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 first-in-human, open-label, uncontrolled, multi-center, monotherapy dose-escalation and dose expansion study of RO7444973.The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of RO7444973 in participants with unresectable and/or metastatic melanoma-associated antigen A4 (MAGE-A4)-positive, solid tumors, carrying the HLA-A*02:01 allele.
Cancer cachexia is defined as a weight loss of more than 5% over the last 6 months, a loss of body fat and muscle atrophy. It is found in 80% of patients with advanced cancer. In this context, white adipose tissue is a particularly interesting target since its depletion precedes the loss of muscle mass, and is sufficient to induce a decrease in the response to anti-cancer treatments and in the survival of patients. This cachexia is associated with advanced tumors that present acidosis and metastasis. In this clinical study the investigators would like explore the acid environment effect on the human adipose tissue depletion and more specifically on adipocyte lipolysis. The main objective of the "TuLip" clinical study is therefore to validate in human subcutaneous and visceral adipocytes that factors secreted by tumor cells cultivated in acid tumor environment stimulate the release of lipids from adipose tissue. Adipocytes retrieves from this study will also be used to validate identified potential lipolytic factors derived from these cells.
Patients with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have communicational difficulties to adapt their language to context and to interlocutors. These difficulties have long term impacts on education and social life of these patients. Speech language therapists (SLT) helps child and teenagers with pragmatic and communicational disorders. Nevertheless, few research evaluated the efficacy of such interventions. In the present research, the students will do a literature review to identify efficacy intervention's strategies of pragmatic disorders. Then, 2 to 5 patients, aged from 8 to 14 years old, with ASD or DLD and pragmatic disorders, and who haven't intellectual disorder will be recruited. They will come to the faculty of psychology of UCLouvain before the beginning of the intervention. In this pretest session, parents will answer questionnaires et children will have tests in order to evaluate their pragmatic abilities (during 30 minutes), like conversations, role plays, communication referential tasks, etc. This evaluation will be video recorded to code pragmatic abilities. Then, a group intervention of ten sessions will be proposed (1 session per week, 10 weeks). Activities will include role plays, conversations, etc. At the end of the intervention period, a post test session, like the pretest session, will be proposed to evaluate intervention efficacy. The design is multiple study cases. This is the best design to control efficacy of these kind of interventions considering the inter-individual variability of DLD and ASD patients. This study is original since few research evaluated the efficiency of pragmatic intervention. Some studies demonstrated the efficacy of pragmatic intervention in DLD and ASD patients but theses researches were conducted in English-speaking countries. Furthermore, the present research will propose a group intervention, which weren't proposed in the literature to our knowledge (individual intervention). If the group intervention is efficacy, the cost-benefice ratio would be interested.
All participants who completed the prior study to assess long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy, and in the opinion of the investigator, continue to have a positive risk:benefit profile, will be offered to enroll in this open-label extension (OLE) study for up to an additional 24 months of treatment. Approximately 63 participants will be offered to continue at the previously received dose of Recifercept either Low Dose Medium Dose High Dose or at the therapeutic dose once it is identified. Participants will attend the clinic monthly for 24 months. Assessments include safety, blood sampling, physical examination, vital signs, anthropometric body measurements & patient/caregiver quality of life questionnaires.
Molecular techniques for respiratory virus detection have already shown benefits in terms of sensitivity gained in comparison to conventional techniques. Recent progress has made it possible to shorten turnaround time (TAT) and to allow delivery of results in a timely manner, especially in comparison to cell culture and direct fluorescence assays (DFA). However, the cost of these molecular assays is usually not taken in charge by public health insurance system. This could be partly explained by the fact that molecular techniques have not clearly shown cost-effectiveness. Results of molecular tests for influenza viruses and RSV, if delivered rapidly, in the emergency room (ER), would most likely help avoid antibiotic use and ancillary test prescription, improve antiviral prescription and shorten length of stay in the ward by facilitating discharge or cohorting of hospitalized patients. The goal of this study is to assess the performances of Roche Cobas® Liat Influenza A/B & RSV assay, to appraise its clinical impact and to evaluate its cost effectiveness.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, of CC-97489
This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lerociclib in combination with standard endocrine therapy in female or male participants with HR+/HER2- MBC. The study population will consist of either newly diagnosed, treatment naïve participants with HR+/HER2- MBC (1L population) and participants with HR+/HER2- MBC who have already progressed on first line endocrine therapy such as tamoxifen, anastrozole, or letrozole (2L population). All premenopausal or perimenopausal female participants, and all male participants, must be receiving goserelin for at least 28 days prior to entering the study and will remain on goserelin throughout the study, in accordance with the prescribing information and according to the study site's standard practice.
Patients will be randomly assigned to a group where they undergo a 12-week lifestyle modification program prior to their fertility treatment, or a group where they are entitled to start their fertility treatment without prior lifestyle modification program.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the study drugs, magrolimab + venetoclax + azacitidine, versus placebo + venetoclax + azacitidine in participants with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not able to have chemotherapy.
This trial aims to measure the humoral and adaptive immune response in patients with cancer diagnosis undergoing mRNA vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and assess its efficacy in preventing COVID-19.
