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.
To determine if combined [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is performant enough with respect to detecting residual lymph node involvement after chemoradiation in order to omit planned neck dissections in patients with locally advanced potentially operable, N2 and N3 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Primary study hypothesis: The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the negative predictive value (NPV) of FDG PET/CT to detect residual malignant lymph node involvement at 12 weeks after completing chemoradiation will exceed 85%.
To date, there have been no formal clinical studies completed using tiotropium in CF patients. While there is a large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of tiotropium in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), relatively little is known about its efficacy and safety in patients with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Therefore, Boehringer Ingelheim proposed to profile the long acting anticholinergic tiotropium and to generate adequate clinical data for use as a bronchodilator in paediatric and adult CF. The phase III trial (205.438) is a part of the approved Paediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) agreed for Spiriva® Respimat® in Cystic Fibrosis.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this trial is to determine the long term effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular events in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The objective of this study is to determine whether pomalidomide is safe and effective in reversing red blood cell (RBC)-transfusion-dependence in persons with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated myelofibrosis (global study) and in reversing anemia in Chinese with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and severe anemia not receiving RBC-transfusions (China extension study only)
The purpose of this study is to compare the two treatment strategies; first-line combination therapy (ambrisentan and tadalafil) versus first-line monotherapy (ambrisentan or tadalafil) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. This will be assessed by time to the first clinical failure event.
The purpose of this study is to assess vaccine effectiveness of Rotarix in preventing rotavirus severe gastroenteritis among hospitalized infants, in Belgium.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 compared to placebo and sitagliptin given for 24 weeks as monotherapy in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycaemic control. For the open-label part of the study the objective is to estimate the efficacy and safety of BI 10773 when given for 24 weeks in patients with T2DM with very poor glycaemic control.
The aim of this study is to find out how patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis receiving NSAID-therapy are treated and managed by their doctor in usual clinical practice, how patients comply with their treatment and how satisfied they are with their treatment.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVICEL for use as an adjunct to dura sutures in elective cranial surgery to provide intraoperative watertight closure.
The Combinatietherapie Bij Reumatoide Artritis (CoBRA) trial was a milestone in the development of the present treatment paradigm for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study introduced the principle of fast remission induction by means of a combination of standard Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and a step down bridge therapy with high dose glucocorticoids in early Rheumatoid Arthritis. The purpose of the present study is to compare different combinations of traditional DMARDs and glucocorticoids, based on the original CoBRA protocol, for treatment of early Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides the efficacy and effectiveness of these strategies, patient centered outcomes and potential implementation problems of such treatment strategies are evaluated.
