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.
Given the widespread provision of grandparental child care, examining its impact on grandparents' energy-expenditure related behaviors in the broader context of health is imperative. The maintenance of functional independence and good quality of life is critical at a more advanced age. It has been put forward that an increased duration, frequency and intensity of physical activity (PA) combined with a restriction of sedentary behavior (SB) is the most important strategy to reduce morbidity risk and to foster health in an aging population. The present study aims to fill a gap in current knowledge on (changes in) caregiving grandparents' PA levels and SB patterns. An observational follow-up study will be conducted to examine and compare both energy-expenditure related behaviors linked to body composition and health-related quality of life among caregiving grandparents, non-caregiving grandparents and non-grandparent peers, both momentarily and over time. This fundamental research aims to provide scientific evidence contributing to the promotion of healthy grandparenting in people on the threshold of old age in modern society.
After a reconstructive procedure of the urethra, a transurethral catheter is usually left in place to allow adequate healing of the tissues without exposure to urine. After 7-21 days, depending on several variables (e.g. type of reconstruction, stricture etiology, …), removal of the transurethral catheter is foreseen. However, in order to do so, the clinician first wants to objectify whether the urethra has indeed healed sufficiently and therefore he/she can rely on early postoperative imaging. Up until today, there is no clear standard about when and how to do early postoperative imaging and current practices are mainly based on expert opinion and habit. Basically, two strategies can be found amongst different urethroplasty centers: peri-catheter retrograde urethrography (pcRUG) and voiding cysto-urethrography (VCUG). A pcRUG is performed by placing a small caliber tube (e.g. feeding tube 5 Fr) in the meatus urethrae of the patient, next to the transurethral catheter (which remains in place), and injecting contrast alongside the catheter. With a VCUG, contrast is injected through the transurethral catheter, up to the bladder. Thereafter, the catheter is removed and the patient is asked to urinate and thus to pass contrast through the urethra. The primary end-point of this study is to compare 'the rightful decision to maintain the catheter at the time of imaging' between pcRUG only and pcRUG followed by VCUG in a within-patient fashion.
The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works on top of a dual antiplatelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid +/- clopidogrel) in patients following a recent heart attack (myocardial infarction) that happens when a blood vessel in the heart suddenly becomes blocked. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor.
The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works on top of antiplatelet therapy in patients following a recent non cardioembolic ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot that has not formed in the heart travelled to the brain. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor.
The purpose of the study in healthy participants is to characterize the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of different single dose Oral Thin Film (OTF) (S)-ketamine formulations administered sublingually.
Idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (iOAB) is a prevalent condition in urological practice. The variability in management between specialists and between centers remains high. Even guidelines are not always clear on the treatment management of drug therapy resistant OAB. Standardization in OAB treatment is needed.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of Folate Receptor-Alpha (FRα). Patients will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. All patients will receive single-agent MIRV at 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight administered on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle.
This pilot study MOKHA is aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of HYMOVIS® on cartilage of patients suffering of knee osteoarthritis as revealed by using scientifically sound, objective measurements of biological and MRI-based imaging markers.
Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open label, double arm study to assess the performance of the KODEX-EPD PV occlusion viewer. This study includes patients with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled to undergo a cryo balloon ablation procedure for their atrial fibrillation.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 650 in adult participants and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
