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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending oral doses of PF-07081532 in healthy adult participants.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ArtiFascia® in comparison with commercially available dural substitutes in patients requiring Dural repair following neurosurgery. Patients with planned cranial neurosurgery can take part in this study. During the surgery the soft membrane that covers the brain (called dura) is likely to be cut and damaged. A damaged dura can cause a leakage of brain fluids (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] leakage) and increase the risk of infections. Sponsor of this study has developed the ArtiFascia®. ArtiFascia® is a medical synthetic dural substitute that is absorbed by the body. ArtiFascia® supports the re-formation of a new dura. In addition it has a sealant layer that can reduce CSF leakage and infection.
This is an open-label, multicentre study to characterize the safety and efficacy of the human anti-CD38 antibody MOR202 in adult subjects with in Anti-PLA2R Antibody Positive Membranous Nephropathy (newly diagnosed/relapsed/refractory)
The aim of this study is to characterise the use of clinical nutrition support, especially of parenteral nutrition that is administered directly into a vein, in adult patients with critical illness. The study wants to assess nutritional balance (that means the ratio of calories and protein prescribed to calories and protein actually received). Furthermore, it wants to evaluate whether the nutrition received has influence on the patients' clinical outcome, with focus on measures of physical function, such as capability of conducting daily living activities. As the study is "observational", no specific medications or treatments will be provided as part of the study to the patients. Study patients will be observed during their stay on an intensive care unit, for a maximum duration of 15 days. Furthermore, questions on the well-being of the patients will be asked via telephone interviews 30 and 90 days after their admission to the intensive care unit. Data of approximately 1250 patients will be collected and evaluated in this study, from approximately 100 hospitals in 11 European countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom).
This study will be a cross-sectional observational study, followed by a pilot intervention. The aim of the study is to examine the underlying causes of walking-related performance fatigability, together with other related and influencing factors, to make up a clinical profile of patients with MS showing walking-related performance fatigability. In the second part of the study a pilot intervention will be executed to see if the investigators can improve the clinical status of the MS patients with walking-related performance fatigability.
Pilot study of the OptiMEDs intervention: a complex intervention for multidisciplinary medication review (including nurses, pharmacists, and physicians) in nursing homes (NH), with ICT-support for the evaluation of the appropriateness of prescribing and for side-effect monitoring.
During 10 weeks the subjects will use a mobile application (Walk with Me). The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of the mobile application, as well as investigating if the mobile application effects walking.
Objectives: The aim of this randomized control trial was to compare immediate restoration procedure with a one abutment one-time technique using a conventional versus full digital workflow. Surgical accuracy, provisional fit and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) of.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity around the world. Studies revealed that patients with COPD are less active than age-matched healthy controls and activity level decreases with disease severity. Higher levels of physical activity is related to important health-related outcomes, such as lower mortality rate and hospital admissions. Additionally, increasing physical activity is related with substantial health benefits. Patients with COPD have a higher risk of developing insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, osteopenia, leading to chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis, which have been related to physical inactivity in the healthy population. Moreover, physical inactivity has been related to the occurrence of comorbidities in patients with COPD. Therefore, improving physical activity levels is a recommended treatment in the disease management in all patients with COPD and is implemented in the recent GOLD guidelines for all patients with COPD, regardless of the disease severity. The research group investigated the effect of a 3-month semi-automatic tele-coaching intervention on physical activity levels in patients with COPD. The tele coaching intervention led to a significant improvement on physical activity in the intervention group. Although this trial showed positive results on physical activity, further research is needed, mainly to investigate the long-term (12 months) effectiveness of such interventions and the added value of a smartphone application on top of a simple step counter providing feedback. Additionally, since physical activity is related to the development of comorbidities, the investigators aim to explore the influence of improving physical activity levels on the occurrence of cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal comorbidities. Finally, this study will explore baseline characteristics (such as social support, self-efficacy, dynamic hyperinflation, etc.) that can predict success in this intervention.
The level of physical activity (PA) has been shown to be an important predictor for morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD and more recently Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Physical inactivity is a common feature of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Whereas pulmonary rehabilitation is known to result in benefits in exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life, these gains will not automatically translate into increases in physical activity. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effect of a physical activity coaching program on the physical activity level of patients with interstitial lung disease.
