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 compare the efficacy of daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone to that of lenalidomide and dexamethasone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (a blood cancer of plasma cells) who are not candidates for high dose chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
This study examines whether the addition of decitabine to the standard Flu/TBI conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation in poor and very poor risk AML patients, reduces the risk of recurrence of the disease. Because decitabine has hardly any side effects, it will likely have little impact on the occurrence of Graft Versus Host Disease. The investigators are looking for a pre-treatment for transplantation which reduces the chance of recurrence of the disease without involving severe damage to normal tissues.
This project will address rare immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) involving the lungs, i.e. interstitial pneumonitis (IP). The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of rituximab (RTX) as a rescue therapy for progressive IMID-IP patients. The primary study parameter is pulmonary function. The secondary objectives are to explore the application of imaging with radiolabeled RTX as early predictor for efficacy of RTX, to study the effects of RTX treatment on quality of life, and to further elucidate the pathophysiology of IMID-IP by analyzing biochemical markers.
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate and describe the long term safety of tolvaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
12-SMI-2014 is a post-market, randomised, pilot study to identify and rate differences in patient experiences with two different types of Spinal Cord Stimulator devices which are routinely used to treat chronic pain.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and performance of the C2 Focal Cryoablation System in patients with BE.
First-in-Human clinical investigation to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the BIOVALVE prosthesis in subjects presenting with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis, which are as judged by the heart team, indicated for transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation
A symptomatic episode of the heart rhythm disorder 'atrial fibrillation' (AF) is a frequent reason for visits to the emergency department. Currently, in the majority of cases, immediate (electrical or pharmacological) cardioversion is chosen, while atrial fibrillation terminates spontaneously in 70% of the cases within 24 hours. A wait-and-see approach with rate-control medication only, and when needed cardioversion within 48 hours of onset of symptoms, could be effective, safe and more cost-effective than current standard of care and could lead to a higher quality of life.
This is the first randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic and open gastrectomy for resectable gastric cancer in a Western population. The hypothesis is that laparoscopic gastrectomy will result in a lower post-operative burden by means of shorter post-operative hospital stay. Secondarily that laparoscopic gastrectomy is hypothesized to be associated with lower post-operative morbidity and readmissions, higher cost-effectiveness, and better post-operative quality of life, with similar mortality and oncologic outcomes, compared to open gastrectomy. The study starts on 1 December 2014. Inclusion and follow-up will take three and five years respectively. Short-term results will be analyzed and published after discharge of the last randomized patient.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of warm blood cardioplegia administration with and without roller pump on perioperative myocardial injury, reflected by postoperative biomarker release, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a minimal extracorporeal circuit (MECC).
