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 main objective of the study is to evaluate dose-exposure and safety of nintedanib in children and adolescents with fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD).
"Restrictive" fluid management is usually the current standard practice for patients undergoing liver surgery. The general idea is to maintain a low central venous pressure in order to decrease blood loss and improve the quality of the surgical field. However, this strategy , considered as rather "restrictive", can be associated with patient's harm, mainly acute kidney injury. Today, Goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is a well accepted strategy to optimize fluid administration in patients undergoing major surgery which aimed to maintain normovolemia without being too liberal. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare these two strategies on Urethral Perfusion index measured with a new IKORUS UP probe (Foley catheter made smarter with embedded photoplethysmographic sensing technology).
A phase 1, 2-period, fixed-sequence, multiple-dose, open-label study of the effect of PF-06651600 on Rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. Approximately 12 healthy male and/or female participants will be enrolled in the study.
With the HOBBIT trial, the investigators want to develop a technology that allows volunteers to hold their breath for a long time. This technique will then be taught to patients with breast cancer to be able to hold their breath long-term during the irradiation. After all, research has shown that the heart is in a better position when the patient enters her breath after a deep inhalation, as a result of which there is less unwanted radiation of the heart. To develop this technique the investigators use healthy volunteers, who are asked several times to hold their breath as long as comfortable. Before the respiratory arrest the investigators allow these volunteers to hyperventilate, administer oxygen and cause hyperinflation of the lungs. The volunteers come back four times, on four consecutive days. The first day they receive a short training. Afterwards oxygen is administered for a few minutes while the volunteers are asked to hyperventilate. Afterwards, by using the learned technique, they must hold their breath for as long as possible, comfortably. They should hold their breath 3 times in total with a short break in between. The following days there is always a change in the preparation protocol, compared to the previous study. Different parameters in the protocol will be changed for different groups of volunteers, this is based on randomization. In this way the effect of different parameters in the preparation of the AHS can be investigated. The investigators will use this information to develop a new protocol for extending the duration of breathing to two minutes and thirty seconds for use during radiotherapy treatment. The method for finding the optimal technique is iterative optimization. This method follows a process of development, testing, feedback and redevelopment cycles. Iteratively, these cycles of development use the prior research to further elaborate the most promising discoveries and drop paths that do not produce the desired result. During the development The investigators listen to the input of different people: doctors, nurses, support staff, engineers and the participants, to guarantee the usability of the technique on the radiotherapy device. Once the researchers think they have found a solution that meets all the conditions, a group of untrained volunteers are asked to implement the technique. With this the investigators validate the technique for later use in breast cancer patients.
In this cross-over study 25 patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) were tested for pain relief in 2 conditions: while using the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) application and without using it. Primary outcome: Movement-Evoked Pain (MEP). This was measured using the Back Performance Scale (BPS) and a 5-minute walk test (5MWT). Participants performed 5 functional tasks and were asked to rate their pain before, during, and after each movement on a numeric rating score scale. The same principle will be used for the 5MWT: for each walking-minute, 3 pain measurements will be assessed.
This phase 2b study is designed to have all subjects go into a 12 week induction period to compare different doses of study drug against placebo. After induction is complete all subjects will receive active therapy for 40 weeks, followed by a 12 week follow up period.
Intraoperative hypotension can impact patient outcome. Vasopressors are usually used to correct hypotension and ensure adequate organ perfusion. The investigators have recently developed an automated system (closed-loop system) to titrate vasopressor agents in surgical and intensive care patients. The purpose of this study is to compare two strategies to correct hypotension based on an individual definition of hypotension (therefore, the target MAP used to define hypotension will differ for each patient (individualized approach): 1. Control group = standard practice ( manually adjusted norepinephrine infusion to correct hypotension and keep MAP within 90% of patient's baseline MAP 2. Intervention group = closed-loop (automated) vasopressor administration system will deliver norepinephrine using feedback from standard operating room hemodynamic monitor (EV1000 Monitor-Flotrac, Edwards Lifesciences, IRVINE, USA) to correct hypotension and keep MAP within 90% of patient's baseline MAP
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate candidate predictors of persistence on adalimumab (Imraldi®) participants diagnosed with immune-mediated inflammatory disease in Europe (EU). The secondary objectives of this study are to describe participant clinical characteristics at baseline, utilization of Imraldi® over time, biologic drug effectiveness over time, participant satisfaction with biologic administration, routine laboratory values and clinical evaluation measurements over time, use of relevant concomitant medication use over time, immunogenicity of biosimilars and to summarize safety events.
The purpose of this study is to assess the rate and extent of absorption of bedaquiline following administration of a single oral dose of 100 milligram (mg) equivalent (1*100 mg) given as different test tablet formulations compared to the administration of a single oral dose of 100 mg equivalent (1*100 mg) formulated as SIRTURO commercial tablet (formulation F001), under fasted conditions in healthy adult participants. Also, to assess the effect of a standardized breakfast on the rate and extent of absorption of bedaquiline compared to fasted conditions following administration of a single oral dose of 100 mg equivalent (1*100 mg) for each of the different test tablet formulations.
This case control study will investigate the physiological effect of nociceptive input in individuals with temporomandibular disorders. To do so, the investigators will compare the development of secondary hyperalgesia following high frequency electrical stimulation (HFS) of skin nociceptors in the forearms for up to 48 hours in individuals with chronic TMD (as a main complain) and in healthy controls. Furthermore, the investigators will evaluate the association between the response to HFS and various factors, such as demographic, psychosocial and pain-related clinical factors.
