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.
This is a prospective, multi-center, open label, non-randomized study, evaluating the treating of medial meniscus deficiency with the NUsurface Meniscus Implant.
The study to be conducted is a prospective, open label trial. It is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and coagulation parameters and safety of dabigatran etexilate in patients with chronic kidney disease.
This randomized, Investigator/Subject-blind, adaptive single-ascending-dose, placebo-controlled, parallel study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (including the effect of food), and pharmacodynamics of RO5545965 following oral administration in healthy male volunteers. In Part 1, subjects will be randomized in cohorts to receive single ascending doses of RO5545965 or placebo. In Part 2, subjects will receive 2 doses of RO5545965, in the fed or fasted state, in randomized sequence with a washout period of approximately 2 weeks between treatment periods.
Heart Failure (HF) is one of the most frequent diagnoses upon hospitalization and is a major cause of death. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using an implantable device for synchronous bi-ventricular stimulation leads to improvement of hemodynamic parameters, physical capacity and quality of life. A continuous measurement of the left-ventricular volume would provide information about heart performance and could be used for both heart failure monitoring and optimization of CRT-therapy.
To evaluate if Brivaracetam (BRV) influences the psychomotor and cognitive impairing effects of Ethanol
This was a Phase 1 dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of 28-day treatment of CP-690,550 in stable renal allograft recipients. In Stage 1, ascending doses of CP-690,550 were to be administered sequentially to 3-4 cohorts of subjects. After Stage 1, one dose level was to be selected for dosing in an expanded cohort in Stage 2.
The major research objective is to assess the potential of Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to follow Intrahepatic lipid and Intramyocellular lipid dynamics after a single meal. Furthermore we aim to investigate whether the addition of protein to a high fat breakfast results in a reduced postprandial accumulation of lipids when compared to a high fat breakfast alone.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-national study alirocumab (REGN727/SAR236553) in patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (heFH) who are not adequately controlled with their Lipid-Modifying Therapy (LMT).
Background: The incidence of gastrointestinal infections is very high. In Western countries at least 30% of the population suffers from at least one food-borne infection per year. Mostly because of the problem of antibiotic resistance, more emphasis is put on prevention of infections. One of the possibilities is to strengthen human resistance to gut infections by consumption of probiotics. A specific blend of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11, Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175) and a probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces boulardii), improved stool consistency and shortened the duration of diarrhea in a rat model of E.coli-induced diarrhea. These probiotics showed synergistic effects compared with administration of solely S. boulardii or a mixture of L. helveticus Rosell-52, L. rhamnosus Rosell-11, B. longum Rosell-175. Consumption of S. boulardii and a combination of L. helveticus Rosell-52, L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 reduced diarrhea in humans. Aim: To study whether probiotics improves the resistance of humans to enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Study design: The PROTETEC study is a parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled 4-weeks intervention with probiotics in healthy volunteers. In this study, the effect of probiotic intervention vs placebo on several infection markers in response to an ETEC challenge is investigated. Participants will be randomly assigned to the probiotic or placebo group (n=30 per group). Subjects will be instructed to maintain their usual pattern of physical activity and their habitual food intake, but to standardize their dietary calcium intake. After an adaptation period of 2 weeks, subjects will be orally infected with a live, but attenuated, ETEC vaccine (strain E1392-75-2A; collection NIZO food research; dose 10E10 CFU). Before and after infection, a diary will be kept to record all food and drinks consumption (2x2 days) to assess the habitual dietary intake, as well as for daily recording of bowel habits and frequency and severity of gastrointestinal complaints. The following biological samples will be collected: 4x10 ml venous blood, a single fecal bolus (for screening) and 7x24 hrs feces. Blood is sampled for immune response analyses and the fecal samples are collected to quantify several infection- and immune system markers, to determine probiotic excretion, and to verify dietary calcium intake. Study population: Healthy males of 20-55 yrs of age. Interventions: Probiotics (capsules containing freeze-dried powder, probiotic dose per capsule 5x10E9 CFU; twice daily) or placebo (capsules with carrier material powder of identical appearance) Primary outcomes: Fecal ETEC excretion and severity of diarrhea (quantified by fecal output per day). Secondary outcomes: Serum immune response to ETEC, self-reported stool consistency scores and gastrointestinal complaints, relative fecal wet weight. Tertiary outcomes: sIgA and calprotectin in feces, probiotic persistence and levels of opportunistic pathogens in the endogenous microbiota.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CK-2017357 when taken with or without riluzole (also called Rilutek®) in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
