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 aim of the study is to develop and implement robust analytical protocols for first-void urine sample preparation and antibody assays to monitor vaccine induced immunity against HPV (Human Papillomavirus).
The goal of this clinical trial is to show the blood pressure lowering effect of aprocitentan, a new drug, when added to other anti-hypertensive drugs of patients with difficult to control (resistant) high blood pressure (hypertension), and to show that blood pressure reduction is kept for long period of time.
This protocol concerns an academic, multicentric, and prospective clinical trial. In this study the investigators will evaluate the recently approved WAVE-plate (7S Medical) for open reduction and internal fixation and buttressing of the posterior proximal tibial column via a posteromedial reversed L-shaped approach. The reversed L-shaped approach has been shown as a safe technique with adequate visualisation of the posterior tibial surface. The investigators will thoroughly evaluate all important clinical, radiological and functional variables. The functional outcome will be reported in patient reported outcome measures by means of the validated Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS).
This is a Phase Ib, multi-center, open-label, nonrandomized multiple cohorts study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses of a combination treatment of GLPG2451 and GLPG2222, with and without GLPG2737, in adult subjects with Cystic Fibrosis.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label study with an active standard-of-care comparator (penicillamine)
The study consisted of 3 parts (Part A, Part B and Part C). Part A was an open-label, randomized, multi center design to evaluate the feasibility of administration of inhaled flecainide in two dosing regimens. Part B was an open-label, multicenter design to confirm the safety (including tolerability) and efficacy of the optimal inhaled flecainide dose determined from Part A. Part C was an open-label, multi center study with exploratory objectives to explore the feasibility of patient-led self administration of flecainide. Part C also included an exploratory sub-study to assess the feasibility of implementing a portable cardiac ultrasound (HHE) at screening in an emergent setting.
This study investigated the short-term effect of both harmonic techniques and supporting cushions on muscle tone, range of motion, pain and daily care activities in 22 patients with moderate to severe paratonia. The study consisted of two parts, each part was conducted during one week. In the first part of the study the short-term effect of supporting cushions was examined; in the second part of the study the additional short-term effect of harmonic techniques was investigated.
This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of tezacaftor in combination with ivacaftor (TEZ/IVA) in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged 6 years and older, homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del mutation.
This is a study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus secukinumab in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (PSO).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a frequent disease affecting up to 25% of the USA population, 2-44% in Europe and up to 42,6-69,5% in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a disease that could progress from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma. NASH is part of continuum of metabolic syndrome and constitutes a serious public health concern manifesting by premature cardiovascular disease, end stage diabetes complication and will likely become the first cause of end stage liver disease. Insuline resistance is the hallmark of NASH. Some recent studies both in animals and humans have demonstrated abnormal hypertrophy of the duodenal mucosa, changes in enteroendocrine cell density and number, endocrine hyperplasia, and alterations in gut hormone signaling highlighting the role of the upper intestine gut in glucose homeostasis and thus insulin sensitizing. Given these physiological and pathophysiological features, abrasion of duodenal mucosa was assessed both in animals and humans. The investigators reported an improvement in both glucose homeostasis and transaminases levels suggesting possibly an improvement of NASH. Until now, lifestyle medication is the only recognized efficient treatment for fatty liver disease. Unfortunately, only a minority of patients achieve a significant weight loss and lifestyle modifications. The investigators aim to study the duodenal mucosal resurfacing procedure in patients with NASH biopsy proven in a proof of concept study allowing to assess this technique as a potential treatment to NASH.
