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.
Increasing ("boosting") the radiation dose for patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma to the individual maximal dose which can safely be given. The question is if patients should receive this boost on the whole tumor on part of the tumor. Therefore patients are randomized for one of these two treatment options. All patients will receive 24 radiations. Dose increasement will be enabled by a so called integrated boost. Furthermore: - PET imaging of hypoxia using [18F]HX4, single injection and then PET CT scanning two and four hours post injection.
This randomized phase II-R/III trial studies gemcitabine hydrochloride with or without erlotinib hydrochloride followed by the same chemotherapy regimen with or without radiation therapy and capecitabine or fluorouracil in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that was removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, capecitabine, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy together with or without erlotinib hydrochloride and/or radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective when given with or without erlotinib hydrochloride and/or radiation therapy in treating pancreatic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the following hypotheses: 1. Enteral glutamine administration decreases in-hospital mortality in adult patients with severe thermal burn injuries. 2. Enteral glutamine administration decreases hospital-acquired blood stream infections from Gram negative organisms and length of stay in ICU and hospital for adult patients with severe thermal burn injuries. 3. Enteral glutamine administration will improve the physical function of surviving burn injured patients and reduce their cost of care. The objectives of this trial are to determine the overall treatment effect and safety of glutamine in burn patients. Specifically, the investigators want to assess the following outcomes in a sample of 1200 patients in 80 sites: 1. In patients with severe, life-threatening burn injury, what is the effect of enteral glutamine on time to discharge alive from hospital 2. In patients with severe, life-threatening burn injury, what is the effect of enteral glutamine on 6 month mortality, hospital-acquired blood stream infections from Gram negative organisms, hospital mortality, duration of stay in ICU and hospital, health-related quality of life, and health care resources?
The research study is testing the investigational drug necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study is to determine if necitumumab, given together with a standard chemotherapy combination consisting of cisplatin and gemcitabine will be more effective in improving participant disease than the standard chemotherapy combination alone.
RATIONALE: Gathering information over time from bone density and laboratory tests of women with breast cancer treated with triptorelin and tamoxifen or exemestane may help the study of breast cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying changes in bone mineral density in women with breast cancer treated with triptorelin and tamoxifen or exemestane on protocol IBC SG-25-02 (TEXT).
To access whether the ovulation triggering with rec-HCG instead urinary-HCG has any impact on the blastulation rate and pregnancy rate of patients undergoing IVF treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine whether heart rate variability-like parameters are related to changes in the disease status of a subject that suffers from a disease that decreases the pumping function of the heart.
Primary objective: - Compare the complete remission (CR) rates (i.e., the true CR, with negative immunofixation) achieved with either four courses of VD or four courses of VTD. Secondary objectives: - Compare the following parameters following 4 cycles of VD or VTD induction treatment: - CR rate+ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate - Overall remission rate (CR + VGPR + partial remission (PR) rate) - K/l light chain ratio in patients in CR. - Safety (quality of the sampled stem cells, extrahaematological and haematological toxicity: specially neurological toxicity, length of hospitalization). - Compare the CR rate and the CR + VGPR rates after post-induction autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) as a single agent in patients with relapsed or refractory ALCL.
The primary objective of the study is to increase by 15% the complete macroscopic resection rate of predominantly liver metastases from metastatic colorectal cancer through combining systemic cetuximab and hepatic artery infusion of three-drug chemotherapy (irinotecan, oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil).
