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.
Alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). Primary Objective of the study: To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels after 24 weeks of treatment in comparison with placebo. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points - To evaluate the effects of alirocumab on other lipid parameters - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab
Neonatal jaundice, caused by hyperbilirubinemia, is frequently seen in healthy newborns. Assessment of the degree of jaundice is usually done visually,and if necessary serum bilirubin is investigated in a blood sample. The visual assessment is subjective and can alternatively be replaced by transcutaneous measurement.The transcutaneous bilirubinometer is a validated measurement-tool, which provides us with an estimated serum bilirubin-concentration. Little is known about the effect of the actual use of a bilirubinometer on the quality of care. Further evidence is needed to evaluate whether transcutaneous bilirubin measurements improve clinical outcome (use of blood tests, phototherapy and exchange transfusion), shorten length of stay and reduce costs. Therefore we aim to perform a Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing the use of a transcutaneous bilirubinometer in jaundiced neonates, a gestational age of 32 weeks. The assessment of jaundice by use of a transcutaneous bilirubinometer is compared to visual assessment of jaundice
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic changes of Nivolumab and Nivolumab in combination with Ipilimumab treatment on the biomarkers measured in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues of subjects with advanced melanoma (unresectable or advanced)
Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma. Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment. The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.
Almost all patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) need insulin treatment permanently. For selected patients who are unable to achieve glycaemic targets with subcutaneous (SC) insulin treatment, continuous intraperitoneal (IP) insulin infusion is an third-line alternative. Previous studies demonstrate that continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) using an implantable pump device improves glycaemic control and quality of life in patients with 'brittle' T1DM. Nevertheless, literature comparing IP and SC insulin treatment is scarce. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effects of IP insulin delivery to SC insulin delivery.The null hypothesis (H0) of the current study holds inferiority of CIPII compared to SC insulin regarding long-term glycaemic control. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is the inverse: CIPII is non-inferior to SC insulin. In summary, H0: CIPII is inferior to the SC insulin treatment H1: CIPII is not inferior to SC insulin treatment This is an investigator initiated, open label and prospective matched-control study with a non-inferiority design. The trial duration is 36 weeks and is conducted in a single-centre (Isala Clinics, Zwolle). If non-inferiority is established superiority analyses are performed.
This is a study to investigate if eltrombopag can be used instead of Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) in patients with ITP, to adequately raise their platelet count when they undergo minor or major surgery. Eltrombopag is a daily, oral pill approved for treatment of ITP. IVIG is a blood product frequently used to treat ITP. Patients with ITP who need surgery have to get treatment to increase their platelet count. IVIG is commonly used for this purpose but eltrombopag may be more effective and convenient for patients.
This randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO5469754 in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be randomized in cohorts to receive single ascending intravenous or subcutaneous doses of RO5469754 or placebo. In-clinic period will be from Day -1 to Day 4, with a safety follow-up of 15 weeks after dosing.
To determine the dose or doses of PF-00547659 that will be the most effective to improve or halt the disease symptoms in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
The aim of this extension trial is to assess the long-term safety of BIBF 1120 treatment in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis who have completed one year treatment and the follow up period in the double-blind phase III placebo controlled parent trials (1199.32 and 1199.34), who wish to continue treatment with BIBF 1120.
Following the findings of the clinical trials in drug development, this global non-interventional cohort field study will investigate rivaroxaban under clinical practice conditions in comparison with current standard of care for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The main goal is to analyze long-term safety in the use of rivaroxaban in the treatment of acute DVT in routine clinical practice.
