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 study is to conduct an outcome and process evaluation of the REWARD intervention, a serious game intervention using reward-based strategies as a main method to trigger healthy snacking in Flemish adolescents.
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from one of the most devastating diseases in childhood resulting in a lifelong need for health care, and a 3 times decreased life expectancy. In addition, they have important comorbidities that negatively impact on their quality of life and integration in society, jeopardizing their future even after a potential transplantation. Retention of uraemic toxins is accepted to play a major role in the pathogenesis of the comorbid conditions, but studies in children are lacking. Furthermore, there are currently no good tools to evaluate severity and monitor adequacy of treatment, resulting in suboptimal management. The overall scientific objective of this four years UToPaed IWT-TBM project is to provide the clinician with new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for the management of children with CKD, based on the improved understanding of uraemic toxicity. In the first part of UToPaed, the investigators will associate concentrations of a wide variety of uraemic toxins with different comorbidities in CKD children. In this second part, a kinetic analysis will be performed to unravel the distribution and transport of the different studied uraemic toxins in the body of the patient. The toxins of which concentrations are best correlated with comorbidities during the progress of CKD (UToPaed - part 1: observational study) and have representative kinetics will be selected as markers. These markers will be, together with the comorbidities, further tracked after interventions, i.e. starting on dialysis, transplantation, changes in dialysis strategy (UToPaed - part 3 - intervention study) in order to validate the different kinetic models. From the validated kinetic models (UToPaed - part 2 and 3), an open access user-friendly prediction simulator (PAEDSIM) based on patient characteristics and marker concentrations will be developed to optimise and individualise the dialysis therapy. By providing clinicians with more advanced and appropriate tools to improve management of all children with CKD, i.e. better assessment of the degree of renal dysfunction, better determination of the ideal time to start renal replacement therapy, and more accurate monitoring of dialysis adequacy, the investigators aim to improve neurocognitive and psychosocial functioning (short term), growth, maturation into puberty, and social integration (median term) and survival (long term).
The RELAX-OAB (Treatment of REfractory Overactive BLadder with the AXonics Sacral Neuromodulation System) is a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study designed to confirm the performance of the Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) System as an aid in the treatment of the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) as well as capturing patient satisfaction and quality of life data.
The study evaluates the effect on gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) of infants sitting in a stable upright position during 20 min. This is an addendum to the previous study with record number clinical trials.gov NCT02124863
This was a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study in 129 subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis with a PASI score of at least 10. Following run-in, subjects were randomized and received either oral 30 mg ZPL-3893787 once daily or placebo once daily for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with glioblastoma that is MGMT-unmethylated (the MGMT gene is not altered by a chemical change). Patients will receive Nivolumab every two weeks in addition to radiation therapy, and then every four weeks. They will be compared to patients receiving standard therapy with temozolomide in addition to radiation therapy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/ tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) relative to unchanged current antiretroviral therapy (ART) by assessing spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) measured at Week 48 in virologically-suppressed, HIV-1 infected participants aged ≥ 60 years.
The proposed Phase IIb clinical study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of the active immunotherapy IMP321 in combination (adjunctive) with paclitaxel chemotherapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.
This study is being done to see if tucatinib works better than placebo to help patients who have a specific type of breast cancer called HER2 positive breast carcinoma. The breast cancer in this study is either metastatic (spread into other parts of the body) or cannot be removed completely with surgery. All patients in the study will get capecitabine and trastuzumab, two drugs that are often used to treat this cancer. There are two parts to this study. The first part of the study is already complete. Patients were randomly assigned to get either tucatinib or placebo (a pill with no medicine). Since this part was "blinded," neither patients nor their doctors knew whether a patient got tucatinib or placebo. The second part of the study is called the Unblinded Phase. In this part of the study, participants and their doctors know which drugs are being given. Participants who used to get or are currently getting placebo may be able to start taking tucatinib instead. Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. Patients will swallow tucatinib pills two times every day. They will swallow capecitabine pills two times a day during the first two weeks of each cycle. Patients will get trastuzumab injections from the study site staff on the first day of every cycle.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the longer term safety of the study drug known as galcanezumab in participants with episodic or chronic migraine.
