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 this study is to see whether PRO044 is safe and effective to use as medication for DMD patients with a mutation around location 44 in the DNA for the dystrophin protein.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Oxalobacter formigenes is effective at lowering urinary oxalate levels in patients with primary hyperoxaluria.
Compare the efficacy of using an absorbent foam silver dressing (Mepilex Ag) versus the equivalent dressing without silver in subjects suffering from venous leg ulcer or mixed ulcer with an ABPI ≥ 0.8 and with inflammatory signs. Efficacy will be defined as absolute wound size reduction.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LCZ696 compared to enalapril on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II - IV and EF =< 35%).
HYPOTHESIS: Early prophylactic inhalation of Budesonide reduces the absolute risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in preterm infants born <28 weeks gestational age (GA) by 10%. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether inhalation of Budesonide within 12 hours of life improves survival without BPD at 36 weeks GA in infants born between 23 and 27 weeks GA. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To determine whether prophylactic inhalation of Budesonide affects neurodevelopment at a corrected age of 18-22 months in preterm infants; to determine whether inhalation of corticosteroids is associated with adverse treatment effects, alters mortality at 36 weeks GA, BPD incidence at 36 weeks GA, and the duration of positive pressure respiratory support or supplemental oxygen. RATIONALE: Pre- and postnatal exposure of the developing lung to inflammation is central to the development of BPD and the pulmonary inflammatory response in preterms at risk of developing BPD is established very early in life. Corticosteroids have antiinflammatory properties and early inhalation of corticosteroids may allow for beneficial local effects on the pulmonary system prior to the development of a full inflammatory response with a lower risk of undesirable systemic side effects. STUDY DESIGN: Randomised placebo-controlled, multi-centre clinical trial. RESEARCH PLAN: Within 2 years 850 infants of 23-27 weeks GA will be randomised during the first 12 hours of life to Budesonide or placebo to prevent BPD. Study drugs will be administered via Aerochamber and continued until infants are either off supplementary oxygen and positive pressure support or have reached a GA of 32 0/7 weeks regardless of ventilatory status. The primary outcome of survival without BPD will be determined at 36 weeks GA and BPD will be defined according to the physiological definition. Study patients will be followed and neurodevelopmental outcomes will be assessed at a corrected age of 18-22 months. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: BPD not only contributes to the mortality of preterm infants but is also associated with impaired neurosensory development in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) survivors, frequent readmission to hospital in the first 2 years of life, as well as with an increased risk of asthma, lung function abnormalities and persistent respiratory symptoms in adolescence and young adulthood. Systemic corticosteroids are effective in preventing BPD, but their use is practically prohibited given their adverse effects on neurodevelopment. Early inhalation of corticosteroids has been shown to be associated with secondary pulmonary benefits, but its effect on survival without BPD and on neurodevelopment remains unclear.
PET (positron emission tomography) imaging with BAY85-8101 (ZK 6032924) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease compared to healthy volunteers.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of three fixed doses of SSR125543 (20 mg daily, 50 mg daily, and 100 mg daily) compared to placebo in outpatients with major depressive disorder, as assessed by the change from baseline (Day -1) to Day 56 in the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) total score. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the tolerability and safety of SSR125543 in outpatients with major depressive disorder - To evaluate plasma concentrations of SSR125543
The insulinotropic effects of protein hydrolysate/amino acid ingestion have been shown to regulate blood glucose homeostasis in both type 2 diabetes patients and normoglycemic controls. The objective of the study is to investigate the optimal dose of such an insulinotropic mixture.
Based upon an increased secretion of gastrointestinal satiety hormones (CCK, GLP-1), PinnoThin is hypothesized to be more satiating, and to limit energy intake in humans. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate whether PinnoThin leads to an increase in satiety as determined by VAS ratings? Additionally, does PinnoThin consumed during breakfast, in comparison to placebo, in overweight women, lead to a decrease in energy intake during an ad libitum lunch?
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of feeding frequency on glucose and insulin metabolism and substrate partitioning.
