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.
To adopt a machine learning technique to decide whether operative or non-operative treatment will result in the best patient-outcome.
The purpose of this study is to describe the natural history and progression of patients diagnosed with PH1, and to characterize the long-term real-world safety and effectiveness of lumasiran.
This is a monocentric, two-arm, non-randomised, non-blinded, historically controlled, interventional trial. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect of model-informed infliximab dose de-escalation on the infliximab exposure and therapeutic outcome as compared to standard dose de-escalation in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
This observational study aims to assess kidney function through direct glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using iohexol clearance, compared to estimated GFR based on creatinine and cystatin C equations. Kidney function will also be evaluated through renal fibrosis biomarkers. Kidney function will be correlated to body composition, muscle turnover biomarkers, and bone micro-architecture.
In many patients with an acute unilateral vestibular deafferentiation (uVD) syndrome symptoms are expected to resolve spontaneously because of central compensation. However, more detailed observations have revealed that 29-66 % of uVD patients develop disabling chronic dizziness lasting >1 year after the acute event. Identifying predictors of chronic dizziness would allow patients at high risk to be targeted with personalized therapies to reduce healthcare costs. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to identify predictors of chronic dizziness after an acute uVD. Despite the consensus on the usefulness of physical therapy, incorporation of physical therapy programs in daily management of patients after acute uVD remains troublesome. Therefore, the first objective is to study the effect of the actual level of physical activity in the acute stage on long term (LT) outcome. Recent data show that LT prognosis is more linked to anxiety and somatization traits than to objective vestibular findings. Therefore, the second objective is to study the effect of activities avoidance behavior on LT outcome. As stated above it is questioned whether objective vestibular findings can predict chronicity. However recently the Perez and Rey(PR) score was developed. Therefore, the third objective is to study the effect of early central vestibular compensation as measured by the PR score on LT outcome. In patients with poor central vestibular compensation the remaining sensory cues will need to compensate for the loss of vestibular information. Patients using a visual compensation strategy can become dependent of stable visual cues. Therefore, the fourth objective is to study the effect of visual motion sensitivity on LT outcome. A 2-year prospective cohort study will be performed to study aforementioned risk factors for chronic dizziness. Up to 200 consecutive patients with an acute uVD will be included. Chronic dizziness is indicated by a score >30 on the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (primary outcome) after 6 months. Possible risk factors will be evaluated by using MOX1-activity loggers (objective 1), the Vestibular Activities Avoidance Inventory (objective 2), video Head Impulse Testing including the Perez & Rey score (objective 3), Subjective Visual Vertical test and Rod & Disc test (objective 4). Measurements will be taken in the acute phase and 4, 10, 26 and 52 weeks after the acute event.
Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a side effect of chemotherapy. HFS is characterized by redness, swelling, and pain on the palms of the hands and/or soles of the feet, which can progress to blistering. Hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) refers to symptoms affecting the hands and/or feet associated with multikinase inhibitors (TKIs). HFS and HFSR are painful complications that can lead to compromised daily activities, sleep-wake disturbance and impaired mobility, eventually decreasing Quality of Life (QoL). Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-invasive therapy based on the application of visible and/or near-infrared light produced by a laser diode or a light-emitting diode. The scientifically proven biologic effects of PBM are improved wound healing, and a reduction in pain, inflammation, and oedema. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBMT in the management of HFS and HFSR.
Purpose: To provide an update on the implementation of prevention among hockey players by their entourage. Materiel and method: This study will be conducted by the means of a questionnaire. The target population consisted of trainers. The questionnaire will be validated by experts and published on an online survey website
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of belzutifan in combination with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in multiple solid tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancer (BTC), endometrial cancer (EC),and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). There is no formal hypothesis testing in this study.
This is a multicenter, two-stage, randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of iberdomide in combination with dexamethasone and daratumumab (IberDd) versus daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVd) in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
The main purpose of this study is to measure how well imlunestrant works compared to standard hormone therapy, and how well imlunestrant with abemaciclib work compared to imlunestrant in participants with breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal receptor 2 negative (HER2-). Participants must have breast cancer that is advanced or has spread to another part of the body. Study participation could last up to 5 years.
