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.
Children with profound sensorineural unilateral hearing loss (UHL) lag behind in spoken language, cognition, spatial hearing, and academic performance compared to normal hearing (NH) children. Until recently children with UHL were not remediated, thereby assuming that the normal ear would provide sufficient sensory cues for speech understanding. However, this is not true. Because of the difference between the two ears they have difficulty localizing sounds and understanding speech in noise. Such auditory deprivation leads to more global changes in neurocognitive function. It is expected that a cochlear implant in the deaf ear will provide the necessary cues for hearing with two ears. The main objective of this research project is to fundamentally investigate language, cognitive, and spatial/binaural hearing longitudinally in children with unilateral deafness who receive a cochlear implant and age-matched peers.
Prospective multicentric observational trial on caregiver burden, caregiver satisfaction and clinical outcome in spinal cord stimulation for chronic neuropathic pain.
This is a two-part (Phase 2/Phase 3) study of MK-5475, an inhaled soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, in participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The first part (Phase 2) will assess three different doses of MK-5475 compared to placebo in a base period of 12 weeks, followed by comparison of three different doses of MK-5475 during an optional 24 month extension period. The treatment dose with the best efficacy and safety profile in the phase 2 cohort base period will be selected for use in the second part (Phase 3) of the study. The primary hypothesis of Phase 2 is that at least one MK-5475 dose is superior to placebo in reducing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) from baseline at week 12. The purpose of the second part (Phase 3) of the study is to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MK-5475 at the selected dose compared to placebo during a 12 week base period followed by an extension period of up to 5 years. The primary hypothesis of Phase 3 is that MK-5475 is superior to placebo in increasing 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline at week 12.
This study is designed to assess whether the investigational drug maralixibat, is safe and well tolerated in children <12 months of age with Alagille Syndrome [ALGS] or Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis [PFIC].
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of alpelisib and olaparib compared with single agent cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with platinum resistant or refractory high-grade serous ovarian cancer, with no germline BRCA mutation detected.
The main purpose of this study is to compare pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation (MK-7684A) plus docetaxel or pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation to normal saline placebo plus docetaxel. Participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and progressive disease (PD) after platinum doublet chemotherapy and treatment with one prior anti- programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) monoclonal antibody (mAb). MK-7684A is a coformulation product of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. The dual primary hypotheses of the study are pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation plus docetaxel and pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation is superior to normal saline placebo plus docetaxel with respect to progression free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
The goal is to evaluate the outcomes and learning curve of a robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty device with automatic ligament balancing.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of teclistamab when administered in different combination regimen and to identify the optimal dose(s) of teclistamab combination regimens.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with Standard of Care, versus Standard of Care alone, in adult male patients with mHSPC. In this study, the SoC is defined as a combination of Androgen Receptor Directed Therapy + Androgen Deprivation Therapy. Approximately 1126 patients will be randomized in this study. As of 31-Jan-2024, 1144 participants have been enrolled in 20 countries.
