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.
A study involving primary data collection within real-world settings of participants who initiate treatment with tezepelumab for severe uncontrolled asthma. This study will complement evidence obtained from randomized controlled trials and provide new data focusing on the holistic and patient reported outcome (PRO).

Vitiligo is an acquired autoimmune skin disorder which leads to cutaneous depigmentations. A lot of progress has been made to unravel the pathophysiology of vitiligo. Several independent studies confirmed the elevated values of IL-17 in the serum of vitiligo patients and higher IL-17 values have been linked to a higher affected body surface area and a longer disease duration. The study will be a pilot trial with secukinumab in patients with active, non-segmental vitiligo. All patients will receive the active compound (= no placebo arm) as the purpose of the study is to investigate the potential efficacy of secukinumab in vitiligo.
This project will be based on an approach that has already proven itself in the field of the development of low-level visual functions such as visual acuity, vernier acuity and contrast sensitivity (Norcia & Tyler, 1985): scanning visual evoked potentials" (sVEP), a special case of steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP). While SSVEPs consist of presenting a visual stimulus periodically, sVEPs are SSVEPs where the value of a parameter (e.g. the contrast of the stimulus) varies. This variation ("scanning") makes it possible to determine the threshold value where an electroencephalographic (EEG) response is perceived, and thus to evaluate visual parameters such as visual acuity, vernier acuity and contrast sensitivity. In this study we therefore record the amplitude of the EEG electrical signal during the presentation of low-level stimuli such as spatial frequency gratings or increasing or decreasing contrast.
The purpose of this study is to understand if ARV-471 affects how a medicine called, dabigatran etexilate, gets absorbed or processed into the body in healthy adults. All participants in this study will receive one dose of dabigatran etexilate alone by mouth in Period 1. In Period 2, everyone will receive one dose of dabigatran etexilate by mouth approximately 90 minutes after receiving one dose of ARV-471 by mouth. The levels of dabigatran in Period 1 will be compared to the levels of dabigatran in Period 2. This will help us to determine if and how ARV-471 affects dabigatran gets absorbed into the body differently in healthy adults. All participants will stay at the study clinic for approximately 8 days and 7 nights.
ADEPPT is an international, multicentre, single-arm phase II trial. The protocol treatment consists of adagrasib, which is administered at a dose of 600 mg orally, twice daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity.The primary objective of this trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of adagrasib treatment, in terms of objective response, in patients with KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC, including the elderly (≥70 years) or patients with poor performance status (ECOG PS=2).
The aim of this study is to identify both the humoral immunological response through the detection of induced antibodies and the cellular immunological response through the detection of interferon gamma production by functional CD4+ and CD8+ cells in different groups of immunocompromised patients. For antibody detection, LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS assay (DiaSorin) will be used and for the evaluation of cellular immunity - QuantiFERON SARS-CoV-2 assay (QIAGEN).
The goal of this Phase 3 clinical trial is study the safety and efficacy of the nextgen anti-CTLA-4 antibody, gotistobart (ONC-392/BNT316), in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have disease progressed on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody based therapy. The study will test whether gotistobart, in comparison with chemotherapy agent docetaxel, could prolong the life for NSCLC patients. Patients will be randomized to be treated with either gotistobart or docetaxel, IV infusion, once every 21 days, for up to 17 cycles in approximately one year.
Current literature on prehabilitation is broad and heterogenous. Ploussard et al initiated a multimodal one-day prehabilitation program in patients before robotic radical prostatectomy involving urology nurses, anaesthetic nurses, oncology nurse specialists, anesthesiologists, dieticians, physiotherapists etc, and observed significant improvement in terms of reduction in length of stay, blood loss, and operative time, and an increase in the proportion of ambulant surgery. Santa Mina et al observed that patients following a home-based moderate-intensity exercise prehabilitation program prior to radical prostatectomy were more fit i.e have a greater score on the 6 minutes' walk test, four weeks postoperatively compared to a control group. Regrettably, this study couldn't demonstrate a difference in length of stay or complication rate. To date, evidence for efficacy of prehabilitation in gynaecological cancer patients is limited. Several reviews and a meta-analysis indicate that the level of evidence suggesting that prehabilitation may improve postoperative outcomes is low. Moreover, there is a wide variability in applied preoperative prehabilitation programs i.e, with a uni- or multimodal approach, home-based or supervised, differences in intensity and a variety of outcomes. Therefore, there is a need for randomized controlled trials with low risk of bias and clearly defined outcome parameters to clarify the potential benefit of prehabilitation for patients Hence, the primary goal of this randomized pilot study is to determine the feasibility of the implementation of a multimodal prehabilitation program in patients undergoing robotic oncologic urological or gynaecological surgery in a Belgian tertiary center in terms of protocol adherence and recruitment rate.
The present study will investigate the correlation between objective and subjective cognition in multiple sclerosis. The study will also investigate the impact of covariates such as fatigue and depression, the relationship with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and brain volumetrics as measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, the study will provide insights into patients' experiences with cognition, and the usability of the used objective cognitive assessments.
