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.
Subjects with peritoneal dialysis are randomized to different groups. The different groups receive different intra-abdominal volumes and different glucose-concentrations. The effects on blood pressure and other cardiovascular parameters (e.g. central blood pressure, augmentation index, ...) will be evaluated.
This study will evaluate the feasibility of higher and prolonged dose escalation concentrated in the intra-tumoral regions which are FDG-avid after two weeks of radiotherapy.
The purpose of the trial is to determine the most effective dose of BAy 46-9003 associated to taxotere for first-line treatment of patient with prostatic cancer. BAY 43-9006 (SORAFENIB) is a novel dual-action Raf kinase and VEGFR inhibitor, which is orally available and has a favorable safety profile in patients with advanced solid tumors. This, together with the antitumor activity observed after treatment with BAY 43-9006 (SORAFENIB), provides a rationale for further evaluation in patients with advanced cancer. The recommended dose of BAY 43-9006 (SORAFENIB) for future studies is 400 mg bid as a continuous dosing schedule.
This study is being carried out to assess if adding ZD6474 to best supportive care (BSC) is more effective than best supportive care alone, for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whose disease has recurred after previous chemotherapy and an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (EGFR TKI). ZD6474 is a new anti-cancer drug in development that works in a different way to standard chemotherapy drugs. It targets the growth of new blood vessels to a tumour and thereby might slow the rate at which the tumour may grow. Early studies indicate that ZD6474 has a positive effect on the time that a tumour may take to progress to a further stage. Approximately 930 patients will take part in this study. It will be conducted in hospitals and clinics in North and South America, Europe and Asia.
This study will assess the rate of objective confirmed tumor response of irinotecan in combination with temozolomide in children with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma and in children with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.
The study is a 24 months randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical trial with an optional 12 months open label extension. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of fetal bovine serum [FBS]-free/human serum albumin [HSA]-free formulation of Interferon [IFN] beta-1a (RNF) 44 microgram (three times weekly and once weekly) versus placebo on the time to conversion to McDonald multiple sclerosis (MS) criteria (2005) in subjects with a first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS. The main secondary objective of study is to evaluate the effect of RNF 44 microgram (three times weekly and once weekly) versus placebo on the "Time to conversion to clinically definite MS (CDMS)" in subjects with a first clinical demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS. At the end of 24 month double-blind core REFLEX trial, subjects who will not convert to CDMS and decide to receive open-label (OL) treatment will be enrolled into an open-label, 12 month extension period to evaluate the effect of RNF 44 mcg three times weekly treatment on the time to conversion to McDonald MS and time to conversion to CDMS.
This study investigates the safety and tolerability as well as the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of caspofungin in four escalating dosages in adult patients with hematologic malignancies and proven or probable invasive aspergillosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban with warfarin for the prevention of blood clots in the brain (referred to as stroke) and blood clots in other parts of the body referred to as non-central nervous system systemic embolism) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder).
The purpose of this study is to determine if oral treatment with ONO-2506PO in patients diagnosed with ALS, who have had onset of muscle weakness within 14 months of randomization, could lead to the slowing of decline in respiratory function, functional status, muscle strength, quality of life and survival compared with placebo group.
Patients, who are considered suitable by their physicians to take part in this research, will have a physical examination (including an Electrocardiogram (ECG)), blood and urine samples taken, as well as a sample of the secretions or tissue around their infection site. In addition, the site of the infection will be photographed. The patients will be randomly assigned one of the treatments: intravenous (IV)/per oral (PO) moxifloxacin (drug under evaluation) or IV piperacillin/tazobactam followed by PO amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (i.e., one of the reference treatments for this kind of infection). The maximum treatment duration will be 21 days, and the minimum will be 7 days. During the hospitalization, the patients will have a physical examination every day. On Day 3-5 during therapy as well as at the end of treatment, the patients will have repeated examinations. These tests and evaluations will be repeated 14 to 28 days after the end of treatment. During this visit, blood and urine samples will be taken only if judged necessary by the physicians.
