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 CT examination on IQon Spectral CT would be a standard of care CT performed as per the clinical indication. The conventional CT images generated by the scanner will be used for clinical purposes as routinely practiced. And therefore, the primary study aim is to assess the impact of IQon Spectral CT scanner and applications on the clinical workflow of the site as well as the diagnostic confidence levels of the physicians reading the CT cases. In addition to the aim mentioned above, the investigators would like to develop recommendations for the clinical application of the spectral images in routine use. Such recommendations could include optimization of scanning protocols, optimization of reconstruction parameters; evaluate the utility of iodine maps and other supported materials.
The Reveal LINQ Registry will generate reliable long-term "real world" data of product performance, economic valuation, site-of-service procedural information.
Evaluate the clinical progression in patients with MPS IIIA who are untreated with any investigational product and to obtain standardized assessments: neurocognitive, behavioral, sleep-wake habits and effect of MPS IIIA on the quality of life of patients and their families.
Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRl) of the brain is used to measure pleasantness after consumption of four different milkshakes with added sugars or sweeteners.
The main objective of the project is to bring the existing radio frequency ablation (RFA) model for liver cancer treatment (Project IMPPACT, Grant No. 223877, completed in February 2012) into clinical practice. Therefore the project will pursue the following objectives: i) to prove and refine the RFA model in a small clinical study; ii) to develop the model into a real-time patient specific RFA planning and support system for Interventional Radiologists (IR) under special consideration of their clinical workflow needs; iii) to establish a corresponding training procedure for IR's; iv) to evaluate the clinical practicality and benefit of the model for use in the routine workflow in a user survey and expert forum.
This multicenter open-label extension study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lampalizumab intravitreal injections in participants with GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who completed 96 weeks of treatment in Studies GX29176 (NCT02247479) or GX29185 (NCT02247531). The extension will enroll participants from the parent studies who received investigational lampalizumab, as well as lampalizumab-naive participants exposed to sham comparator. All participants will receive open-label lampalizumab in the present study.
This was a randomized, double-blind, active controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study evaluating secukinumab monotherapy and adalimumab monotherapy in approximately 850 patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who are naïve to biologic therapy and are intolerant or having inadequate response to conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (also known as non-biologic DMARDs).
Rationale: Recent investigations suggest that, through certain concentration/meditation techniques, it is possible to modulate autonomic activity. The results of a recent randomized controlled trial investigating the "Wim Hof Method" have shown a direct biological effect on in-vivo cytokine production and are strongly encouraging the clinical evaluation of the technique's efficacy in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Objective: To investigate whether an add-on mindset & physical therapy program based on the "Wim Hof Method" can safely and efficaciously be applied in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis. Study design: Prospective open-label randomized controlled trial, safety and efficacy. Study population: Twenty-four patients with active axial spondyloarthritis between 18 and 45 years of age. Intervention: A 30-day training program of add-on mindset and physical therapy for axial spondyloarthritis, using the methodology as designed and instructed by Wim Hof. It involves breathing techniques, training of mindset and concentration, and gradual cold exposure. Main study parameters/endpoints: Safety evaluation of the program is the primary aim of the study. Secondary endpoint is the modulation of serum CRP levels. Exploratory objectives include modulation of clinical disease activity (ASDAS), quality of life (SF-36, EQ-5D), depressive symptoms (HADS), and predictive role of generalized and specific outcome expectancies (EPQ-N, LOT-R, VAS scales).
There is a need for better visualization of resection margins and detection of small tumor deposits during surgery for pancreatic cancer. Optical molecular imaging of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma associated biomarkers is a promising technique to accommodate this need. The biomarker Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF-A) is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer tissue versus normal tissue and has proven to be a valid target for molecular imaging. VEGF-A can be targeted by the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab. Monoclonal antibodies can be labeled by the near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye IRDye800CW (800CW). The investigators hypothesize that bevacizumab-800CW accumulates in VEGF expressing cancer, enabling pancreatic cancer visualization using a NIR intraoperative camera system. In this pilot intervention study the investigators will determine the optimal dosage of bevacizumab-800CW (4,5 10, 25 or 50mg) to detect pancreatic cancer tissue intraoperatively.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether carboplatin-paclitaxel-bevacizumab results in a prolonged progression free survival compared to cisplatin-pemetrexed as first line treatment in patients with KRAS mutated non-small cell lung cancer.
