extract will be improved compared to the control.
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) encompasses all pathological processes that affect the small vessels of the brain. On brain-MRI cSVD is characterized by structural brain abnormalities such as white matter lesions (WMLs). Clinically, cSVD is related to acute syndromes as lacunar stroke but also to more chronic health problems such as cognitive decline. Recent literature suggests that a disrupted blood brain barrier (BBB), leading to elevated BBB permeability, may play a pivotal role in the aetiology of cSVD and lacunar stroke. The BBB is a complex system of neuronal, glial and vascular cells which main function is to shield the brain from toxic components and regulate the homeostasis. Elucidating the role of the BBB may have far reaching consequences for the treatment of cSVD patients and the reduction of recurrence rate of the disease. This could lead to a better quality of life among cSVD patients and reduce the economic burden on society. Currently the exact contribution and extent of a possibly defective BBB in cSVD remains largely unclear, due to the lack of a reliable method to accurately quantify the BBB permeability in cSVD patients. As a result, the current treatment consists of treating the cardiovascular risk factors, often with poor results. Quantification of the BBB permeability provides an objective measure of the integrity of the BBB and as such aids the study of the role of the BBB. The aim of this study is to realize a clinically applicable MRI-method to quantify the BBB permeability. Moreover, the method can be used to study the involvement of BBB disruption in other neuropathologies including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, hypertension and diabetes. Primary Study Objective: To realize a clinically applicable quantification of BBB permeability using DCE-MRI by determining the reproducibility of the DCE-MRI method Secondary Study Objective: To achieve the shortest scan duration without compromising the reliability of the BBB permeability quantification. Hypotheses: 1. Using an optimized DCE-MRI method to quantify the BBB permeability, the BBB permeability can be reliably determined in cSVD patients. 2. The scan duration can be shortened without compromising the reliability of the BBB permeability quantification.
Primary Objective: Long-term safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of avalglucosidase alfa Secondary Objective: Long-term effect of avalglucosidase alfa on pharmacodynamic variables
This is a 3 arm Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the addition of veliparib plus carboplatin versus the addition of carboplatin to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in subjects with early stage TNBC.
This study investigates the most common major complications that result in unplanned additional surgery in patients undergoing vats anatomical resections. Several high-volume European centres participate. The purpose is to quantify these major complications, discuss the steps that can be taken to prevent these events, how they can be dealt with, be it by vats or conversion
This multicenter, single-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Atezolizumab in participants with PD-L1-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants will receive Atezolizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenously every 3 weeks as long as participants are experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, that is , in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.
Impaired uptake of glucose by skeletal muscle is a key feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is unclear to what extent impaired insulin uptake from capillaries into skeletal muscle interstitium plays a role in this process. We hypothesize that impaired uptake of insulin from capillaries into skeletal muscle interstitium is involved in impaired glucose uptake by skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of the RESPOND post market study is to collect real world clinical and device performance outcomes data with the Lotus Valve System used in routine clinical practice to demonstrate that the commercially available Lotus Valve System is a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis.
This study will investigate the influence of intra-operative use of remifentanil versus fentanyl on the percentage of patients with chronic thoracic after cardiac surgery via sternotomy. Secondary quantitative sensory testing is performed to determine thermal and electrical detection and pain threshold and the difference in pain variability scoring. Postoperative pain scores, analgesic use, genetic variances and costs are measured.
BACKGROUND: Fractures of the distal radius are common and account for an estimated 17% of all fractures diagnosed. Two-thirds of these fractures are displaced and require reduction. Although distal radius fractures are considered to be relatively harmless, inadequate treatment may result in impaired function of the wrist. The consequences of post-traumatic loss of function are comprehensive, both on an individual and a social level, and have long been underestimated. Despite the substantial implications, no evidence-based treatment method yet exists. Good results have been described both in patients treated conservatively and surgically. Nevertheless, 60% of all fractures redislocate after conservative treatment at which point surgical reduction and fixation is the treatment of choice. Recently, the use of volar locking plates has become more popular. This type of osteosynthesis employs a volar approach to the wrist and provides immediate stable fixation of the reduced fracture. This stability allows for early mobilisation and may therefore result in an improved regain of function. The aim of this study is to compare the functional outcome following surgical reduction and fixation with a volar locking plate with the functional outcome following closed reduction and plaster immobilisation at one year follow-up in patients with displaced extra-articular distal radius fractures. DESIGN: This single blinded randomised controlled trial will randomise between open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate (intervention group) and closed reduction followed by plaster immobilisation (control group). The study population will consist of all consecutive adult patients who are diagnosed with a displaced extra-articular distal radius fracture which has been adequately reduced at the Emergency Department. The primary outcome (functional outcome) will be assessed by means of the Disability Arm Shoulder Hand Score (DASH). Since the treatment allocated involves a surgical procedure, randomisation status will not be blinded. However, the researcher assessing the outcome at one year will be unaware of the treatment allocation. In total, 90 patients will be included in this trial which will be conducted in the Academic Medical Centre Amsterdam and its partners of the regional trauma care network.
