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.
The main objective is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of MAD therapy as a first line treatment, including both efficacy in terms of reduction in OSA severity as well as objective compliance, in patients recently diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA, waiting for a new CPAP device. Upon completion of MAD-therapy, patients will be put on CPAP, allowing for comparison of MAD effectiveness versus the overall therapeutic effectiveness of CPAP therapy in the same patient. Finally, patients' preference for either therapy will be evaluated.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a pneumococcal 21-valent conjugate vaccine (V116) in persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), for the prevention of pneumococcal disease caused by the serotypes in the vaccine.
Cardiovascular events remain a major driver of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diffuse coronary atherosclerosis, combined with impairment of the microcirculation are frequent even in asymptomatic patients and can lead to unfavourable outcomes. In recent years, novel classes of antidiabetic drugs have been introduced, with salutary effects on cardiovascular outcomes of diabetic patients. The sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors - gliflozins - bind to the SGLT2 receptors of the proximal tubule of the nephron and cause glycosuria. They have been shown to have favourable cardiovascular effects by reducing deaths from cardiovascular causes in type 2 diabetic patients. Moreover, dapagliflozin reduces hospitalisation for heart failure in type 2 diabetic heart failure patients with and without reduced ejection fraction and reduces cardiovascular death and all causes mortality in those with reduced ejection fraction. It is currently unknown if this is mediated by improvement of coronary physiology both at the level of the epicardial coronary arteries as well as the coronary microcirculation. The purpose of the study is to explore the impact of dapagliflozin on the coronary and microcirculatory function of type 2 diabetic patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the rate and extent of absorption of a single oral dose of macitentan given as 2 test formulations compared to the reference formulation under fed conditions in healthy adult participants.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of donidalorsen in people with HAE and the effects of donidalorsen on the number of HAE attacks and their impact on quality of life (QoL).
Literature regarding effects of goiter on the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains scarce. Reports have described cases of OSA in patients suffering from goiters, resolved after thyroidectomy. It has been recently shown that goiters of a total volume exceeding 25 mL leads to >30% tracheal compression. The aims of the present study is to assess 1) the prevalence of OSA in patients suffering from goiters and planned for thyroidectomy 2) the role of thyroidectomy in OSA resolution in patients suffering from pre-operative OSA 3) the identification of predictors for persisting OSA.
To evaluate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of an artificial intelligence based diabetic retinopathy screening program in Flanders
The study proposes to measure the effect of resitance training (RT) (3/7 method) on biological markers of muscle hypertrophy in a cardiac population. 3/7 method consisting of five sets of an increasing number of repetitions (3 to 7) during successive sets and brief inter-set intervals (15 s). This method is compare to 3X9 method, 3 series of 9 repetitions with inter-set (1min).The training exercise consisted of contraction on machine (leg press, triceps press, leg curl, traction, leg extension) with load of ~ 70% of one repetition maximal (1RM). Before these trainings all subject perform HIIT on bicycles (2 min high intensity (80% Wmax) and 2 min low intensity (50% Wmax) during 30 minutes. The investigators collect blood sample before exercice, after HIIT and after RT. It is randomized cross-over study.

Non-randomized, open label, non-interventional, multicenter registry to describe risk factors, management strategies, and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing Valve in Valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in a previously implanted Trifecta or Epic valve using retrospective registry data from large volume centers
