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.
A recent study at our lab showed increased episodic memory consolidation and response readiness after treatment with methylphenidate in healthy volunteers. The investigators seek to replicate and extend these findings. Furthermore the pharmacological specificity of these effects will be studied. Since methylphenidate has an effect on two neurotransmitters, dopamine and noradrenaline, either could be responsible for the observed effects. In order to explore the dopaminergic contribution to this effect, the study proposed here includes not only methylphenidate but also levodopa/carbidopa, which only affects dopamine and not noradrenaline. In this study, 20 healthy males and females between 18 and 45 years of age will participate. They will be recruited via advertisements at Maastricht University and in local newspapers. Participants will be treated once with methylphenidate, once with levodopa/carbidopa and once with placebo. All medications will be administered orally with a capsule. It is hypothesized that methylphenidate and levodopa/carbidopa will both enhance episodic memory consolidation and improve response readiness
This is a randomised , placebo controlled, double blind , multicentre, Phase II/III study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Kamada AAT for inhalation in patients with Emphysema caused by Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency.
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a self-management program for elderly with an acquired and concurrent hearing and visual impairment due to age-related disease processes.
Trafermin is a recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; original development code, KCB-1), which is manufactured by genetic engineering using Escherichia coli by Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Trafermin 0.01% cutaneous spray product kit consisting of a glass bottle containing lyophilized trafermin, a glass bottle with solvent for solution and a spray part to fit the glass bottle after reconstitution of the final product. We conduct a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study consisting of a placebo run-in phase (2w), a treatment phase (max. 12w) and a follow-up phase (3mo+6mo). The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a superior wound closure rate of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) of neuropathic origin after a maximum of 12 weeks topical daily application of trafermin 0.01% spray compared with placebo, in addition to best local care (off-loading, dressings). Approximately 210 patients will be randomized and it is planned that this study will be conducted at approximately 40 investigational sites in Europe.
The investigators will evaluate the effect of metformin therapy during 4 months in non-diabetic patients following ST-elevation myocardial infarction on left ventricular ejection fraction as measured with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, compared to placebo.
Double blind, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled Safety and Efficacy trial of ADRCs delivered via the intracoronary route in the treatment of patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with Kiacta in adult patients with AA Amyloidosis.
Patients eligible for hormone ablation therapy who are prescribed Firmagon will be followed for a maximum of 3 years to estimate the progression free survival. Data on testosteron levels, QoL and LUTS will be collected if this information is available. Safety information (adverse events) will be collected.
The main objective is to investigate the postprandial effect of arginine-rich protein (i.e. pea-protein) on metabolic control, inflammation and endothelial function after a high-fat meal in subjects with characteristics of the metabolic syndrome.
This study will evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of Avastin versus placebo added to a chemotherapeutic regimen in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The anticipated time of study treatment is until confirmed evidence of disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
