Continuing Somatostatin Analogues Upon Progression in Neuroendocrine Tumour pAtients
The SAUNA trial is a multi-national, multi-centre, open-label, randomised, controlled, pragmatic clinical trial in patients with advanced, non-functional gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NET) with progressive disease on first-line therapy with somatostatine analogues (SSA). Eligible patients will be divided into two substudies according to the second-line therapy of choice (peptide receptor …
Pharmacokinetic Boosting of Olaparib to Improve Exposure, Tolerance and Cost-effectiveness
Olaparib is a poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, originally used for the maintenance treatment of women with platinum-sensitive relapsed breast cancer gene (BRCA)-mutated high grade serious epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, who are in response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Over the last two years, several therapeutic indications have …
Device-based Rate Versus Rhythm Control in Symptomatic Recent-onset Atrial Fibrillation (RACE 9 OBSERVE-AF)
Continuous heart rhythm monitoring elucidated the recurrent and transient nature of recent-onset atrial fibrillation (AF). The RACE7 ACWAS showed that a wait-and-see approach (WAS) in patients with recent-onset AF (rate control for symptom relief followed by delayed cardioversion if needed <48h) allows spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm in 69% of …
Lung Nodule Detection Using Ultra-long FOV PET/CT
Indeterminate lung nodules (6-15mm) are frequent findings in patients undergoing chest CT scanning, but adequate follow-up imaging is currently not in place to facilitate early detection, diagnosis and decision making regarding treatment. The introduction of long Field-Of-View PET/CT scanners could make a difference in this matter due to the substantial …
Pregnancy Outcomes: Effects of Metformin Study (POEM Study)
One approach to prevent the rising burden of diabetes is to address the issue of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). GDM has a growing prevalence up to 5-10% (and even higher in specific subgroups), with a pregnant population becoming older and more obese worldwide. GDM increases the risks of complications during …
Doxapram Therapy in Preterm Infants (DOXA Trial)
Preterm infants often suffer from apnea of prematurity (AOP; a cessation of breathing) due to immaturity of the respiratory system. AOP can lead to oxygen shortage and a low heart rate which might harm the development of the newborn, especially the central nervous system. In order to prevent oxygen shortage, …
Prevention of Opioid-induced Constipation in Patients With Advanced Cancer
More than 70% of patients with cancer in the palliative phase have pain that often requires treatment with opioids (morphine-like agents). Constipation occurs in 59% of patients treated with opioids. Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) has consequences that range from daily discomfort with social insecurity and disability to intestinal obstruction. It leads …
Short Course Of Preoperative Radiotherapy in Head and Neck-, Trunk- and Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Currently, soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are preoperatively irradiated in a conventionally fractionated regimen of 25 x 2 Gy in five weeks. Recent radiobiological investigations, however, suggest sensitivity to (modest) hypofractionation. Within this study, patients will be randomized to receive either the conventional schedule of 25 x 2 Gy or a …
Short-course Antibiotics vs Standard Course Antibiotics in Patients With Cholangitis
The goal of this multicentre randomized controlled trial is to investigate if a very short-course of antibiotics (1 day) for cholangitis after adequate drainage is non-inferior with respect to clinical cure in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics (4 to 7 days). Secondary objectives include: Will a one-day course …
Nasal High-Flow in COPD
Rationale: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. COPD exacerbations are the important contributor to disease deterioration and decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Since therapeutic options to treat exacerbations effectively are limited, many patients have persistent loss of vital functioning and …
