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 is a pilot study for evaluation of 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging as predictive biomarker during treatment with everolimus in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Patients with progressive disease during the last year will receive treatment with everolimus 10 mg/day orally and 89Zr-bevacizumab PET imaging will be performed before start of treatment and after 2 and 12 weeks of treatment in the first three patients. If the scan after 2 weeks of treatment is already informative further patients will not undergo a scan at 12 weeks. A scan is considered already informative if both scans show at least 30% decrease in uptake in case of response, or at least 30% increase in uptake in case of disease progression. Four days before the scan patients will be injected intravenously 37 MBq, protein dose 5 mg 89Zr-bevacizumab. At day 1, day 15 and day 99, PET images will be made for visualization and quantification of VEGF in the tumor lesions and blood will be drawn for determination of angiogenesis and mTOR pathway related biomarkers.
The SX-ELLA Stent Esophageal Degradable BD (BD Stent) is designed for dilation of benign esophageal lesions, namely: (1) stenosis (peptic, anastomotic or caustic) refractory to standard therapy, (2) achalasia refractory to standard therapy.
The purpose of the trial was to determine the short-term effects of tolvaptan in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) at various levels of renal function.
This was a Phase II, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dabrafenib administered as a single agent and in combination with trametinib in stage IV disease to subjects with BRAF mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Central confirmation testing for the BRAF V600E mutation was performed and a sufficient number of subjects were enrolled with the intent of having at least 125 centrally confirmed subjects among the three cohorts.
The purpose of this Phase III study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of flexibly dosed retigabine Immediate Release (IR) as adjunctive therapy in adult subjects with partial-onset seizures. In addition, those subjects who successfully completed 20 weeks of adjunctive treatment with retigabine IR in the parent study, RGB113905, and who were thought to have benefitted from treatment will be provided continued access to retigabine IR.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of occupational therapy in Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this study is to compare two invasive treatments of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: Percutaneous radiofrequency catheter ablation and mini invasive thoracoscopic radiofrequency ablation in patients referred for a first time invasive treatment for atrial fibrillation. The hypothesis is, that mini invasive thoracoscopic radiofrequency ablation as a first time invasive treatment is more effective compared to a percutaneous catheter based technique in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to at least one antiarrhythmic drug.
The aim is to demonstrate how fast and to what extent AN-PEP can degrade gluten in vivo in the stomach and how much gluten enters the small intestine. A second question is whether the caloric density of a meal can influence the efficacy of AN-PEP breakdown.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.
In clinical practice language impairment is frequently reported in association with nocturnal epileptiform activity. There is a spectrum of epileptic conditions that are characterized by nocturnal epileptiform activity. From mild to severe this spectrum involves: Rolandic epilepsy (RE), nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE), Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) and electrical status epilepticus during slow wave sleep (ESES). The exact characteristic of the relationship between nocturnal epileptiform activity and language impairment is yet to be explored. The investigators suggest that nocturnal epileptiform EEG discharges and nocturnal epileptic seizures during development will cause diseased neuronal networks that involve language. The diseased neuronal networks are less efficient compared with normal neuronal networks. Objective: Identification of a diseased neuronal network characteristic in children with nocturnal epileptiform activity, which can explain language impairment in these children. For this the investigators will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to analyse brain activity and diffusion weighted MRI to investigate white matter connectivity.
