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.
PF-06678552 is a new compound proposed for the treatment of hypercholesteremia. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of PF-06678552 in healthy subjects.
Stroke is the principal cause of permanent disability within the investigators population. This incapacity justifies an intensive and prolonged multidisciplinary rehabilitation, which can be optimized by robotics. The investigators team has developed a robot designed to rehabilitate the upper limb. This robot allows the patient to perform active, passive, or assisted exercises. The system is also able to assess movement quality and to provide a feedback to the patient and the therapist via a graphical interface. This therapy is designed to improve functional recovery of patients, and then their quality of life. Few quality studies have evaluated the efficacy of robotic assisted therapy in patients at the acute stage of rehabilitation (< 3 months post stroke) when most improvements are observed. Thus, the aim of this study was to objectify the effectiveness of robotic-assisted rehabilitation in the acute stage after stroke by evaluating the 3 fields of the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) and performing a prospective multicenter randomized controlled single blind trial. In this study, 60 stroke patients will be recruited and randomized into two groups. All patients will receive a similar classical rehabilitation as a basis. Patients of the control and experimental groups will receive a supplement of classical rehabilitation and robotic-assisted therapy, respectively.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of 800 mg Chondroitin 4&6 sulfate (Condrosulf) vs placebo once a day for 6 months in the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis. A third group, Celecoxib 200 mg (Celebrex) once a day, will be used as active comparator.
Research aimed to find a correlation with an invos drop and cardiac events in the peri-operative period of non cardiac surgery. The investigators postulate that a drop in the Invos numbers (with or without significant drop in BP) is associated with a variable degree of cardiac suffering. The idea is to prevent per and foremostpost-operative myocardial necrosis complications by acting as soon as we have an INVOS drop during anesthesia. The "cardiac events" will be monitored and defined according to the EHA (european heart association) guidelines. (Changes of the EKG and/or troponin I values above the threshold). Patient will be monitored per and post operatively.
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of idalopirdine (Lu AE58054) as adjunctive therapy to donepezil in patients with mild-moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
Background: High intensity training of challenging tasks with many repetitions is a key factor for regaining motor function after stroke. Novel virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation systems provide the potential to increase intensity and offer challenging and motivating tasks. The efficacy of VR systems has not been demonstrated yet in sufficiently powered studies. Methods: In 5 participating rehabilitation centers patients in the subacute phase after stroke will be randomized to either a group receiving 4 weeks of VR training in addition to conventional arm training or a group receiving dose-matched and therapist attention-matched conventional arm-training. Hypothesis: VR training is more effective in improving arm motor function than conventional arm training in the subacute phase after stroke.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of a 10-week walking program, based on the self-determination theory, in people with mental disorders. The investigators expect positive effects on: - Physical fitness - Physical activity - Well-being (less feelings of anxiety, less feelings of depression) The investigators also expect underlying psychosocial processes to influence these effects.
Aim of the clinical multicenter study (OptimEx-CLIN) is to assess the optimal exercise intervention in patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF; also termed diastolic heart failure) that will best improve peak oxygen uptake (Peak Vo2) and additionally diastolic function (assessed echocardiographically). The investigators hypothesize that exercise training reverses HFpEF and that intensity of exercise training is more important than duration.
The purpose of the study is to document the natural history of hemophilia A disease and long-term outcomes in terms of effectiveness, safety and quality of life in participants receiving Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) - Plasma/Albumin Free Method (rAHF-PFM) or Antihemophilic Factor (Recombinant) - Pegylated (rAHF-PEG) in routine clinical practice
This Phase 1b/2 study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not eligible for transplant.
