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.
A randomized, prospective clinical trial analyzing whether the use of lightweight prostheses during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair of male patients could have a beneficial effect on postoperative discomfort, chronic pain development, recurrence and male fertility aspects.
The 2006 American Heart Association / American Stroke Association Council on Stroke Guidelines for Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic recommended that patients with cryptogenic stroke take antithrombotic drugs (i.e. aspirin) in order to prevent a second stroke. When a stroke patient is found to have atrial fibrillation (AF), the guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation due to its superior efficacy over aspirin for stroke prevention. Physicians can best optimize the use of medicines only if they can precisely and correctly diagnose a patient's AF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the time to first AF by 6 months' continuous rhythm monitoring versus control treatment in subjects with a recent cryptogenic stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) without history of AF.
This study is to determine the change in blood pressure from the administration of Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide triple combinations compared to dual combinations with Olmesartan/Amlodipine.
Microwave ablation (MWA) is the most recent development in the field of local ablative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability and reproducibility of single-probe MWA versus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of metastatic liver tumours smaller than 3 cm in patients without underlying liver disease.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and performance of the RTPS in patients with localized prostate cancer.The RTPS is an investigational device and requires permanent implantation of a small radioactive fiducial, called the Blip, in the prostate.
MEK111759 is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II, open-label study to determine the recommended dose and regimen for the orally administered MEK inhibitor GSK1120212 in subjects with relapsed or refractory leukemias. The recommended dose and regimen will be selected based on the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles. This study will identify the maximum tolerated and recommended Phase II doses using a dose-escalation procedure. Dose escalations will continue based on predefined parameters until a maximum tolerated dose is established. In Phase II, the clinical efficacy of GSK1120212 in subjects with relapsed or refractory leukaemias (AML, MDS or CMML) will be determined.
The study is designed to evaluate the effect of food on typical blood levels obtained after oral dosing of AG-013736. Drug levels in blood will be compared after an overnight fast and a high-fat, high-calorie meal.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of filibuvir on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyloestradiol [EE] and levonorgestrel [LN], to assess the safety and tolerability of 600 mg BID of filibuvir in healthy women and to investigate the pharmacokinetics of 600 mg BID of filibuvir in healthy women.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether greater occipital nerve stimulation is effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia related pain. The study uses sub sensory threshold stimulation and placebo stimulation in order to investigate whether sub-threshold stimulation is feasible in a placebo controlled study.
This protocol describes a randomized multicenter clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that a 12-week program of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) yields larger beneficial effects in stable heart failure patients than current practice, defined as either a similar training program with the same volume of moderate continuous training (MCT) or a recommendation of regular exercise at moderate intensity at individual choice (RRE).
