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.
To evaluate the increase in Overall Response Rate (ORR) in the pembrolizumab alone arm compared to the pembrolizumab after SBRT arm at 12 weeks
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pertuzumab (rhuMAb 2C4) in participants with metastatic breast cancer which has progressed during or after standard chemotherapy and which is not amenable to curative therapy. Those who are maintaining a response to therapy or who have stable disease at the end of the formal study period will continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Approximately 120 participants will be enrolled.
Fluconazole is the first-line agent in the treatment of invasive candidiasis. Studies showed inappropriate drug exposure causes high mortality in critically ill patients. Under-dosing and ineffective fluconazole trough serum concentrations were found in a recent retrospective study. Variability in fluconazole exposure can be easily measured with therapeutic drug monitoring. For patient groups who are at risk for drug underexposure, therapeutic drug monitoring can be valuable regards decreasing mortality.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to investigate safety, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of concizumab administered subcutaneously to haemophilia A subjects.
Investigation of pharmacological effects, drug blood levels and safety of an intrauterine system releasing the study drug BAY1007626 in comparison to Mirena and Jaydess in healthy young women treated for 90 days to determine the drug dose for further development
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the combination of rhuMab 2C4 (Perjeta) and docetaxel (Taxotere) in participants with advanced solid tumors that have progressed during or after standard therapy, or for which no standard therapy is available. Participants will be enrolled and evaluated for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in escalating-dose cohorts in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Background of the study: Swallowing dysfunction and xerostomia are the most frequently reported radiation-induced side effects (RISE) after (chemo) radiation ((CH) RT) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients and have a major impact on the general dimensions of quality of life (QoL). In radiation0oncology, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models based on dose-volume parameters being used to determine the risk of acute and late RISE. NTCP models containing genetic determinants of radiosensitivity, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), may improve model performance and thus enable more individualized radiotherapy. Information of the predictive value of SNPs or SNP signatures among patients with HNC is currently not available. Objective of the study: The main objective of this project will be to test the hypothesis that SNP profiles can improve the performance of predictive models for the most frequently reported late RISE, i.e. dysphagia, in HNC patients after curative (CH) RT. Secondary objectives will be improvement of NTCP models for HNC patients by adding SNP profiles predictive of (1) acute mucositis; (2) acute dysphagia; (3) salivary dysfunction; (4) acute xerostomia; (5) late xerostomia; (6) osteoradionecrosis; (7) hypothyroidism; (8) patient-rated HNC symptoms and ; (9) quality of life.
EBUS elastography is a method to determine stiffness of lymph nodes, based on the minute deformation of the node by the beating heart. Whether EBUS elastography may further increase the sensitivity to predict the presence or absence of malignancy is unclear. We suggest to use EBUS elastography strain pattern analysis for this assessment and correlate these measurements with the final pathology outcome to determine NPV, PPV, sensitivity and specificity of this analysis to predict the presence or absence of malignancy in patients with (suspected) lung cancer in a prospectively obtained observational cohort study.
Rationale: An anatomical surgical resection is considered to be the standard of care in fit patients who present with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, surgery is less frequently performed in both elderly patients (aged ≥75 years), who represent the fastest-growing group of patients with stage I/II NSCLC, and in patients who have significant co-morbidity. Following the introduction of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), an outpatient treatment that is typically delivered in between 3-8 fractions, the median survival of all elderly patients undergoing radiotherapy in The Netherlands increased by 9.3 months. Randomized trials comparing SABR and surgery have yet to be completed and results of the ongoing ACOSOG Z4032 studies will not be available in the within 5 years. A recent data retrospective study comparing both modalities has raised interesting questions about the impact of local therapy on recurrence patterns. It was found that a better loco-regional disease control rate was achieved with SABR. Objective: To study the effect of surgery and SABR on both immunostimulatory (with primary endpoint CD8 positive cells) and immunosuppressive cells in peripheral blood in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer who are treated with either modality. Study population: 40 patients with cT1-2aN0M0 either cytologically or histologically proven NSCLC. Main study parameters/endpoints: To determine whether an increase in CD8 activity can be established after SABR in patients with early stage lung cancer and to compare this increase with that in patients undergoing a surgical intervention. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Only risks in participation are the risks with drawing blood. Subjects will not have any benefits. This pilot study will be used to generate information concerning both treatments useful for the decision to plan a future study in a larger series of patients.
The purpose of this study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab, and nivolumab combination therapy, to treat patients who have virus-associated tumors. Certain viruses have been known to play a role in tumor formation and growth. This study will investigate the effects of the study drugs, in patients who have the following types of tumors: - Anal canal cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Cervical cancer - Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) positive gastric cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Merkel Cell Cancer - Penile cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Vaginal and vulvar cancer-No longer enrolling this tumor type - Nasopharyngeal Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type - Head and Neck Cancer - No longer enrolling this tumor type
