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.
Prospective, randomized, open-label, international, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AccuCinch Ventricular Restoration System in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Currently, standard treatment options available for Stage III melanoma include locoregional management (i.e. surgery) or systemic treatment (adjuvant to surgery or primarily in the case of unresectable disease). Adjuvant treatment options have shown major improvements in overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS) in resected stage III or IV melanoma. In daily practice, T-VEC monotherapy is used for unresectable Stage IIIB-IVM1a (injectable) disease, whereas Nivolumab is used for stage IV melanoma (among other systemic therapies). The next major developments are in neo-adjuvant treatment options for resectable stage III disease, where 3 small studies reported high response rates with systemic immunotherapy. This study evaluates the combination treatment of T-VEC + Nivolumab in the neo-adjuvant setting. The concept is that T-VEC can turn an immune desolate "cold" tumor into an immunogenic "hot" tumor. The hypothesis is that this will upregulate the expression of PD-L1 and make it more susceptible for treatment with an anti-PD-1 agent. The investigators believe neo-adjuvant Nivolumab + T-VEC will thus change the tumor microenvironment in patients with stage IIIB/C/D/IVM1a (AJCC 8) melanoma with resectable cutaneous or subcutaneous satellite or in-transit metastases (ITM) and/or tumor positive lymph nodes. With this trial the investigators aim to determine safety and feasibility of combination neo-adjuvant Nivolumab + T-VEC in patients with stage III melanoma with resectable ITM and/or tumor positive lymph nodes. The treatment schedule is based on 4 courses of intralesional T-VEC and 3 courses of intravenous Nivolumab. T-VEC first, in order to achieve the best synergistic effect with influx of CD8+ T cells prior to the first Nivolumab dose. T-VEC monotherapy with the dose 108 PFU/mL is given every 2 weeks (± 3) days after 3 weeks of the first T-VEC dose (with the first dose of T-VEC 106 PFU/mL to allow for seroconversion) , and Nivolumab can be given either every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks. Therefore we suggest the same dosing schedule for T-VEC and Nivolumab every 2 weeks for the purpose of this trial.
Rationale: Covid-19 spreads rapidly throughout the world. A large epidemic in the Netherlands would seriously challenge the available hospital capacity, and this would be augmented by absenteeism of healthcare workers (HCW). Strategies to prevent absenteeism of HCW are, therefore, desperately needed to safeguard continuous patient care. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis, with protective non-specific effects against other respiratory tract infections in in vitro and in vivo studies, and reported significant reductions in morbidity and mortality. The hypothesis is that BCG vaccination can reduce HCW absenteeism during the epidemic phase of Covid-19. Objective: Primary objective: To reduce absenteeism among HCW with direct patient contacts during the epidemic phase of Covid-19. Secondary objective: To reduce hospital admission, ICU admission or death in HCW with direct patient contacts during the epidemic phase of Covid-19. Study design: A placebo-controlled adaptive multi-centre randomized controlled trial. Study population: HCW with direct patient contacts among which nurses and physicians working at emergency rooms and wards where Covid-19-infected patients are treated. Intervention: Participants will be randomized between intracutaneous administration of BCG vaccine or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint: number of days of (unplanned) absenteeism for any reason. Secondary endpoints include the number of days of (unplanned) absenteeism because of documented Covid-19 infection, and the cumulative incidence of hospital admission, Intensive Care Admission, and death. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Based on previous experience and randomized controlled trials in adult and elderly individuals, the risks of BCG vaccination are considered low. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the beneficial effects of BCG vaccination through a lower work absenteeism rate of HCW and/or a mitigated clinical course of Covid-19 infection. The primary endpoint and the adaptive design with frequent interim analyses facilitate maximum efficiency of the trial, so that results can inform policy making during the ongoing epidemic.
Phase III, two-group multicentre, randomised controlled trial in up to 10 078 healthcare workers to determine if BCG vaccination reduces the incidence and severity of COVID-19 during the 2020 pandemic.
Aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare maintenance treatment with panobinostat interspersed with donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) versus the standard approach of pre-emptive DLI alone in patients with poor-risk AML/MDS having favorably received an allogeneic HSCT followed by engraftment, donor chimerism and hematopoietic reconstitution.
CAPACITY (www.capacity-covid.eu) is a registry of patients with COVID-19 across Europe and has been established to answer questions on the role of cardiovascular disease in this pandemic. It is an extension of the Case Record Form (CRF) that was released by the ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium) and WHO (World Health Organisation) in response to the emerging outbreak of COVID-19.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of CC-90010 when combined with standard of care treatment, temozolomide (TMZ) with or without radiotherapy (RT) in the newly diagnosed WHO Grade IV glioblastoma (ndGBM).
The primary objective of this study is to provide expanded access of remdesivir (RDV) for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) infection.
This is a Phase 2/3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of lirentelimab (AK002) given monthly for 6 doses in adult and adolescent patients with active eosinophilic esophagitis. Subjects who complete the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment may have the option to receive 6 doses of open-label lirentelimab (AK002) through the OLE Period of the study.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of tocilizumab (TCZ) compared with a matching placebo in combination with standard of care (SOC) in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
