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.
Physical inactivity and overweight are two accepted risk factors for breast cancer. However, because of their correlation it is not clear which is most relevant to risk. The investigators now set out to study whether physical activity in addition to weight loss by diet only, affects sex hormone levels, known to be related to breast cancer risk. In the SHAPE-2 study 250 healthy overweight/obese and physically inactive women are randomly allocated to a diet-induced weight loss group, a combined exercise- and diet-induced weight loss group or a control group. The aim of the first two intervention groups is to loose 5-6 kg of bodyweight, either by dieting or mainly by increased physical activity. Measurements are performed at baseline and after 21 weeks, the end of the study period. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the effect of weight loss mainly driven by exercise compared to equivalent weight loss due to nutritional calorie restriction on breast cancer biomarkers.
This investigation is designed with the hypothesis that using a quadripolar left ventricular lead results in less interventions when dealing with high pacing thresholds and Phrenic Nerve Stimulation (PNS), both at implant and during follow-up, compared to standard bipolar left ventricular leads.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the application of PRP leads to faster wound healing, less wound healing disorders, less pain and faster functional recovery after subacromial surgery.
Ipilimumab, an antibody that blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4, and GVAX have demonstrated anti-tumor activity in prostate cancer. Pre-clinical studies with this combination have demonstrated potent synergy. The purpose of this study is to investigate, using a phase-I 3+3 dose escalation design followed by an expansion cohort, the safety and efficacy of combined treatment with GVAX and ipilimumab in castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRPC) patients.
The objective of this study is to assess the risk profile in patients with atrial fibrillation, which represents the degree of changes in the atrial tissue and which can help predict in which patients rhythm control will be successful. This risk profile will consist of a combination of underlying (heart) disease and risk factors, measurements obtained from echocardiograms, and circulating biomarkers. Ultimately this risk profile can be used to guide type of rhythm control therapy in individual patients with atrial fibrillation.
The objective of this study is to assess the risk profile in patients with atrial fibrillation, which represents the degree of changes (remodeling) in the atrial tissue and which can help to predict in which patients rhythm control will be successful. This risk profile will consist of a combination of underlying (heart) disease and risk factors, as measured with use of parameters obtained with echocardiography, circulating biomarkers and other relevant clinical data. Ultimately this risk profile can be used to guide type of (rhythm) control therapy in individual patients with atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zevalin compared with observation alone in participants who are in PET-negative complete remission after first-line R-CHOP or R-CHOP like therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ileal infusion of casein and sucrose can activate the ileal brake.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a personalized nutrition intervention on the dietary pattern of apparently healthy adults with one or more children aged 4 to 12 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the uptake, (semi-)quantification and localization of the VEGF targeting fluorescent tracer bevacizumab-IDRye800CW in breast cancer tissue, surrounding healthy tissue, tumor margins and lymph nodes. This is measured in surgical specimens after a single intravenous administration of 4,5 bevacizumab-IDRye800CW, using fluorescence microscopy and macroscopy techniques. Also the safety of bevacizumab-IDRye800CW is assessed. Another purpose is to assess the abilities of three different fluorescent signal detection systems to detect the fluorescent signal pre- and intra-operatively.
