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.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of early corticosteroid withdrawal in paediatric renal transplant patients on growth expressed as change in height standard deviation score (SDS) from baseline to end of study as the primary endpoint. The expected advantages are reduced growth suppression, lower incidence of arterial hypertension and post transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and improved lipid metabolism, expressed by lower serum lipid values.
Primary objective of this study is to compare the renal function as well as the incidence of renal dysfunction, the incidence of death, graft loss and acute rejection. Secondary Objective is to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of the two regimens in elderly renal transplanted patients.
Primary Objective - The main objective of this study is to assess if a two-month regimen of irbesartan in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation can reduce inflammation markers (ie hsCRP), in comparison to a similar regimen of enalapril. Secondary Objectives - To compare both regimens on several other biological parameters which have demonstrated their relevance and their predictive clinical value (ie BNP, microalbuminuria, troponin I …) in this patient population. - To compare on the above parameters the early initiation of treatment versus the initiation of treatment at hospital discharge.
This protocol will test the activity of Enzastaurin vs. Lomustine in the treatment of recurrent brain cancer (specifically intracranial glioblastoma multiforme).
To compare the efficacy and safety of two regimens containing tacrolimus and minimal steroids together with either monoclonal anti-IL2R antibodies (daclizumab) or mycophenolate mofetil.
This study will determine the relative efficacy and safety of up to 100 days Valcyte prophylaxis relative to up to 200 days Valcyte prophylaxis when given for the prevention of CMV disease in high-risk (D+/R-) kidney allograft recipients. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
To evaluate the efficacy of pregabalin compared to placebo in the treatment of posttraumatic peripheral neuropathic pain
The immune response of uraemic patients to hepatitis B vaccination is impaired compared to healthy subjects. After vaccination, anti-HBs peak antibody concentrations are reduced. As the persistence of anti-HBs is closely related to the initial anti-HBs peak, a more immunogenic vaccine, allowing higher antibody concentrations, would be a benefit for this population.
Hepatitis B prevention in non-responders uraemic patients is currently based on both HBsAg surveillance and the isolation from HBsAg carriers. A more immunogenic vaccine would be a benefit for this population.
The pre-dialysis, peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis patients would benefit from an improved hepatitis B vaccine, which will elicit stronger and faster cellular and humoral immune responses after the primary vaccination course.
