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 study is a comparison between the current standard practice of performing a transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) with paracervical block (PCB) and a relatively recently developed technology of virtual reality that is added to the above mentioned standard practice of TVOR + PCB. The aim of the study is to find out whether this newer technology has an advantage for the patient, in terms of anxiety and pain reduction or satisfaction.
The purpose of this study is to provide ongoing access to study treatments for participants with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma benefiting from treatment in certain Janssen Research and Development (R&D) studies that use daratumumab as part of the study treatment regimen: access for all participants regardless of treatment group in daratumumab studies and access to participants in daratumumab-containing arms in the non-daratumumab studies will be allowed from studies which have reached clinical cutoff for final analysis. Certain long-term safety data will continue to be collected from study participants.
Recently, a new device for measuring physiological lesion severity, the pressure microcatheter, was introduced. The pressure microcatheter provides similar information to the conventional measurement technique but differs as it is easily advanced on a customary coronary wire and simplifies pullback maneuvers. The pressure microcatheter has been shown to provide comparable FFR results to pressure wires. Insightful-FFR is an investigator-driven, multicenter, randomized, open-label and prospective trial of patients with stable coronary artery disease or stabilised non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with epicardial stenosis considered for PCI aiming at comparing clinical outcomes between pressure microcatheter and pressure wire-guided strategies. The study hypothesis states that the use of a Pressure Microcatheter for clinical decision making would be non-inferior to pressure wire-based strategy After determining the presence of a coronary artery disease/ stabilized acute coronary syndrome, patients will be randomized to use a pressure microcatheter (investigational device) or a pressure wire (comparator) to guide and optimize percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients will be followed up in hospital at 12 months and yearly until five years.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of treatment with brepocitinib (TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two dose levels of brepocitinib in comparison to placebo, as measured by differences in the Total Improvement Score (TIS). After 52 weeks of double-blind treatment, participants have the option to continue therapy in a 52 week open-label extension phase where all participants will receive brepocitinib.
This study is designed as a randomised multicentric parallel group pragmatic trial of Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) versus Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in corneal endothelial decompensation. the purpose is to compare the clinical and patient reported outcomes of both therapies across a broad range of indications.
Carpal Tunnel (CT) syndrome is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following compression of the median nerve within the CT. In Trigger Finger / trigger thumb (TF), one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability, the flexor tendon causes painful popping or snapping as the patient flexes and extends the digit. In case of failure of non-operative treatments, patients with CT syndrome or TF are operated. Clearly any improvement in surgical device design would be of great advantage to the patient and the surgeon. Spirecut's single use, pre-CE Sono-Instruments (SI) allow the percutaneous treatment of Carpal Tunnel (CT)syndrome and Trigger Finger/thumb (TF) under sonography (instead of open or endoscopic approach). Two models will be assessed in this clinical investigation: 1. The Carpal Tunnel Sono-Instrument® (CT-SI), for CT syndrome release, by progressively cutting the transverse carpal ligament. 2. The Trigger Finger Sono-Instrument® (TF-SI), for TF release by progressively cutting the A1 annual pulley. Using those SI, surgical procedures can be performed without endangering adjacent structures (e.g. median nerve and branches, ulnar pedicle, superficial carpal arch, digital pedicles, flexor tendons).
Retrospective multicenter study analyzing data gathered from medical records and diabetes management platforms to assess the effect of using Insulin Degludec (Tresiba®) on measures of diabetes control. People with type 1 diabetes who switched to Insulin Degludec from another basal insulin between 1/5/2019 and 1/6/2021 will be included. Glycemic control from 12 months before the switch to Insulin Degludec will be compared to glycemic control of the 12 months after the switch.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence of macitentan on the primary pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters between the dispersible final market image (FMI) macitentan tablet and the opsumit tablet in healthy adult participants in fasted conditions.
To evaluate the relative merits, safety and effectiveness of pregabalin in globus patients compared with placebo.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of this bubble and surface oxygenation and to determine the optimal timing of surface oxygenation (continuous versus intermittent) as alternative for membrane-oxygenated kidneys, originating from DCD donors, during HMP on early graft function in clinical practice.
