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.
This study compared the lung effects of indacaterol to those of tiotropium in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over a 12 week period.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if AZD8931 can improve the efficacy of standard chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. This study will be conducted in 2 parts: the first part (phase I) will determine a dose of AZD8931 that can be safely administered with paclitaxel chemotherapy. The second part (phase II) will determine the efficacy and safety of AZD8931 in combination with paclitaxel chemotherapy in breast cancer.
This purpose of this study is to measure the concentrations of two anti-epileptic drugs (Eslicarbazepine acetate and oxcarbazepine) and their metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood plasma of healthy subjects and also to assess how these drugs are tolerated.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of deferiprone in subjects with Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). The secondary objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of deferiprone for the treatment of FRDA. The tertiary objectives are to evaluate the effect of deferiprone on: 1. cardiac function, 2. quality of life, and 3. functional status.
The clinical objective of this clinical trial is to examine the clinical activity in terms of tumor response and time to treatment failure of the immunotherapeutic product GSK2132231A when given to patients with unresectable and progressive metastatic cutaneous melanoma. The safety of the treatment will also be assessed just as its immunogenicity in terms of the humoral and cellular immune response induced by the GSK2132231A immunotherapeutic. Translational research objectives are to assess the effects of the study treatment in terms of various biological variables.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a booster dose of pneumococcal vaccines (GSK 2189242A) in young adults. This protocol posting deals with objectives & outcome measures of the booster phase. The objectives & outcome measures of the primary phase are presented in a separate protocol posting (NCT 00707798)
This study is an open, randomised trial in which one group of patients (control) will receive the golden standard therapy and the other group (treatment) will receive individually adapted immunosuppression.
This study evaluated the effect of early initiation of aliskiren therapy, compared to standard therapy, in the reduction of cardiovascular death and heart failure re-hospitalization events within 6 months, in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients hospitalized for an episode of acute decompensated heart failure.
This study evaluates the analgetic effects of the fast-release orodispersible tramadol tablet. Tramadol acts through a weak affinity for μ receptors and secondly by inhibiting noradrenaline and serotonin neuronal reuptake. It has been used since the 1970s by over 50 million people for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. The orodispersible Tramadol tablet is a new galenic form and is available on the Belgian market for the last three years. Pregastric absorption leads to a quicker onset of action. So far, evidence shows that pain during and immediately after the Hysterosalpingography (HSG) procedure is only significantly reduced by IV opioid analgesia. This study evaluates the analgetic potential of an orodispersible opioid tablet. This tablet disintegrates rapidly (in around 20-30 seconds) and may be taken without water. Its abuse potential is very low and its respiratory depressant effect is negligible.
The purpose of this study, is to assess the effect of lanreotide Autogel 120mg on stool frequency in subjects with refractory diarrhea at day 28 (mean of last 7 days) compared to baseline.
