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 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with platinum doublet neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery [neoadjuvant phase], followed by pembrolizumab alone after surgery [adjuvant phase] in participants with resectable stage II, IIIA, and resectable IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypotheses of this study are that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) in combination with NAC, followed by surgery and adjuvant pembrolizumab (vs. placebo) will improve: 1) event free survival (EFS) by biopsy assessed by local pathologist or by investigator-assessed imaging using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1); and 2) overall survival (OS).
The study investigators plan to conduct a longitudinal questionnaire study in adolescents and emerging adults (14-25 years of age at the start of the study) who survived childhood cancer to chart their identity development and broader social functioning. Additionally, the functioning of these survivors will be related to the functioning of their parents and siblings. The investigators shall focus especially on the current experience and impact of the earlier cancer experience. They will investigate to what extent the experience of a life-threatening disease has an effect on the daily life of survivors and over time and how the survivors develop through the course of adolescence and emerging adulthood on the psychosocial level. The formation of an adult identity is a very challenging task during adolescence and the way to adulthood and the fact that these youth had cancer during their childhood may especially complicate this process of identity formation. Furthermore, both parental and sibling functioning will be taken into account, which will allow us to examine inter-generational mechanisms (thus parental functioning that possibly impacts youth functioning and vice versa) and sibling functioning in these families. To investigate the latter, at each timepoint of the longitudinal study a sibling between 14 and 25 years of age at the start of the study will be included (if there is more than one sibling in a family, ideally the sibling who is closest in age will be the one who participates in the study). Moreover, a community sample that is matched on age and sex with the survivor of pediatric cancer will be assessed. This will allow the investigators to make well-founded comparisons regarding identity development and broader psychosocial functioning.
B7451015 is a Phase 3 study to evaluate Abrocitinib with or without Topical Medications in patients aged 12 years and older who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and have completed a qualifying parent study. The efficacy and safety of two dosage strengths of Abrocitinib, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily, will be evaluated over variable lengths of study participation. The study consists of a 92 week initial treatment period followed by a variable length secondary treatment period during which subjects will receive treatment with open-label abrocitinib until availability of commercial product in their country, or until the sponsor terminates the study in that country. The B7451015 study also includes a sub-study evaluating whether abrocitinib has any potential effects on adolescent bone with regard to abnormal bone findings in knee MRI. The sub-study will be conducted in selected countries at selected sites. Eligible subjects are those who were 12 to <18 years of age at the screening visit of the qualifying parent study and who are currently participating in the main B7451015 study. The sub-study will include serial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) annually and continue until all enrolled subjects are 18 years of age and have been imaged at least once or have discontinued/withdrawn.
The objective of this study is to further establish that SQUID, an alternative liquid embolic agent with specific properties, is a safe and effective alternative in bAVM endovascular treatment strategy available to date. Therefore, the performance of SQUID will be documented and its safety of use will be confirmed in current practice.
Sometimes, cancer patients receive an initial treatment, followed by additional treatment to lower the chance of cancer coming back. The standard or usual treatment for this type of disease is initially having radiation therapy at the same time as chemotherapy (with a drug called cisplatin), with no additional therapy afterwards
A register and prediction model will be developed to predict the outcome of preterm labour and birth.
The purpose of this study is to investigate experimental medication BMS-986253 in combination with Nivolumab or Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab in participants with advanced cancers.
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an emerging therapeutic option in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with high thromboembolic and bleeding risks. In Europe the devices most frequently utilized for LAAC are Amplatzer Amulet (St. Jude Medical-Abbott) and Watchman (Boston Scientific) system. However there are currently no randomized controlled trials assessing the degree of LAA closure between the two devices. The main purpose of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility and the efficacy of the devices in terms of LAA complete occlusion with a non-invasive imaging technique such as cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of risankizumab in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) in participants who responded to induction treatment with risankizumab in a prior AbbVie study of risankizumab in UC. This study consists of three sub-studies and a Continuous Treatment Extension (CTE): Substudy 1 is a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance study; Substudy 2 is 52-week, randomized, exploratory maintenance study; and Substudy 3 is an open-label long-term extension study for participants who completed Substudy 1 or 2, or participants who responded to induction treatment in Study M16-067 with no final endoscopy due to the Covid-19 pandemic or due to the geopolitical conflict in Ukraine and surrounding impacted regions. The CTE is an open-label extension for Substudy 3 completers to ensure continuous treatment with risankizumab until such time that risankizumab becomes commercially available and/or the subject can access treatment locally or can transition to a Continued Treatment for Trial Participants Open-Label Extension study.
The objective of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to confirm the safety and performance of the Avenir® Cemented Hip stem when used in primary total hip arthroplasty.
