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 evaluate the effectiveness of Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) performed with the Arctic Front™ Advance Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter System as first-line therapy in comparison with antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
The main goal of this study is to improve the outcome of children and adolescents with standard risk (SR) first relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Furthermore, goal is to set up a large international study group platform allowing for optimization of standard treatment strategies and integration of new agents.
The purpose of this study is to determine the intra- and interobserver agreement.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to further assess the performance and safety profile of the commercially-available Portico™ TAVI System in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
This study is a randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint, parallel-group, active-control, multi-center, proof-of-concept study in subjects with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), designed to assess the safety and potential efficacy of adding edoxaban to aspirin following femoropopliteal endovascular intervention, with or without stent placement, relative to current treatment practice with clopidogrel and aspirin.
Ocular blood flow has been consistently demonstrated to be altered in glaucoma patients when compared to otherwise healthy individuals. Numerous Doppler studies have shown a decrease in flow velocities in the retrobulbar arteries in what appears to be related to the degree of the glaucomatous disease. The anatomic pathway of the several arteries into the eye is intricately complicate, with at least one of them (the central retina artery) penetrating the optic nerve before entering the eye and supplying the innermost structures of the globe. As the optic nerve is surrounded by a layer of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which is in continuity with the rest of the central nervous system, this central retinal artery has also to cross this CSF containing compartment. Because of the intrinsic pressure this CSF - corresponding to the intracranial pressure at the orbital level - the possibility exists that this pressure around the optic disc could affect the blood flow of the arteries that go through it. The investigators will try to detect if a correlation exists between the optic nerve sheath diameter and the blood flow in the retrobulbar vessels of glaucoma patients.
To evaluate the effect of an intensive enteral nutrition (compared to clinical routine) in association with corticosteroïds in patients with severe acute alcoholic hepatitis.
This open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of alectinib in participants with non-small cell lung cancer who have ALK mutation and failed crizotinib treatment. In Part 1, cohorts of participants will receive escalating doses of alectinib orally twice daily. In Part 2, participants will receive the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of alectinib as determined in Part 1. Treatment will continue in Part 1 and Part 2 on the same dose until disease progression. In Part 3, following disease progression, participants without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation will be offered continued treatment with alectinib, participants with EGFR mutations will be offered a combination of alectinib and erlotinib.
This study is a non interventional study where no investigational medicine is provided. Procedures and examination will follow the institution standard of care practice. The therapeutic approach will not be decided in advance by the protocol or influenced in any way by the protocol. After standard evaluation the investigator will decide the treatment strategy and upon eligibility criteria met will propose subject to participate to the study. Informed consent will be collected for all subjects. The study will consist of 3 possible observational visits; V1 (enrolment), V2 and V3 (follow up). During all observational visits (V1, V2 and V3) the patient will complete the I-PSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) questionnaire including Quality Of Life (QOL) questionnaire and a Patient assessment of treatment benefit and satisfaction using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The patient will be asked to complete a voiding diary the first 3 days after Visit 1 (Baseline diary), 3 days before Visit 2 and again 3 days before Visit 3. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) measurement- Uroflowmetry - Post Voiding Residual volume and Trans Rectal Ultra Sound data will be collected only if available. During all observational visits (V1, V2 and V3) the investigator will complete the assessment of treatment benefit and satisfaction using a VAS.
Stress hyperglycemia occurs in 50-85% of patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit (MICU) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, randomized controlled trials examining the effects of strict glycemic control demonstrated conflicting results. A common finding in these trials was the high risk of hypoglycaemia. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) on glycemic control and risk of hypoglycemia in severely ill MICU patients with an APACHE-II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) score ≥20.
