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 several dose levels of ASP3652, given orally for 12 weeks, will be compared with placebo in the treatment of female patients with Bladder Pain Syndrome / Interstitial Cystitis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the investigational BIOTRONIK PRO-Kinetic Energy stent in subjects with atherosclerotic disease of native coronary arteries.
Radioembolisation is a known method for the treatment of liver tumors and or livermetastases. Currently small beadlets called microspheres are used that are loaded with the beta radiation emitting Yttrium-90. Holmium-166 microspheres have different physical characteristics including good visualisation in gammacameras due to the gamma emission. Because of the higher specific activity higher radiation doses to the liver will be used compared to the standard Yttrium treatment. It is hypothesized that higher doses of irradiation have an improved antitumor effect.
This open-label, randomized, single dose, 4-sequence, 4-period crossover study will assess the relative bioavailability of setrobuvir as tablet formulation versus the reference capsule formulation in healthy volunteers. Subjects will be randomized to one of four treatment sequences receiving 4 single oral doses of 200 mg setrobuvir, either as tablet or capsule formulation with or without a high fat meal, with a washout period of at least 14 days between treatments.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate of KW-0761 for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. KW-0761 targets CCR4. CCR4 is the receptor for macrophage derived chemokines MDC/CCL22 and TARC/CCL17. Chemokines are considered to play a role both in the recruitment of immune and inflammatory cells for anti-tumor response and in the selective homing of neoplastic B and T cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine the type and degree of inflammatory parameters in peripheral blood of asthma patients compared to analysis of induced sputum. 115 asthma patients visiting the outpatient clinic of the University Medical Center will be included. Blood samples are obtained and sputum induction is performed. Hypothesis: in asthma the analysis of type and degree of inflammation in peripheral blood by changes in phenotypes of leukocytes is at least as reliable as analysis of cells obtained from induced sputum
Asthma is a frequently occurring inflammatory lung disease that affects the whole bronchial tree including the small airways (<2mm). Since the introduction of the solution hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) technology it is possible to generate medication with small particles of approximately 1-2 μm, and therefore to reach the small airways. However, at this moment the investigators have no reliable instruments to identify the asthmatic subjects who particularly benefit from treatment with inhaled small particles. Recently the investigators research group investigated whether provocation with small and large particles AMP is able to identify responders and non-responders to treatment with small and large particles of inhaled corticosteroids. This provocation technique gave promising results but needs further optimization. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal particle size of dry powder adenosine to assess small airway involvement in asthma. Secondary, to provide insight in the associations between the standard test, executed with nebulized AMP, and the new test, executed with dry powder Adenosine.
Optimising glycaemic control during hospital stay reduces the rate of infections, length of stay and mortality, in particular in surgical patients. In this study, we test a strategy to implement optimal perioperative diabetes care in a controlled before and after design in 6 Dutch hospitals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals' vaccine GSK1437173A in the prevention of Herpes zoster (HZ) in autologous haematopoietic cell transplant recipients 18 years of age and older. To this end, the study will evaluate vaccine efficacy (VE) of the GSK1437173A vaccine, administered on a 2-dose schedule, compared to placebo in reducing the risk of developing HZ in this population.
In acute myocardial infarction early restoration of coronary blood flow is the most effective strategy to limit infarct-size. Paradoxically, reperfusion itself also aggravates myocardial injury and contributes to final infarct size, a process termed 'reperfusion injury'. Ischemia and reperfusion (IR)-induced endothelial dysfunction seems to play a pivotal role in this process, resulting in vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow to the already ischemic tissue. Recently, it has been shown that the glucose-lowering drug metformin is able to limit IR-injury in murine models of myocardial infarction, probably by increased formation of the endogenous nucleoside adenosine. In the current research proposal, the investigators aim to translate this finding to the human in vivo situation, using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery as a well-validated model of (endothelial) IR-injury.
