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 find a dose for a twice daily regimen for posaconazole (PSZ) as prophylactic treatment in children with CGD, based on the PSZ trough level.
Teduglutide is an investigative medicine being evaluated as a possible treatment for people with parenteral nutrition (PN) dependent Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). Teduglutide is similar to a protein the body makes. When people have SBS, their bodies do not make enough of the protein and they have trouble getting nutrients and fluids from the food they eat and drink. This study was designed to provide evidence of efficacy, safety, and tolerability of teduglutide 0.05 mg/kg daily in SBS subjects.
The objective of this protocol is to provide SU011248 treatment for patients who have participated in a SU011248 protocol and are eligible to enter this protocol
The objective of the randomised part of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of BI 1356 plus metformin compared to BI 1356 or metformin alone given for 24 weeks to drug naive or previously treated (4 weeks wash-out, 2 weeks placebo run-in) type 2 diabetic patients with insufficient glycaemic control. For the open-label part of the study the objective is to estimate the efficacy and safety of BI 1356 and metformin in type 2 diabetic patients with very poor glycaemic control for 24 weeks
This single arm study will assess progression free survival, tumor response and safety of Avastin in combination with interferon alfa-2a (IFN) as first line treatment in patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Patients will receive Avastin (10mg/kg iv) every 2 weeks in combination with a low dose of interferon alfa-2a (3 MIU sc three times per week (t.i.w.). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Randomized Study To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Medical DESyne Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with Durable Polymer through the assessment of clinical, angiographic and IVUS endpoints as compared to the concurrently enrolled Medtronic Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in a randomized, single blind study of up to 200 male and female patients. In a Continued Access Registry of up to 100 patients receiving the DESyne Stent clinical-only endpoints will be evaluated. To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Elixir Novolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System with bioabsorbable polymer as compared to the Medtronic Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System control through clinical and angiographic endpoints.
Comparison of Nexavar with a placebo as maintenance therapy for patients with advanced Ovarian or primary Peritoneal cancers in complete remission following surgery and one regimen of chemotherapy.
Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a national accreditation and improvement programme for general practice, focusing on patients with established cardiovascular diseases. Design: Cluster randomised trial with a block design. All practices start with the accreditation procedure.Intervention group practices are requested to focus their improvement plans in the first year on cardiovascular disease. Control group practices are requested to focus their improvement plans in the first year on other domains. Measurements at baseline are based on the standard audit in the accreditation procedure. Follow-up measurements are done 12 months after approval of improvement plans. Participants: Primary care physicians in The Netherlands. Interventions to be implemented: improvement plans concerning cardiovascular risk management, as described by recently updated national multidisciplinary evidence-based NHG / CBO guidelines, considering patients with established cardiovascular diseases. Implementation strategy: The national programme for accreditation and improvement of general practice. This procedure consists of a package of activities, including audit, feedback, improvement plans, and follow-up. Outcome measures: Primary outcomes are percentages of patients with CVD who have acceptable systolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels (quantified according to the indicators in the accreditation)and who use aspirin or alternatives. Secondary measures include clinical and organisational indicators of quality of cardiovascular care, such as percentages of patients with cardiovascular disease whose risk factors were assessed and who received specific medication. Economic evaluation: Incremental cost effectiveness ratio's are determined of the implementation strategy compared to no implementation. The analysis will take a societal perspective and a time horizon of the observed period as well as a hypothetical 10 years period (using modelling). Uncertainty related to the estimations is examined with sensitivity analyses and bootstrapping. The long term economic evaluation is based on Markov modelling.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether desmoteplase is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with acute ischaemic stroke when given within 3-9 hours from onset of stroke symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety of two different dose regimens of unfractionated heparin (UFH) during a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure in patients with UA (unstable angina)/NSTEMI (non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) who have been initially treated with fondaparinux.
