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.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to NSAIDs, DMARDs and / or TNFα inhibitor therapy.
This is a study of allopurinol in gout patients with hyperuricemia that will evaluate the safety and serum urate (sUA) lowering capability of allopurinol as a urate lowering therapy (ULT) for up to six months. Allopurinol will be dosed according to the local product label, at the discretion of the Investigator, to achieve an optimal, medically appropriate dose for each patient.
Retinal ischemia is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Up until today, very little is known about the metabolic alterations in the retina of glaucoma patients, since only techniques for surrogate measurements of metabolism (like blood flow velocities and vessel diameter) were available. Oximetry has provided us with an important tool to study metabolism in glaucoma, and to correlate these findings with the available blood flow evaluation techniques. Preliminary results by the group of Prof Stefánsson (2011) with the dual wavelength oximeter pointed out that deeper glaucomatous visual field defects are associated with decreased arteriovenous differences in retinal oxygen saturation. These data suggest that a change in oxygen metabolism occurs in glaucomatous retina. This reduced oxygen metabolism may be related to tissue atrophy. However, this explanation is still hypothetical, since the relation between these oximetry results and structural changes in the optic nerve have not been studied yet. 1. What are the oximetry values in a normal population of within the same age group as the glaucoma population? To answer this question, a normative database of the investigators retinal oximetry device needs to be constructed for healthy controls. 2. Do glaucoma patients have different retinal oximetry values than these normal patients? Are there any differences in retinal oxygenation between these glaucoma groups? To answer these questions, oximetry measurements will be performed in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). 3. Is there an association between structural optic disc and retinal nerve fibre layer changes, using Heidelberg Retinal Tomography (HRT), with alterations in retinal vascular oxygen saturation in NTG and POAG patients? 4. Are blood flow measurements, using colour Doppler imaging (CDI), correlated with alteration in retinal vascular oxygen in NTG and POAG patients?
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab when added to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ as compared to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ alone in paediatric participants with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) Grade III or IV localized supratentorial or infratentorial cerebellar or peduncular high grade glioma (HGG). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. Upon approval by the Health Authorities/Ethics Committees in the participating countries, an additional young participant cohort (YPC) (children >/= 6 months and < 3 years of age with progressive or relapsed metastatic or localized, supra- or infratentorial, non-brain stem WHO Grade III or IV HGG) was included in the study. Children in the YPC will receive bevacizumab and TMZ without radiation therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is over 1 year.
Study A0081041 is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of pregabalin administered in equally divided daily doses, in either capsule or oral liquid formulation, as adjunctive therapy in pediatric subjects 4 to 16 years of age with partial onset seizures.
The purpose of this study is to monitor adverse events in HIV-infected children <18 years old who are exposed to Atazanavir in a real-world setting in Europe.
Rabies is a viral zoonosis that causes an encephalitis, almost invariably fatal. It is widely distributed across the globe: the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 2,4 billion people live in endemic areas for canine rabies. Vaccination of domestic animals is limited to industrialized and middle-income countries. The development of clinical rabies can be prevented through timely immunization after exposure: however, preventive vaccination simplifies the post-exposure procedure considerably, as immunoglobulins are no longer needed and less vaccine administrations are scheduled. Pre-exposure prophylaxis consists of an intramuscular (IM)of intradermal (ID) dose given on days 0, 7 and 21 or 28. The development of immunological memory after this vaccination is critical for the establishment of long lasting immunity. Subjects receiving a booster dose 1 year after pre-exposure prophylaxis segregate themselves into 'good' and 'poor' responders; the former may not need further boosters for 10 years, whereas the latter may need more frequent boosters. Until recently, guidelines in travel medicine recommended pre-exposure vaccination only for some risk groups. Since recent studies have shown the effectiveness of the ID vaccination, the policies are changing towards pre-exposure vaccination for a larger population, including travelers to endemic regions, where immunoglobulins and vaccine are often not readily available. Based on the above, the investigators must stress the concept of "boostability" after a risk exposure. However, the current pre-exposure vaccination scheme could be improved: a schedule of 1 week would be less time consuming, would improve compliance and give less interference with other prophylaxis measures, e.g. mefloquine. Two small studies suggest that a schedule of 1 week interval is as effective and immunogenic as the standard one. The investigators will investigate whether the accelerated schedule is as effective as the classical schedule, by carrying out a randomized, non-inferiority study.
The purpose of the protocol is to develop final draft PRO instruments of physical activity in daily life to be used and evaluated in the further validation studies measuring physical activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.
Study is designed to show a lack of effect on white blood cells circulating in the spinal fluid.
The administration of Anamorelin in patients with Stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer-cachexia (NSCLC-C) is expected to increase appetite, lean body mass, weight gain, and muscle strength.
