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 purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a trial on induced hypertension to improve neurological outcome in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage that developed the serious complication "delayed cerebral ischemia", and to assess whether induced hypertension results in improved cerebral blood flow (CBF) as measured by means of perfusion-CT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of voriconazole (an antifungal drug) when used in children who have invasive aspergillosis (IA) and other rare systemic fungal infections.
The purpose of this study is to determine if apixaban is superior to placebo for preventing cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke in subjects with a recent acute coronary syndrome
This is a comparative, controlled trial to evaluate the impact of treating undetected, asymptomatic, predefined minor uterine cavity abnormalities on the success of IVF treatment.
Phase 1 Evaluate the safety and tolerability of RAD001 in combination with sorafenib in patients with advance hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) Phase 2 To estimate the treatment effect as a measure of anti-tumor activity in terms of Time to Progression (TTP) of the combination of RAD001 plus sorafenib, at the MTD, as compared to sorafenib alone
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of the combination between cetuximab and radiotherapy to the standard chemotherapy for resectable oesophageal cancer is safe and adds efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety and tolerability and efficacy of neramexane mesylate in the long-term treatment of subjective tinnitus after a completed double-blind randomized placebo controlled study
Background of the study: Milder stimulation protocols have the advantage of being less expensive and more patient-friendly. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that mild stimulation protocols lead to lower embryo aneuploidy rates compared to conventional treatment regimens. Although with mild stimulation protocols the expected number of oocytes retrieved will be lower, pregnancy rates have shown to be similar possibly because embryo quality outfavours embryo quantity. Objective of the study: The aim of the study is to determine whether cycle day (CD) 5 start of stimulation will lead to better quality of embryos, based on morphology, than CD 2 start, in IVF with GnRH antagonist co-treatment started on a fixed day. Study design: Prospective randomized trial comparing two different starting days of ovarium stimulation (day 2 versus day 5) for IVF treatment. Intervention: One group wil start on cycle day 2 with stimulation of the ovaries with recombinant FSH. The other group will start on cycle day 5. Both group will start suppressing the gonadotrophin production of the the pituitary gland on cycle day 6 with a GnRH antagonist. Primary study parameters/outcome of the study: Primary outcome parameter is number of top embryos per ovum pick up. Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study: Secondary outcome measures are duration of stimulation, cancellation rate, fertilization rate, number of cumulus oocyte complexes obtained, number of mature oocytes obtained, number of top embryos per started cycle, amount of IU recFSH, and clinical pregnancy rate.
Hip fractures mostly occur in elderly people with low bone strength. Bone strength is determined by bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover, microarchitectural and geometrical properties of the bone. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the standard technique to measure BMD. However, BMD just provides information regarding the quantity of mineral in bone, which is only one component of bone strength. To date there is no reliable method to assess bone strength in vivo. Therefore, a method to assess bone strength beyond BMD would provide additional information regarding the patients' risk of bone related fixation failure after fracture fixation. DensiProbe is a new diagnostic device that was developed for intra-operative assessment of mechanical stability of the bone in the proximal femur. It consists of a drill bit like tool and an electronic system to measure the peak torque to break-away of trabecular bone in the femoral head of patients undergoing DHS surgical treatment. In a cadaver study comparing bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography with bone strength measured by DensiProbe a high correlation between these two parameters could be shown. In a clinical pilot study a significant correlation between DensiProbe measurements and BMD measured by DXA at the femoral neck in patients with hip fractures could be shown. However, no perfect correlation was expected because DensiProbe measures bone strength, which is only partly caused by BMD. Bone related fixation failure, such as secondary loss of reduction, is influenced by bone strength, bone mineral density, fracture type, fracture reduction and primary positioning of the implant. The predictive value of DensiProbe measurements for secondary loss of reduction needs to be investigated. If DensiProbe turned out to be an effective screening tool for patients with low bone strength that are on higher risk of the aforementioned complications these patients may in future benefit from alternative treatment methods (e.g. augmentation techniques) in order to reduce bone related fixation failure. The primary aim of the present study is to investigate if bone strength measured by DensiProbeTM Hip (DensiProbe) is an independent factor to predict secondary loss of reduction (screw migration of 5 mm or more and / or telescoping of 10 mm or more) in patients with hip fractures after fracture fixation with DHS.
This study is designed to assess, relative to placebo, the effects on the evolution of exercise capacity and symptomatic status of the addition of iron treatment with FCM (ferric carboxymaltose) to the basic regimen of ambulatory patients with stable symptomatic chronic CHF (congestive heart failure) and iron deficiency.
