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.
Rationale: The progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass with aging, or sarcopenia, has a major impact on our health care system due to increased morbidity and greater need for hospitalization and/or institutionalization. One way to prevent skeletal muscle loss is to improve dietary intake of the elderly. Both whey and casein seem to offer an anabolic advantage over soy protein for promoting muscle hypertrophy. As a consequence it is assumed that (all) plant based proteins have less potent anabolic properties when compared with animal based proteins. However, there is little theoretical background for such assumptions. Objective: To provide evidence for the efficacy of wheat protein and wheat protein hydrolysate when compared with milk proteins (i.e. whey and casein) as a dietary protein to stimulate postprandial muscle protein synthesis in vivo in healthy older humans. Study design: double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study Study population: 60 healthy non-obese (BMI 18.5-30 kg/m2) older males (age: 65-80 y) Intervention: A protein beverage (350 mL) containing 30 g of whey, casein, wheat protein, or wheat protein hydrolysate or 60 g of wheat protein hydrolysate will be consumed (n=12 per group). Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary study parameters include muscle protein synthesis rates. Secondary study parameters include whole-body protein synthesis, breakdown, oxidation, and net balance. Hypotheses: We hypothesize that ingestion of wheat protein hydrolysate results in a greater muscle protein synthetic response when compared with the intact wheat protein due to its faster digestion and absorption. Furthermore, ingestion of wheat protein hydrolysate results in a higher muscle protein synthetic response when compared with casein, but lower when compared with whey protein. Ingestion of 60 g of wheat protein hydrolysate (amount of leucine equal to 30 g of whey protein) will result in a similar muscle protein synthetic response compared to ingestion of 30 g of whey protein.
Objective of the study is to find the optimal dose of the once daily oral soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator (sGC) BAY1021189 for Phase III that can be given in addition to standard diuretic and comorbidity treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
Objective of the study is to find the optimal dose of the once daily oral soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator (sGC) BAY1021189 for Phase III that can be given in addition to standard therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
This randomized phase 2 trial is studying the effect of adding denosumab to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced lung cancer.
Randomized controlled trial in which the effect is investigated of a radiation boost in addition to standard chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer on complete response rate defined as pathological complete response, in those who undergo surgery, or 2-years local recurrence-free survival (2y-LRFS), in those who opted for a wait and see approach. Secondary objectives are adverse events due to chemoradiation (acute, perioperative and late toxicity), tumor response assessed with MRI, the impact of the boost on local and distant recurrence and survival as well as patient-reported quality of life and workability. The need for this comprehensive study is emphasized by the sub-optimal (radiation-) methods, heterogeneity between and poor reporting in the few previous trials in this field.
The purpose of this study in healthy people is to evaluate safety, toleration and time course of plasma concentration of single oral doses of PF-06372865. The pharmacodynamic activity of PF-06372865 will also be assessed. The effect of food on PK and the PK of PF-06372865 administered as a tablet formulation may also be investigated. Pharmacodynamic interaction between PF-06372865 and lorazepam will be evaluated.
The primary objective of the PHSTT-01 trial is to determine if prostate HistoScanning (HS) analysis can be used to improve the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa), and potentially reduce the burden and number of biopsies in routine clinical practice. Prostate HS is an ultrasound-based tissue characterization technology specifically developed to detect, visualize, and locate tissue suspected of harboring PCa. These suspicious tissues are displayed as red areas on an imaging monitor. Recently a new biopsy guidance tool has been developed that uses the results of the prostate HS analysis. The subjects that will participate in this study are all scheduled for a first biopsy of the prostate. They will initially be imaged using transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to obtain data for prostate HS analysis. The results of HS analysis will be used later in the procedure. Subjects will then undergo a routine systematic 10- to 12-core biopsy procedure using TRUS. This will be followed by a TRUS-guided biopsy that uses the result of prostate HS analysis and new biopsy guidance tool.
This is a 2-year, randomized, multicenter, open-label, 2-arm study evaluating the graft function of everolimus and reduced CNI versus MPA and standard CNI in adult de novo renal transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of carfilzomib, including measuring the amount of the study drug in the blood at certain times following dosing. This study is being done in people with varying degrees of liver function to see if they respond differently to the study drug.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical traction in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome compared to care as usual.
