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 purpose of this study is to evaluate desmoteplase (which is a manufactured protein derived from the saliva of the vampire bat) in dissolving clots that are blocking the flow of blood through one (or more) of the blood vessels supplying the brain, thereby reopening the blocked blood vessel and allowing blood to flow again in individuals suffering from ischemic stroke.
Ageing and the availability of medication has led to an increase of elderly male patients being treated for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), or voiding problems ("prostate problems"). However, guidelines are vague as to which patients should and which should not be treated, and how. Although several treatment modalities have proven efficacy in selected populations, it is unclear how effective these treatments are in daily practice. This study investigates the hypothesis that a treatment protocol in which clear indications are formulated for all treatment modalities is more effective, as compared to current usual primary care, in reducing both symptoms as related to the quality of voiding in elderly males.
The purpose of this trial is to study the effects of oral vitamin B12 supplementation and vitamin B12 combined with folic acid supplementation on cognitive performance for 24 weeks in elderly people with mild vitamin B12 deficiency.
The objectives of this study are to compare the anti-tumor activity as measured by Progression Free Survival (PFS) and tolerability of Sorafenib in combination with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in combination with placebo in subjects with unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma who progressed after receiving only one prior therapy containing Dacarbazine (DTIC) or Temozolomide (TMZ).
Study TMC114-C214 is a randomized, controlled, open-label trial to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TMC114 boosted with low dose ritonavir (RTV) versus Kaletra (LPV)/RTV in lopinavir-naïve treatment-experienced HIV-1 infected patients.
The objective of the SOFA trial is to investigate whether supplemental intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) from fish oil can reduce the recurrence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if folic acid supplementation can slow down atherosclerotic progression, age-related cognitive decline and age-related hearing loss.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, biologic activity, and pharmacokinetics of AMN107 in six groups of patients with one of the following conditions: Relapsed/refractory Ph+ Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (arm 1) Group A - Imatinib failure only (arms 2, 3 and 4) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Chronic Phase (CP) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Accelerated Phase (AP) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Blast Crisis (BC) Group B - Imatinib and other TKI failure (arms 2, 3 and 4) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Chronic Phase (CP) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Accelerated Phase (AP) - imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML - Blast Crisis (BC) Hypereosinophilic syndrome/chronic eosinophilic leukemia (HES/CEL) (arm 5) Systemic mastocytosis (Sm) (arm 6)
Glucontrol is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-centric study. The present study will compare the effects of two regimens of insulin therapy, respectively titrated to achieve a blood sugar level between 4.4 and 6.1 mmol/l (80 and 110 mg/dl, respectively) and between 7.8 and 10.0 mmol/l (140 and 180 mg/dl, respectively). This project aims at defining whether a tight glucose control by insulin improves the vital outcome in a mixed population of critically ill patients (around 3000 patients). Secondary outcome variables will include in-hospital and 28-day mortality, lengths of stays in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and in the hospital, length of ICU stay without life-support therapy, number and clinical signs of episodes of hypoglycemia, rates of infections and organ failures, and number of red-cell transfusions.
This 3 arm study will compare the safety and efficacy, with regard to reduction of signs and symptoms, of tocilizumab versus placebo in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) currently on MTX therapy, and who have had an inadequate response to prior therapy with an anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agent. Patients will be randomized to receive tocilizumab 4mg/kg iv, tocilizumab 8mg/kg or placebo iv, every 4 weeks. All patients will also receive methotrexate 10-25mg/week. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
