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 the effect of ABT-869 plus mFOLFOX6 compared to bevacizumab plus mFOLFOX6 on disease progression in advanced colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccines in young adults. Subjects will be vaccinated twice with an interval of two months.
This is the first part of a 2-part study assessing the efficacy of AZD2281 in combination with paclitaxel in 1st or 2nd line treatment of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer. This first part (Phase I) is an open-label, intra patient dose finding study to establish the appropriate doses and schedule of paclitaxel and AZD2281 in combination, to be used in the randomized Phase II part. The safety and tolerability of AZD2281 in combination with paclitaxel will be explored. Approximately 10 patients per cohort from 4-5 countries will be enrolled in Phase I.
Antiglaucoma medication have been shown to induce subclinical conjunctival inflammation in a considerable proportion of glaucoma patients. Today, trabeculectomy still remains the gold standard as surgical treatment of medically uncontrolled glaucoma disease. However, this procedure is associated with variable possible complications, of which subconjunctival fibrosis is the most frequent one. The latter results in a non-functional filtering bleb. As a consequence, either additional interventions such as laser suture lysis, needling, bleb revision or additional IOP-lowering medication is necessary. Previous studies demonstrated a benefit of the use of topical steroids postoperatively in reducing inflammation and subsequent subconjunctival fibrosis. In this perspective, we will prospectively explore the usefulness of topical NSAID or corticosteroid therapy preoperatively as compared to placebo in subjects scheduled for first-time trabeculectomy, without interrupting topical antiglaucoma therapy. This will allow us to determine wether the impact of longterm topical antiglaucoma therapy on subclinical conjunctival inflammation which possibly result in postoperative fibrosis and bleb failure can be reversed by anti-inflammatory medication before filtering surgery.
The purpose of the this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intramuscular (IM) depot formulation of aripiprazole as maintenance treatment in patients with schizophrenia The trial is designed into three treatment phases. Phase 1 is designed to allow for a subject to be converted from the current anti-psychotic treatment to oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy (oral conversion phase from 4 to 6 weeks). During Phase 2 the subject will be stabilized on oral non-generic aripiprazole monotherapy. Once the subject is stabilized in Phase 2 (oral stabilization phase from minimum 8 weeks to maximum 28 weeks), they are eligible to be randomized into the double-blind IM depot maintenance phase, Phase 3. During Phase 3, the subject will be assessed for exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and impending relapse for up to 38 weeks.
Antigen expression levels in bone marrow from volunteering donors will be analyzed. The results of this analysis will be used to establish a clinical test to identify cancer patients who could qualify to receive an investigational treatment being developed by GlaxoSmithKline.
The purpose of this study is to identify the highest tolerable dose of neratinib (HKI-272) in combination with vinorelbine and to assess the safety of the combination of the two drugs as well as to obtain preliminary information on whether the combination of the two drugs has any effect on solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts. In the first part, testing will be done on up to 12 subjects to determine the highest tolerable dose of HKI-272 and vinorelbine in patients with advanced solid tumors. In the second part of the study, approximately 60 additional subjects with metastatic ErbB-2-positive breast cancer, with no prior exposure to lapatinib, are planned to be added to better define the tolerability and preliminary activity of HKI-272 in combination with vinorelbine. Up to 20 additional subjects with ErbB-2-positive breast cancer with prior lapatinib exposure are also planned to be enrolled in part 2 for exploratory analyses.
The purpose of this open-label, randomized, controlled, Phase 1/2 study of the integrin inhibitor cilengitide is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of different regimens of cilengitide added to cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and cetuximab in participants with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The Phase 1 part was conducted in dedicated study centers. In the Phase 2 part of this trial, cilengitide is administered at two different doses to two experimental groups. The third group will only receive cisplatin, 5-FU and cetuximab. In the Phase 1 part of this trial, the dose of cilengitide in combination with cisplatin, 5-FU and cetuximab was determined. Cilengitide is an experimental anti-cancer substance interacting with so-called integrins. Integrins are protein molecules that are known to be present on the surface of certain cancer cells. Integrins are also found on certain cells that belong to growing blood vessels (endothelial cells). Integrins potentially facilitate the blood vessels' support of the tumor (angiogenesis) as well as the tumor's growth and further spread throughout the body (metastasis). By inhibiting integrins on the tumor cell surface, cilengitide potentially kills cancer cells, and potentially sensitizes cancer cells to other co-administered therapeutics. By inhibiting integrins on the endothelial cell surface, it potentially inhibits the ingrowth of additional blood vessels towards the tumor. Cilengitide is given as an intravenous infusion (given by a drip in one vein of your arm). If any unacceptable side effect occurs, treatment with the study drug will be stopped.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) with XL184 as compared with placebo (an inactive substance) in subjects with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Subjects will be randomized to receive XL184 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. XL184 is an investigational drug that inhibits VEGFR2, MET and RET, kinases implicated in tumor formation, growth and migration. The Clinical Steering Committee for this study, comprised of study doctors who specialize in medullary thyroid cancer, has provided guidance regarding the design of the study. The committee includes: Douglas Ball, MD, Barry Nelkin, PhD, Martin Schlumberger, MD and Steven Sherman, MD.
