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.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disorder, characterized by the presence of more than 10 % of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Therapeutic intervention is recommended when at least one of the myeloma defining events occurs (CRAB features). Renal impairment (RI) is one of the most common complications of MM, accounting for 20-30 % of MM patients at diagnosis and 40-50% of patients during the course of their disease. To date, there is no defined consensus for the management of myeloma patients with renal failure. It is then of clinical importance to better considering available therapeutic options to improve responses and survival of these patients.
Many obese individuals experience difficulties in executing household activities. In this study, we investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of obese vs. non-obese women, and the impact of obesity on cardiorespiratory functioning during daily household activities.
The purpose of this Post-Approval Study (PAS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of MPP to improve CRT response in the non-responder patient population when used in "real-world" clinical practice, following commercial release. This evaluation is based on the Clinical Composite Score which summarizes the proportions and frequencies of CRT non-responder patients who are "improved", "unchanged" or "worsened" after receiving MPP therapy. Patients will be followed for the duration of the PAS. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the MPP feature and is integrated within the Product Surveillance Registry (PSR).
This study is a phase 1 study of PF-06651600. PF-06651600 is being developed for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The goal of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PF-06651600 after multiple oral doses of PF-06651600 in Japanese healthy volunteers.
The GLOBAL LEADERS Adjudication Sub-StudY, GLASSY, is based on a re-assessment of all the events reported in the dataset of the parent trial (COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF 1 MONTH OF TICAGRELOR PLUS ASPIRIN FOLLOWED BY TICAGRELOR MONOTHERAPY VERSUS A CURRENT-DAY INTENSIVE DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY IN ALL-COMERS PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION WITH BIVALIRUDIN AND BIOMATRIX FAMILY DRUG-ELUTING STENT USE) by an independent Clinical Event Committee (CEC), composed of three physicians not involved in the main trial. The substudy include the first 19 top-enrolling sites of the GLOBAL LEADERS to reach the estimated sample size of 7,186 patients for the two co-primary outcomes of death, any non-fatal myocardial infarction, any non-fatal stroke or urgent target vessel revascularization and bleeding events classified as 3 or 5 according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria. To ensure a comprehensive assessment of clinical events, a triggers logic is adopted to identify other potential events qualifying for study endpoints but not reported as such by local investigators.
This will be an investigator- and subject-blinded (sponsor open), randomized, placebo controlled, sequential, ascending, multiple oral dose study, with 5 planned cohorts (optional sixth and seventh cohorts). A total of approximately 50 (if 5 cohorts), 60 (if 6 cohorts), and up to 70 (if 7 cohorts) subjects will be randomized in this study. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized to receive PF-06865571 or matching placebo with approximately 10 subjects dosed in each cohort. For a given subject in any cohort, the total study duration from screening to follow-up phone call will be between approximately 7 to 11 weeks.
This Phase II, open-label, single-arm study evaluated the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib in subjects with inoperable or advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) who received at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy. Patients received an oral once-daily total dose of 300 mg derazantinib capsules.
Several studies have shown that lean mass, in particular muscle mass, is an excellent predictive survival factor in many diseases. A better knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for muscle atrophy and the identification of atrophic process markers are deeply needed for the development of new anti-atrophic therapies. Either as drugs used to treat several medical conditions or as endocrine hormones released in response to many stress situations (e.g., sepsis, cancer, insulinopenia…), glucocorticoids (GC) are recognized to play a major role in skeletal muscle atrophy. Indeed, the inhibition of GC action by a receptor antagonist (RU486) or by muscle-specific invalidation of the GC receptor inhibits the muscle atrophy in these stress situations. Therefore, all these data clearly indicate that GC play a major role in skeletal muscle atrophy observed in several conditions. Emerging evidence has revealed that the skeletal muscle has a secretory function. Human skeletal muscle secretome was first estimated at about 300 proteins by computational analysis and proteomic analysis have recently confirmed these results. Some of these secreted proteins, conceptualized as myokines, can act locally on muscle cells through autocrine/paracrine loops and on surrounding tissues such as muscle blood vessels or can be released into the blood stream to produce systemic effects. One prominent example is interleukin (IL)-6 which is released into circulation by contracting skeletal muscle and can regulate metabolic and inflammatory processes. As IL-6, several other potential myokines have been identified including IL-8, IL-15, insulin-growth factor I (IGF-I), follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) or fibroblast-growth factor (FGF)-21. Moreover, secreted proteins may also reflected metabolic changes which take place in muscle cells. Indeed, myoblast differentiation is accompanied by dramatic changes in the secreted proteins profile as increased expression of Semaphorins, IGF-I, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 or Collagens. Thereby, the investigators hypothesized that skeletal muscle atrophy induced by GC is associated with specific alterations of the muscle secretome. The aim of this project is to identify the GC-induced changes in the secretome of human skeletal muscle cells in culture (in vitro approach) and to determine how these changes translate into the circulation of subjects exposed to high concentrations of GC (Cushing's syndrome) (in vivo approach). Characterization of these changes in human subjects should allow to better understand the cellular mechanisms involved in muscle atrophy and might lead to identify circulating biomarkers associated with skeletal muscle atrophy, as telopeptides are for bone tissue.
This is a first-in-human and proof-of-concept study of VX-445. The study includes 6 parts. Parts A, B, and C were conducted in healthy subjects. Parts D, E, and F were conducted in subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F/F genotype), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ, IVA, or TEZ/IVA (F/MF genotypes).
Mechanical ventilation can be used to impose a completely regular pattern of breathing frequency and inflation volume on the patient for as long as required. This would considerably improve the reproducibility of the internal motion parameters, and thus facilitate the implementation of respiratory-synchronized techniques such as gating, tracking and four-digital optimization.
