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 purpose of study is to compare bladder intact-event free survival (BI-EFS) in participants receiving TAR-200 in combination with intravenous (IV) cetrelimab versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving treatment frequently applied in intensive care unit (ICU). Nonetheless, by putting at rest the respiratory muscles, it can lead to respiratory muscle weakness and atrophy, which are accompanied by prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, difficult weaning and increased ICU mortality. Despite a strong theoretical rationale and some evidence supporting the use of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to address respiratory muscle weakness and atrophy, the optimal approach to IMT remains largely uncertain. In fact, mechanistic studies evaluating physiological adaptations that occur in respiratory muscles of mechanically ventilated patients in response to different training regimens have not been conducted so far. The aim of this study is to comprehensively investigate changes in respiratory muscle function in response to three different conditions that patients will be exposed to during their period of weaning from mechanical ventilation.
Context: This study is part of the larger Immersive Care project which (in short) seeks the connection between technology and care by conducting feasibility studies with promising technological interventions tailored to care. This is one of the case studies from the larger project titled: 360 ° video VR surgery preparation: feasibility, acceptability, tolerability and initial effectiveness of virtual reality for children in a Flemish hospital. Domain: This scientific study will take place in 1 hospital on the pediatric ward. The target group consists of children between 6 and 12 years of age who will undergo an operation, the parents and the care providers involved. Target: 1. Assess the acceptability, feasibility and tolerability of the 360 ° video VR surgery preparation. 2. Assess the effectiveness of the 360 ° video VR surgery preparation on preoperative procedural anxiety in children, comparing the intervention with care as usual (CAU *). - CAU in this study is a picture book which is a kind of animated video with text to explain what will happen on the day of the operation.
This is a multi-center multi-national rollover study to allow continued access to crizanlizumab for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who are on crizanlizumab treatment in a Novartis-sponsored study (parent study) and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.
Study WR42221 is a Phase IIIb, global, multicenter, randomized, visual assessor-masked study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab (PDS) 100 mg/mL delivered every 36 weeks (Q36W) compared with every 24 weeks (Q24W) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with 'standard' management by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) alone in a randomized study.
The Acutus Medical AcQForce Flutter-EU clinical study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized global study designed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the AcQBlate Force Sensing Ablation System in the ablation management of symptomatic cavotricuspid isthmus dependent atrial flutter. The AcQForce Flutter-EU study is a post-market study that will be run in parallel with a US IDE study of similar design. Data will be combined to support a pre-market approval (PMA) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This study evaluates TL-895, a potent, orally-available and highly selective irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of Myelofibrosis (Cohorts 1-3) or Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (Cohort 5). Participants must be diagnosed with Myelofibrosis and be relapsed/refractory (e.g., having failed prior therapy), intolerant, or ineligible to receive JAKi treatment, or be diagnosed with Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis.
Esophagectomy is the cornerstone of the curative treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Despite this treatment, patients can suffer from locoregional or distant metastatic disease and only a very selected group of patients can be cured: mostly those with recurrence in one single organ. Brain metastases are rare after esophagectomy for cancer, but they have a serious impact on survival. Agressive treatment is often moren difficult for brain metastases compared to other metastases and some risk factors have been identified earlier. There is an impression that the incidence of brain metastases in esophageal cancer patients has increased since the introduction of neoadjuvant treatment schemes. However, this is not clear yet. A potential explanation could be that chemotherapy disturbs the blood-brain-barrier, hereby facilitating the migration of tumor cells to the brain. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze the incidence and potential risk factors of brain metastases in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Patients treated between 2000 and 2019 will be included and outcome parameters are Odds Ratio for brain metastases (comparison between primary surgery and neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery), time to recurrence and risk factors, number and characteristics of the brain metastases.
This study aims to evaluate the role of extracellular vesicles in HIV-infection, by determining the expression profile and content of EVs before and after treatment initiation in HIV-infected patients, through extensive blood and tissue sampling (leukapheresis, stool sampling and colon biopsies). A one-time sampling (blood, stool, colon biopsies) will also be performed in HIV-seronegative healthy volunteers to confirm that results found in HIV-infected patients are related to the disease.
