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 assess the genomics profiles in synovial biopsies obtained prior to, and 24 weeks after an immunomodulator agent (Apremilast) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who are naive to treatment with a conventional synthetic DMARDs (such as methotrexate).
This is a single center, investigator initiated study, sponsored by the UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; comparing laser treatment to pelvic floor exercises (PFE). Women with symptomatic stress urinary incontinence who seek for a conservative treatment, with no history of previous incontinence-surgery will be randomised to either the laser-arm or the PFE-arm. There are 3 visits (with a maximum of 6 visits) where vaginal application of laser will be performed, with a 4-weeks interval. Each application lasts around 15 minutes. The vaginal laser procedure will be performed in an outpatient setting, not requiring any specific preparation, analgesia or anesthesia, by one of two experienced operators. The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of VEL treatment for the subjective cure or improvement of SUI. The secondary objectives are to measure objective outcomes, to register any adverse events, and to determine for how long the effects of laser are sustained, with a maximum of two years.
This is a Phase III double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Durvalumab versus Placebo in patients with stage II-III NSCLC who are MRD-positive following curative intent therapy.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7296682 in combination with Atezolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The investigators plan to determine whether it is possible to use a small, unobtrusive wearable device (the Sensor Dot with Plug 'n Patch system) to follow-up epilepsy in the home environment through measurement of different biosignals (EEG, ECG, EMG, motion, skin temperature, respiration and oxygen saturation) for prolonged periods in patients with epilepsy. If this is possible, the investigators will study the chronobiology of epilepsy.
In people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), the body makes too much of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This causes too many blood vessels to grow in a part of the eye called the macula. These blood vessels can damage the macula, causing dark spots and blurriness in central vision. The study drug, aflibercept, works by reducing VEGF levels in the eye.It has already been approved for patients to receive as a treatment for nAMD in a fixed 8-weekly or treat-and-extend dosing regimen after having received 3 monthly doses at the start of treatment. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how often patients received aflibercept and how their vision changed. The study will include patients with nAMD who had not received treatment to reduce VEGF levels in the eye before. These patients will have started treatment with aflibercept between January 2016 and November 2018. The study will include about 330 men and women who are at least 18 years old. All of the patients had received aflibercept eye injections based on their doctor's instructions. The researchers will use the patients' medical records from January 2016 to November 2020 to measure the following: - the number of aflibercept eye injections the patients received - how long the patients could wait between treatments - the change in the patients' vision - how many patients stopped treatment and why. - associations between patient and disease characteristics at the start of treatment with the number of aflibercept injections and patient's vision during treatment.
Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is essential for cell function and as a co-factor of the enzyme Pyruvate Dehydrogenase to initiate the Krebs cycle and thus the aerobic metabolism of glucose. We hypothesize that thiamine supplementation improves the clearance of lactate in the first 24 hours after cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation in patients with high lactate concentration.
This is a study in adults with severe breathing problems because of COVID-19. People who are in hospital on breathing support can participate in the study. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called alteplase helps people get better faster. The study has 2 parts. In the first part, participants are put into 3 groups by chance. Participants in 2 of the groups get 2 different doses of alteplase, in addition to standard treatment. Participants in the third group get standard treatment. In the second part of the study, participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group gets alteplase and standard treatment. The other group gets only standard treatment. Alteplase is given as an infusion into a vein. In both study parts, treatments are given for 5 days. Doctors monitor patients and check whether their breathing problems improve. They compare results between the groups after 1 month. Participants are in the study for 3 months.
The objectives of the current proposal are to analyse to what extend: 1. The use of 3D in silico simulation by FEops HEARTguide improves of influences the pre-procedural assessment and device size selection and to what extend it correlates with final implanted device size and depth compared to TEE, CT and angiography. 2. The use of 3D in silico simulation by FEops HEARTguide increases the operator's confidence in the device size selection. A total of 100 consecutive patients for the total registry, or 15 to 20 consecutive patients per center, with standard of care follow-up at ±6 weeks and 1 year post procedure.
Radiotherapy (RT) of the abdomen and/or pelvis is known to cause acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities. While radiation dose and volume are known risk factors for developing such side effects, recent evidence suggests patterns of disturbance in the composition of the GI microbiota - so called "dysbiosis" - may also promote the host's susceptibility to GI toxicities through impaired intestinal barrier function and inflammation. The IMPRINT-study aims to expand the current knowledge on the role of intestinal bacteria and their metabolites involved in the pathophysiology of radiation-induced GI toxicities by longitudinally examining the microbiota composition (feces), the associated metabolome (blood, feces and urine) and bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) (blood and feces).
