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 Ongoing Telmisartan Alone and in combination wiht Ramipril Global Endpoint trial (ONTARGET): The primary objectives are to determine if (a) telmisartan 80mg daily and ramipril 10mg daily combination therapy is more effective in reducing the composite endpoint of Cardiovascular Death (CV) death, Myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or hospitalization for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) compared with ramipril 10mg alone; and (b) telmisartan 80mg daily is at least as effective as (i.e. not less effective than) ramipril 10mg daily, on this endpoint. Telmisartan Randomised Assessment Study in Angiotension converting Enzyme inhibitor intolerant subjects with Cardiovascular Disease. (TRANSCEND): The primary objective of the study is to determine if treatment with telmisartan 80mg daily is superior to placebo reducing the composite endpoint of Cardiovascular Death (CV), Myocardial Infarction ( MI)I, stroke or hospitalization for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) in patients who are intolerant to Angiotension Converting Enzyme inhibitors.
The purpose of the trial is to determine if extended-release dipyridamole + aspirin [Aggrenox, Asasa ntin] is superior to clopidogrel [Plavix], and if telmisartan [Micardis, Gliosartan, Kinzal, Kinzalm ono, Predxal, Pritor, Samertan, Telmisartan] is superior to placebo, in the presence of background antihypertensive therapy, in prevention of a second stroke in patients who have recently suffered a stroke and therefore are at high risk of suffering another one.
To collect additional confirmatory data on alteplase(rt-PA) in the European setting and to demonstrate that the treatment of patients between 3 and 4.30 hours of onset of symptoms of acute ischemic stroke with rt-PA compared to placebo-treated patients will result in an improved clinical outcome without increase of fatality rate.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of tiotropium compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with COPD and a concomitant diagnosis of asthma
Ulcerative colitis is a disease of the large bowel (colon) and rectum in which the lining of the bowel becomes red and swollen. Over time, patients with this disease may experience acute episodes of diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain followed by periods of time without disease symptoms. 5-ASA drugs are a standard treatment for ulcerative colitis. Mesalazine is an experimental drug designed to gradually release 5-ASA into the areas of large bowel associated with ulcerative colitis. This study will test the safety and efficacy of mesalazine in keeping ulcerative colitis in remission.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of transfusions with platelets stored in platelet additive solution II compared to plasma storage.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, an autosomal recessive condition, is mainly caused by mutations in the gene 21-hydroxylase and is treated with glucocorticoids in a slightly supraphysiological dose. Adult patients seem to be characterized by insulin resistance, which may be caused by the glucocorticoids and/or the accompanying obesity. The hypothesis of this study is that pioglitazone can improve insulin sensitivity and correlated cardiovascular risk factors in this specific group of patients. This will be tested in a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial; insulin sensitivity will be quantified by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp studies.
Many diabetics gain weight while on insulin therapy. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of the combination of glimepiride and short-acting insulin on weight control and glucose control. In this study, 150 diabetics whose diabetic control is inadequate while on maximal oral treatment will be randomized to either the new combination treatment or twice daily injections with a mixture of short- and longacting insulin or once-daily injection with a basal insulin analog. The study will compare glucose control and weight gain during a year after randomisation between the three treatments.
The purpose of this study is to explore diazoxide efficacy in treatment of obese men and assessment of maximal insulin suppression in obese men without hyperglycaemia. Obesity is associated with markedly elevated plasma insulin levels throughout the day. The concept is that obese subjects predominantly develop lean tissue resistance against the glucoregulatory actions of insulin, but remain relatively sensitive to the lipogenic and antilipolytic effects of insulin in adipose tissue. According to this theory, suppression of hyperinsulinism by diazoxide, a well known inhibitor of glucose stimulated insulin secretion, might be useful to treat obesity because it will help to reverse the process of lipid storage.
The purpose of the study is to compare pregabalin to Venlafaxine XR and placebo in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
