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.
30-40% of patients with lung cancer will develop bone metastases during the course of their disease, which can lead to pain, decreased mobility and skeletal complications. This study will investigate the effect of zoledronic acid on preventing or delaying the development of bone metastases and the impact on disease progression/survival in patients with stage IIIA and IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
This study uses a single arm, multi-center, open-label trial design. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox (ICL670) in patients with evidence of transfusion induced iron overload.
The purpose of this study is to collect the long-term (12 months) safety data on aliskiren 300 mg when taken in combination with HCTZ 25 mg.
Post-menopausal breast cancer patients will receive letrozole 2.5 mg daily for the treatment of breast cancer and will be randomized to a treatment group to receive either upfront zoledronic acid 4 mg IV 15-minute infusion every 6 months or delayed start zoledronic acid 4 mg IV 15-minute infusion every 6 months. Delayed start zoledronic acid will be initiated when either the Bone Mineral Density T-score is below -2 Standard Deviations at either the lumbar spine or hip or any clinical fracture unrelated to trauma or an asymptomatic fracture discovered at the month 36 scheduled visit. Letrozole 2.5 mg will be given daily for 5 years.

The role of antibiotic therapy in patients with COPD remains controversial. While the outcome of several clinical trials is in favour of antibiotics, the quality of these studies in insufficient. In this study the efficacy of doxycycline is compared to placebo. All concommitant treatment (steroids, bronchodilator therapy, physiotherapy) is standardized. The investigators hypothesize that patients with an acute exacerbations will have a better outcome when treated with antibiotics.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of addition of corticosteroid therapy to antibiotics in patient admitted with Community-acquired pneumonia. The hypothesis is: Prednisolone in combination with antibiotic treatments is effective in improving clinical outcome in patients hospitalized with CAP.
This is a prospective randomized study to compare the influence of area under the curve (AUC)-monitored dual treatment with steroids in combination with either a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on the progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease in renal transplant recipients. Since CNI have a detrimental effect on cardiovascular risk factors, it is the researchers' hypothesis that renal recipients after CNI withdrawal will have more reduction of markers of cardiovascular disease.
This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational agent administered in addition to a standard anti-emetic regimen for the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.
Human Papilloma virus (HPV) are viruses that cause a common infection of the skin and genitals in men and women. Several types of HPV infection are transmitted by sexual activity and, in women, can infect the cervix (part of the uterus or womb). This infection often goes away by itself, but if it does not go away (this is called persistent infection), it can lead in women over a long period of time to cancer of the cervix. If a woman is not infected by HPV, it is very unlikely that she will get cervical cancer. This study will evaluate the consistency of consecutive vaccine lots and the non-inferiority of modified manufacturing processes of GSK Biologicals HPV-16/18 vaccine and the vaccine safety, over 12 months, in young adolescents and women of 10-25 years of age at study start. Approximately 750 study subjects will receive different lots of the HPV vaccine administered intramuscularly according to a 0-1-6 month schedule.
