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.
Phase II study (n=30) to evaluate the safety and feasibility of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with fiducial markers in inoperable patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), 50% of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) die. As most patients die due to brain damage sustained during cardiac arrest and the subsequent reperfusion phase, effective neuroprotective strategies could potentially improve outcome. In animal experiments, 2-Iminobiotin (2-IB), a selective neuronal and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, given upon reperfusion has been shown to improve memory function. Since 2-IB has not shown any safety issues in preclinical and clinical studies. Before embarking on large studies with efficacy as primary endpoint, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics need to be established. Objective: Evaluate short term safety and tolerability, and the pharmacokinetic properties of 2-IB in adult patients after OHCA. Study design: Phase 2, single-centre, open-label, dose-escalation intervention study. Study population: Three cohorts of eight evaluable patients admitted to the ICU after OHCA due to a cardiac cause. Intervention: The first eight patients will receive 0,055 mg/kg 2-IB every 4 hours intravenously, 6 times in total (part A). The second eight patients (cohort B) will receive 0,165 mg/kg every 4h iv, 6 times in total. The third eight patients (cohort C) will receive 0,5 mg/kg every 4h iv, 6 times in total. Medication has to be given as soon as possible and within 6h after OHCA. Escalation to the next dose level will only be done after pharmacokinetic analyses have performed, no relevant safety issues have been encountered, and the DSMB approves to move to the next dose level. Main study parameters/endpoints: Study parameters to evaluate short term safety and tolerability will be vital signs (heart frequency, blood pressure, cardiac ischemia) before and until 15 minutes after administration. (Serious) Adverse Events will be recorded on the ICU (up to 7 days) or until discharge from the ICU. For evaluation of the pharmacokinetics profile of 2-IB, 9 plasma samples will be analysed. Secondary parameters: Biochemical markers Neuron specific Enolase and s100b at 24h and 48h after start of study drug, occurrence of SAEs until 30 days after OHCA including death, long term term efficacy as determined by the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC), the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) or the Telephone Interview Cognitive Status (TICS) scale at 30 days after OHCA.
Patients with locally recurrent BRCA1-like, HER2-negative breast cancer that cannot be treated with curative intent by local treatment (surgery, radiotherapy +/- hyperthermia) or patients with metastatic BRCA1-like, HER2-negative breast cancer that have received a maximum of one prior line of treatment for incurable disease will be treated with Niraparib until disease progression
Rationale: Ankle fractures are common traumatic lesions. In order to restore the anatomical situation of the ankle joint to prevent posttraumatic arthritis, these fractures often need surgical treatment. Both cast immobilisation and functional treatment have proved to be reliable postoperative treatment regimes. Insight into the quality of life and the level of pain is necessary to determine if these treatments can be related to higher patient satisfaction and earlier resumption of daily activities and work. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine two postoperative treatments for surgically corrected ankle fractures. Postoperative, direct functional mobilisation is compared to short term plaster cast fixation. The focus of this study is on quality of life, pain and the use of pain medication, and resumption of work and daily activities. Main study parameters/endpoints: Quality of life, Function, pain, swelling, daily activities and work, disabilities (pain disability index), complications
A prospective observational cohort study to assess the predictive value of preoperative frailty on postoperative quality of life in peripheral vascular surgery patients.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of idebenone in delaying the loss of respiratory function in patients with DMD receiving concomitant glucocorticoid steroids
This post-authorization observational safety study (PASS) monitors clinically important identified and potential risks within a cohort of patients treated with naloxegol, including the occurrence of bowel perforation, acute myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, cardiovascular (CV)-specific mortality, all-cause mortality, hypertension, opioid withdrawal, abdominal pain, diarrhea, syncope, and change in pain severity. This study is part of a broader post-marketing commitment to augment routine evaluation of the safety profile of naloxegol in clinical practice.
The purpose of the ARTEMIS trial is to investigate if real-time feedback to caregivers reduces the time between patient's first medical contact and start of intravenous thrombolysis and/or intraarterial thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
This is a prospective, multicentric, randomized, open label Phase II trial investigating whether the oral angiogenesis inhibitor nintedanib, as compared to the intravenous cytotoxic compound ifosfamide, given for patients with advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic STS after failure of first line chemotherapy prolongs progression-free survival. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate whether nintedanib given as second-line therapy for advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic STS prolongs progression-free survival when compared with ifosfamide. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of nintedanib as compared to ifosfamide in terms of progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks, overall survival, objective response rate, patient benefit rate, response duration, total duration of treatment with nintedanib safety, Health related Quality of Life and Health Economics. Exploratory objectives include an analysis of putative predictive biomarkers for the anti-tumor effects of the investigational agent nintedanib.treatment.
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease may precede symptoms of Alzheimer's Dementia by over 20 years. The Investigators hope to be able to identify Alzheimer's disease at its very earliest stages when in theory treatments are most likely to be successful in preventing further spread of the disease in the brain and causing dementia. The aim of EPAD programme is to develop new treatments more quickly to prevent Alzheimer's dementia. A major component of the EPAD programme is the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study which can provide subjects for the EPAD trial as well as data to improve understanding of disease before dementia develops. The Investigators will approach a broad range of people over the age of 50 who have previously taken part in various research studies and consented to being recontacted for further research. Participants will be asked questions to assess their memory and other cognitive function. The participants will also undertake a brain scan, provide a sample of spinal fluid, blood, urine and saliva to look at markers in these bodily fluids that may change in Alzheimer's disease. The Investigators will then follow these participants until December 2019 repeating these tests annually. This will be called the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study (EPAD LCS). The main reasons for EPAD developing a cohort are to help the Investigators understand more about what happens to people before dementia develops, and to help recruit people more quickly into the EPAD trials of new medications or other interventions expected to prevent dementia. People in the EPAD LCS may be invited to take part in the EPAD Proof of Concept prevention studies to see if interventions can modify the probability of developing dementia or cognitive problems (this will be subject to separate ethics approval and consent). Together EPAD LCS and EPAD PoC make up the full EPAD Programme.
