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.
RATIONALE: Studying biopsy, bone marrow, and blood samples from patients with cytopenia that did not respond to treatment may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is assessing immune function in young patients with cytopenia that did not respond to treatment.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracil, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy, with or without lapatinib, before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed or eliminate the need for surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy given together with radiation therapy with or without lapatinib and to see how well it works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the larynx or hypopharynx.
- PHASE: II - TYPE OF STUDY : With direct benefit - DESCRIPTIVE: Multicenter, randomized, double-blind study - INCLUSION CRITERIA: Steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis - OBJECTIVES: To show superiority of methotrexate vs placebo in inducing steroid-free remission in steroid-dependent ulcerative colitis - STUDY TREATMENTS: Methotrexate 1 intramuscular injection (25 mg) per week Placebo 1 intramuscular injection per week - NUMBERS OF PATIENTS: 55 patients in each group, i.e. a total of 110 patients - INCLUSION PERIOD: 24 months - STUDY DURATION: 36 months - EVALUATION CRITERIA: Remission without steroids, immunosuppressives and without colectomy at 16 weeks of treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if the multi modality treatment pemetrexed combined with cisplatin and radiotherapy can lead to a better tumor control and/or a better side-effect profile in patients with locally advanced NSCLC. Patients will be randomized between 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by 3 cycles of adjuvant combination chemotherapy.
the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Niti CAR-device in the creation of colorectal anastomosis
The purpose of this Clinical Evaluation is the continued assessment of the XIENCE Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® and XIENCE PRIME™ EECSS) with the primary focus on clinical outcomes in the treatment of female patients with de novo coronary artery lesions, and the characterization of the female population undergoing stent implantation with a XIENCE stent.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether apixaban is more effective than acetylsalicylic acid in the prevention of strokes associated with patients with atrial fibrillation. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
This is a Belgian prospective multicentre registry on the performance of the Smart stent in the superficial femoral artery according to the new tasc II-classification.
This is an evaluation of potential differences in saliva composition and dental calculus composition between orally fed and tube fed individuals in an institutional environment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early recurrence after curative resection of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma can be explained by either dissemination of cancer cells during intraoperative tumour manipulation, post-operative systemic immune suppression, alteration of biological properties of circulating cancer cells or a combination of these.
