ITI Research Grant Application 2021-1612: Alveolar ridge preservation with immediate or delayed implant placement: a multicenter randomized controlled trial Ghent University
Alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) can be combined with immediate implant placement (IIP) or delayed implant placement (DIP). Both approach have specific advantages and disadvantages, yet RCTs have not been published on the need for soft tissue augmentation.
The hypothesis is that ARP + IIP reduces the need for soft tissue augmentation since the peri-implant mucosa can be immediately supported with a provisional crown. In contrast, ARP ...
CHaT - Changing Tactics? Changing treatment technique in case of early nonresponse during ECT for major depression: a randomized trial. KU Leuven
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects one in six adults in their lifetime and imposes a considerable burden of disease on the patient. Despite the widespread use of antidepressant medication, after several treatment steps, at least a third of patients will fail to achieve remission. For patients with so-called difficult-to-treat depression, not responding to several augmentation or combination attempts, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has ...
ProBio: an outcome-adaptive, multi-arm, open-label, multiple assignment randomized biomarker-driven trial in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer Ghent University
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the Standard systemic therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer. Although initially beneficial, inevitably all patients will progress to the lethal castration-resistant state of the disease. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) affects approximately 1.500-2.000 men in Belgium every year. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and newer endocrine agents are available, but they are expensive and ...
