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 purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history and clinical management of Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) patients with recurring attacks.
The study is designed to compare the effects of 4 different doses of orally administered BI 409306 to placebo in patients with Alzheimers Disease
To investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of linagliptin 5 milligrams once a day compared to placebo as as add-on therapy for 24 weeks to stable basal insulin treatment in elderly patients, 60 years of age and older, with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and insufficient glycaemic control.Stable background therapy of metformin and/or alpha-glucosidase inhibitors is also allowed. In addition, this trial will assess if linagliptin reduces the risk of hypoglycaemia when added to background basal insulin therapy. The treatment duration of this trial (24 weeks) will enable assessment of the clinically relevant endpoint of a decrease in glycosylated Haemoglobin, a well-accepted measurement of chronic glycaemic control.
Almost 1% of all baby's is born with a heart defect (CHD) and most of them survive. Even though outcomes are good, they need lifelong follow-up because of a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that patients with CHD are not active enough and that a substantial amount of patients is overweight. Hence preventive strategies and education should not only focus on the heart problem, but also on a healthy lifestyle including physical activity. Recently a new guideline introduced exercise prescription based on the absence/presence of certain key elements. However, a number of important questions remain that preclude implementation in clinical practice. Therefore a 'Start-to-Sport' program for adults with CHD, based on this new guideline, will be investigated. This study is a randomized controlled trial that investigates the effects of the program on daily physical activity, exercise capacity, quality of life and exercise self-efficacy both in short (12 weeks) and long (52 weeks) term, along with possible mechanisms for the training effects by using a new exercise-testing protocol that looks simultaneously to all body parts that are involved during exercise. Ultimately, our findings will result in the implementation of the guideline in clinical practice.
This trial will enroll approximately 6,000 patients with recent embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS). Patients will be randomized to dabigatran or acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) (1:1 ratio) and have visits every three months. The study doctor may prescribe blinded concomitant ASA for pts with coronary artery disease but this is not mandatory. All Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), outcome events will be recorded. The trial will conclude when the required number of stroke events are positively adjudicated which is estimated to take 3 years (including 2.5 years of enrollment).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of Fully Covered biliary SEMS to Uncovered biliary SEMS in biliary drainage for the pre-operative management of biliary obstructive symptoms caused by pancreatic cancer in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
Prospective, multi-center, randomized 1:1, single blind trial using BuMA Supreme versus Resolute Integrity conducted in approximately 14 interventional cardiology centers in The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, 9 and 12 months post-stent implantation. All patients will undergo repeat angiography at 9 months follow-up. QCA assessment will be performed at baseline (pre- and post-procedure) and at 9 months follow-up.
The purpose of this registry is to document the characteristics and management of patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in routine clinical practice, independent of treatment used. Given the rapidly evolving landscape in mCRPC treatments, there is a need for a current and improved understanding of how these treatments fit into the current treatment paradigm for mCRPC, how they are combined and sequenced, and how their relative effectiveness profiles emerge outside of a clinical trial setting. This will be based on documentation and description of sequencing of treatment initiation, termination, and duration; relative effectiveness of treatments; defined medical resource utilization (MRU) and quality-of-life parameters and follow-up for survival.
This study aims to determine whether the Arabin cervical pessary prevents preterm birth in women with a twin pregnancy and a short cervix.
To evaluate the effect of a rollator on 6 Minute Walking Test (6MWT) in elderly people.
