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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of golimumab (CNTO 148) in subjects who have active rheumatoid arthritis and have been treated previously with at least 1 dose of a biologic anti-TNFa agent (etanercept, adalimumab or infliximab).
The purpose of the study is to determine the tolerability, the initial safety profile and maximum tolerated dose, and to obtain preliminary information on the antitumor activity of inotuzumab ozogamicin [CMC-544] in combination with rituximab in subjects with follicular, diffuse large B-Cell, or mantle cell NHL.
Subjects must be diagnosed with melanoma. All subjects receive sentinel lymphadenectomy. If the subject is sentinel node positive and meets study requirements, the subject is randomized to receive either (1) completion lymphadenectomy (2) observation with nodal ultrasound. Subjects are then followed for 10 years.
Parkinsons Disease (PD) is caused by a decrease of dopamine in a particular part of the brain. Dopamine is a messenger substance (neurotransmitter) that is used by the cells of the brain (nerve cells) to control and harmonize muscle movements. Consequently, the main manifestations of the disease affect movement and include tremor, muscular rigidity, slowness in performing movements and loss of balance. However, the disease affects also other, non motor functions and may cause other disorders, such as depression. Depression may be a reaction to the disability caused by the disease, but many studies show that depression is more common in PD than in other chronic debilitating illnesses. Moreover, there is also a biological explanation for the phenomenon: dopamine is also used in brain circuits involved in the experience of pleasure, and loss of pleasure in daily physical or social activity is one of the key manifestations of depression. The objective of the study is to assess whether pramipexole, at doses approved for the treatment of PD symptoms, is more effective than placebo in resolving depressive symptoms in PD patients. Also data on the safety of the product in the disease will be collected.
The face is involved in 40-50% of patients with burns admitted to the Dutch Burn Centres. Scarring of the face as a consequence of burns will often have a detrimental effect on function and aesthetics, and may cause negative effects on psychosocial wellbeing. What the best treatment is for facial burns, minimising scarring, is unclear. Besides that, there is little empirical evidence regarding the impact of facial scarring on psychosocial wellbeing. In clinical practice good results are felt to be achieved by treatment of facial burns with flammacerium. To substantiate the perceived advantages of flammacerium, its efficacy is compared to flammazine, a current alternative of care. The efficacy of treatment will be assessed in a prospective randomised multicentre clinical trial. Efficacy will be analysed in terms of number of patients requiring surgery and functional and aesthetic outcome. Apart from medical outcome, this study offers the opportunity to study psychosocial problems associated with facial defects. It is still an unresolved question whether facial scarring causes more or different psychosocial problems. Therefore, self-esteem and quality of life will be examined over time, in relation to depression, posttraumatic stress symptoms and other factors, such as coping style and social support. By evaluating the efficacy of different treatment strategies, we aim to optimise the standard of care of facial burns. Furthermore, this study wants to shed more light on the psychosocial impact of facial injury. With these results psychosocial professionals will be able to focus on persons at risk and to be better able to meet a patient's personal needs.
The purpose of the study is to collect data of patients who were randomized (assignment of study medication by chance) and treated in 3 previous studies of galantamine (CR003145, CR002014 and CR005947) for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (isolated memory impairment). This data were not recorded during the course of these 3 previous studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and tolerability of pazopanib in subjects with advanced and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma who have relapsed following standard therapies or for whom no standard therapy exists and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of pazopanib in this subject population.
To determine the efficacy of ABT-751 when administered in combination with standard pemetrexed in subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The Phase 1 portion of the study is complete and the study is currently enrolling subjects in Phase 2.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or posttraumatic dystrophy is a pain syndrome which develops after a trauma, surgery or for unknown reason. The incidence after wrist fractures varies in literature from 2 - 37%. The female sex is involved three times as much as the male sex. There is one study in literature which describes a prophylactic effect of vitamin C after wrist fractures. Goal of this study is to search for a dose dependent effect of vitamin C and to replicate these earlier findings.
Primary objective of this study is to compare the two therapy regimens with regard to renal function by using calculated creatinine clearance. The secondary objectives are to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of the two therapy regimens.
