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 single arm open-label multi-center phase II study, investigating disease control rate after 18 weeks of treatment with afatinib/cetuximab combination therapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an EGFR exon 20 insertion.
Accurate staging is of great importance in patients with clinically locally advanced primary breast cancer (LABC, stage III) or locoregional recurrent (LRR) breast cancer for making a correct treatment plan. According to current guidelines, staging is performed with positron emission tomography (PET) using the 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) PET tracer, combined with diagnostic computed tomography (CT). However, previous studies have shown that this technique (with the current PET tracer) might not be sufficient for accurate staging. Specifically in low grade, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer metastases can be missed due to the low metabolic activity, leading to low uptake of [18F]FDG. Therefore, there is a clinical need to improve staging procedures. 16α-[18F]-fluoro-17β-estradiol ([18F]FES), an ER-targeted PET tracer, allows imaging of ER+ tumor lesions regardless of their metabolic activity. Patients with clinically LABC and LRR have a 25-50% risk of distant metastases. Correct identification of distant metastases allows adaptation of the treatment plan to avoid burdensome treatment with surgery, systemic and radiotherapy in order to maintain quality of life. In case of oligometastases, correct identification increases the likelihood for cure with local treatment. In the current study we will compare disease staging with [18F]FES- and [18F]FDG PET in patients with clinically LABC/LRR breast cancer. Objective: To determine whether [18F]FES PET/CT improves staging for women with clinically LABC or LRR, ER+/HER2- breast cancer as compared to standard [18F]FDG PET/CT. Study design: Multicenter prospective study with invasive measurements. Study population: 20 LABC and 20 LRR ER+/HER2- breast cancer patients. Main study parameters/endpoints: To determine the percentage of patients with a correctly changed treatment plan according to information obtained from [18F]FES PET/CT compared to [18F]FDG PET/CT at staging and at 6 months of follow-up; to determine the percentage of metastatic lesions detected and missed with [18F]FES PET/CT compared to [18F]FDG PET/CT (at staging and during follow-up). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients will receive an intravenous cannula for tracer injection and blood sampling, causing potentially transient discomfort at the site of the cannula insertion. Tumor biopsy will be performed from an easy accessible lesion and the most frequent complications that can occur are discomfort, bleeding and (local) infection. The risk of complications from a tumor biopsy is considered low: 0.24-1.6% and 0.11-0.48% for major complications and mortality, respectively. Radiation exposure from a [18F]FES PET and [18F]FDG PET scan usually ranges between 4-11 mSv and 7-8 mSv, respectively. Radiation exposure from a diagnostic CT scan ranges between 8-14 mSv. The total radiation burden is considered justifiable when compared to the information that can be obtained from this study, in this patient group with breast cancer. Imaging with [18F]FES PET may improve staging for patients with breast cancer as it may show tumor lesions that could not be identified with [18F]FDG PET, the current standard for staging. If this is the case, the initial treatment goal and intensity can be adjusted which can have beneficial effects for the patient.
This study consists of two periods. The objective of Period 1 is to evaluate the efficacy of upadacitinib in combination with a 26-week corticosteroid (CS) taper regimen compared to placebo in combination with a 52-week CS taper regimen, as measured by the proportion of participants in sustained remission at Week 52, and to assess the safety and tolerability of upadacitinib in participants with giant cell arteritis (GCA). The objective of period 2 is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of continuing versus withdrawing upadacitinib in maintaining remission in participants who achieved sustained remission in Period 1.
The purpose of the study is to determine the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of [14C]-evobrutinib in healthy participants
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple day dose of JNJ-67670187 compared to placebo.
Approximately 30 sites that enrolled participants in the MAVERICK-HCM (MYK-461-006) study in the United States (US) will initiate this study. Approximately 90 sites that enrolled participants in the EXPLORER-HCM (MYK-461-005) study in the US, Europe, and Israel will initiate this study. Note: Approximately 30 centers overlap between MAVERICK and EXPLORER.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response in a real-world patient population and evaluate options to address non-response and patient management.
Multi-center, open label, prospective clinical study to establish the acute safety and performance of the Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 2 weeks dapagliflozin treatment in individuals with a disrupted glucose homeostasis on the switch between carbohydrate and lipid oxidation during the night
In patients with a limited oligometastatic burden (cancer has spread but is not yet considered metastatic), emerging evidence suggests that treatment of all sites of disease with ablative therapies can improve patient outcomes, including overall- and progression-free survival. The application of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) for patients with 4-10 metastatic deposits appears promising, yet it is unclear if all patients with greater than 3 oligometastatic lesions benefit from ablative therapies in terms of improved Overall Survival (OS), Progression Free Survival (PFS), or quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of SABR, compared to standard of care treatment, on overall survival, oncologic outcomes, and quality of life in patients with a controlled primary tumor and 4-10 metastatic lesions.
