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 is performed to investigate the long-term safety, in particular the diabetogenic potential and immunogenicity of rhGH therapy in short children born small for gestational age (SGA).
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of intetumumab when given in combination with docetaxel and prednisone to participants with metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another) hormone-refractory (not responding to treatment) prostate cancer (abnormal tissue that grows and spreads in the body until it kills).
This study will compare pregabalin and levetiracetam in patients with partial seizures. It will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of pregabalin and levetiracetam in these patients.
This was a parallel group, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicentre study designed to assess whether vandetanib (ZD6474) conferred an improvement in PFS as compared to placebo in participants with locally advanced or metastatic papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma failing or unsuitable for radioiodine therapy. The trial was of a sufficient size so that if vandetanib (ZD6474) was truly active there was a high probability that it would demonstrate an effect sufficiently promising to warrant a follow-up assessment. - Participants were seen weekly for the first 2 weeks, then again at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 after randomization, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Upon disease progression, all participants (both active and placebo) were unblinded and given the option to discontinue blinded study treatment and enter follow up and survival, or begin open label vandetanib (ZD6474) 300 mg treatment. All participants were followed to collect survival data until greater than or equal to (>=) 50% of participants had died. Participants who were taking vandetanib (ZD6474) at the time of study closure and wished to remain on therapy were allowed to continue for as long as the Investigator felt that they were obtaining clinical benefit, or until they were given another anti-cancer therapy. The safety data from all participants was assessed on an ongoing basis, including discontinuation and follow up. - Radiologic evaluation using RECIST criteria was performed every 12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks). All medical images were centralized assessed at the site and centrally reviewed. Participants were evaluated until progression, and then followed up for survival, regardless of whether they continued randomized treatment, unless they withdrew consent. Post progression open-label vandetanib (ZD6474) were offered at the investigators discretion. - All participants submitted a suitable archived tumor sample prior to randomization. In the event that a suitable archived sample was not available within 2 weeks prior to randomization, a fresh tumor sample was obtained in its place prior to randomization. If a participant underwent the fresh tumor biopsy procedure, this specimen would satisfy the first optional tumor biopsy submission should they consented to the exploratory part of the study.
In a prospective and randomized study protocol, three different blood pressure regulating agents (nitroprusside, nitroglycerine, sevoflurane) will be compared concerning their effect on the cerebral oxygen balance between both hemispheres during aortic coarctation repair. Cerebral and somatic saturation will be monitored non-invasively and continuously via optical sensors applied to the right and left forehead and the somatic regions. Arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, heart rate and systemic saturation will be recorded continuously. Intermittently, arterial and venous blood gas analysis will be performed at 6 definite time intervals. The study ends at the end of the operation.
Keppra injection is approved in the US as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. The objective of the current study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, of this formulation in children aged 4 to 16 years.
This efficacy and safety study compares four different combinations of blinded inhaled steroid treatments on top of open-label tiotropium and salmeterol in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The primary objective is the effect on lung function parameters.
This study was to find out if patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis treated with Interferon beta-1a had an improved quality of life after treatment with Interferon beta-1a
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Tarceva plus Avastin, and chemotherapy plus Avastin, in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg p.o. daily plus Avastin 15mg/kg i.v. every 3 weeks, or standard platinum-based chemotherapy (4-6 cycles) plus Avastin. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This study compares the effectiveness and safety of the combination of anidulafungin and voriconazole compared to that of voriconazole alone (which is generally considered the standard of care) for the treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis.
