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.
To study in clinically stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with muscle atrophy: 1. The short-term effects of 4 months exercise training including nutritional supplementation versus exercise training alone on physical functioning (skeletal muscle strength and exercise capacity) and body composition. 2. The long-term effects of 4 months of exercise training and nutritional supplementation followed by 8 months of nutritional counseling (with supplementation on advice) and feedback on physical activity level versus 4 months of exercise training and 8 months with feedback on physical activity level alone on physical functioning, body composition and cardiometabolic risk profile; 3. The cost-effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation and nutritional intervention versus exercise rehabilitation alone.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective with or without radiation therapy in treating nonmetastatic retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy followed by surgery to see how well it works compared with surgery alone in treating patients with previously untreated nonmetastatic retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma.
This study is designed to compare the treatment of 2 groups in patients with Achilles tendinopathy: autologous tenocytes injection in combination with exercises versus saline injection in combination with exercises
Our purpose of this study is to determine whether bright light therapy is effective for reducing the incidence and the duration of delirium compared to the usual treatment in patients at the Intensive Care Unit. Our hypothesis is that bright light therapy is effective for reducing the incidence and duration of delirium in patients at the Intensive Care Unit Patients will be assigned to a chamber with or without bright light therapy. This assignment is based on occupation of ICU beds and availability of nurses and is therefore independent from patients characteristics. Patients will be included following the inclusion criterion and exclusion criteria. Patients assigned to a chamber with bright light therapy will receive light therapy for three hours in the morning, from eight o'clock till eleven o'clock. The Confusion Assessment Method-score (CAM-score) and the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale-score (RASS-score) will be performed three times at one day by ICU nurses, this is according to the existing routine. Besides this, an extra CAM-score and a clinical assessment will be performed once a day by a trained non-clinician, to determine the presence of delirium. The use of sedatives, haldol and fixation will be registered to determine the occurrence, duration and severity of delirium. Eventually the most important outcomes will be the clinical assessment of the patients, the CAM-score and the use of haldol. The primary outcome of this study is the duration of delirium, defined in number of days.
Monitoring and optimizing tissue oxygenation (StO2) in high-risk surgery and/or high-risk surgical patients may decrease the risk of postoperative complications. Tissue hypoxia occurs frequently during high-risk surgery in high-risk patients. The investigators want to see if an algorithm aimed at optimizing intraoperative tissue oxygenation reduces perioperative complications as well as length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU LOS), 28-day mortality, and the duration of mechanical ventilation in these patients.
The PROMUS Element™ clinical trial (PLATINUM-PLUS) consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the European Union (EU) which will enroll approximately 2980 subjects (2:1 randomization PROMUS Element™: Xience™ Prime) in a Population of consecutive, all comers in the reimbursed indications per-country All subjects will be screened per the protocol required inclusion/exclusion criteria.
The purpose of this study is to examine how well two medicines in combination (solifenacin succinate and mirabegron) work in the treatment of bladder problems over a 12-week period.
This is a Phase 1, dose escalation trial evaluating the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ABT-767 in subjects with advanced Breast Cancer 1 or 2 gene (BRCA1 or BRCA2)-mutated solid tumors and high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This is a Phase 3, open label, long term follow-up (LTFU), multicenter, noncomparative, and single arm study of brivaracetam (BRV).
The purpose of this study is 1. To describe patient characteristics and drug usage among children that are prescribed esomeprazole for the first time and to compare them with patients who are prescribed other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2-receptor antagonists for the first time. 2. To ascertain all incident hospitalized cases of angioneurotic oedema, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, failure to thrive, convulsions/seizures, acute interstitial nephritis and thrombocytopenia among new users in the three cohorts of esomeprazole, other PPIs and H2-receptor antagonists.
