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.
Whole breast irradiation (WBI) after breast conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer halves the recurrence risk and reduces the breast cancer death by about one sixth. A sequential boost (SeqB) dose to the tumour bed further improves local control, but also increases the risk of late skin toxicity and cosmetic changes. At Ghent University Hospital WBI is prescribed in 15 fractions of 2.67 Gy according to the START-B hypofractionation scheme. A sequential boost is typically given in 4 to 8 extra fractions which prolongs the overall treatment time. The boost dose can also be delivered within the 15 fractions of WBI, the so-called simultaneous integrated boost (SIB). SIB shortens the overall treatment time which is convenient for the patient and the radiotherapy department. In this study we wish to test the hypothesis of acceptable skin toxicity and reduced cost with SIB using hypofractionated prone intensity modulation radiotherapy IMRT with topographical dose painting, a technique recently developed in our group. Patients are randomized between SeqB and SIB.
This study has two primary objectives: 1. To compare combination therapy with acetazolamide and low-dose loop diuretics versus high-dose loop diuretics (standard of care) in patients with acute decompensated heart failure at high risk for diuretic resistance. 2. To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of upfront therapy with spironolactone in addition to loop diuretic therapy in patients with acute decompensated heart failure at high risk for diuretic resistance.
This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of a single dose of long-acting growth hormone (NNC0195-0092, somapacitan) compared to daily dosing of Norditropin® SimpleXx® (somatropin) in children with growth hormone deficiency.
The purpose of this study was to examine how well two medicines (solifenacin succinate and mirabegron) combined work compared to each medicine alone in the treatment of bladder problems.
This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study using avatrombopag to treat adults with thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease. The study will evaluate avatrombopag in the treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease prior to an elective procedure to reduce the need for platelet transfusions or any rescue procedure for bleeding due to procedural and post-procedural bleeding complications. Participants will be enrolled into 2 cohorts according to mean baseline platelet count and, within each baseline platelet count cohort will be further stratified by risk of bleeding associated with the elective procedure (low, moderate, or high) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status (Yes or No).
The WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology is designed to prevent embolization of thrombi that may form in the LAA, thereby preventing the occurrence of ischemic stroke and systemic thromboembolism. The objectives of this observational, prospective, non-randomized multicenter study are (1) to compile real-world clinical outcomes data for WATCHMAN LAA (left atrial appendage) Close Technology in patients who are implanted with the WATCHMAN device in a commercial clinical setting and (2) to collect real-world usage data that may be needed for reimbursement of WATCHMAN technology in certain countries.
This is a 2-part study in patients with metastatic CRPC. Part A is an open-label safety run-in study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of olaparib when given in addition to abiraterone 1000 mg once daily. Part B is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled comparison of the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the dose of olaparib selected from Part A when given in addition to abiraterone, versus placebo given in addition to abiraterone. Abiraterone is indicated in combination with prednisone or prednisolone for the treatment of patients with metastatic CRPC. Prednisone or prednisolone 5 mg twice daily (bid) will be administered with the abiraterone in this study.
The present trial will be performed according to an open design to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) by evaluation of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of volasertib in paediatric leukaemia and solid tumours in the age group 2 to less than 12 and 12 to less than 18 years. A further objective is to collect data on safety, tolerability, toxicity, efficacy (preliminary activity), pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of volasertib in paediatric cancer patients
Phase 1 and 2 trial to study the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, patient reported outcomes and efficacy of PF-06463922 in ALK + advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients and ROS1+ advanced non small cell lung cancer patients .
This observational safety follow-up study enrolled subjects from the 802-247-09-032 study with the investigational product HP802-247 for venous leg ulcers, who received at least one application of HP802-247 or Vehicle (Placebo). This study is being done for the following purposes: 1. to identify new adverse events, 2. to examine ongoing adverse events not resolved in subjects who participated in the 802-247-09-032 trial, 3. to record wound status, and 4. to determine if there are differences in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) associated with the treatment assignment from the 802-247-09-032 Trial. About 440 subjects were to participate depending upon subject enrollment from the previous study, 802-247-09-032. The study was conducted in approximately 50 sites in Europe.
