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 purpose of the study is optimising current treatments in schizophrenia and explore novel therapeutic options for schizophrenia. The study intends to both address basic, but so far unanswered, questions in the treatment of schizophrenia and develop new interventions. It is expected that the project will lead to evidence that is directly applicable to treatment guidelines, and will identify potential mechanisms for new drug development.
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks). Planned duration of double-blind treatment is 96 weeks. Participants who complete the 96-week double-blind treatment will have an option to enter a single-group, active-treatment, open-label extension period, providing they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
Patients with advanced kidney cancer or GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor: this is a tumor of the intestines) may be eligible for treatment with one of the following drugs: sunitinib (Sutent ®) or sorafenib (Nexavar ®). These drugs inhibit blood vessel formation in cancer cells. These cancer cells are hampered in their growth. To enlarge the investigators knowledge on the effects and side effects of these two medicines, in the University Medical Center St. Radboud lot of research is done. This study is a part of that. Patients receiving sunitinib or sorafenib tell sometimes that they feel that they are less able to concentrate, that their memory is not working properly or that they are less able to imagine a solution to a complex problem . Perhaps you recognize these symptoms as well. In how many of the patients this occurs, how severe the symptoms are and how it is caused, is still unknown. The goal of this research is to examine how memory, concentration and knowledge processing works in patients using sorafenib or sunitinib. With the research the investigators hope to get answers to the following questions: 1. How common are problems with memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in patients receiving the drug sunitinib or sorafenib? 2. What are the problems of memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in the use of sunitinib or sorafenib? 3. What could be the cause of the problems that patients experience from memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in the use of sunitinib or sorafenib? 4. Is there a link between problems with memory, concentration and processing of knowledge and also experiences of fatigue or mood of a patient?
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of ginkgo biloba (steady state) on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of the UGT-substrate raltegravir. Furthermore the safety profile of the combination is studied.
Rationale: Recently, sunitinib (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used for treatment of metastatic renal carcinoma and gastrointestinal stroma tumors) has been associated with development of heart failure, possibly by off-target inhibition of AMP-protein kinase. The investigators hypothesize that sunitinib reduces the contractile ability of myocardium and the tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion and that activators of AMP-protein kinase such as atorvastatin and AICAR reverse this unwanted effect of sunitinib. Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on ex-vivo atrial contractile force in absence and presence of ischemia-reperfusion. A secondary objective is to explore if atorvastatin or AICAR prevent sunitinib-induced deterioration of contractile function of human atrial trabeculas. Study design: Lab
The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the improvement in the skin condition rate of patients receiving alitretinoin compared to patients receiving placebo.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients newly diagnosed with CML and their quality of life in a real-world setting.
This pivotal phase III trial (CINC424B2301) is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib (INC424) to Best Available Therapy (BAT) in participants with polycythemia vera (PV) who are resistant to or intolerant of hydroxyurea (HU).
The aim of the study is to investigate the longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, relevant efficacy parameters (e.g., glycaemic parameters) and safety (e.g., weight and hypoglycaemia) of treatment with linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes at elevated cardiovascular risk receiving usual care, and compare outcome against glimepiride.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CCX354-C in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis partially responsive to methotrexate therapy.
