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 2-arm, randomized, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine versus trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who have residual tumor present in the breast or axillary lymph nodes following preoperative therapy. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg or trastuzumab 6 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks for 14 cycles. Radiotherapy and/or hormone therapy will be given in addition if indicated.
RATIONALE: It is not yet known whether extreme hypofractionation is equally safe and effective than standard radiation therapy in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This protocol presents a randomised phase II study aiming to investigate the tolerance and disease control of extreme hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for prostate cancer.
Ventral hernias, such as umbilical, epigastric and trocar-site hernias, are best repaired with abdominal wall reinforcement by mesh implantation. Mesh-devices using a dual-sided mesh technology have been developed for the specific indication of small ventral hernias; this technique is very attractive because the mesh can be introduced through a nearly invisible scar in the umbilicus. The dual layer of the mesh inhibits the formation of adhesions of the viscera to the mesh so, if wanted, it can be positioned in a intraperitoneal position. No literature is available on the adequate size of mesh needed to repair a hernia defect of an umbilical or epigastric hernia. Very small hernias are now often enlarged for repair with a large mesh device. Small hernias might benefit of repair with a small mesh device so no enlargement of the defect is necessary Larger hernias might benefit from a larger mesh size to have more overlap of the mesh beyond the hernia defect. The SITUP-trial was a prospective cohort study who was designed to explore the efficacy of C-QUR V-Patch of different sizes for the different sizes of hernia defects. The study was stopped prematurely because of the perception of an unacceptably high rate of mesh infection. This new study will retrospectively examine the incidence of mesh infection in all ventral hernias repaired with a C-QUR V-Patch. Collection of patient data was done using the Eura-HS registry.
This study enrolled 472 participants, aged 55 or older, with a diagnosis of de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or AML secondary to prior myelodysplastic disease or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and who have achieved first complete remission (CR)/ complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) following induction with or without consolidation chemotherapy. The study is amended to include an extension phase (EP). The EP allows participants who are currently receiving oral azacitidine and who are demonstrating clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, to continue receiving oral azacitidine after unblinding by sponsor until the participant meets the criteria for study discontinuation or until oral azacitidine becomes commercially available and reimbursed. In addition, all participants in the placebo arm and participants who had been discontinued from the treatment phase (irrespective of randomization arm) and continuing in the follow-up phase will be followed for survival in the EP.
This post-marketing investigation will evaluate the long term (up to 15 years) survivorship of the Attune Primary Knee Prosthesis in patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease. Data from Subjects who receive one of four knee configurations will be pooled to establish a contemporary dataset.
This is a follow-on study to the VELOUR trial (NCT00561470). The aim of this study is to acquire the archived colorectal cancer and metastasized tissue tumour blocks of patients who have participated in the VELOUR study. These samples will be analysed to find proteins or markers which represent how an individual may be responding to treatment. The identification of these markers may help provide personalised and more effective treatment programs for patients with similar conditions in the future.
An Open-label, Single arm, Multicenter Phase 2 Study of the Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor PCI-32765 (Ibrutinib) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma with 17p Deletion
Sunitinib may provide an opportunity for a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of subjects with neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this prospective, observational cohort study is to evaluate the incidence of adverse events of special interest (AESI) and effectiveness in participants with active, autoantibody-positive SLE treated with and without BENLYSTA (belimumab). Participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 cohorts: (1) BENLYSTA cohort: participants receiving or initiating BENLYSTA plus standard of care (SOC) at Baseline; (2) comparison cohort: participants not receiving BENLYSTA but receiving SOC at Baseline. After enrollment, changes in lupus medications, including starting or stopping BENLYSTA, are at the discretion of the physician, and all participants will continue to be followed regardless of changes in their lupus medicines until study completion. All participants will be assessed for AESI including serious infections, opportunistic infections and other infections of interest, malignancies, selected serious psychiatric events and mortality. Data will be collected at enrollment and at 6 month intervals for 5 years. BENLYSTA is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
Determinate safety and response rate of the association Deferasirox -Vitamine D - Azacitidine in treatment of high risk MDS Deferasirox Exjade: The dose of Deferasirox will be assigned according to the ferritin level. Dose escalation is scheduled during the phase I, with 5 additional patients per group. The maximal tolerated dose of Deferasirox will be required for the phase II of the study. The first dose will be assigned according to the ferritin level of the patient at time of inclusion: 5 mg/kg/d if the ferritin is >300ng/ml and < 1000ng/ml in Group 1 10 mg/kg/d if the ferritin is ≥1000ng/ml) in Group 2 Group 1 : Ferritin 300 to 1000ng /ml: - cohort 1 : 5 mg/kg/d - cohort 2 : 10mg/kg/d - cohort 3 : 15 mg/kg/d Group 2 : Ferritin > 1000ng /ml: - cohort 1 : 10 mg/kg/d - cohort 2 : 15mg/kg/d - cohort 3 : 20 mg/kg/d 5 patients will be treated by cohort. In absence of toxicity (extra-hematological toxicity grade 3 or 4 or hematological grade 4), 5 additional patients will be included in the next cohort. Deferasirox will be administrated once daily during all the study period. Uvedose will be administrated once weekly during all the study period (100.000 UI P.O). Azacitidine will be administrated sc at 75 mg/m²/d, during 7 days, J1 to J7 of each cycles(One cycle is 28 days) During phase I and II, Deferasirox will always be associated with Vitamin D and Azacitidine Patients will be received 6 cycles of treatment (except if progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawn of patients occured) After 3 and 6 cycles, an evaluation will be done to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment. No dose modification of deferasirox will be done after 3 cycles of treatment except in case of progression). After 6 cycles, patients with CR, PR, marrow CR or HI will be treated with the same dose of Deferasirox until progression .
