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.
This multicenter, open-label, phase 3 extension study will investigate the safety and efficacy of rVIII-SingleChain for prophylaxis and on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes in at least 200 previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe congenital hemophilia A and previous exposure to FVIII products who achieve at least 100 exposure days (EDs) to rVIII-SingleChain in this study, as well as in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with no previous exposure to any FVIII product who achieve at least 50 EDs to rVIII-SingleChain in this study. A substudy (open to both PTPs and PUPs) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in surgery. A substudy (open to PUPs who develop an inhibitor to rVIII-SingleChain) will investigate the use of rVIII-SingleChain in immune tolerance induction (ITI) therapy.
Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a small (< 10%) chance of long-term survival. Despite the treatment of elderly AML patients with intensive chemotherapy, the survival has not been improved during the last decades. The purpose of this study is to determine whether frontline therapy with a 10-day decitabine schedule provides a better survival than standard intensive combination chemotherapy in elderly AML patients (>= 60 years).
The primary objective of this trial is as follows: To determine the pharmacokinetics of micafungin given twice weekly in patients at risk for developing an invasive fungal disease (patients who are being treated for acute or chronic graft versus host disease; patients receiving reduced intensity conditioning for Stem Cell Transplant (SCT); receiving first remission induction chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leucaemia (AML)/MyeloDysplasticSyndrome (MDS)) compared to the pharmacokinetics of micafungin given daily. The secondary objective of this trial is as follows: To determine whether adequate exposure of micafungin is attained. To determine the safety of micafungin in this patient population
The investigators propose to test the effectiveness of a technique that uses a modified commercially available ultrasound system used for cardiac imaging, and a commercially available ultrasound contrast agent (microbubbles) to break up the blood clots that cause heart attacks. The ultrasound and microbubbles will be applied as soon as possible to patients presenting to the emergency department, after an EKG confirms that a heart attack is ongoing. Patients who provide emergent consent will be randomized to either conventional therapy for a heart attack, or conventional therapy and ultrasound with microbubbles. The ultrasound will be applied both before and after emergent heart catheterization, in order to break up the blood clots that are not only in the artery supplying the heart muscle, but also in the small branches (capillaries) that are fed by this artery. Following the randomized treatment, patients will be followed for the development of any complications (recurrent heart attack, heart failure, or need for defibrillator placement) as well as by echo and cardiac MRI to determine how much heart muscle was salvaged by the treatment.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled phase III trial designed to assess the clinical performance of gemcitabine with cisplatin and observation vs. standard of care (observation alone in stage 1 and capecitabine and observation in stage 2) in patients after curative intent resection of BTC.
Assessment of the safety, tolerability and early signs of efficacy of three times a day orally administered BAY63-2521 in adult delta F508 homozygous Cystic Fibrosis patients not on treatment with Orkambi
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate and routes of excretion of OPC and the mass balance in urine, faeces and expired air.
This clinical investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, pivotal trial.This trial is being performed in order to demonstrate the sensivity of the diagnostic feature "Physiological Diagnostic" (PhD).
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of two EUS-guided tissue acquisition devices; the 25G Echotip Ultra Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) device and the 20G Echotip ProCore Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) device.
BACKGROUND: Spread of metastatic melanoma to the groin lymph nodes (LN) is a common event affecting about 350 people a year in Australia. Globally it has been shown that patients with involved groin LN, without proven pelvic LN disease on imaging receive 1 of 3 management strategies in equal proportions - inguinal lymphadenectomy (IL); ilio-inguinal lymphadenectomy (I-IL); or variable use of either depending on circumstances. Different experts have strong and polarised opinions favouring either IL or more extensive I-IL with existing cases series reporting conflicting data on best cancer outcomes. No high level evidence proves which operation is best. HYPOTHESIS: There will be no significant difference in DFS between patients having IL or I-IL, conditional on PET/CT scan showing no evidence of pelvic disease at the time of diagnosis of groin LN metastatic melanoma. AIMS: To provide a rational evidence base for management for melanoma to the groin LNs by randomly assessing the effect of each operation on DFS, distant DFS, overall survival (OS), morbidity - including early complications and longer-term rates of lymphedema as well as comprehensively assessed QOL. Also to clarify the reliability of PET/CT scans for staging pelvic LNs and evaluate any health economic benefits of I-IL over IL. TARGET POPULATION: To recruit 634 patients in 5 years. DESIGN: An Australian led, international, multi-centre, non-inferiority, phase III, prospective, randomised clinical trial comparing IL or I-IL for patients with metastatic melanoma to groin LNs and no evidence of pelvic disease on PET/CT. ENDPOINTS: DFS, Distant DFS, OS and QOL at 5 years. Accuracy of PET/CT for pelvic LN metastases. OUTCOMES: International standardization of care, improved cancer outcomes, improved QOL for patients with groin metastatic melanoma. Proof of principle about extent of surgery when PET/CT is clear in adjacent LN areas, leading to clinical trials investigating management of other lymph node fields.
