LifEStyle Intervention to Enhance Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer
LESLIE is a multicentric randomized controlled trial in patients with triple negative breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemo/immunotherapy (NAT). This trial investigates the...
Quilting Sutures After Mastectomy
The use of wound drains after mastectomy is common practice in Belgium. However, placement of suction drainage has several disadvantages. Skin bacteria can enter via the drain and...
Prospective Collection of Clinical Data and Human Body Material (HBM) of Cutaneous Melanoma and Non Melanoma Patients....
The goal of this clinical trial is to set up a prospective, fit-for-purpose collection of human body material (HBM)-blood (serum, plasma, DNA) and tissue-and standardized clinical...
Phase II RAINSPOT: Zolbetuximab-Paclitaxel-Ramucirumab for CLDN18.2 Positive Gastro-esophageal Cancer
This study examines whether adding the drug Zolbetuximab to an existing treatment (Paclitaxel and Ramucirumab) can improve patients' survival. The goal is to see if this...
Liquid Biopsies in Esophageal Cancer
Purpose of this study is to determine the value of liquid biopsies, e.g. testing of minimal residual disease (MRD) by using liquid biopsies to measure circulating tumour DNA...
Register With Patients in Which Hyperthermic Intra-Peritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Was Performed
The purpose of this study is to register the follow-up data of patients who, because of a peritoneal surface malignancy, will undergo cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.
fMRI in Deep Brain Stimulation
With fMRI, we want to understand the mechanisms of brain neuromodulation in (dys)functional brain circuits, to obtain knowledge on involved brain networks in DBS.
Ultra-High Resolution PET in Aging, Neurodegeneration and Psychotic Disorders
The goal of this study is to use ultra-high-resolution (UHR) PET imaging to better understand how the brain and spinal cord change in healthy aging and in neurological and...
Connectivity and Neural Signatures of Consciousness in Unresponsive States
The CONSCIUS study is a prospective, interventional study including patients with acute brain injury and impaired consciousness implanted with intracranial electrodes. The aim of...
Longitudinal SV2A and MRI in Premanifest HD
AIM: to compare the sensitivity of SV2A PET and volumetric MRI to detect longitudinal striatal changes in premanifest HD. DESIGN: The investigators will include late premanifest...
Comparison Between [11C]UCB-J and [18F]SynVest-1 PET in HD.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique, which enables in vivo visualization of biological molecules expressed in human tissues. Brain PET is most...
AMEND-CRT: Mechanical Dyssynchrony as Selection Criterion for CRT
Previous experience with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates suggests that selection of these patients can be improved. Current clinical guideline approaches are...
Genes Associated With Development of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Patients With Congenital Shunt Lesions
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with considerable morbidity and even mortality. Next to environmental risk...
Peripheral Artery Tonometry in Children With Type 1 Diabetes and Obese Children
Background: The reactive hyperemia-peripheral artery tonometry (RH-PAT) is a newly developed method for noninvasive endothelial function assessment. Objective: The goal of this...
Psychiatric Neurosurgery (PNS) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): A Qualitative Analysis of Patient and Family...
In this study the investigators will use semi-structured interviews to qualitatively analyse patient and family member experiences with either deep brain stimulation or other...
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Improving Targeting Precision
When comparing targeting precision between DBS in parkinsonian patients and OCD patients, an unexpected deviation from the planned targets was discovered in OCD patients (Nuttin...
Effect of Quinine Hydrochloride in Overweight Population on Food Intake, Hunger and Gut Peptide Release
The worldwide increase in the prevalence of obesity is a cause of great concern. Pharmacological treatment options are being explored at the moment with a major focus on the...
Sleep-disordered Breathing After Solid Organ Transplantation
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) describes a group of disorders in which partial or complete cessation of breathing occurs many times throughout the night, resulting in daytime...
Variability in Nocturnal Oxygen Parameters in Suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
The investigators would like to evaluate the variability of oxygen (and PPG) parameters during 7 nights at home. Oxygen (and PPG) parameters will also be evaluated during 1 night...
In-depth Immunological Investigation of COVID-19.
The COntAGIouS trial (COvid-19 Advanced Genetic and Immunologic Sampling; an in-depth characterization of the dynamic host immune response to coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) proposes a...
Dysfunction of Olfaction After COVID-19 Infection: Morphological and Histomolecular Investigation
Investigation of the mechanisms of persistent SARS-CoV-2 associated olfactory dysfunction (OD) in patients with well-documented olfactory function. The investigators plan to...
Influenza Associated Aspergillosis In-depth Investigation
This trial is aimed to study the immunological and pathological characteristics of influenza versus non-influenza severe community-acquired pneumonia patients in ICU.
