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 is a Phase III, randomised, open-label, 2 arm, multicentre, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd compared with ICC in participants with locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC who are not candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
This study is open for adults with advanced cancer (solid tumours). This is a study for people for whom previous treatment was not successful. This study tests a medicine called BI 907828. BI 907828 is a so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the amount of BI 907828 in the blood is influenced by taking an OATP inhibitor or a CYP3 inhibitor. This study uses an OATP inhibitor called rifampicin and a CYP3 inhibitor called itraconazole. In clinical practice, rifampicin is used as an antibiotic. Itraconazole is used to treat fungal infections. Participants are divided into 2 groups: a rifampicin group and an itraconazole group. Every participant takes BI 907828 as a tablet every 3 weeks. This is called a cycle. - Rifampicin group: In addition to BI 907828, participants take 1 tablet of rifampicin in the second cycle. - Itraconazole group: In addition to BI 907828, participants take itraconazole tablets for 20 days starting 1 week after the second cycle begins Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. The doctors take blood samples from the participants to compare the amount of BI 907828 in the blood when it is taken alone and when participants also take rifampicin. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer, assuming that it accounts for 29% of all new cancers in women (European Cancer Information System). The number of long-term survivors is increasing rapidly due to improving accuracy of the detecting methods, the early diagnosis and advances in cancer treatment. The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement Initiative described upper limb (UL) function as the health outcome that matters most for breast cancer survivors (BCS). 50% of BCS at 6 months post-radiotherapy suffer from of decreased UL function, i.e. difficulties in performing activities of daily living with the upper limb. Patients experiencing UL dysfunctions and other problems are less likely to be physically active. Given that physical inactivity is associated with an increased risk of mortality after breast cancer, taking away the barriers to physical activity (e.g. UL dysfunctions) is very important. Identifying these factors contributing to chronic UL dysfunction is important in terms of identifying targets for prospective evaluation and specific treatment approaches at specific time points during breast cancer treatment. This study aims to find reliable and valid assessment methods for the prognostic factors and upper limb function itself in a small group of BCS and healthy volunteers.
This is a Phase 2/3, multiregional, two-arm, double-blind, randomized, active (standard-of-care)-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an investigational central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). Participants may also qualify to enter an open-label treatment phase with DNL310 or idursulfase based on pre-specified criteria.
There are in total 3 cohorts. Cohort A: 16 patients will receive a daily dose of 80mg regorafenib up until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Dose can be escalated intra-patient up to 120 mg if no AE with a grad >1 at 28 days. Patients get a baseline evaluation and have a consultation every 2 weeks for evaluation during treatment. This evaluation consists out of lab tests, PET/CT (not bi-weekly), MRI (not bi-weekly) and physical evaluation. Primary endpoint is the anti-tumor activity, secondary endpoints are the Overall Survival Rate, Progression Free Survival and the incidence and severity of AE and Health-Related Quality of Life. Cohort-B: 16 patients who are being treated with BRAF-/MEK- inhibitors will receive additional daily regorafenib in combination with BRAF-/MEK inhibitors. Approved BRAF-/MEK- inhibitor combinations include dabrafenib/trametinib and encorafenib/binimetinib. An interruption of BRAF-/MEK-inhibitors dosing of maximum 4 weeks is allowed between the documentation of progression of disease on this therapy and the initiation of regorafenib study treatment. Dose of regorafenib is 40mg. Cohort-C: 16 patients in Cohort-C will have interrupted treatment with any BRAF- /MEK - inhibitor combination for at least 12 weeks prior to initiating study therapy with regorafenib. At the time of initiating regorafenib study treatment at 40mg, patients will also resume treatment with encorafenib/binimetinib at its standard dosing regimen. The first 6 patients enrolled in each Cohort (B, and -C) will be considered as a safety lead-in study population. If two or more serious treatment-related adverse events are observed among the first 6 patients, enrollment will be suspended (if applicable). The risk/benefit for continuing enrollment will be evaluated and an interim safety report will be provided to the Medical Ethics Committee of the UZ Brussel. If less than two serious treatment-related adverse events are observed, enrollment will be continued without interruption to complete the phase II objective.
Standard IVM currently contains urinary purified hormones which might contain contaminants possibly affecting maturation of embryo development. The investigators will test if the efficiency in terms of oocyte maturation after IVM of recombinant (without contaminants) is equivalent to urinary gonadotropins. Urinary and recombinant FSH and hCG will be used in equivalent bioactivity as measured in IU/ml and specified by the manufacturer. Sibling oocytes of the patient will be subjected to IVM medium containing urinary or recombinant gonadotropins. Oocyte maturation is the primary outcome, however, fertilization rate and preimplantation embryo development will be investigated.
The CUV152 study will evaluate the safety of afamelanotide in XP-C and XP-V patients, as well as the drug's ability to assist reparative processes following ultraviolet (UV) provoked DNA damage of the skin. It will assess whether SCENESSE® increases the amount of UV light needed to cause DNA damage of skin cells, as well as the extent of skin repair before and after treatment.
An open-label post authorization efficacy and safety study evaluating graft failure-free survival at 1-year in highly sensitized end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with positive crossmatch (XM) against a deceased donor prior to desensitized with imlifidase and subsequent kidney transplantation. Two non-comparative reference cohorts are included to assess the impact of differences in post-transplantation management and outcome in less sensitized patients.
Severe to profound hearing loss affects 0,8% of the global population. For these people, a conventional hearing aid often does not provide sufficient benefit. However, these people can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI). A CI needs to be individually programmed (fitted) for each recipient. A fitting "map" is defined as a set of electrical parameters that are individually adapted to a recipient's needs to achieve optimal sound perception. At present, most CI recipients are fitted with a default frequency allocation map that doesn't take individual variability in size and shape of the cochlea into account. In this study, a fitting strategy based on the post-operative CT scan, that will allow the audiologist to set a frequency-band distribution for CI fitting that may be more closely aligned to the natural tonotopic frequency distribution of a normal hearing cochlea, will be evaluated. This study will focus on patients that are already implanted with the HEARO robotic system.
The aim of this study proposal is to compare the effectiveness of two distinct pacing modalities for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Our primary hypothesis is that left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) using conventional stylet driven pacemaker leads is an effective resynchronization method that yield to at least similar clinical benefits and outcomes when compare to biventricular pacing.
