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.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if left atrial appendage closure with the WATCHMAN FLX Device is a reasonable alternative to oral anticoagulation following percutaneous catheter ablation for high risk patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Optimal prescribing of antimicrobials is becoming increasingly challenging because of the growing complexity of guidelines and constantly changing distribution of infectious pathogens. Prescribing antimicrobials appropriately according to local guidelines optimizes therapy for the individual patient and reduces the emergence of resistance. By adapting and evaluating a smartphone based app containing local guidelines we aim to study appropriate prescribing of antimicrobials by physicians in three hospitals (Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland).
Nocebo effects are adverse effects induced by patients' expectations. Nocebo effects on pain may underlie several clinical conditions, such as chronic pain. These effects can be learned via classical conditioning mechanisms. In the lab, nocebo effects are commonly studied via conditioning with continuous reinforcement (CRF) during which 100 percent of unconditioned pain stimuli are paired to conditioned stimuli (i.e., the activation of a mock medical device). Partial reinforcement (PRF) provides a more uncertain pairing during conditioning, where less than 100 percent of unconditioned pain stimuli are paired to conditioned stimuli. This method provides a potentially more clinically relevant learning platform to study how nocebo effects on pain are induced. In this study, the efficacy of conditioning with PRF, CRF, and sham-conditioning in inducing nocebo effects on pain will be compared. Furthermore, a counterconditioning method will be compared to an extinction method for the attenuation of nocebo effects on pain. Given the relevance of nocebo effects for patients, it is important to ascertain effective & clinically relevant methods to understand how nocebo effects may be formed and attenuated. This study is conducted by Leiden University.
There is a great interest in improving cognitive performance, including memory and attention. Improved attention is desirable for a large group of people because it is linked to improved performance . Students and professionals can benefit from improved attention and thus performance in academic and other work environments. In addition, cognitive functioning also plays an important role in sports. Various cognitive skills, including attention, reaction time and motor function, have shown that they can influence sport performance. A completely natural supplement with aronia melanocarpa extract could be a promising way to naturally improve cognitive performance.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Children or young adults with a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML) might be able to join this study if it has come back after remission or is not responding to treatment.
A phase 1 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen half-life extended bispecific T-cell engager acapatamab in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether TAK-653, in comparison to placebo, increases CNS excitability, assessed with TMS-evoked motor-evoked potential (MEP) in healthy participants.
The Multicenter FAST (Fast Assessment of STenosis severity) study is a prospective observational multicenter study designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of offline 3D-QCA based FFR, using CAAS Workstation (Pie Medical Imaging, Maastricht, the Netherlands) in identifying hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease with pressure wire-based FFR (≤0.80) as the reference standard.
This study evaluates the impact of an online patient decision aid on the process of decision making regarding breast reconstruction and the decision quality in women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy and considering immediate breast reconstruction. Half of participants will receive care as usual and access to the online decision aid, while the other half will receive care as usual including a standard information leaflet.
This Phase 2b/3 double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effects of livoletide on food-related behaviors in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).
