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.
Immune-mediated diseases are extremely diverse - patients with the same diagnosis may see the disease progress in very different ways, and respond differently to treatments. This is because the course of the disease is influenced by multiple factors, including the patient's genes, immune system, environment, and the microbes living in their gut. Furthermore, all of these factors interact with and impact on one another. As a result, it is very hard to predict how the disease will develop in a specific patient, and which treatments will be effective. Hence, mechanistic understanding of this heterogeneity and biomarkers predictive for disease control and therapy response over time are important prerequisites of a future precision medicine in IMIDs. ImmUniverse has been formed as a European transdisciplinary consortium to tackle these unmet needs and to understand the role of the crosstalk between tissue microenvironment and immune cells in disease progression and response to therapy of ulcerative colitis (UC) and atopic dermatitis (AD). The consortium will combine analysis of tissue-derived signatures with "circulating signatures" detectable in liquid biopsies, employing state-of-the-art profiling technologies to provide new validated diagnostics in IMID that are expected to improve patient management, lead to increased patient well-being and will significantly reduce the socioeconomic burden of these diseases. This study, being Immuniverse work package 5 (WP5), will verify the disease pathway -and mechanism signatures identified in the multi omic discovery WP2 in immune cells in affected tissue and peripheral blood. WP5 aims to further substantiate our understanding of the immune-mediated intestinal disease ulcerative colitis (UC). It will use liquid biopsies (peripheral blood) and affected UC gut inflamed and non-inflamed biopsies to generate transcriptome, proteome, DNA-methylome and miRNA signatures of immune cell subsets and analyse the association between immune cells circulating in peripheral blood and the microenvironment of affected colonic tissue. Also this WP aims to develop a protocol to analyse and sort living immune cells from cryopreserved tissue. Ultimately, the project's findings should contribute to a better, more precise diagnosis for patients; and better information on how severe the disease is likely to be for each individual patient and how it will progress over time. Finally, the project will make it easier for doctors and patients to monitor how well a treatment is working in the future.
The primary purpose of the study is to understand the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of encaleret when compared to standard of care (SoC) treatment in participants with Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1).
The aim of this cluster RCT is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of a Stratified Blended Approach for patients with neck and/or shoulder complaints on pain and disability over 9 months, compared to usual physiotherapy care. Our secondary aims are twofold: - to investigate the effectiveness of the Stratified Blended Approach for patients with neck and/or shoulder complaints on pain intensity, health-related quality of life, illness perceptions, self-management skills, physical activity, exercise adherence, self-perceived effect and satisfaction at 3 and 9 months, compared to usual physiotherapy care; - to investigate the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of the Stratified Blended Approach for patients with neck and/or shoulder complaints, compared to usual physiotherapy care. In the Stratified Blended Approach arm, physiotherapists will match I) the content and intensity of physiotherapy care to the patient's risk of persistent disabling pain, categorized as low, medium or high (using the Keele STarT MSK Tool) and II) the mode of care delivery to the patient's suitability and willingness to receive blended care. The control arm will receive physiotherapy as usual. This study is financially supported by the Scientific College Physiotherapy (WCF), part of the Royal Dutch Association for Physiotherapy (KNGF). WCF has no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscripts. External peer-review took place during the funding process. The results will be publicly disclosed unreservedly.
We will perform a randomized clinical trial with minocycline. Minocycline is an antibiotic of the tetracycline family and known to modulate inflammation, gelatinase activity and angiogenesis, which we know are central mechanisms in CAA-pathology. Our aim is to prove in a randomized clinical trial in a translational setting that minocycline treatment (duration 3 months) can decrease markers of neuroinflammation and the gelatinase pathway in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of persons with D-CAA (n=30) and sporadic-CAA (n=30).
End-ischemic dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE) of human donor livers mitigates ischemia-reperfusion injury, resulting in a reduction of post-reperfusion syndrome, early allograft dysfunction and biliary complications, when compared with static cold storage. End-ischemic DHOPE can be used to prolong donor liver preservation time for up to 24 hours. According to IDEAL-D (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long term study-Framework for Devices), scientific evidence for prolonged DHOPE has currently reached stage 3. Assessment of long-term outcomes after prolonged DHOPE preservation based on real-world data (i.e., IDEAL-D stage 4) is currently still lacking.
An open-label, controlled, randomised, multi-centre Phase 3 trial evaluating renal function in patients with severe anti-GBM disease comparing imlifidase and standard of care (SoC) with SoC alone. All patients will remain in the trial for 24 months.
This is an extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ligelizumab in particiants who have completed a ligelizumab Phase III study in food allergy.
This is a multicenter, randomized (2:1), open-label, controlled Phase 3 trial of XL092 in combination with nivolumab versus sunitinib in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic nccRCC who have not received prior systemic anticancer therapy.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to assess the yield of preoperative endoscopic ultrasound focussed on lymph nodes in patients with presumed resectable perihilar (pCCA), intrahepatic (iCCA) or mid-common bile duct (CBD) cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. The number of patients precluded from surgical work-up due to positive regional or extraregional lymph nodes identified by endoscopic ultrasound guided tissue acquisition 2. Characteristics during endoscopic ultrasound of lymph nodes associated with malignancy
ACNES is a neuropathic pain condition of the abdominal wall. It is a clinical diagnosis based on patient's history and physical examination. No diagnostic test is available to confirm the diagnosis. This pilot study will determine if skin biopsies can be used as diagnostic test. Two 3mm biopsies will be taken and used to count the small nerve fibres in the skin. The number of small nerve fibres of the painful skin will be compared to non-painful skin. Skin biopsy and small fibre nerve count is already used as diagnostic test in patients with small-fibre neuropathy. The investigators hypothesize that patients with ACNES will have a reduced number of small nerve fibres in the affected skin, compared to the non-affected skin.
