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 primary objective of this study is to establish the dose-response relationship with regard to efficacy and safety of BIBR 1048 (50 mg bis in die(b.i.d), 150 mg b.i.d, 225 mg b.i.d. and 300 mg quaque die(q.d) ) in preventing venous thromboembolism(VTE) in patients undergoing primary elective total hip and knee replacement.
This study is being carried out to see if a new drug called ticagrelor given twice daily in addition to the ASA therapy decreases the frequency of cardiovascular events (e.g., death from heart disease, heart attack, or stroke).
This phase 2b study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 16 and 24 weeks of response-guided duration of therapy with GS-9190 and GS-9256 in combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®). Additionally, the efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of GS-9256 in combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys®) and Ribavirin (Copegus®) will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of lumacaftor (VX-809) alone and when coadministered with ivacaftor (VX-770) in participants with cystic fibrosis, homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation.
In this study, we evaluate the role of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS), two advanced imaging techniques in magnetic resonance (MR) in grading and detection of microscopic infiltrating tumour in gliomas. These parameters are of utmost importance in optimal choice and planning of treatment. Patients treated with gliomatous brain tumours are included voluntarily. They undergo one imaging session on a 3T MR scanner prior to treatment. DKI data are quantitively analyzed in order to estimate specific parameters in normal appearing white matter, grey matter, tumor and peritumoral edema. MRS data are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with peak integration, ratio calculation and classification algorithms. Histological confirmation is obtained at subsequent surgery. Information from this study can be of significant importance in avoiding brain biopsies. Furthermore, information on microscopic tumour spread can be used during neurosurgery or in radiotherapy planning. An important advantage of these advanced MR techniques is the non-invasivity and the lack of ionizing radiation, two important issues in this relatively young patient population.
The main objectives of the study are 1. to study the different T cell subtypes (Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg) in the lower airways of healthy subjects and clinically different asthma patients, based on a non-invasive procedure of sputum induction. Patients will be different in function of age, in relation to the trigger (eg aspirin, without or with association with polyposis), without or with underlying atopic sensitization or different in the type of underlying inflammation (eosinophilic vs neutrophilic). This T cell pattern will become the basis of molecular phenotyping in the patients. 2. to study the usefulness of asthma molecular phenotyping (by following the balance between the inflammatory markers on the one hand and the regulatory markers on the other hand) in asthma guidance (longitudinally). The final goal of this project is then to develop a sputum non-invasive biomarker array that can be used to distinguish the different inflammatory asthma phenotypes and that can predict steroid resistance and/or sensitivity to other anti-inflammatory medication, using a non-invasive technique that can be used also at young age and repetitively.
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors, at the time of the diagnosis of PAD, for asymptomatic carotid stenosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The investigators propose a randomized non-inferiority trial that compares preoperative Fluoro Uracil (FU)-based chemoradiotherapy to radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost. In patients with T3-4 rectal cancer, the latter approach is considered preferential with regard to toxicity and cost. The metabolic response of the tumor, as assessed by 18F-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose-Positron Emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) or PET-CT, will be used as a surrogate marker of cause specific outcome
To assess the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin add-on therapy to reduce HbA1c in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled by insulin, with or without concurrent metformin therapy.
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study will evaluate the effect of gantenerumab (RO4909832) on cognition and functioning and the safety and pharmacokinetics in participants with prodromal Alzheimer's Disease. Participants will be randomized to receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of either gantenerumab or placebo. Participants who consent to be part of the sub study will undergo positron emission tomography (PET) scanning to assess brain amyloid. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks in Part 1, with an option for an additional up to 2 years of treatment in Part 2, followed by an open-label extension (Part 3) until July 2020. The dosing for Parts 1 and 2 was stopped after a planned futility interim analysis showed a low probability of meeting the primary outcome measure with the doses studied. The study has converted to open-label to investigate higher gantenerumab doses.
