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.
Patients will be randomized to control and spinal cord stimulation arm (SCS) to investigate the effect of SCS on the occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation in the five days after surgery.
The study examines the feasibility and effectiveness of two different nutritional strategies (multi‐nutrient supplement and food‐related behavioural change) to prevent depression in high‐risk overweight European Union citizens. Interventions will last 12 months. Design is a two‐by‐two factorial randomized controlled prevention trial with four intervention groups: 1. Control group (daily placebo supplements) 2. Multi-nutrient supplementation group (daily multi-nutrient supplement) 3. Food-related behavioural change group (food-related behavioural activation focusing on improving overall diet + placebo supplements) 4. Multi-nutrient supplementation + food-related behavioural activation group (daily multi-nutrient supplement + food-related behavioural activation focusing on improving overall diet). Follow‐up assessment will be conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months for primary and secondary endpoints, and during intervention for compliance, adverse events and mediating variables.Data will first be analyzed according to the intention‐to‐treat principle, using (mixed model) analysis of covariance with primary and secondary endpoints, testing for the effects of the two nutritional strategies separately as well as combined.
The present project aims to determine the underlying mechanisms for the switch from failure to thrive to excessive weight gain and hyperphagia with impaired satiety in PWS. The primary objective is to describe the evolution of circulating hormones involved in feeding and appetite regulation during the 4 first years of life. The secondary objective is to make this blood bank available for other research projects and particularly the investigation of hormones involved in hypogonadism. Over the last ten years, the age at diagnosis in PWS has fallen significantly and the majority of cases is now diagnosed during the 1st trimester of life giving the possibility to collect precise clinical data and serum samples at early stages. The investigators of the project are involved in the care of patients with PWS and have a devoted clinic and an organized network in their country through clinical networks or patient associations.
The metabolic function of different white adipose tissue depots in the body and its role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. Several studies have used fluor-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to image the metabolic activity of different adipose tissues in lean and obese healthy subjects and in patients with T2D with or without euglycaemic hyperinsulinemic clamping, describing differences in metabolic activity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and gluteal-femoral adipose tissue (GFAT). Recently, FDG PET/CT showed high glucose uptake in VAT and SAT under unintentional hypoglycaemic conditions in a non-diabetic patient. Evaluation of potential differences in FDG uptake in white adipose tissue between healthy volunteers and T2D patients and between VAT, SAT and GFAT in these subjects under hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemic conditions would be of great value in further exploring the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in T2D.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a potent treatment, and sometimes the only curative treatment for aggressive hematological malignancies. The therapeutic efficacy is attributed to the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) response, during which donor-derived CD8+ T cells become activated by recipient minor histocompatibility antigens (MiHA) presented on dendritic cells (DC). Consequently, these alloreactive donor T cells clonally expand, acquire effector functions and kill MiHA-positive malignant cells. However, in a substantial number of patients persistence and recurrence of malignant disease is observed, indicating that insufficient GVT immunity is induced. This is reflected by our observation that not all patients develop a productive CD8+ T cell response towards MiHA mismatched between the recipient and donor. We found that the PD-1/PD-L1 co-inhibitory pathway is involved in dampening MiHA-specific CD8+ T cell expansion and function post-transplantation. Therefore, a promising strategy to induce or boost GVT immune responses is pre-emptive or therapeutic vaccination with ex vivo-generated donor DCs loaded with MiHA that are exclusively expressed by recipient hematopoietic cells and their malignant counterparts. In contrast to pre-emptive donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) with polyclonal donor T cells, this MiHA-DC vaccination approach has less risk of inducing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the potency to induce more efficient GVT-associated T cell immunity. In addition, the potency of this DC vaccine will be further enhanced by interference with the PD-1/PD-L1 co-inhibitory pathway, using siRNA mediated PD-L1/PD-L2 silencing.
This is a first time in human (FTIH), open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of GSK3174998 administered intravenously to participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors. This dose-escalation study will assess the safety, activity of GSK3174998 as monotherapy (Part 1), in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 2), and potentially in combination with additional therapies. The study will be conducted in 2 parts, each part consisting of starting with a dose-escalation phase followed by a cohort expansion phase. GSK3174998 will first be evaluated as monotherapy in escalating doses. Once a dose of GSK3174998 has been identified that is both tolerable and demonstrates pharmacodynamic activity, enrollment of Part 2 may begin. In Part 2, escalating doses of GSK3174998 will be evaluated with fixed doses of pembrolizumab. The maximum duration of treatment with GSK3174998 and pembrolizumab will be approximately 2 years or 35 cycles, whichever comes first. The follow-up period for safety assessments will be a minimum of 3 months from the date of the last dose. The post-treatment follow-up period will include disease assessments every 12 weeks until documented progressive disease (PD). Approximately 141 participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors will be enrolled.
This study is conducted to clinically assess safety and performance of the Polyganics nerve capping device for the treatment of symptomatic neuroma. There is sufficient clinical experience with regard to the safety of the commercially available nerve guide, NEUROLAC®. This new nerve capping device is identical in material and manufacturing. The exception is in design, where NEUROLAC® has two open ends, the nerve capping device has one closed (sealed) end. This study will be conducted to obtain data on the clinical performance of the capping device's ability to isolate the nerve end, resulting in a reduction of pain of experienced from the symptomatic neuroma and prevention of the reoccurrence of a symptomatic neuroma.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab, compared with placebo, for reducing the use of maintenance oral corticosteroids (OCS) in participants with severe steroid-dependent asthma. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab. - To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in improving participants-reported outcomes. - To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and the incidence of treatment-emergent antidrug antibodies.
