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.
Duodenal carcinomas are the leading cause of mortality in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) who underwent prophylactic colorectal surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine wether celecoxib combined with ursodeoxycholic acid is an effective chemoprevention strategy to influence the progression of duodenal adenomas to carcinomas in patients with FAP.
The purposes of this study are: 1. To evaluate the long-term safety of dabigatran etexilate 2. To assess the effect of a knowledge translation intervention on patient outcomes
Rationale: Orthostatic hypotension increases with age and is associated with increased vascular and all-cause mortality. The prevalence of orthostatic hypotension is also increased in diabetic subjects. In order to prevent related adverse events and vascular mortality it is of great interest to examine the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension in elderly diabetic subjects. Objective: To examine the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension and associated adverse events in type 2 diabetic elderly subjects. Study design: Cross-sectional observational study. Study population: Elderly type 2 diabetic subjects (70 years and older).
In the advanced stages of Parkinson Disease deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) is the next therapeutic option. Despite the beneficial motor effects there are important negative side-effects of STN DBS. Our hypothesis is that changes in cognition and behavior during STN DBS are related to stimulation of the non-motor parts of the STN. The primary objective is to avoid cognitive and affective side effects by selective stimulation of the STN motor part. The main objective of this feasibility study is to measure the patients burden and to test the technical feasibility. Intervention: The intervention is an expansion of the classical STN DBS procedure. The targeting using the multichannel registration system by stimulation of the motor cortex and registration of the subthalamic nucleus will be added to the procedure. For this procedure, it is necessary to place a subdural strip under the skull.
In the present study the investigators aim to determine whether leucine supplementation can augment muscle mass and strength and improve body composition in healthy elderly men
The trial will be performed to evaluate if BIBF 1120 in combination with standard pemetrexed therapy is more effective than placebo (inactive capsule) plus standard pemetrexed therapy in patients with stage IIIB, IV or recurrent NSCLC. Safety information about BIBF1120/pemetrexed will be obtained.
This observational (non-interventional) post-authorization safety study (PASS) will investigate the application of Venofundin 6% and of Tetraspan 6% in children with special regard to drug safety.
This purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of pregabalin in treating idiopathic RLS patients for up to 12 months.
The aim of the study is to investigate the ovulation inhibition of two 4-phasic oral contraceptive regimens.
To demonstrate that as adjunctive therapy to intravenous (IV) antibiotics, BAY 41-6551 400 mg (amikacin as free base) administered as an aerosol by the Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS) Clinical every 12 hours is safe and more effective than placebo (aerosolized normal saline) administered as an aerosol by the PDDS Clinical every 12 hours, in intubated and mechanically-ventilated patients with Gram-negative Pneumonia. The secondary endpoint objectives are to evaluate the superiority of aerosolized BAY 41-6551 versus aerosolized placebo in pneumonia-related mortality, the Early Clinical Response at Day 10, the days on ventilation, and the days in the intensive care unit (ICU).
