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 management of heart valve disease is constantly evolving over time. The minimally invasive approach (mini-thoracotomy and J-hemisternotomy) is one of the major surgical evolutions. It has many advantages including, among others, a reduction of postoperative pain and the preservation of sternal stability This evolution of the surgical technique towards a less invasive approach encouraged the investigators to adapt the anesthetic management accordingly. In particular, immediate postoperative extubation appeared feasible. The investigators would therefore like to test the hypothesis that immediate extuation is non-inferior to delayed extubation with regard to patient safety. The investigators also investigated whether immediate extubation could be beneficiel in terms of vasopressors requirement, risk of early postoperative complications, fluid balance and length of stay in the intesive care unit and in the hopsital.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of talquetamab when administered in different combination regimens and to identify the safe dose(s) of talquetamab combination regimens.
DESTINY-Lung04 will investigate the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) versus Standard of Care (SoC) as first-line treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with HER2 Exon 19 or 20 mutations
To perform a prospective, observational, international, multicentre, in vivo study to assess the performance of regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) for the exclusion of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection using white light high definition (HD) endoscopy without any kind of zoom or magnification. Gold standard will be mucosal biopsies (Sydney protocol) or urease test. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) should be performed in case of a negative histologic study for Hp in patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Participants will perform a training test with 20 pictures of the distal part of the lesser curvature before starting the inclusion of cases. Secondary objectives are: - To assess whether age, sex and PPIs, have an influence on the results of RAC. - To assess the correlation of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia (confirmed in histopathological samples) and RAC. - To assess reproducibility of RAC on real time examinations with different operators and in different countries with different Hp infection prevalence. Primary and secondary variables The primary study variable is: - Endoscopic detection of RAC. Secondary variables will be considered: - Sex - Age - PPI intake in the last two weeks - Centre - Country - Hp prevalence - Endoscopist - Type of endoscope - Significant findings (need of histological confirmation) - Atrophic gastritis - Intestinal metaplasia - Erosive gastritis - Benign gastric ulcer - Gastric adenoma - Gastric cancer
This observational study is designed to collect data on the use of the drug Lecigon® in daily clinical practice. The study is organised and funded by a pharmaceutical company called Britannia Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Britannia). Lecigon® is prescribed by physicians in advanced Parkinson's disease when patients suffer from uncontrollable fluctuations in mobility, so-called motor fluctuations, which cannot be adjusted well with oral treatment, i.e. medication for swallowing. In this study, data on the effect and possible side effects from everyday treatment with Lecigon® will be collected and scientifically evaluated. The study is intended to supplement the results of previous clinical studies with clinical data in routine medical care, collected from approximately 300 patients.
This study will investigate whether the recovery of muscle function of total knee arthroplasty is accelerated with the use of the gekoTM device along with its effect on reducing symptoms such as oedema and inhibition of the muscle function.
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare, severely disabling disease characterized by the presence of bone in soft tissue where bone normally does not exist, known as Heterotopic Ossification (HO). It is often associated with painful, recurrent episodes of soft tissue swelling (flare-ups) that lead to abnormal stiffening and immobility (ankyloses) of major joints with cumulative and irreversible loss of movement and disability. This study will evaluate the efficacy of 2 dosing regimens of IPN60130 in inhibiting new HO volume compared with placebo (a dummy treatment) in adult and paediatric participants with FOP. It will be assessed by a scan (provides internal images of the body) called low dose Whole Body Computed Tomography (WBCT), excluding head. Adults and participants 5 years of age or older are also eligible for a sub study to evaluate HO lesions assessed by another type of scan, Fluorine-18-labelled natrium fluoride Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography ([18F]NaF PET-CT ).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of AP-101 in participants with fALS and sALS.
The purpose of this study is to complement Study CBYL719C2301 (SOLAR-1) and obtain more comprehensive data on the efficacy and safety of alpelisib (BYL719) in combination with fulvestrant compared with placebo plus fulvestrant in men or postmenopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation who progressed or relapsed on or after treatment with an AI plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
This clinical trial is a Phase 2/3 study that will determine the recommended dose of mitapivat and evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in sickle cell disease by testing how well mitapivat works compared to placebo to increase the amount of hemoglobin in the blood and to reduce or prevent the occurrence of sickle cell pain crises. In addition, the long-term effect of mitapivat on efficacy and safety will be explored in an open-label extension portion.
