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.
Lamellar ichthyosis is a congenital disease of the skin with a generalized scaling. The primary activity of liarozole is considered to be the inhibition of the degradation of a substance called retinoic acid, which is the principal endogenous regulator of growth and differentiation of epithelial tissues in mammals. The current study intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety in patients with lamellar ichthyosis.
Comparison of lung function response between tiotropium inhalation solution and Spiriva HandiHaler.
After endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, life-long follow-up is needed to monitor the effectiveness of exclusion of the aneurysm sac from blood flow. For this reason, aneurysm diameter and the presence of endoleaks is evaluated with CT angiography yearly after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). The aim of this study is to investigate the value of MRA examinations for the follow-up of these patients. The advantages of MRA with respect to CTA are no use of ionizing radiation, use of less nephrotoxic contrast agents.
This is a sequential phase 1 and phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of intracardiac echocardiography to detect septal and left atrial pathology as compared to transesophageal echocardiography (Phase 1) and its value in a management strategy for immediate cardioversion during cardiac catheterization procedures in patients with atrial fibrillation as compared to a conventional strategy delaying cardioversion till full anticoagulation is established for a three weeks (Phase 2). Phase 1 will enroll 100 patients at 12 centers; these patients will be undergoing clinically indicated TEE & cardiac catheterization procedures. After review of Phase 1 results by an independent DSMB & the investigators that establish efficacy of ICE, Phase 2 will be initiated. Phase 2 will enroll 300 patients in 15 centers; these patients with atrial fibrillation will be undergoing clinically indicated cardiac catheterization procedures and have a clinical indication for cardioversion. Patients will be randomized to ICE guided cardioversion strategy or a conventional strategy employing three weeks of full anticoagulation before cardioversion. ICE imaging will be used to identify a low risk group for immediate cardioversion. A composite primary study endpoint that will include mortality and major morbidity including stroke and bleeding complications will be used. This study will examines two hypotheses in AF patients undergoing invasive cardiac procedures: Hypothesis 1: That ICE has comparable efficacy to TEE in visualization of left atrial pathology or septal defects that can predispose patients to stroke. This will be evaluated during the Phase I component of the study. Hypothesis 2: That ICE can identify low risk patients in whom immediate cardioversion during the procedure is safe and comparably effective to electrical cardioversion performed based on a conventional strategy of a minimum of 3 weeks of preceding anticoagulation therapy. Low risk patients are expected to have an acceptably low incidence rate of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), peripheral embolism, and major hemorrhagic events following electrical cardioversion. This will be evaluated during the Phase II component of the study, after the Phase I objective is achieved.
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of varying doses of ISIS 301012 (mipomersen) as add-on therapy in subjects with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Exploiting the immunostimulatory capacities of dendritic cells holds great promise for cancer immunotherapy. A mouse model for malignant mesothelioma allowed us to prove that autologous dendritic cells presenting tumor antigens were very effective by (partly) inhibiting tumor growth. This study will test the feasibility and safety of a clinical trial using autologous DC as a therapeutic adjuvant for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether Lyrica is a safe and effective treatment for partial epilepsy in comparison with an established treatment, Lamictal.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel and multiple dose study provided safety, preliminary efficacy, and immunogenicity information about the use of BMS-188667 and BMS-224818 in subjects with RA
This study will compare insulin lispro low mixture [LM] and insulin glargine both in combination with the patient's oral diabetes medicines, for their ability to control blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes and compare insulin lispro LM to insulin glargine with regard to the length of time that the overall blood sugar can be controlled. This study will also determine whether the safety of insulin lispro LM and any side effects that might be associated with it are different from those observed with insulin glargine, both in combination with the patient's oral diabetes medications. The addendum study (Intensification Addendum) will compare how different insulin treatments work to control blood sugar in patients whose diabetes could not be controlled by either insulin lispro LM or insulin glargine.
