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 this trial is to evaluate the effect of avacopan treatment on renal disease activity in patients with complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Funding Source - FDA OOPD
This trial aims at comparing the effectiveness of different didactic tools developed for patients with chronic pain to correct misbeliefs and improve disability in patients with chronic low back pain
According to data of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), diabetes in general affects approximately 415 million people worldwide and this number is still increasing. Cardiovascular diseases, one of the major complications of diabetes, are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the diabetic population. One of the cardiovascular complications is diabetic cardiomyopathy, in which structural and functional changes occur in the heart impairing cardiac function. Exercise training has already proven the benefits on glycemic control in diabetes. This is also the case for the effects on cardiac function. However, as results are conflicting, it remains unclear which elements of exercise training should be focused on. For instance, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is gaining interest as positive effects are already shown on glycemic control. Therefore, the potential of HIIT to improve cardiac function in diabetes should be investigated. Further on, the effects of exercise training on cardiac function are mainly investigated during rest by the use of transthoracic echocardiography. Therefore, as data are lacking, it remains unclear how the diabetic heart functions during exercise. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of different training modalities (e.g. HIIT) on heart function in diabetes both during rest and during exercise itself. Therefore, cardiac function will be evaluated by the use transthoracic (exercise) echocardiography. This will be combined by the evaluation of several biochemical parameters. The results will provide more insight in the pathology of diabetic cardiomyopathy as well as the potential of exercise training for this cardiovascular complication. Eventually, this research will contribute to the optimization of exercise programs for patients with diabetes.
An unmet medical need exists for patients with moderate and severe asthma who continue to demonstrate symptoms despite being on standard of care medications, and are not eligible for other biologic therapies developed or in development for T2-high(allergic/eosinophilic) asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine if CJM112, an anti-IL-17A antibody, displayed the clinical efficacy and safety profile to support further development in patients with inadequately controlled moderate to severe asthma with low IgE and low circulating eosinophil levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ticlopidine on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intranasally administered esketamine.
Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), also referred to as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a rare hyper-eosinophilic syndrome. Eosinophilia is central to the pathophysiology of EGPA and interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a key cytokine regulating the life-cycle of the eosinophil. Neutralization of IL-5 with mepolizumab, an anti-IL5 monoclonal antibody, therefore offers a potential therapeutic option for EGPA. The objective of study MEA115921 was to investigate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab compared with placebo wherein the subjects were randomized to receive either: 300 milligram (mg) mepolizumab or Placebo subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks in addition to their background standard-of-care therapy. Subjects were treated for a period of 52 weeks and then followed up for a further 8 weeks to study completion at Week 60. This is a LAP to support provision of open-label mepolizumab on an individual basis to eligible subjects who participated in clinical study MEA115921 and who require a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of >=5 milligrams per day (mg/day) for adequate control of their EGPA. Eligible subjects can initiate mepolizumab under this LAP within a 6-month period starting from completion of study MEA115921 (that is, at Week 60) or, in case of premature discontinuation from study MEA115921, the subjects will initiate mepolizumab at the time point that would have been Week 60 if the subject had completed the study. Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneously administered mepolizumab at a dose of 300 mg SC every 4 weeks. Eligible subjects will continue to receive mepolizumab under this LAP until mepolizumab is commercially licensed for the treatment of EGPA in the relevant country or until GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) discontinues the program or until the subject meets any of the withdrawal/stopping criteria.
This is an open randomized clinical trial with two study arms. One group, receiving usual care for heart failure, will be compared to another group, receiving usual care plus active telemonitoring interference. When leaving the hospital, the usual care arm receives a document with a predefined medication scheme and advice for the general practitioner (like it is currently done in usual care). The telemonitoring interference in the other study arm consists of a smartphone application to register medication intake and to transmit the data of an automatic blood pressure device and a balance to a central platform. The goal is to improve medication uptitration (angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) and bètablockers (BB)) in heart failure patients and to improve medication compliance.
Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose Study in Normal Healthy Volunteers
The objective of this study is to estimate the safety and performance of Journey II BCS TKS.
On the basis of a questionnaire the participation at sports activities of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus will be studied. The occurrence of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia will be evaluated, as well as the measures to prevent these complications.
