There are about 13446 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Belgium. 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.
This pilot trial is designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of obtaining bone marrow from costal aspiration during surgery. The investigators hypothese that sufficient bone marrow-derived HSPC's (which represent only 0,1% of the total bone marrow fraction) can be derived by rib bone marrow aspiration for ex vivo single-cell evaluation, optimization of a 3D BMN platform and preclinical ex/in vivo assessment in patient-derived organoids and murine xenograft models.
The number of students with psychological problems is on the rise, due to a combination of increasing performance pressure, high expectations, difficulties handling stress, social pressure, and studying. Spending time in a green space has been shown to have positive effects on the mental and general health. This project aims to alleviate the symptoms of mental fatigue and stress related disorders such as burn out in students by offering a nature-based activity. Participants are asked to take a thirty-minute walk in a nature-based area for five consecutive days, followed by a control period (regular schedule of the participant) for five days, or vice versa. The investigators test stress-related parameters including concentration tests, cognitive tests, cortisol levels, and cardiovascular measurements.
Bone marrow samples will be collected from patients undergoing hip arthroplasty surgery. Blood and bone marrow samples will be used for metabolic profiling and analysis of relevant CHIP mutations. Combined single-cell transcriptomics and mutation-specific single-cell genotyping (biotin-PCR using mutation-targeted primers followed by sequencing) will subsequently be performed. The gene expression profile of wildtype and mutant hematopoietic stem cells will be compared, performing both broad gene set enrichment analysis and targeted analysis of metabolic pathways.
The aim of this project is to assess whether a specific smartphone application (Skinvision App®) can be used as a tool to preselect skin lesions suspicious for skin cancer that require urgent medical advice.
The twofold aim of this single-blind two-arm 1:1 randomised control trial is to examine if the treatment effect and cost-effectiveness of a smartphone application, designed to increase therapy compliance and provide tinnitus counselling, as part of a blended physiotherapy program, is, as hypothesised, as good as or better in comparison to standard clinical care.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma to evaluate the benefits of teclistamab in combination with lenalidomide and teclistamab alone versus lenalidomide alone as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-78934804 as compared to guselkumab and golimumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more approved advanced therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-78934804 at Week 48 compared to guselkumab and golimumab.
This study is a single center prospective observational case series. The framework of this clinical investigation is post market clinical follow up of pediatric FLACS using the Femto LDV Z8. The intention is to investigate and supervise aspects particular to the pediatric use, and there is hence no alternative patient population. Primary outcome Related adverse events at the time of surgery, ophthalmic adverse events at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months. Secondary outcome Achieved vs aimed capsulotomy diameter - Aimed diameter to be calculated using the Bochum formula - Achieved diameter will be assessed using a ring caliper (Morcher 4.8 external diameter), (US patent MJ Tassignon) During the recruitment period, the legal representatives of all patients (and when applicable the patients) at the study site who are eligible for pediatric cataract surgery and fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be informed about the study and offered participation. The aim is to include 12 participants during the recruitment period of 6 months. Inclusion criteria are on purpose chosen very broad, in order to collect data from all types of pediatric cataract surgeries.The majority of the participants will be very young children, who cannot be involved in the informed consent procedure. Participants will nevertheless receive the patient information in a way adapted to their age and mental maturity, from investigators or members of the investigating team who are experienced in working with children. The study procedure is cataract surgery performed with the FEMTO LDV Z8 femtosecond laser. In this clinical investigation the CE marked products (the Femto LDV™ femtosecond laser and the FEMTO LDV™ Surgical Laser Procedure Packs for Cataract Surgery) are used without deviations from the intended use and indication for use. Intraoperatively the achieved capsulotomy diameter will assessed using a ring caliper (Morcher 4.8 external diameter) and compared with the aimed diameter calculated using the Bochum formula. Patients will return for follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months after the surgery.
Longitudinal, observational, non-interventional, standard of care Registry. Data will be collected from the routinely scheduled WD clinic visits at approximately 6-12 month intervals. At enrolment, in addition to data from the clinic visit, retrospective data will be collected from the diagnostic evaluation and any relevant past medical history and a summary of WD medication history.
