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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility if a remotely administered smartphone app can increase the volume and intensity of physical activity in daily life in patients with isolated Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder over a long period of time (24 months). Participants will be tasked to achieve an incremental increase of daily steps (volume) and amount of minutes exercised at a certain heart rate (intensity) with respect to their own baseline level. Motivation with regards to physical activity will entirely be communicated through the study specific Slow Speed smartphone app. Primary outcomes will be compliance expressed as longitudinal change in digital measures of physical activity (step count) measured using a Fitbit smartwatch. Exploratory outcomes entail retention rate, completeness of remote digital biomarker assessments, digital prodromal motor and non-motor features of PD, blood biomarkers and brain imaging markers. Using these biomarkers, we aim to develop a composite score (prodromal load score) to estimate the total prodromal load. An international exercise study with fellow researchers in the United States and United Kingdom are currently in preparation (Slow-SPEED). Our intention is to analyse overlapping outcomes combined where possible through a meta-analysis plan, to obtain insight on (determinants of) heterogeneity in compliance and possible efficacy across subgroups
The purpose of this single-center trial is to examine the effects of a slow-breathing technique performed at induction of anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer on anxiety, scored by Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, state scale (STAI-S),13 compared to usual care.
The objective of this prospective international cohort is to evaluate the LUMENEYE rectoscope for assessment on tumor response after total neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer. Patients included in this study will be patients who initially will be good candidates for organ preservation. The participating centers are all expert centers in tumor assessment. All patient assessments after neoadjuvant treatment for rectal adenocarcinoma will be included in each centre.
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study in mutiple myeloma with newly diagnosed and treatment-naïve participants for whom high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation is part of the intended treatment plan. The study is evaluating a technique called Mass Spectrometry Minimal Residual Disease (MS-MRD) using blood samples and compares it with the minimal residual disease (MRD) technique using bone marrow samples.
Multicenter, prospective, non randomized, single arm evaluation of patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and/or fecal incontinence (FI) employing the Axonics recharge free SNM System.
Rationale: Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) in mechanical ventilation is associated with adverse patient outcome such as a prolonged stay in the ICU and even mortality. The prevalence of asynchronies is, however, difficult to quantify. It is common to use only the pressure and flow signal of the ventilator to detect asynchronies. The detection method is often based on definitions. The investigators will use new techniques (esophageal pressure signal and machine learning (ML)) to improve detection and quantification of patient-ventilator asynchronies. The hypothesis is that an algorithm which uses the Pes signal and ML to detect and quantify asynchronies is superior to previous techniques. Objective: 1. To develop an asynchrony detection algorithm based on pressure, flow and Pes signal using ML. 2. To develop a second algorithm with the same ML technique based on pressure an flow signal only. 3. To compare the performance of these models in comparison with an expert team and with each other. Study design: The investigators will collect internal data from the ventilator connected to patients on mechanical ventilation (population described below). First, the investigators will, with a dedicated expert team, identify and annotate the asynchronies based on visual inspection of the pressure, flow and Pes signal. Second, the investigators will develop an ML algorithm which will be trained with the annotated data from the visual inspection. Third, the performance of the AI algorithm will be compared with the performance of the expert panel using newly obtained data. Fourth, the performance of the AI algorithm will be compared with the second algorithm which uses the pressure and flow signal only. Study population: All patients admitted to the adult ICU of the LUMC on mechanical ventilation who are ventilated > 24 hours and are equipped with an esophageal balloon catheter. Intervention (if applicable): None. Main study parameters/endpoints: The performance of the detection algorithm.
In daily practice, doctors and dietitians in the clinic receive many questions in general from patients with a Mitochondrial Disease (MD), and more specific whether nutritional changes can alleviate their symptoms. Mitochondrial Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (MIDD) is due to a mitochondrial mutation at the m.3243A>G locus. Nutrition is known to affect disease burden in MIDD. Which diet does this best is unknown. Very low carbohydrate high fat diets improve mitochondrial function in isolated cells and in mice. Whether it does so in people with MIDD is unknown. Therefore, the objective of the study is to explore the effect of a low carbohydrate- high fat diet (LCHF) on clinical symptoms (Goal Attainment Scaling) and gut microbiome in patients with MIDD due to the m.3243A>G mutation. A total of 20 adult patients with the above mentioned characteristics will be randomized to receive first usual care during three months (control period), followed by LCHF dietary intervention for the next three months (intervention period), or vice versa.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess the potential of advanced MRI for improved radiotherapy target delineation in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the coverage of the recurrence volume by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the coverage by the clinical radiotherapy plan? - How does the distribution of the dose to organs at risk by a radiotherapy plan based on advanced MRI compare to the distribution by the clinical radiotherapy plan? Participants will undergo an extended MRI-protocol prior to radiotherapy. This extended MRI-protocol includes the clinical brain tumor imaging protocol plus additional advanced MRI-sequences. Radiation treatment and patient follow-up will occur according to the clinical standard.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ALXN2220 in the treatment of adult participants with ATTR-CM by evaluating the difference between the ALXN2220 and placebo groups as assessed by the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality (ACM) and total cardiovascular (CV) clinical events.
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, Phase 2 study in high risk smoldering myeloma patients. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM. The key-secondary objective is to determine the safety of Elranatamab in patients with previously untreated high-risk SMM.
