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.
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND's) remain an important complication after surgery. After many years of speculating about the etiology of this complication, currently studies are pointing to an inflammatory cascade being set in motion. This prospective study is designed to examine preoperative lifestyle factors (such as sedentary behavior) associated with postoperative cognitive impairment in a group of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The objectives in our study are to: identify perioperative risk factors for the development of PND's measure the incidence and duration of perioperative neurocognitive disorders in a known high-risk group of elective surgical patients measure a peripheral inflammatory marker (interleukin 6: IL-6) in the same group of surgical patients
Exercise therapy and increased physical activity in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) improves mobility, muscular strength, physical fitness and fatigue without increasing relapse rate. As such, physical activity and more particular exercise therapy have become an important part of MS rehabilitation. Despite the fact that the positive effects of exercise therapy in MS are obvious only 43 percent of the MS community reports to participate in an exercise program4. Therefore, new exercise therapy approaches that further optimize rehabilitation, improve exercise adherence and promote participation in physical exercise in MS are interesting to explore. Therefore, the randomized controlled trial investigates two types of exercise interventions (classic progressive vs periodized) with or without the addition of ergogenic supplements (beta-alanine vs placebo).
The purpose of this study is to determine the bioavailability of apalutamide tablets administered orally as dispersed tablets mixed in applesauce relative to whole tablets under fasting conditions in healthy male participants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of steady-state clarithromycin once every 12 hour on the pharmacokinetic parameters of bedaquiline and its active metabolite M2 after a single dose of bedaquiline.
The investigators refer to the trial with clinicaltrials.gov indentifier NCT02610933 entitled Effect on Vascular Calcification of Replacing Warfarin by Rivaroxaban With or Without VitK2 in Hemodialysis Patients. After termination of this trial, included patients will be asked to participate in the extension trial by continuing the treament of their respective allocation arm. No new intervention will be done.
Phase 2A study, assessing the antitumor activity and the safety profile of GM102, a new compound (monoclonal antibody), administered alone or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of GM102 single agent and in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether and how 'MyPlan 2.0' helps older adults to be more physically active or less sedentary. Two groups will be created, an intervention group and a waiting-list control group.
The main purpose of the study is to see if GLPG1690 helps (together with the standard of care treatment) in the treatment of the skin and other areas affected by systemic sclerosis. Another aim is to find out how safe/well tolerated GLPG1690 will be and whether there are any side effects. The study will also look at other things, including whether the study drug affects disease progression and also if it changes any aspect of the quality of life.
The investigators will investigate the effects of acute and sub-acute administration of gluten on mood, intestinal permeability, gastrointestinal symptoms and gut peptide levels in healthy volunteers (HV).
The goal of this longitudinal study is to (1) explore the association between the gut microbiota and inflammatory disease activity in early onset multiple sclerosis, (2) investigate whether/how gut microbial composition vary when patients experience a relapse, and (3) to assess whether the gut microbiota shows increased similarities between affected pairs of first-degree relatives within the same family when compared with discordant pairs of first-degree relatives.
