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 Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft has been preloaded on the new Captivia Delivery System (Captivia). This new delivery system was CE marked on September 14th, 2009 and was commercially released in the European Union on October 1st, 2009. The Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft with the Captivia Delivery System (Valiant Captivia) is designed to treat diseases of the descending thoracic aorta including but not limited to aneurysms and dissections. The purpose of the VALIANT CAPTIVIA Registry is to collect and evaluate mid term clinical performance data of the Valiant Captivia Thoracic Stent Graft System following OUS market approval.
Background Patients with cancer and a first deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism (venous thromboembolism, VTE) are generally treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)injections for 6 months, since this treatment is associated with a reduced incidence of recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA). It is recommended that patients with active malignancy (metastatic cancer and/or ongoing cancer treatment)continue anticoagulant treatment. However, it is unknown whether LMWH is still superior compared to VKA for the long-term anticoagulant treatment. Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate whether low-molecular-weight heparin more effectively reduces recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists in patients with cancer who have already completed 6 to 12 months of anticoagulant treatment because of deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism. Hypothesis The investigators hypothesize that LMWH is more effective compared to VKA in the long-term treatment of VTE in cancer patients who have already been treated for 6-12 months with anticoagulants. Design This is a multicenter, multinational, randomized, open label trial. Patients Patients with a malignancy (all types, solid and hematological) who have received 6-12 months of anticoagulation for VTE and have an indication for continuing anticoagulation, will be randomly assigned to six additional months of LMWH or VKA. LMWH will be administered in a weight-adjusted scheme, with 65-75% of therapeutic doses. All types of LMWH and VKA are allowed, as long as weight adjusted dosing is possible for LMWH. The target INR will be 2.0-3.0. The primary efficacy outcome is symptomatic recurrent VTE, i.e. deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding. Sample size A total of 65 to 87 recurrent VTE events are needed to show a 50% reduction with LMWH as compared to VKA (type I error 0.05, two-sided, power respectively 80 and 90%). To observe 75 events, with a 10% event rate per half year in the VKA arm and 5% in the LMWH arm a total of 1000 patients will need to be included. Organisation Outcomes will be adjudicated by a central adjudication committee. A steering committee will be formed, preferably consisting of one member of every participating center. An electronic case report form will be used for data collection. Also, an electronic trial master file will be used.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of G-CSF on disease free survival and overall survival in aplastic anaemia patients who also receive ATG and Cyclosporin A.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of CP-690,550 in patients being treated for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This is an open label extension study available to patients who participated in one of the qualifying studies with CP-690,550 providing entry criteria is met.
Primary Objective: - Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing major cardiovascular events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death) or unplanned cardiovascular hospitalization or death from any cause in patients with permanent Atrial Fibrillation [AF] and additional risk factors Secondary Objective: - Demonstrate the efficacy of Dronedarone in preventing cardiovascular death This was an event-driven study where a common study end date [CSED] was to be determined by Steering Committee based on the number of events (stroke, systemic arterial embolism, myocardial infarction or cardiovascular death).
The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of brodalumab for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Participants will randomly assigned to receive either brodalumab or placebo (a lookalike liquid that doesn't have any drug in it) and neither the doctor nor the patient will know what treatment is being given.
Rationale: Keratoconus is a progressive, non-inflammatory corneal disease in which irregular refractive properties of the cornea result in loss of visual acuity. Treatment is aimed at improving vision, principally using (rigid) contact lenses. With progression of the disease non-correctable refractive abnormalities and/or corneal scars arise. For these advanced stages of keratoconus, a corneal transplant is the only treatment modality. New surgical grafting modalities have been developed to create partial thickness grafts, according to the location of corneal pathology. For keratoconus, transplanting only the anterior corneal lamellae lowers long-term graft rejection rates. We utilize a method to enhance the safety of the grafting procedure while better visual outcomes are expected. Objective: To investigate the additional value of partial endothelial trepanation (PET) in an anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALKP) procedure in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with keratoconus. Study design: A randomized controlled interventional trial Study population: Patients over 18 years old with keratoconus in whom contact lens correction is unsuccessful and who are not suitable for corneal crosslinking. Intervention: Patients will be randomly assigned to corneal grafting techniques; partial endothelial trepanation in addition to an anterior lamellar keratoplasty (i.e. the PET group) or a regular ALKP procedure. Study outcomes: Risk of per-operative perforation. Secondary, factors contributing to treatment safety and efficacy. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There is no extra burden or risk associated with participation in this study. All measurements are part of normal clinical practice. Adequate experience is available with both surgical techniques. Study participation has no effect on donor selection. If partial endothelial trepanation (PET) is associated with lower complication rates and better visual outcomes, this might be beneficial in terms of morbidity.
This pilot study has a sequential design involving three groups to ensure appropriate development and evaluation of the optimal procedural steps of the D-UAO device and to confirm that those steps are reproducible in the hands of multiple surgeons.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of short-term A-002 treatment on morbidity and mortality when added to atorvastatin and standard of care in subjects with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The main purpose of the study is to help to understand the effect on children and adolescents who are stable on treatment with atomoxetine or osmotic-release oral system (OROS) methylphenidate for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) of not taking the medication for a maximum of 6 days over a 28-day study treatment period.
