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 purposes of this study were as follows: 1) to compare locomotion parameters (kinematic, EMG, mechanical work and energy cost changes during walking in able-bodied subjects and AIS patients,2) to evaluate the effects of the frontal curve's severity of the AIS and 3) the effects of the treatment (orthosis or surgery)on these gait parameters.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, cytarabine, and idarubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine and to see how well it works when given together with cytarabine and idarubicin in treating patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplasia.
Due to the potential for pregnancy-induced changes in the pharmacokinetics of medication, one cannot assume that the currently licensed doses of the medication to be tested under this protocol lead to adequate exposure in an HIV-infected pregnant woman. For the agents under study no or limited pharmacokinetic data during pregnancy are available. As the changes in pharmacokinetics during pregnancy are most prominent in the third trimester a pharmacokinetic curve will be recorded in the third trimester after attaining steady state.
The purpose of this study is to determine if dynamic psychophysical testing along with genetic screening will allow to identify pre-operatively women who will suffer severe acute pain post-operatively and the subset who may experience chronic pain following cesarean section.
The present proof of concept study addresses the following specific aims: The general objectives of this work are: 1. To increase and maintain the functional beta-cell mass after islet transplantation under a condition of low-dose tacrolimus 2. To co-investigate the potential of alternative sites for encapsulated beta-cells
This is a global, multicenter, open-label safety extension study. Participants receiving single-agent trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab emtansine administered in combination with other anti-cancer therapies in a Genentech / Roche-sponsored parent study who are active and receiving benefit at the closure of parent study are eligible for continued treatment in this study.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of selenium may keep bladder cancer from growing or coming back. It is not yet known whether selenium is more effective than a placebo in preventing cancer recurrence in patients with bladder cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying selenium to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing cancer recurrence in patients with bladder cancer.
The purpose of this observational study is to assess predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to Belgian hospitals.
The study population will exist of patients with a histological diagnosis of NSCLC, stage T1, T2 or T3NO who are not fit for or who refuse surgery. A prospective data analysis will be performed on tumor response, potential acute and late toxicity and survival. A radiotherapy dose of 4x15Gy or 3x 20Gy will be given over 2 weeks with dynamic 3D-conformal arc therapy (Novalis TM)
There is a well-documented relationship between short sleep duration and high body mass index (BMI). The mechanism linking short sleep duration and weight gain is unknown. Current studies in healthy young volunteers have shown that experimental sleep restriction is associated with dysregulation of the neuroendocrine control of appetite and with alterations in glucose metabolism. The goal of our study is to determine the metabolic and hormonal modifications induced by chronic sleep curtailment in obese adolescents and young adults and to observe if short sleep is a negative prognostic factor in their weight evolution.
