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.
Major surgeries not involving the heart are common, and major heart problems during or after such surgeries represent a large population health problem. Few treatments to prevent heart problems around the time of surgery have been tested. There is encouraging data suggesting that small doses of Acetyl-Salicylic Acid (ASA) and Clonidine, which are two medications, given individually for a short period before and after major surgeries may prevent major heart problems. The POISE-2 Trial is a large international study to test if ASA and Clonidine can prevent heart attacks and deaths from heart problems around the time of surgery.
To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer receiving the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin either with or without Iniparib. Based on data generated by BiPar/Sanofi, it is concluded that iniparib does not possess characteristics typical of the PARP inhibitor class. The exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, however based on experiments on tumor cells performed in the laboratory, iniparib is a novel investigational anti-cancer agent that induces gamma-H2AX (a marker of DNA damage) in tumor cell lines, induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in tumor cell lines, and potentiates the cell cycle effects of DNA damaging modalities in tumor cell lines. Investigations into potential targets of iniparib and its metabolites are ongoing.
We will investigate the process of vitiligo induction and the influence of different commonly used cream treatments on this process. Studies comparing different treatments for vitiligo in the induction stage of the disease are still missing. The study hypothesis = cream treatment can stop actively spreading vitiligo lesions during the early induction stage of the disease.
Document treatment patterns and evaluate LUCRIN / LUCRIN-TRIDEPOT® (Leuprolide) and alternative therapeutic approaches to the treatment of advanced prostate cancer during normal clinical practice and in accordance with the terms of the Belgian marketing authorization and reimbursement conditions.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ONO-4641 in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis over a 26-week treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy (how well the drug works; primarily through the time to relapse) of long-acting injectable paliperidone palmitate compared to treatment as usual with orally administered antipsychotics in monotherapy over 24 months in the treatment of recently diagnosed (1-5 years since diagnosis) schizophrenia.
This is an international, multi-center study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of romosozumab (AMG 785) in adults with a fresh unilateral hip fracture, status post surgical fixation.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term maintenance of efficacy of Extended-Release Guanfacine HCl in children and adolescents (6-17 years) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who respond to an initial open-label, short term treatment with SPD503.
The primary objective was to compare progression-free survival in adults with relapsed multiple myeloma who are receiving CRd vs participants receiving Rd in a randomized multicenter setting.
Craving is one of the most prominent reasons for relapse after smoking cessation. Mainly pharmacological aids (NRT, bupropion, varenicline) try to counter this condition. This project aims to evaluate the effect of stress-management and a short breathing technique, reinforced by means of visualisation , on the experience of craving in smokers who are prepared to stay abstinent for at least 3 hours before the start of the intervention. It is expected that this strategy can provide supplementary gains in craving control.
