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.
A healthy lifestyle has proved beneficial health effects in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Important lifestyle behaviors, i.e. sleep, sedentary time (SB), and physical activity (PA) subdivided into light physical activity (LPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), have shown an impact on T2DM disease-specific characteristics (e.g. glycemic control). However, these behaviors have often been investigated separately. Therefore, a recent shift in research emphasizes the importance of considering these behaviors as part of a 24-hour day. Since T2DM patients can benefit from an optimal 24-hour composition as part of a healthy lifestyle, it may be interesting to investigate the 24-hour movement composition among these T2DM patients over time. Moreover, exploring associations with different personal determinants, environmental determinants, and cardiometabolic markers will provide meaningful insights in developing recommendations and creating an intervention.
For genital gender affirming surgery, it remains unclear to what extent genital sensitivity might be expected and what the impact of this might be on sexual functioning.
The purpose of the CYAD-101-002 study is to assess the safety and clinical activity of CYAD-101 in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer administered concurrently with FOLFOX chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab treatment.
This study is an open-label, uncontrolled study design to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of treatment with CC-93538. The study will enroll participants who participated in the CC-93538-EE-001 or CC-93538-DDI-001 studies.
The main objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions, as defined in the paper by Van den Bosch T, Dueholm M, ea. in 2015, to differentiate between different types of myometrial lesions of more than 1 cm. The primary aim is the diagnostic accuracy of the MUSA terms and definitions and the secondary aim the development of a prediction model.
The aim of this study is to collect a large set of norm/control data on an instrumented treadmill (the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab - GRAIL) at the university hospital of Ghent for the purpose of clinical studies as well as for clinical interpretation. We hypothesize that this norm/control data will provide reference data of the normal gait patterns in the healthy population such that we can then use it to identify gait abnormalities in populations with pathology. The following data will be collected on the GRAIL while subjects walk at different gait speeds: 3D kinematics, kinetics, and EMG. Additionally, 3D kinematics, kinetics, and EMG data will be collected when performing either a cognitive (Stroop Color and Word Test) or motor (requiring arm swing) dual-task while walking at comfortable walking speed.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of efavaleukin alfa on induction of clinical remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 3 efavaleukin alfa doses or placebo during a 12-week induction period. Participants who complete the 12-week induction period will have the option to enter an exploratory long-term treatment period for up to 40 weeks (total of up to 52 weeks of treatment) if, in the opinion of the investigator, they may benefit from continued treatment. During the long-term period, participants randomized to efavaleukin alfa will remain on the same efavaleukin alfa blinded dose; participants randomized to placebo who achieved clinical response at week 12 will remain on placebo; and placebo non-responders (ie, participants randomized to placebo who did not achieve clinical response at week 12) will receive efavaleukin alfa in a blinded manner during continued treatment. All participants will complete a safety follow-up visit 6 weeks after their last dose of investigational product.
Pneumonia is the most common infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and occurs in 10% of all ICU admissions. Unfortunately, ICU patient outcomes remain poor with a high mortality rate associated with pneumonia despite recent therapeutic advances. Previous studies of antibiotics used in ICU patients, which includes ceftriaxone, meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam, have quantified major differences in pharmacokinetics (PK) between ICU and non-ICU patients, with ICU patients displaying a unique spectrum of plasma concentration-time profiles. These PK differences can lead to suboptimal antibiotic concentrations in blood, which have been associated with a reduced likelihood of clinical cure for pneumonia. Furthermore, highlighting the importance of optimised dosing for pneumonia is that multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens emerge during antibiotic therapy in approximately half of the ICU patients, frequently emerging from the lung. Previous work has highlighted how infection site concentrations determine patient outcome. For pneumonia, the infection site is best described as the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) in the lung. Although optimal antibiotic therapy should be considered a priority for ICU patients with pneumonia to improve the persisting poor outcomes, the dosing regimens that can achieve therapeutic concentrations at the infection site (i.e., ELF) in ICU patients with pneumonia remain unknown. The PNEUDOS study aims to address this significant knowledge gap by defining novel individualised dosing regimens that can maximise antibiotic efficacy by achieving therapeutic concentrations in the blood and ELF of ICU patients with pneumonia. These dosing regimens can then be validated in future clinical trials.
This is a Phase 1b/2, multi-center, open label umbrella study of patients ≥12 years of age with recurrent, progressive, or refractory melanoma or other solid tumors with alterations in the key proteins of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, referred to as the MAPK pathway.
This is an open-label multicenter randomized non comparative phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal anti-KIR3DL2 antibody Lacutamab in patients with Refractory/Relapsing (R/R) KIR3DL2 positive Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) : Not Other Specified (NOS), PTCL-TFH (including Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma (AITL), Follicular T-cell lymphoma, Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma with TFH phenotype), Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL), Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T cell lymphoma (MEITL), NK-T cell lymphoma (NKT) and Aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL). The design is non comparative meaning that non comparison between arms will be performed as the control arm will ensure that the assumptions used for sample size calculation are verified. For that reason, randomization is unbalanced in favor of the experimental arm (2:1).
