Neoplasms Research at Stichting Radboud University Medical Center

The Medical Oncology department in Nijmegen is conducting clinical trials in oncology focused on improving care for patients with advanced cancers, especially ovarian cancer and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. These studies are designed to evaluate whether new treatment combinations can extend survival and delay disease progression.

  • Testing new immunotherapy combinations for platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer
  • Evaluating treatment effectiveness in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
  • Comparing active therapy with control treatment to measure survival and disease control

This research reflects a strong focus on personalized cancer treatment and on finding better options for patients with difficult-to-treat malignancies.

Eye Diseases Clinical Research

At Stichting Radboud University Medical Center, trials in ophthalmology are exploring better ways to support recovery after corneal transplantation, including Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK). The main goal is to improve transplant success while reducing complications and protecting eye health over the long term.

  • Studying immunosuppressive care after corneal transplantation
  • Reducing the risk of intraocular pressure elevation and endothelial cell loss
  • Improving outcomes for patients undergoing DMEK

This area of research aims to make eye transplant care safer and more effective for patients with corneal disease.

Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications Studies

Clinical trials in reproductive health are examining causes and treatments for unexplained recurrent miscarriages. The research is focused on whether a medicine used early in pregnancy can improve the chance of a live birth for women facing repeated pregnancy loss.

  • Investigating treatment options for unexplained recurrent miscarriages
  • Assessing whether early pregnancy support can improve live birth rates
  • Advancing care for women with complex pregnancy complications

These studies aim to generate clearer evidence for managing a challenging condition in maternal and fetal medicine.
