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.
Previous research has indicated that direct eye gaze compared to averted gaze, elicits a higher skin conductance response (SCR), and a more pronounced left frontal cortex activity than right frontal cortex activity (resulting in positive asymmetry scores). On a behavioral level, participants tend to look shorter at live faces with a direct gaze as compared to averted gaze (Akechi et al., 2013). Further, subjective evaluations showed that a direct gaze is rated more arousing and less pleasant than an averted gaze (Akechi et al., 2013; Hietanen, Leppänen, Peltola, Linna-aho, & Ruuhiala, 2008). Importantly, oxytocin administration increases the number of fixations and to looking time towards the eye region during live social interaction. Further, oxytocin has been shown to influence SCR and heart rate variability. Therefore, it is conceivable that oxytocin will not only influence the gaze duration of the participant, but also the physiological and neurological responses elicited by direct eye gaze. In this study, the investigators will investigate whether oxytocin modulates the behavioural (eye gaze and subjective ratings), neurological (EEG) and physiological (skin conductance, heart rate and respiration) responses elicited by direct gaze.
This clinical study will evaluate the safety of an innovative approach expected to be disease-modifying by stopping the auto-immune-mediated destruction of islet β-cells in the pancreas. Three doses of the investigational product will be tested in successive cohorts. Although safety is the first objective of this study, we will gather efficacy data and perform a set of immunological tests to further understand the mechanism of action of this new approach in young adults with recent onset type 1 diabetes.
The ENTRAP Study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm, study with follow-up to 30 days to determine the acute safety, acute device performance and clinical performance of the Vanguard IEP Peripheral Balloon Angioplasty System with Integrated Embolic Protection. The Vanguard IEP Peripheral Balloon Angioplasty System with Integrated Embolic Protection is indicated for peripheral vascular percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and capture and removal of embolic material during angioplasty for the femoral, iliac, popliteal and profunda arteries.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1B/2 study to evaluate the safety and assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of binimetinib administered in combination with nivolumab or nivolumab + ipilimumab in adult patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with microsatellite stable (MSS) disease and presence of a RAS mutation that have received at least one prior line of therapy and no more than 2 prior lines of therapy. The study contains a Phase 1b period to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule of binimetinib followed by a randomized Phase 2 period to assess the efficacy of the combinations.
The main purpose of the study is to measure the whole-body distribution and radiation dosimetry of [18F]JNJ-64511070 in healthy male participants by positron emission tomography (PET) (Part A); and to measure the uptake, binding, distribution, and washout of [18F]JNJ-64511070 in the brain of healthy male participants by PET and to model tissue specific kinetics of [18F]JNJ-64511070 with the appropriate arterial input function (IF) (Part B).
The hypothesis of the study is that the presence of (subclinical) gut inflammation at baseline in patients with early active axial spondyloarthritis predisposes to a more severe disease defined as more need to use anti-tumor necrosis factor α therapy and a shorter time to relapse after stopping anti-tumor necrosis factor α therapy after obtaining sustained clinical remission. Overall, the investigators hypothesize that subclinical gut inflammation is an important predictor in therapy response and outcome. These data could provide better insights into the complex interactions between gut and joint inflammation and guide the physicians in the therapeutic approach.
The objective of this study is to provide an up-to-date, global picture of the extent and patterns of pressure injuries in ICUs. Point prevalence studies are only of value when performed on a vast scale. To sample a representative cohort, it is the intention to recruit about 1200 ICUs with all continents covered and as many countries as possible within each continent.
The purpose of this study is to obtain long-term clinical data from patients approximately 15 years after their first clinical event, who participated in the former BENEFIT 304747 study and were treated at least once within that study. This study will collect clinical information on the disease course, on disability, relapses, cognitive function over time, quality of life, depression, fatigue, resource use, and employment status. In addition, brain MRI is performed.
A split-mouth design study will be performed regarding the use of platelet concentrates on ridge preservation: L-PRF vs A-PRF vs control. Patient needing multiple teeth extractions in the upper jaw (single-rooted teeth) will be recruited. The use of each platelet concentrate or control will be randomized by means of a computer program. The results will be analysed clinical and radiographically (CBCT). When the subject will choose for implant rehabilitation, a biopsy will be taken in the site of the preserved sockets. The region will be localized with a customized stent, fabricated with the position of the extracted teeth. VAS scales will be provided to evaluate the post-operative discomfort.
The purpose of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of a combined APR-246 and PLD chemotherapy regimen in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) with mutated TP53. In addition, the study aims to assess the safety profile of the combined APR-246 and PLD chemotherapy regimen, to evaluate potential biomarkers, and to assess the biological activity in tumor and surrogate tissues. The trial will enroll at least 25 evaluable patients.
