Autonomous At Home with Occupational Therapy Support and Assistive Devices

Background The BCM2.0 programme provides occupational therapy sessions and assistive devices to support older people who want to age in place. The investigators designed the AUDACE evaluation to improve understanding of the programme and its effectiveness, and to promote a favourable context for the professional empowerment of occupational therapists as primary care providers. Methods The investigators involved home care occupational therapists at every stage of the protocol design to ensure that the tools, training, and organisational structures put in place for the evaluation could also form the basis of their routine practice, harmonising their practices, ethos and processes. The investigators designed a realist mixed methods evaluation to answer the following question: "How, for whom and why do assistive devices, integrated with occupational therapy support, enable older people to remain at home, and under what conditions?" Interrelated components addressed different research sub-questions: (1a) To describe the evaluation population, interventions, and contexts: a descriptive quantitative study using baseline data from all BCM2.0 beneficiaries. (1b) To describe the frailty process in older people receiving the programme: a qualitative study using semi-structured individual interviews with a biographical dimension. (2) To explore the enrolment process: focus groups with occupational therapists, following a realist approach. (3) To assess effectiveness: a prospective cohort study with up to 12 months follow-up of all BCM2.0 beneficiaries. (4) To identify barriers and facilitators to implementation: multiple nested case study in five areas, using a realist approach. (5) To build a learning community to clarify ethical considerations: communities of practice meetings.

A Study of Maribavir in Adults With Post-transplant Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in Belgium

Study of JK06 in Patients with Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Cancer

This Phase 1/2, open label, dose escalation and cohort expansion study is designed to evaluate and characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of JK06 administered intravenously (IV) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic cancer. The study consists of a Dose Escalation phase to determine the MTD/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of JK06, followed by a Cohort Expansion phase to further define the safety and initial efficacy of JK06 in tumor specific cohorts.

Improving Patient Safety by Supporting Older Adults in Managing Sleep Problems.

Background: Use of Benzodiazepine and Sedative Hypnotics (BSHs) is one of the three overuse practices measured by the OECD. BSH use has been reported to be as high as 15-30% in older adults with 87% taking BSHs for sleep problems. Use of BSHs is associated with significant adverse effects such as falls, fractures, hospitalisations, impaired functioning, delirium, dementia and mortality and therefore threatens patient safety. This applies especially to older adults as they are more susceptible to adverse effects due to changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics associated with age and to the frequent presence of polypharmacy and comorbidities. Design: Multicenter, superiority (first co-primary endpoint) and non-inferiority (second co-primary endpoint) cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) conducted in six countries across Europe (Belgium, Greece Norway, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland). Participating physicians will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio in clusters to either the intervention group (with training and additional material to overcome sleeping problems and to help participants discontinue BSH) or the control group (treatment according to standard of care without training or additional material). Eligible patients will be enrolled with their treating physician defined as the cluster. Outcome assessment will be blinded.

Study of Navtemadlin Add-on to Ruxolitinib in JAK Inhibitor-Naïve Patients with Myelofibrosis Who Have a Suboptimal Response to Ruxolitinib

Study of Mosunetuzumab Plus Lenalidomide Compared to Anti-CD20 Anti-body + Chemotherapy in Follicular Lymphoma FLIPI2-5

This study is a phase III, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter, interventional trial, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of mosunetuzumab in combination with lenalidomide versus anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) plus chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) 2-5 follicular lymphoma This study is composed of a screening period (up to 6 weeks before randomization, i.e., 42 days), a treatment period (30 months i.e., 125w), a safety follow-up period (90 days i.e., 3 months), and a survival follow-up period (up to 7 years after the last randomized patient). The enrollment will last approximately 34 months. The total duration of the study will be therefore approximately 10 years. Once a patient provides written consent, they may enter the screening phase, with a duration up to 6 weeks prior to randomization and initiation of treatment. Upon completion of the required assessments in the screening phase, and fulfillment of the eligibility criteria, patients will be randomized. Investigators will be requested to indicate their treatment choice among permitted immuno-chemotherapy regimens just before randomization. The treatment period for each patient starts with the first intake. The patients will receive protocol-specified treatments until: - inability to achieve a response at the end of induction phase (at M12 evaluation for experimental arm, and at M6 evaluation for control arms), - relapse or progression of the disease, - withdrawal of consent, - or unacceptable toxicity In the experimental arm, patients will be treated for 1 cycle of 3 weeks for mosunetuzumab and then 11 cycles of 4 weeks for mosunetuzumab and lenalidomide (47 weeks, around 11 months) during the induction phase, and for a maximum of 9 additional cycles of 8 weeks during the maintenance phase (72 weeks, around 17 months), up to around 125 weeks (30 months). Patients should start the maintenance phase 7 to 8 weeks after the start of last induction cycle (C12). In the control arm, patients will be treated for 8 or 6 cycles of 3 or 4 weeks for anti-CD20 mAb +cyclophosphamide-doxorubicine-vincristine-prednisone (CHOP) or anti-CD20 mAb + Bendamustine, respectively, depending on the assigned arm (24 weeks, around 5 months) during the induction phase, and for a maximum of 12 additional cycles of 8 weeks during the maintenance phase (96 weeks, around 22 months), up to around 125 weeks (30 months). Patients should start the maintenance phase, 6 to 7 or 7 to 8 weeks after the start of last induction cycle (C8 or C6). The option to cross-over from the control arm to the experimental arm is not allowed. All randomized patients will be followed for progression-free survival and overall survival using the same schedule. Patients will be followed up from End of treatment evaluation every 3 months during the first two years, then every 6 months during the next 3 years, then yearly until the end of study. The end of study will occur when all randomized patients have been followed-up for survival for at least 7 years (or discontinued study early).

Immunotherapy Consolidation After Radical Treatment of Synchronous Oligo-metastatic NSCLC

Colchicine in Belgium in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

This is a prospective, randomised, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled phase III pragmatic superiority trial comparing colchicine 0.5 mg with placebo administered orally once-daily in up to 2770 participants with CAD treated with PCI. Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either colchicine 0.5 mg or placebo as an adjunct to standard of care. The trial is event driven with trial closure being performed when the targeted number of 566 primary endpoint events has been reached. Participants will be seen by the site staff 1 month after randomisation and thereafter every 12 months as per standard of care (SOC) and for IMP dispense and compliance, completing questionnaires and outcome event assessment until end of study. After the first month, a telephone visit will be scheduled every 6 months in between two standard of care on-site visits.
