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.
This prospective observational cohort study aims to improve the postoperative course after minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIP) with stented pancreaticogastrostomy (sPG) for pancreatic head or peri-ampullary neoplasms. Patients are submitted to an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program with early enteral nutrition (EEN).
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of a traditional home exercise program versus 2 kinetic chain home exercise programs on treatment outcome of overhead athletes with shoulder impingement syndrome. Primary outcome measures are reduction of pain and disability, and improvement in functionality and sports performance. Secondary outcome measures are strength, mobility, flexibility and functional performance.
The HeartHab study is a pilot trial in which coronary artery disease patients (n = 15-30) are given the HeartHab application. The HeartHab application is a smarthphone based mobile application that serves as a secondary prevention tool, to support cardiac patients after their phase II cardiac rehabilitation program. During study period (4-6 weeks), participating patients will be asked to use the application. HeartHab includes a module devoted to therapy compliance, one to exercise training prescription and one to risk factor control. HeartHab aims to motivate the patient to improve his/her self-management skills and hence decrease cardiovascular morbidity (and mortality). Motivational aspects and usability data will be collected during study period by means of app logs and/or questionnaires/interviews.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Adults might be able to join this study after bone marrow tests show they have a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML). Participants will have an equal chance of receiving quizartinib or placebo along with their chemotherapy.
Studying in a RCT the changes in everyday llife activities of children with CP during HABIT-ILE or control period, changes being scored by parents and by experts.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with glioblastoma that is MGMT-methylated (the MGMT gene is altered by a chemical change). Patients will receive temozolomide plus radiation therapy. They will be compared to patients receiving nivolumab in addition to temozolomide plus radiation therapy.
This open-label, two-part study is designed to assess the safety, PK, PD, and therapeutic activity of Selicrelumab in combination with vanucizumab or bevacizumab in participants with metastatic solid tumors not amenable to standard treatment. Part I (dose escalation) is designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Selicrelumab in this combination. Part II (expansion) is intended to characterize the safety and tolerability of Selicrelumab in combination with bevacizumab among indication-specific cohorts and to confirm the recommended dose.
The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in a geriatric hospital ward. Sarcopenia is defined by a loss of muscle mass, loss of muscle strength and loss of muscle quality. It is a geriatric syndrome that, to this date, is not systematically tracked in clinical practice. In order to detect sarcopenia, the investigators will use the operational definition proposed by the European Working Group (EWGSOP) involving the measure of three parameters, namely the speed of walking, the muscle strength and the measurement of the muscular mass.
A RCT (randomized controlled trial) comparing 3 different TKA (total knee arthroplasty) implant designs and investigating the relation between patient satisfaction and the implant geometry.
The multicenter registry will collect clinical data from 1600 patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and chronic kidney disease (eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2). The overall objective of this registry is to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and clinical outcomes with regard to anticoagulation strategies in NVAF patients with eGFR 15-49 mL/min per 1.73 m2 in routine clinical practice.
