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 current study aims to explore and analyse the decision making process of couples in regards to continuing or discontinuing infertility treatment. A longitudinal, prospective cohort design is used which allows the monitoring of patients over a longer period of time. Data will be collected quantitatively (questionnaires) as well as qualitatively (in-depth interviews) to allow for a more specific and in depth experience than can be obtained by using a questionnaire study. Innovative aspects of the study include: 1. exploration of determinants of continuing and discontinuing infertility treatment by using a comprehensive psychological theory (both surface and in-depth) 2. exploration of gender differences in the decision making process in continuing or discontinuing treatment 3. longitudinal and prospective arm of the study will allow to gain insight into the 'process' 4. prediction of continuing/discontinuing treatment based on psychological variables.
This is a phase 3 study to compare the clinical benefit of MDV3100 versus placebo in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have been previously treated with docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of one booster dose of a HIV candidate vaccine after administration of one oral dose of chloroquine.
This present study, randomized, single-blind, dose-ranging, multicenter study, will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of two doses of an adjuvanted and not-adjuvanted new swine-origin influenza A/H1N1 virus monovalent subunit vaccine in healthy adult and elderly subjects. A booster dose will be administered 12 months after the first vaccination.
The present study, randomized, single-blind, dose-ranging, multicenter study, will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of two doses of adjuvanted and not-adjuvanted new swine-origin influenza A/H1N1 virus monovalent subunit vaccine in healthy children and adolescents. A booster dose will be administered 12 months after the first vaccination.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experimental drug known as tadalafil given once daily can reduce the symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (straining, urinary frequency, feeling like your bladder is still full etc.)
This present study, randomized, single-blind, dose-ranging, multicenter study, will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of two doses of an adjuvanted and not-adjuvanted new swine-origin influenza A/H1N1 virus monovalent subunit vaccine in healthy adult and elderly subjects. A booster dose will be administered 12 months after the first vaccination.
Studies suggest that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) potentially reduces inflammation and hyperinflation in patients with COPD. In this pilot study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of high dose NAC in 12 patients with moderate COPD will be examined. These patients will receive a placebo for 12 weeks and NAC for 12 weeks in a dosage of 3 times 600 mg a day on top of their usual medication in a randomized crossover design. All subjects will be followed for 28 weeks. The effect of high dose NAC on small airways will be assessed by measuring the total and peripheral airway resistance calculated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The effect on oxidative stress will be assessed by measuring exhaled NO and specific markers (CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, IL-6, 8-isoprostane, H2O2, TNF-alfa, glutathione, GPX, SOD and IL-8) in blood and Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC). Dynamic and static lung volumes will be assessed by spirometry, body plethysmography and diffusion. Quality of life and symptoms will be assessed by the St George Respiratory Questionnaire.
The primary objective of this trial is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 6727 therapy in terms of drug-related adverse events when combined with a platinum therapy (cisplatin or carboplatin). Secondary objectives are the collection of overall safety and antitumour efficacy data and the determination of the pharmacokinetic profile of BI 6727 combination treatment with cisplatin and carboplatin.
