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.
- Approximately 60 patients suffering from moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG1205 or matching placebo once daily for 12 weeks in addition to their stable background treatment. - During the course of the study, patients will also be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG1205 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG1205 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters (Pharmacodynamics) in blood, stool and colonic biopsies will be determined.
This is a Phase 2b, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study of selinexor 80 mg plus dexamethasone 20 mg (Sd) dosed twice weekly in four-week cycles, in patients with penta-refractory MM (Parts 1 and 2) or quad refractory MM (Part 1 only).
This was a phase II, multi-center, open-label, five-arm study in which the efficacy and safety of oral ceritinib treatment was assessed in patients with NSCLC metastatic to the brain and/or to leptomeninges harboring a confirmed ALK rearrangement, using the FDA approved Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH Probe Kit (Abbott Molecular Inc.) test and scoring algorithm (including positivity criteria). If documentation of ALK rearrangement as described above was not locally available, a test to confirm ALK rearrangement was performed by a Novartis designated central laboratory. Patients waited for the central laboratory result of the ALK rearrangement status before initiating treatment with ceritinib.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are often used in the standard treatment for patients with metastasized renal cell carcinoma. In addition to their ability to specifically inhibit tumor growth, TKIs also interfere with the vascularisation of the tumor. Unfortunately, most patients do not obtain long-lasting clinical benefit from this treatment. The goal of the current study is to enhance the effect of TKIs by combining them with stereotactic radiotherapy treatment of one of the metastases. This type of radiotherapy allows us to precisely irradiate the tumor with minimal effect on the surrounding healthy tissue. Recently it has been demonstrated that this type of radiotherapy stimulates the immune system to attack the tumor. By combining stereotactic radiotherapy with TKIs we expect to observe a reduction of metastases in a bigger population of patients. In the first part of our study we focus on the safety of the combination therapy. In the second part we will evaluate the combined treatment response.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of repeat dosing with multiple dose levels of bimagrumab on patient physical function, skeletal muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia. In addition, this study generated data on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of bimagrumab in older adults with sarcopenia.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of andexanet alfa (andexanet) in participants receiving a factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, enoxaparin) who were experiencing an acute major bleed. The safety of andexanet was also studied.
This research project aims to study this intriguing relationship between ageing and breast cancer biology, and more specifically the changes that occur within the tumor microenvironment with increasing age. Furthermore, it will focus on the link between these microenvironmental changes and organismal ageing (as measured by chronological age, geriatric evaluation of elderly patients, and circulating biomarkers of ageing), since it seems logical that age-related changes in the stromal part of a tumor (fibroblasts, immune cells, endothelial cells, fatty cells, …i.e. host cells) are due to the ageing process of the entire body. Most particularly, the amount and type of infiltrating immune cells might reflect the degree of immunosenescence of the host. More and more research points out the crucial role of the immune system in tumorigenesis and progression, and, at the same time, the immune system is one of the most affected components in the process of ageing. .
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of the pre-filled pen and pre-filled syringe of SB5 in healthy subjects.
The purpose of this First-in-Human study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability after single ascending oral doses of GLPG1837 given to healthy subjects, compared to placebo. Also, the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral doses of GLPG1837 given to healthy subjects daily for 14 days compared to placebo, will be evaluated. Furthermore, during the course of the study after single and multiple oral dose administrations, the amount of GLPG1837 and its metabolite present in the blood and urine (pharmacokinetics) will be characterized. The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of GLPG1837 and its metabolite will also be evaluated. The potential of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 induction after repeated dosing with GLPG1837 will be explored as well.
The DES-OSA Score and the STOP-BANG score were predictive scores for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This study will compare, among patients scheduled for bariatric surgery, these two scores as predictive scores for a difficult intubation.
