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 presented study aims to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and increased symptoms of anxiety and depression by using the disease specific CBT program (PASCET-PI)in order to improve quality of life and to improve the clinical course of disease.
Published prognostic scores have limitations in prediction of long term survival after stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases. Moreover, no validated tools are available for prediction of local failure. The value of radiomics is evaluated in this perspective.
The research leading consortium to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme [FP7/2007-2013] under grant agreement no 602461 (www.biocog.eu). The investigators will establish valid biomarkers panels (neuroimaging and molecular) for risk and clinical outcome prediction of postoperative delirium (POD)/postoperative cognitive deficit (POCD) in elective surgical patients (Age ≥ 65 years) in study centers in Berlin,Germany (data collection within 2 years after initial hospital stay) and Utrecht, The Netherlands (data collection within 1 year after initial hospital stay), thereof cerebrospinal fluid (only once on day of surgery in patients with planned spinal anesthesia/combined spinal epidural analgesia in patients, only in Berlin). A control group of ASA II/III- patients is collected for measuring the learning experience during the cognitive testings. The participants are matched on age, education, and gender to the study patients. The ASA II/III- control patients receive additionally MRI-scan (3 Tesla) at baseline, after 3 months and after 1 (Utrecht) and 2 years (Berlin). To analyze scanner variability we additionally measure at maximum 20 subjects (Age ≥ 65 years, ASA I and II) from Utrecht in the MRI scanner (3-Tesla) in Berlin and vice versa. A study group at maximum (n= 80) and is collected for measuring 7 Tesla MRI at two timepoints (Baseline and 90 days).The primary endponit of this substudy is gamma amino-butyric acid concentration in CNS after 3-months (measured by MRI). A retrospective comparison group (extracting 8000 intensive care unit patient data from the patient data management system during the BioCog study period in 2016) to analyse economic effects that are caused by the implementation of quality indicators in health care. An interim-analysis is performed on the primary endpoint after 400 included patients. The resulting (multivariate) expert system is expected: 1) to support clinical decision-making in patient care, e.g. to balance the individual POD/POCD risk against the expected overall clinical outcome of an (elective) surgical intervention, 2) to allow the design of more sophisticated and hypothesis-driven clinical studies and drug trials (translational research) in the future. The latter will be possible on the basis of biomarker-based sub-grouping of patients and a better understanding of relevant pathophysiological processes. Furthermore, a state-of-the art clinical database and biobank will be created that does not yet exist worldwide. Both the expert system and the reference database/biobank will expand the leadership of the contributing academic institutions in this particular research area. In addition, the newly created biobank will become an integral part of the European Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Research Infrastructure (BBMRI) which allows top address specific and hypothesis-driven research questions. Most notably, the developed (multivariate) expert system also has the potential for commercialization. Possible customers are: 1) physicians and hospital departments being involved in pre-surgical decision making, 2) pharmaceutical industry intending to conduct biomarker-based drug trials in POD/POCD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of veliparib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel versus the Investigator's choice of standard chemotherapy in adults with metastatic or advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether caffeine improves attention.
The primary objectives of the Phase 1b part of the study are to evaluate the safety, as assessed by incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT), of talimogene laherparepvec in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with previously untreated, unresectable, stage IIIB to IVM1c melanoma. The primary objective of Phase 3 are to evaluate the efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec with pembrolizumab versus placebo with pembrolizumab, as assessed by progression-free survival (PFS) (response evaluation by blinded independent central review using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1) and overall survival (OS).
The purpose of this study is to document clinical utility and distribution of indications for short term pancreatic stenting, and stent type preference by indication at tertiary referral centers with expertise in pancreatic endotherapy.
A European multi-centre, randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trial of Pirfenidone in bronchiolitis-obliterans-syndrome grade 1-3 in lung transplant recipients. Randomized double blinded, placebo controlled study. Eligible patients are to be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Pirfenidone 2403 mg/d or the matching placebo treatment for 6 months. Primary objective To evaluate the effect of Pirfenidone on the change in FEV1 in liters over 6 months in lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
This study will be carried out as a retrospective, non-interventional observational review of medical records for patients in multiple countries with platinum-sensitive recurrent serous ovarian cancer. The objectives are to describe in a real-world population, treatment patterns, BRCA mutation testing and results, overall survival, health care utilization and also to estimate rates of selected treatment- and/or disease-related side effects
The Theia-study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm management (cohort) study. Consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute, recurrent, ipsilateral, proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg, who fulfil all the inclusion criteria and meet none of the exclusion criteria, are eligible for inclusion and will be managed according to the result of a magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) of the affected leg. The MRDTI is to be performed and adjudicated within 24 hours of study inclusion. The final treatment decision will be made based on this ruling of the MRDTI. In case of a positive MRDTI signal, patients will be treated with therapeutically dosed anticoagulants or modified in patients with a recurrent DVT on anticoagulant therapy. Patients with a negative MRDTI ruling will be left untreated, or treatment will be remained unadjusted if they are on anticoagulant treatment at inclusion. All patients with negative MRDTI will be subjected to a standardized compression ultrasonography (CUS) within 48 hours after initial presentation. The latter CUS serves as a reference test in case the patient returns with symptoms of ipsilateral recurrence in the future, and will not be used for management decisions at baseline. The study flowchart can be found in Appendix A. All patients will be followed for three months for the occurrence of acute recurrent venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). In case of suspected recurrent VTE, objective testing including either computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for PE or CUS for DVT will be performed. Additionally, in case of a proven ipsilateral recurrent DVT during follow-up, MRDTI will be repeated.
