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.
In stage 3 Osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head, a beneficial effect of bone marrow grafting was reported with a reduction of the functional evolution and the necessity of a total prosthesis placement in a non-controlled retrospective trial. Based on this experience, the investigators would like to start a randomized controlled double blind study on the effect of autologous implantation of autologous bone marrow cells into the necrotic lesion of stage 3 ON of the femoral head.
This was an extension study of secukinumab prefilled syringes in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis completing preceding psoriasis phase III studies with secukinumab. Subjects on secukinumab at the end of treatment period in phase III studies (e.g., ongoing CAIN457A2302 and CAIN457A2303 and potentially other secukinumab phase III studies) were eligible to join this extension study. This extension study was planned to collect an additional 2 years of long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability data of secukinumab in either continuous or interrupted therapy (randomized withdrawal period) in subjects showing at least partial response to secukinumab and completing treatment period on secukinumab in previous phase III studies. In this extension study, the prefilled syringe (PFS) liquid formulation of secukinumab were used.
The use of mesh in the repair of umbilical hernias is a gold standard. The best location of the mesh remains a matter of discussion, i.e. it might be placed inside the peritoneal cavity (open intraperitoneal onlay mesh) or between the peritoneum and the muscle layers, so not in contact with the viscera (retromuscular or preperitoneal). The Rebound mesh consists of polypropylene, i.e. the most used fabric for meshes, in combination with a nitinol memory ring. This ring allows the surgeon to position the mesh more flat, with less wrinkling and subsequently better tissue ingrowth. It also saves time for both patient's anesthesia and the surgery. This type of mesh (one coated with PTFE for intra-abdominal use and one pure polypropylene for preperitoneal use), will be used in this multicentric trial, to evaluate the best procedure in terms of efficacy, safety and postoperative complications.
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose finding, Phase Ib dose escalation study to estimate the MTD(s) and/or RP2D(s) for the dual combination of LGX818 and MEK162 and the triple combination of LGX818 and MEK162 and LEE011, followed each independently by a Phase II part to assess the clinical efficacy and to further assess the safety of the combinations in selected patient populations. Oral LGX818 and MEK162 will be administered on a continuous schedule. Oral LEE011 will be administered once daily on a three weeks on, one week off schedule. Patients will be treated until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity develops, or withdrawal of informed consent, whichever occurs first. A cycle is defined as 28 days. The dose escalation parts of the trial will be conducted in adult patients with BRAF V600-dependent advanced solid tumors and is expected to enroll at least 18 patients for the dual combination and at least 12 patients for the triple combination. The dose escalation will be guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM). Following MTD/RP2D declaration, patients will be enrolled in three Phase II arms for the dual combination and one Phase II arm for the triple combination. All patients will be followed for 30 days for safety assessments after study drugs discontinuation. All patients enrolled in the Phase II part of the study will be followed for survival.
This prospective, multi-center, observational study will assess the efficacy and safety of treatment in patients who are treated with a TNF Inhibitor or RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) as the first biologic therapy. Data will be collected for 52 weeks.
The purpose of this of this study is to compare the use of Self Expanding Metal Stents (SEMS) to plastic stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures secondary to chronic pancreatitis as it pertains to stricture resolution rates, complication rates and number of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures during 24 months. Statistical testing will be performed to determine if the rate of stricture resolution for the metal stent is non-inferior to the plastic stent group.
The Study objective is to assess the performance of the Vessix V2 Renal Denervation System for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension using an innovative percutaneous Radio Frequency (RF) balloon catheter renal denervation device.
This study aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate in the initial treatment of acute mania in patients with bipolar affective disorders.
The current multicentre phase III study is proposed to confirm in an add-on therapy design compared to a placebo-control group, the efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells (eASCs) from healthy donors for the treatment of complex anal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease over a 24-week period and an extended follow-up period up to 104 weeks.
This observational (non-interventional) study is being conducted to characterize the safety and use of CINRYZE in routine clinical practice when administered for (1) routine prevention of angioedema attacks, (2) pre-procedure prevention of angioedema attacks, and/or (3) treatment of angioedema attacks.
