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.
In this study, investigators seek to determine whether the timing of antibiotics given to mothers during an elective C-section affects the composition of their infant's gut microbiome. To do this, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was carried out with women undergoing elective C-sections. These women were either given antibiotics before the skin incision (AB+) or after the umbilical cord was clamped (AB-).
The present study examines if depressive symptoms, paranoid ideation, and emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship between attachment and psychosocial functioning in autistic adults.
To determine the safety and effectiveness of IMPEDE-FX RapidFill to increase the percentage of subjects with shrinkage of the abdominal aortic aneurysm sac when used as an adjunct to on-label endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) stent graft treatment in trial subjects considered candidates for elective EVAR.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the PLACES intervention on paid employment re-entry in unemployed and work-disabled cancer survivors, compared to CAU. Secondary Objectives are: - To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the PLACES intervention aimed at unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors. - To evaluate the effectiveness of the PLACES intervention on time until paid employment, type of employment, change in working hours, quality of life, quality of working life, work ability, and self-efficacy regarding RTW, in unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors. - To evaluate the process of conducting the PLACES intervention in terms of recruitment, reach, dose delivered, dose received, fidelity and context. Participants in the intervention group will receive the PLACES intervention with a maximum duration of 1 year, and participants in the control group will receive CAU.
Background: Prostate biopsies are essential to diagnose prostate cancer (PCa). Transrectal prostate biopsies (TR-PB) are commonly performed, however disadvantages include the requirement of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) and higher complication rates than transperineal prostate biopsies (TP-PB). Guidelines still recommend the use of AP for TP-PB due to the limited evidence regarding complication rates after their omission. However, the rising rates of antibiotic resistance is of concern. The aim of this study was to compare the complication and detection rates of freehand TP-PB without AP versus TR-PB with AP. Methods: This single center retrospective study was performed in an academic hospital. TP-PB were introduced in 2019 and implemented as the main technique by late 2020. To compare the two techniques, data was collected for freehand TR-PB with AP between 2017-2018 and freehand TP-PB without AP between 2021-2022. The data from 2019 and 2020 were excluded to rule out the effects of the initial learning curve during the transition period. Primary outcome measure was post-biopsy complications occurring within 2 weeks, focusing on infectious complications. Secondary outcome measures were detection rates and upgrading/reclassification in the repeat biopsy in active surveillance (AS). Statistical analysis was performed using a Fisher exact or Chi-Squared test.
The goal of this randomized feasibility trial is to evaluate the feasibility of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) in invasively ventilated critically ill patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is MI-E feasible? - Is MI-E safe? Participants in the intervention group will receive: - MI-E - Airway secretions will be removed by endotracheal suctioning, as part of routine airway care. - Manual hyperinflation will only be used when necessary in an emergency situation. Patients in the control group will receive endotracheal suctioning and manual hyperinflation when clinically indicated. The primary outcome is the proportion of delivered MI-E sessions (2 times per calendar day a MI-E session of 3 x 3 cycles of an in- and exsufflation) per patient according to study protocol (feasibility). Secondary outcomes are the total number of serious adverse events in relation to MI-E (safety) and preliminary exploratory data on the need for airway care interventions and clinical outcomes including duration of invasive ventilation, length of stay in ICU and mortality (efficacy).
The SeARCH-trial assess the clinical impact of a molecular urine test as a 'urine-first' strategy in the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with microscopic hematuria.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986278 in Participants with Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who after an initial response to immunotherapy of chemo-immunotherapy show diffuse disease progression are treated with chemotherapy, with a median PFS of about 3 months and a high incidence of important toxicity or by continuation of immune therapy when the growth rate of the tumours is low. In a previous study, it was showed that irradiating a single metastatic lesion and continuation of immune therapy resulted in a median PFS time was 4.9 months (95% CI, 3.0-7.0 months). At three months of follow-up, the PFS rate was 62.5%, at six months 37.5% and at 12 months 17.9%. The median OS for all patients was 14.9 months (95% CI, 12.2-21.5 months). Toxicity was hardly observed. This was obtained with a few fractions of radiotherapy. There is biological rationale to deliver this radiation in a single fraction of 10 Gy. Objective: The primary objective is to investigate if a single fraction of 10 Gy is not inferior to a more fractionated schedule, which would add to the convenience for the patient, even less toxicity and costs. Study design: Prospective, single-arm phase II trial. Study population: Patients with stage IV NSCLC who initially showed a partial or complete remission under immune therapy alone or concurrent immune therapy and chemotherapy and now show progressive disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. At least two different lesions should show progressive disease. Patients should be able to continue the same immune therapy (i.e. no adverse events grade 3 or more). Intervention: Patients continue the same immune therapy they already received and get radiotherapy to one progressing lesion. The lesion may or may not be symptomatic. The preferred radiotherapy dose is 10 Gy in 1 fraction, but other fractionation schedules (e.g. 24 Gy/ 3 fractions, 30 Gy/ 10 fractions, 20 Gy/ 5 fractions, 20-24 Gy / 1 fraction for stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases), including so-called isotoxic strategies are allowed if these are standard for a certain location or palliative indication in the body. Main study parameters/endpoints: Progression-free survival (PFS).
This phase III trial compares the use of contrast-enhanced multiparametric ultrasound (mp-US) to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). A mp-US is a procedure in which a probe that sends out high-energy sound waves is inserted into the rectum. The sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissue called a sonogram. Perflutren lipid michrosphere (Definity) is a contrast agent that uses microbubbles to enhance ultrasound images of the prostate. Doctors hope to learn if the Definity-enhanced mp-US imaging technique can accurately direct targeted biopsy for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer when compared to standard of care mp-MRI.
