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.
Assessment of safety and feasibility of using a nasopharyngeal cooling technique to provide targeted brain cooling during percutaneous implantation of aortic valves. Was it possible to obtain brain temperatures below 34° within a reasonable time interval (max of 1hr) without delaying the procedure of valve implantation.
ABSORB FIRST is a prospective, multi-center registry. The objectives of the study are to: - Provide ongoing post-market surveillance for documentation of safety, performance and clinical outcomes of the Absorb BVS (Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold) System in daily PCI practice per Instructions for Use (IFU, on-label use). - To evaluate the safety and performance of 12 mm or shorter Absorb BVS in single or overlapping use (bailout, optimization of long lesion treatment) for the treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo native coronary artery lesion(s) - Collect additional information (e.g. acute success) to evaluate handling and implantation of Absorb BVS by physicians under a wide range of commercial use conditions and following routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the pharmacodynamic effects of multiple doses of AVX-470 administered orally in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
The endotracheal tube secures free airway in patients undergoing surgical procedures or mechanical ventilation. The extraluminal airway needs to be sealed by a cuff. The cuff needs to be adequately inflated with air. The cuff pressure should be between 20 and 30 cm H2O. A cuff pressure in excess of the target range is associated with a risk of tracheal injury, whereas a cuff pressure below the lower limit includes a risk of micro-aspiration of subglottic secretions, with risk of subsequent ventilator-associated pneumonia. It is unknown whether the cuff pressure changes following changes in body position of the patient. The objective of this study is to investigate to which extent - if any - cuff pressures change after body position changes of the patient.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the bioavailability of acetate, propionate and butyrate in healthy humans using a stable isotope technology. In addition the level of acetate, propionate and butyrate production from inulin will be determined using the principle of isotope dilution.
Purpose of this study is to test whether xenon application during off-pump-coronary artery bypass (OPCAB)-surgery is safe and feasible.
The purpose of this study is to validate a strategy of identification of patients for early liver transplantation in severe alcoholic hepatitis. In this setting, short-term survival is very low (approx. 25% at 6 months) and a pilot study has suggested (mathurin et al. N Engl J Med 2011) that liver transplantation may be an option in very carefully selected patients who did not respond to medical treatment. This selection process deserves to be confirmed in a population of greater size. We hypothesized that patients selected with this process would have a same alcohol relapse rate after liver transplantation than patients transplanted for alcoholic cirrhosis and selected using a 6-month sobriety period
The RENABLATE feasibility study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized feasibility study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational multi-electrode ablation catheter and integrated ablation system to treat resistant hypertension.
The purpose of this study is to determine if tivantinib (ARQ 197) is effective in treating patients with MET diagnostic-high hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) who have already been treated once with another therapy.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the Medtronic CapSureFix Novus Model 5076 lead when patients are implanted with the Medtronic Advisa MRI pacemaker and undergo an MRI scan.
