Diaphragm Hibernation and Its Driving Factors in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients

Rationale: Patients with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) frequently develop diaphragm dysfunction and experience difficult weaning. Recent ex vivo work suggests that a subset of mechanically ventilated ICU patients may exhibit diaphragm hibernation, an energy conserving myosin state that reduces force generation and may lead to a reversible increase in diaphragm strength over time. However, it is unknown whether diaphragm hibernation can be demonstrated in vivo during IMV and which clinical and biological factors are associated with this phenotype. Objective: Primary objective is to determine the driving factors (biomarkers) of diaphragm hibernation during IMV. Secondary objectives are to determine the proportion of ventilated critically ill patients who exhibit diaphragm hibernation during IMV, to investigate inflammatory and metabolic factors and other clinical exposures associated with diaphragm hibernation, and to explore associations between diaphragm hibernation and weaning related and survival outcomes. Study design: Prospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study. Study population: Adult ICU patients receiving IMV, expected to remain mechanically ventilated for at least 72 hours. Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable. This is an observational study. Study specific procedures consist of repeated phrenic nerve magnetic stimulation and additional blood sampling. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary study parameter is the proportion of participants exhibiting diaphragm hibernation during IMV. Diaphragm hibernation is defined as an increase in stimulated twitch tracheal pressure (Ptr,stim), a measure of diaphragm strength, of at least 10% relative to baseline (Day 0-1) at any follow up assessment (Day 2, 3, 5, or 7) obtained before extubation or death. Ptr,stim will be assessed repeatedly on Day 0-1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5, and Day 7, or until extubation or death, whichever occurs first. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participant burden is limited and mainly consists of repeated phrenic nerve magnetic stimulation during a ventilator delivered end expiratory occlusion and additional blood sampling of 9.5 mL per time point, up to a total of 47.5 mL across the study period. Magnetic stimulation is non-invasive and expected discomfort is transient. Rare transient physiological changes may occur and measurements are performed under continuous ICU monitoring and will be postponed or omitted if considered unsafe or interfering with clinical care. Direct benefit for participants is limited, but the study may provide clinically relevant knowledge on diaphragm hibernation and its driving factors. The research questions are specific to diaphragm physiology during IMV in critically ill patients, therefore the study is group related and cannot be performed in a different population.

Modafinil for Debilitating Fatigue in Quiescent Inflammatory Bowel Disease MODIFI-IBD Trial)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if modafinil can treat severe fatigue in adults aged 18 to 75 years with quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does modafinil reduce fatigue more effectively than placebo, as measured by the mean difference in section I of the IBD-F questionnaire at week 8? Is modafinil safe and well tolerated in patients with quiescent IBD and severe fatigue? Researchers will compare modafinil to placebo to see if modafinil improves fatigue outcomes. Participants will: attend one screening visit including assessment of disease activity, blood tests, stool testing, and an ECG; take modafinil or placebo for 8 weeks, starting at 100 mg daily with possible dose increases based on response and tolerability; complete online questionnaires at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12 about fatigue, quality of life, sleep, mood, and work productivity; be contacted regularly during the treatment period to discuss effect and side effects of the study medication; complete an online effort-based decision-making task at baseline and week 8.

Brachytherapy (Interventional Radiotherapy) for Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Nasal Vestibule: Optimization of Dose and Technique

Rationale: Primary brachytherapy (also known as Interventional Radiotherapy, IRT) achieves high cure rates in cancer of the nasal vestibule (CNV) while preserving nasal aesthetics and function. In our recently published nationwide multicenter study, brachytherapy (BT) increased nose preservation probability from 61 to 82 % compared to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Although late toxicity was more common following BT, it was predominantly CTCAE grade 1-2 and deemed acceptable given the substantial benefit in local control and nose preservation. However, a notable finding of our study was the substantial variation in BT practice, including implantation techniques, dose prescriptions, and treatment planning. Although this analysis covers one of the largest series of CNV patients to date, patient numbers were insufficient to reliably compare the efficacy of the different application/implantation techniques and doses. The retrospective design of the study proved inappropriate for a detailed analysis of the dose-volume data, which is necessary to correlate implantation and dose data to outcome. As the integral brachytherapy dose, as well as the dose inhomogeneity in tissue may vary widely depending on how the dose is prescribed, simple prescription doses are insufficient to characterize a brachytherapy plan comprehensively. Given the excellent disease control achieved with BT, optimizing aesthetic and functional outcomes while minimizing toxicity becomes increasingly important. Therefore, to optimize BT treatment for CNV and facilitate its wider adoption, detailed prospective data collection on treatment parameters, dose plans, toxicity (both physician-reported and patient-reported), oncological outcomes, and functional results is necessary. This study is designed as a non-comparative, descriptive prospective registry aimed at systematically documenting current international practice in brachytherapy for cancer of the nasal vestibule. Objective: To prospectively describe BT treatment techniques, parameters, oncological outcomes, acute and late toxicity and patient satisfaction; and to correlate these outcomes with treatment parameters. Specifically, to establish dose-response relationships for oncological control, toxicity, and functional outcomes. Study design: Prospective observational multicentre registration study. Study population: Adults with a squamous cell squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule, considered suitable for primary brachytherapy. Main study parameters/endpoints: To describe treatment techniques, dose prescriptions and brachytherapy dose plans in terms of dose-volume parameters. Oncological outcomes include details on recurrence and cancer-specific survival. Toxicity, patient satisfaction, and QoL will be assessed with validated patient questionnaires as through applicable CTCAE (physician based).

Promoting Response to IMmunotherapy by Exercise in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a supervised high intensity interval training (HIIT) program during first-line dual immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy (nivolumab plus ipilimumab) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The second aim is to generate preliminary data on the effects of exercise on the immune cell phenotype and function, gut microbiota composition, physical fitness, patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes. This is a two-arm randomized controlled pilot trial in which 30 patients with advanced RCC scheduled to receive first-line nivolumab plus ipilimumab will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to an exercise intervention group or usual care group. The exercise intervention consists of two 60-minute supervised HIIT sessions per week, delivered by oncology-trained physiotherapists and one additional home-based moderate-intensity aerobic exercise sessions per week. The intervention starts with the first cycle of immunotherapy and continues for four treatment cycles. Participants in both groups will receive usual care and general exercise guidelines. Measurements include blood and stool sampling for microbiome and immune parameters analysis, physical fitness assessments, physical fitness monitoring, body composition measurements, and patient-reported outcomes related to quality of life, fatigue, depression, sleep and diet.

Affordable, Tailored Physical Therapy for Financially Vulnerable People With Trauma-related Injuries (AFTER-TRAUMA)

SUMMARY Rationale: In the Netherlands, trauma-related injuries affect more than 700,000 people annually, and many require rehabilitation. Regardless of trauma-related injuries, over 500,000 individuals live in financial vulnerability, often characterized as having low socioeconomic status (SES). Patients with low SES have an increased risk of sustaining trauma and generally experience poorer recovery outcomes. Access to physical therapy care is limited for this population, despite the substantial impact of trauma on quality of life and daily functioning. Little is known about their long-term rehabilitation outcomes. This study aims to improve understanding of recovery patterns in patients with trauma-related injuries and explores whether outcomes differ between SES-groups. Objective: The primary objective is to assess quality of life 1 week prior to the injury, and at 1 week, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after trauma-related injury. Secondary objectives include evaluating social, physical and mental functioning, fatigue, pain, and return-to-work. Outcomes will be compared across socioeconomic groups to explore how financial vulnerability is associated with recovery. Study design: Prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Study population: In total 185 patients (≥18 years) with trauma-related injuries (ISS ≥9) admitted to the Radboud University Medical Center will be included between April 2026 and October 2027. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome is quality of life, measured using validated PROMIS® Global02 at all follow-up timepoints. Secondary outcomes include perceived health, social, physical, and mental functioning, fatigue, and pain, assessed using validated PROMIS® questionnaires at the same follow up moments. SES indicators (postal code, education level, type of employment), health insurance coverage, and work status will also be collected. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit, and group relatedness: Participation involves minimal burden and no medical risks. Patients are asked to complete digital of paper questionnaires at predefined intervals with a burden of approximately 10 minutes per follow-up interval. No additional procedures or treatments are required. The participant will receive a compensation of €5 for each completed questionnaire. The study is expected to generate valuable insights that can improve quality, accessibility, and tailoring of physical therapy care for future trauma patients, particularly those in a financially vulnerable situation.

Slow-SPEED: Slowing Parkinson's Early Through Exercise Dosage

The goal of this clinical trial is two-fold. First to investigate the feasibility of whether a remotely administered smartphone app can increase the volume and intensity of physical activity in daily life in individuals with a LRRK2 G2019S or GBA1 N370S genetic mutation over a long period of time (24 months). Second, to explore the preliminary efficacy of exercise on markers for prodromal Parkinson's disease progression in individuals with a LRRK2 G2019S or GBA1 N370S genetic mutation. 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. A joint primary objective consists of two components. First to determine the longitudinal effect of an exercise intervention in LRRK2 G2019S or GBA1 N370S variant carriers on a prodromal load score, comprised of digital biomarkers of prodromal symptoms. The secondary component of the primary outcome is to determine the feasibility of a remote intervention study. The secondary objective is the effect of a physical activity intervention on digital markers of physical fitness. Exploratory outcomes entail retention rate, completeness of remote digital biomarker assessments, digital prodromal motor and non-motor features of PD. Using these biomarkers, the investigators 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 Kingdom are currently in preparation (Slow-SPEED-UK) and active in the Netherlands (Slow-SPEED-NL). 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

An European Multi-centre Cohort Study for Unravelling Pharmacokinetic and Genetic Factors Underlying Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) comes with a risk for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), which accounts for considerable morbidity, high healthcare expenditure, and death. The pathophysiology of PEP and the underpinnings of the preventive effect of rectal NSAID (RN) is poorly understood. Guidelines advise to take preventive measures with a single dose of 100mg RN, peri-ERCP. While NSAID administration reduces the risk with 40%, PEP still occurs after ERCP. In addition, patients with a PEP history have a higher risk to develop recurrence after a subsequent ERCP. This might suggest that an underlying genetic risk may contribute to increasing the incidence of PEP in some patients.

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Using the VARIPULSE™ Catheter

Rationale: Effectiveness of thermal ablation techniques for pulmonary vein isolation, to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), are hampered by frequent pulmonary vein reconnection and risks of collateral tissue injury. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) offers a non-thermal, tissue-specific alternative that may provide more durable isolation while also reducing procedural risks. While early data for the CE-marked VARIPULSE™ PFA system are promising, long-term lesion durability remains mostly unquantified. To obtain a definitive estimate of PFA effectiveness, a systematic invasive re-mapping approach is required. Advanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can quantify atrial fibrosis after PVI across different ablation modalities, but it is unknown how well these imaging findings correspond with invasive electrical mapping. In the current study, CMR serves as a complementary modality to explore whether imaging-based tissue changes align with invasively confirmed long-term isolation. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term durability of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using the VARIPULSE™ Pro PFA system, as defined by the rate of electrical reconnection during systematic invasive re-mapping at three months. Study design: Prospective multicenter intervention study. Study population: Patients ≥ 18 years old, eligible for primary PVI according to ESC guidelines, without contraindications for gadolinium-based contrast-enhanced CMR imaging. Intervention: Patients will undergo PVI using PFA with the VARIPULSE™ catheter. After 3-4 months, a re-map procedure will be performed to assess lesion durability and to re-isolate any electrical reconnections. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcome measure: Patient-level PV lesion durability. Secondary outcome measures: Percentage chronic isolation for each PV; Location of reconnection during re-map and lesion characteristics; Presence, location, size, volume and composition of acute (within 72 hours) and chronic (3 months) ablation lesions and collateral tissue damage on CMR (in the atrial wall and surrounding structure); Procedural fluoroscopy time and radiation dose; Percentage direct isolation for each pulmonary vein (PV); Acute PV reconnection for each PV; Percentage freedom from atrial achyarrhythmias at 12 months follow-up; Incidence of procedure related adverse events. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Participation involves standard PVI care with additional CMR imaging and an invasive re-map procedure. Early studies show that PFA with the VARIPULSE™ catheter is safe, and the extra imaging adds only minimal burden or risk. The re-map study carries the same risks as standard ablation. Overall, the study is expected to provide valuable insights that may further improve patient care and outcomes in atrial fibrillation.

Deposition of Inhaled Liposomal Amphotericin B in Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CPA)

This study evaluates and aims to optimize inhalation treatment with nebulized liposomal amphotericin B in patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The primary objective is to assess the pulmonary deposition and intrapulmonary distribution of liposomal amphotericin B after nebulization, using technetium-99m-labeled liposomal amphotericin B and SPECT/CT imaging. The study also aims to generate data to inform optimization of inhalation treatment design. Participants will receive two different doses of nebulized liposomal amphotericin B (12 mg and 24 mg) on separate study days. After each administration, participants will undergo SPECT/CT imaging to assess pulmonary deposition. Blood samples will be collected on both study days and after study treatment to evaluate safety and measure systemic amphotericin B concentrations. Participants will also perform spirometry using a handheld device and complete a treatment satisfaction questionnaire on both study days.

TGW211 for Click-Cleavable Imaging in HER2-Positive Cancers.

In recent years, there is increasing interest in antibodies for imaging, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) and targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT). With these techniques, antibodies are used as a vector to deliver a cytotoxic drug or radionuclide for therapy or nuclear medicine imaging. One such antibody-based vector suitable for delivering a cytotoxic drug or radionuclide is trastuzumab, which targets HER2 that is overexpressed in cancers such as breast, gastric and gastroesophageal junction carcinomas. Unfortunately, antibodies generally have a very long circulation time (\>20-30 days) that often result in unfavorable background noise in the healthy organs in imaging or toxicity when trastuzumab is bound to a therapeutic radionuclide for radioimmunotherapy. There is thus a need to increase the speed of excretion of antibodies or release the antibody from its payload. Ideally, the clinician would like to appropriately time the elimination of radioactivity to achieve an optimal tumor to non-tumor ratio. To this aim, Tagworks Pharmaceuticals developed a new class of chemically cleavable radiolabeled conjugates that release the radiolabel on demand upon reaction with a small molecule "the trigger" (TRG001).

A Study on How the Immune System Responds to Sepsis and Its Long-term Effects

Sepsis occurs when an infection, caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus, enters the body and throws the immune system out of balance. Instead of protecting the body, the immune response may become too strong and start damaging healthy organs, or it may become too weak and fail to control the infection. Both situations can be life-threatening. Even people who survive sepsis may experience long-term health problems, such as new infections, heart and blood vessel diseases, or early death. This study aims to better understand how the immune system behaves during and after sepsis. We believe that there are different types of immune responses in sepsis, called immunotypes. We will identify these immunotypes by examining substances in the blood and changes in immune cells. We will then study which immunotypes help protect patients and which may cause short- or long-term harm. Understanding these immunotypes may make it possible in the future to quickly determine what type of immune response a patient with sepsis has. This could help doctors choose the best treatment for each individual patient. A total of 400 patients with sepsis from the intensive care unit will take part in this study. We will collect blood samples at several time points and gather information about their health. Participants will be followed from their intensive care admission until one year after they return home.

Plant-based Versus Animal-based Oral Nutritional Supplements

Background information: Many people who are admitted to the hospital are at risk of malnutrition. In some patient groups, this can be as high as 40%. When someone is not eating enough, the dietitian often recommends oral nutritional supplements (ONS). These are energy- and protein-rich drinks that help patients get enough nutrition. They can reduce complications, lower the chance of being readmitted to the hospital, and help improve body weight and physical functioning. In the Netherlands, the Ministry of Health and the Dutch Federation of University Medical Centers have signed the Green Deal "Working together on sustainable care." One of the goals is to make healthcare greener and climate-neutral by 2026. This also applies to medical and non-medical nutrition, including ONS. Because of this, there is increasing attention on developing ONS that contain more plant-based proteins, which may be more sustainable. What do will the investigators find out? It is unknown how plant-based ONS work when patients use them for a longer period of time. For example: * Do they help patients get enough energy and protein? * What are the effects on physical and clinical outcomes? Before a large study with many patients is started, it is important to first test whether this type of research is feasible. Feasibility in terms of * Recruitment rate * Drop-out rate * Adherence to the ONS advice * Study measurements (succesfull vs unsuccesfull measurements) To answer these questions, a smaller pilot study will be conducted in which plant-based ONS will be compared to animal-based ONS. What does this study look like? Inclusion criteria: Patients from the departments of medical oncology, lung diseases, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and orthopedics at Maastricht UMC+ and Radboudumc. These are patients who are currently not eating enough. These patients receive advice from the dietitian to take at least two bottles of ONS per day. If they want to participate in the study, they will be randomly assigned to one of two products: * Animal-based (milk protein): Fresubin YoDrink Raspberry© * Plant-based (soy protein): Fresubin Plant-Based Drink Vanilla© Measurements will be performed at the start of the study and again after three months. In the meantime, the researcher will contact the patient twice by phone to ask how things are going.

Protein Supplementation and Resistance Training to Prevent Fat-Free Mass Loss Following Metabolic-Bariatric Surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of daily protein supplementation and participation in a weekly supervised resistance training program on the prevention of excessive muscle mass loss following bariatric surgery. Patients treated at one of the participating centers will be invited to participate and will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants in group 1 will receive standard postoperative care as currently provided. Participants in group 2 will also receive standard care, but in addition, they will be asked to consume extra protein daily and take part in a supervised resistance training session once a week. Previous research has shown that approximately one in five patients undergoing bariatric surgery experiences excessive muscle loss after the surgery. It is known that resistance training and protein intake can help maintain and even improve muscle mass. However, limited research has been conducted on the combined effects of protein supplementation and resistance training in patients after bariatric surgery. Therefore, the aim of this trial is to determine whether participants receiving the additional intervention experience less muscle mass loss compared to those receiving standard care alone.

Individualised Endometrial Cancer Risk Stratification by Bayesian Prediction Model (ENDORISK), Optimizing Clinical Implementation

Rationale: Preoperative identification of patients at risk for lymph node metastasis (LNM) is challenging in endometrial cancer (EC). Therefore, a Bayesian network model called ENDORISK was developed and validated in three external cohorts to improve preoperative risk stratification. The next step is to implement and evaluate whether use of the model improves daily clinical practice. Objective: The ENDORISK implementation (ENDORISK-I) study aims to prospectively evaluate whether implementation of ENDORISK in daily clinical practice improves preoperative risk stratification. Study design: A stepped wedge non inferiority study in which two oncology regions will consecutively start implementation of ENDORISK with one year interval. The ENDORISK model will be filled in and used in preoperative treatment counselling. Results will be compared to current standard clinical care which is prospectively evaluated in both regions since March 2022 in the 'evaluation of care in endometrial cancer' study (2021-7400). Study population: all consecutive patients recently diagnosed with early stage EC who are eligible for surgical treatment, who understand Dutch and are able to fill in a digital or paper questionnaire can be included. Main study parameters/endpoints: The ENDORISK implementation (ENDORISK-I) study aims to prospectively evaluate implementation of ENDORISK in daily clinical practice by investigating: * The proportion of identified LNM in patients with lymph node staging (positive predictive value (PPV)) compared to standard care * Proportion of patients who decide to have lymph node status assessed in ENDORISK care compared to standard care * Preoperative information provision for patients and shared-decision making with the use of ENDORISK compared to standard care * Patients' disease- specific-, overall survival, and health-related quality of life compared to standard care * Patients' and doctors' use of and experiences with the ENDORISK-model * Impact of ENDORISK on regional care costs
