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.
A mix-method cross-sectional feasibility study performed in five aged care institutes in Flanders, Belgium. A convenience sample of 48 aged persons was recruited and 12 supervisors (i.e. occupational therapy students and therapists). Aged persons received a 20-30 minutes test with a technology-based system, i.e. intelligent Activity-based Client-centred Training system (i-ACT). The i-ACT consists of the Microsoft Kinect and adapted software in which movements can be recorded and training parameters can be set by supervisors. During and after the test, the thinking aloud method was used. After the test, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, the System Usability Scale, and the Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire were administered in the aged persons.
Although IVM as a laboratory technology in reproductive medicine has existed for many decades, there is a lack of well-designed studies comparing the efficiency and the patient satisfaction related to IVM as compared to standard ovarian stimulation for IVF. In view of this, and in order to identify unmet needs of fertility specialists with regard to the application of IVM, the investigator developed the idea of a worldwide web-based survey analysis of fertility specialists' insights and experiences regarding IVM.
Study D5290C00008 is a Phase 2, open-label, uncontrolled, single-dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic(s) (PK), occurrence of antidrug antibody (ADA), and efficacy of nirsevimab in immunocompromised children who are ≤ 24 months of age at the time of dose administration. Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be followed for approximately 1 year after dose administration.
Objectives: The investigators conducted a prospective study in Belgium with the objective to determine the proportion of subjects identified at moderate-to-high risk for AMD, based on the STARS® questionnaire, in need of nutritional supplementation by assessing their vitamin D, zinc oxide and fatty acid profile status. Methods: This multicentre epidemiological intervention pilot study involved 50 Belgian subjects with no AMD or early AMD, aged over 55, at moderate-to-high risk for AMD based on a simplified AMD risk assessment scale (STARS®) score ≥ 10, not taking vitamin D or trace nutrient containing supplements. Outcome data was collected during a one-time subject interview comprising of clinical eye examinations (typically visual acuity), the STARS® questionnaire, visual acuity assessment, an OCT scan on the macula, and fundus photography. Blood samples were collected from the patients and serum analysis was performed to determine the levels of omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, EPA and DHA, zinc and cupric oxide, and vitamin D, recognised as key nutrients involved in AMD pathophysiology.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on disease characteristics from adult patients diagnosed with fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAOD).
The goal of the overall CASUS project is to develop the first fully molecular integrated cervical cancer screening approach, based on first-void urine as an easily accessible and non-invasive source of biomarkers. In contrast to current screening modalities, the CASUS approach will identify women with clinically relevant disease in need of treatment using only a single sample that can be collected at home (one-step triage).
A Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of PLN-74809 in participants with primary sclerosing cholangitis and suspected liver fibrosis
A novel magnetic device, called MAgnetic Gastrointestinal Universal Septotome (MAGUS) was designed to improve the Treatment of diverticulum of the esophagus, Pseudo-diverticulum of the upper GI tract, Candy cane syndrome This study aims to evaluating the safety of the feasability of this new device.
Fesoterodine (Toviaz™) extended-release (ER) tablets are currently manufactured by Aesica Pharmaceuticals, Zwickau, Germany (Zwickau). An additional manufacturing location at Pfizer Freiburg, Germany (Freiburg) has been identified. This pivotal bioequivalence (BE) study is being conducted to satisfy the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory requirements for the qualification of the Freiburg manufacturing site. Overall Study Design This is an open-label, randomized, single-dose, 4-period, 4-treatment, 2-sequence, two 2-way crossover study in healthy participants. This study will assess the BE of Fesoterodine (Toviaz™) 4 mg and 8 mg ER tablets manufactured at Zwickau (Reference) versus Freiburg (Test). Study participants will include healthy male and/or female individuals between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive. Approximately 18 participants who fulfill entry criteria will be randomized to 1 of the 2 treatment sequences as shown in the table below.
Hundred already taken CT-scans (50 male and 50 female) will be anonymized. These scans will be segmented and implemented into a statistical shape model that will be used to predict missing hard tissue of a mandible based on the remaining bone.
