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.
To characterize safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of QEQ278 in adult patients with advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and human papilloma virus associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of RO7303509 treatment in participants with systemic sclerosis (SSc) during a multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) portion of the trial. In the MAD phase, increasing doses of study drug will be tested sequentially. For each dose tested, the MAD stage will consist of a treatment period of 12 weeks followed by either a safety follow-up period of 13 weeks or continued treatment in an optional open-label safety extension (OSE) stage of 52 weeks to assess the long-term safety. All patients in the OSE stage will receive RO7303509 and no patient will receive placebo.
The current study aims to investigate the effect of walking with the SAIRE smart walker on spatiotemporal parameters and gait kinematics in a population who suffer from difficulties during gait, and compare this to walking with a standard walker or no walking aid.
This is a multicentre prospective cohort trial in adult and pediatric ICU patients. The investigators will measure the effect of a patient's inspiratory effort during mechanical ventilation on the lungs and diaphragm. The investigators will daily (for a maximum of 8 days) measure esophageal pressures with a balloon catheter to quantify inspiratory effort and respiratory muscle function, and perform daily ultrasound measurements of the diaphragm and the lungs. The investigators hypothesize that a small inspiratory effort will result in the preservation of diaphragm function and have no adverse effect on lung function.
The Motiva Flora® TE are intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage and are not intended for use beyond six (6) months. All Motiva Flora® TE's require periodic, incremental inflation with sterile saline for injection until the desired tissue amount is developed. After the desired volume, the expander is surgically removed and replaced with a long-term breast implant in the same space as the tissue expander. The study collects retrospective data on the use of the Motiva Flora TE, from patients who had a tissue expander-based-breast reconstruction using the Motiva Flora® TE since market introduction in May 2020.
The aim of the study is to determine if triptorelin formulated for use every 6 months (given twice during the study) is effective and safe for when given by injection under the skin for the treatment of adult males with cancer in the prostate.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat children who have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is long-term kidney disease, and proteinuria, a condition in which a person´s kidneys leak protein into the urine. The kidneys filter waste and fluid from the blood to form urine. In children with CKD, the kidney´s filters do not work as well as they should. This can lead to accumulation of waste and fluid in the body and proteinuria. CKD can lead to other medical problems, such as high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Vice versa, hypertension and proteinuria can also contribute to worsening of CKD. Therefore, the treatment of CKD aims to control blood pressure and proteinuria. There are treatments available for doctors to prescribe to children with CKD and hypertension and/or proteinuria. These include "angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors" (ACEI) and "angiotensin receptor blockers" (ARB). Both ACEI and ARB can help improve kidney function by reducing the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The RAAS is a system that works with the kidneys to control blood pressure and the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the blood. In people with CKD, the RAAS is often too active, which can impair the ability of the kidneys to work properly and cause hypertension and proteinuria. However, ACEI or ARB treatment alone does not work for all patients with CKD as they only target the angiotensin part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The study treatment, finerenone, is expected to help control RAAS overactivation together with an ACEI or ARB. So, the researchers in this study want to learn more about whether finerenone given in addition to either an ACEI or ARB can help their kidney function. The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe the treatment is when used of finerenone in addition to an ACEI or ARB in long-term. To see how safe the treatment is, the study team will collect information on medical problems which are also known as "treatment emergent adverse events" (TEAEs). And they will also collect levels of an electrolyte called potassium in the blood by taking blood samples, and measure blood pressure during the study. The secondary purpose of this study is to learn how well long-term use of finerenone can reduce the amount of protein in the participants' urine and benefit kidney function when taken with standard of care. To see how the treatment works, the study team will collect participants' urine samples to assess urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), which are important assessments for calculating the level of protein in the urine. Researchers will also collect blood samples to analyze serum creatinine and calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). A significant decline in eGFR indicates worsening kidney function. The study will include participants who had previously participated in FIONA study (NCT05196035). The participants will be aged from 1 year up to 18 years. The participants will be in the study for approximately 19 months. They will take study treatment for up to 18 months and will be follow up for 1 month. During this period, at least 12 visits are planned for patients who newly start finerenone, and at least 8 visits for patients who already received finerenone. In the visit, the study team will: - have their blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, height and weight measured - have blood and urine samples taken - have physical examinations - have their heart examined by an electrocardiogram and echocardiography (a sonogram of the heart) - answer questions about their medication and whether they have any adverse events, or have their parents or guardian's answer - answer questions about how they are feeling, or have their parents or guardian's answer - answer question about how they like the study medication, or have their parents or guardian's answer The doctors will keep track of any adverse events. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. The doctors will check the participants' health about 30 days after the participants take their last treatment.
IMGN853-0420 is a multicenter, open-label, phase 2 study of carboplatin plus mirvetuximab soravtansine followed by mirvetuximab soravtansine continuation in folate receptor-alpha positive, recurrent platinum sensitive, high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer following 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy.
Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is a disabling injury that is common in running athletes. Exercise therapy is considered the best treatment option, but there is still no agreement on the modalities. For example, it is thought that compression overload may be a major cause of tendinopathy and should therefore be restricted during rehabilitation. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion and not on hard scientific evidence. Therefore, this randomised controlled trial (RCT) will investigate whether a therapy that limits the amount of compression of the tendon during a progressive tendon-loading rehabilitation protocol actually has better outcomes in athletes with insertional Achilles tendinopathy. 40 athletes with insertional Achilles tendinopathy will be randomised into two treatment groups; (1) an experimental 12-week rehabilitation protocol in which the amount of tendon compression is limited and (2) a 12-week control rehabilitation protocol in which the amount of tendon compression is not limited and is rather high. Both treatments consist of supervised progressive tendon-loading exercise therapy and patient education. In addition, the experimental group will also receive heel inserts to limit the amount of dorsiflexion during sports or daily activities. At baseline, at 12 weeks (end of intervention) and at 24 weeks (follow-up), pain, functionality, structure and intratendinous pressure will be determined.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of aticaprant compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant in improving depressive symptoms in adult participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) with moderate-to-severe anhedonia (ANH+) who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
