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.
Anifrolumab Study of Treatment Effectiveness in the Real World (ASTER) study will collect real world data to obtain a good understanding of the (sustained) clinical effect and patient quality of life outcomes among diagnosed SLE patients who initiate anifrolumab treatment. ASTER will generate critical real-world evidence on the benefits of adding anifrolumab to standard of care treatment for SLE in routine clinical practice, to inform physicians, payers and patients.
The goal of this observational prospective cohort study is to determine key clinical predictors for chronic ankle instability and return to sports in patients who suffered an acute ankle sprain. The researchers will evaluate clinical outcome measures and patient reported outcome measures on 3 test moments and at 12 months of follow-up.
This study will be done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will get study medicine for once-monthly injections either in a pre-filled syringe to inject the study medicine into a skinfold or a pen-injector to inject the study medicine into flat skin. The study is expected to last for up to 4 years. Participants will have up to 20 clinic visits. Participants will have to use a study app on their phone to record and share information about all their injections of study medicine and to fill in questionnaires.
The aim of this study is to investigate the occurrence of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation after totally endoscopic cardiac surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of QRL-201 in people living with ALS
The goal of this physiological interventional prospective study is to evaluate the improvement of the previously demonstrated correlation between PaO2/ FiO2 and Lung Ultrasound score (LUSS) in patients admitted in the ICU with an intesrtitial syndrom (IS) on the ultrasound of all aetiologies at inclusion and at twenty four and forty eight hours. The main question it aims to answer is if the LUSS is a valid tool to evaluate the severity of the IS Participants will initially have an arterial blood gas to evaluate the PaO2/FiO2 and in the ten minutes a lung ultrasound to evaluate the LUSS. This will be repeated at twenty four and forty eight hours.
This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, 3-arm, multicenter, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd with or without durvalumab compared with ICT in participants with stage I to III TNBC with residual invasive disease in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes at surgical resection following neoadjuvant systemic therapy.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical trial of buspirone in patients with complaints of dysphagia due to poor esophageal motility. The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effect of buspirone on esophageal motility by performing high resolution impedance manometry (HRiM).
This study aims to investigate the effect of 3 randomly applied interceptive measures (slow maxillary expansion, extraction of deciduous canines and no intervention) on maxillary canine impaction in patients with early mixed dentition and lack of space in the dental arch. Additionally, these groups are compared with a control group with adequate space. Patients with at least one impacted maxillary canine, presence of deciduous canines and absence of crossbite were included. The canine position is assessed by measuring five variables (sector of the canine cusp, canine to midline angle, canine to first premolar angle, canine cusp to midline distance, and canine cusp to maxillary plane distance) on 2 panoramic radiographs at 0 (T1) and 18 months (T2).
Proton pump inibitors (PPIs) is a class of medications that reduce the acid secretion in the stomach. These medications are very effective to relieve symptoms of acid reflux for a well-identified group of diseases and conditions. Over the years, a major rise in use of these drugs has occurred. Convincing analyses reveal that a large share of this use occurs outside regular indications, at inappropriately elevated doses and prolonged treatment durations. Moreover, there are increasing concerns regarding potential adverse effects and the high cost associated with improper PPI use. Guidelines propose to reduce chronic use of PPIs, but to date this has not generated a reduction in their application in clinical practice. One reason is the occurrence of a period of 2 weeks of increased acid secretion, with recurrence of symptoms, when these drugs are stopped after already a few weeks of usage (rebound effect). The best strategy to overcome this period of increased acid secretion and symptoms has not been established. The PEPPER study will evaluate two different strategies to overcome the period of increased secretion when trying to interrupt chronic proton pump inhibitor therapy. The investigators will compare the success of stopping PPIs when these strategies are implemented, compared to a classical strategy of stopping after intermittent PPI intake. The strategies under evaluation are a period of non-daily intake of proton pump inhibitors (on-demand) before stopping, or the use of alternative methods to control gastric acidity and reflux (so-called alginates). The investigators will evaluate the success rate of stopping chronic PPIs treatment with these approaches, compared to an interruption with intake of antacids. Patients will be followed up for 1 year after interruption of PPIs, and the level of symptom control, quality of life and healthcare costs will be evaluated at intervals. The study will be conducted in patients from primary care practices with chronic PPIs intake outside of the established disease indications.
