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 compare blood sugar control on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of nocturnal low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the number of participants on LY2605541 reaching blood sugar targets without low blood sugar episodes at night to those taking insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment. - To compare the rate of low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment
Background: There is a hypothesis in literature that the mechanical action of deep transverse friction massage (DTF) produces vasodilatation and increases blood flow. But as yet, no experimental study has confirmed the effect of DTF on blood flow in the Achilles tendon. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether one session of DTF can influence the Achilles tendon blood flow. Design: a randomized pre- posttest trial was set up. Patients: Sixty-two healthy participants volunteered. Each person underwent the following four steps of the procedure: 1. Measuring the tendon blood flow (PRE), 2.fifteen minutes of DTF on the Achilles tendon, 3. Measuring of the tendon blood flow (POST), 4.follow - up measurement after 20 minutes of rest (POST20). Intervention: one leg of each person was randomly assigned to deep transverse friction session, the other leg was used as a control leg. Friction was applied continuously for a total of 15 minutes. Measurements: the microcirculation was determined at 2 and 8 tissue depths at the distal and the proximal midportion of the Achilles tendon. For each level, the capillary blood flow, the tissue oxygen saturation, and the postcapillary venous filling pressure was registered.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of two dosage levels (10mg and 20mg) of TZP-102 compared to placebo (capsule that looks like the study drug but contains no active drug), administered once-daily for 12 weeks, in diabetic subjects with symptoms associated with gastroparesis.
Muscular compartment syndrome (MCS) is consecutive to an increase in intramuscular compartment pressures, and is a rare but serious postoperative complication. The INVOS (In Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) monitors tissular oxygenation continuously and non-invasively. The objective is to develop a model mimicking the physiopathology of MCS to assess the interest of the INVOS in this case.
Because an endobronchial valve is a one-way inspiratory airway blocker, it is hypothesized that it could be also used for controlling persistent air leaks while maintaining the drainage of secretions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved in October 2008 the Spiration valve system designed to control air leaks in the lung that persist after lung surgery. This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Spiration endobronchial valves in a prospective series of consecutive patients with a prolonged persistent air leak after anatomic surgical resection for cancer.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Ipilimumab to Etoposide and Platinum therapy will extend the lives of patients with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) more than Etoposide and Platinum therapy alone.
This Phase I/IIa Proof-of-Concept (PoC) trial is designed to assess the effect of adding a single and repeated low dose (15mg/d) of pipamperone (PIP) for 6 weeks to stable treatment with an effective dose of risperidone (RIS) or paliperidone (PAL) on functional MRI tests and clinical outcome of chronic schizophrenic patients with residual, so-called 'positive' symptoms, as well as on cognition, motivation, subjective well-being of patients, negative symptoms, general psychopathological symptoms and safety/tolerability.
To evaluate the dialysability of Dotarem®, after an IV injection of 0.1 mmol/kg in patients with chronic renal failure who require hemodialysis treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg monotherapy with a triple combination therapy containing darunavir/ritonavir 800/100 mg and 2 nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (N[t]RTIs) in approximately 260 Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infected patients who have been on Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) medication and have a plasma Viral Load below 50 copies/mL for at least 48 weeks. Also the changes in neurocognitive function will be compared throughout the study.
This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa (e.g. Pegasys) plus ribavirin and treatment regimens containing direct-acting antivirals in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced and HIV HCV co-infected. Data will be collected from patients receiving treatment according to current Summary of Product Characteristics and local labeling for the duration of their treatment and a 24-week follow-up.
