Progress in funded studies
We are happy to announce the following important milestones have been reached in the trials listed below:
| 3 long covid studies FPI |
|
First patients have been included in the three long covid studies assessing treatments for long-COVID: UNLOCK (Pr De Waele UZB), PuReCOVID (Pr Lapperre UZA) and CovCOG (Pr Willems U Liège). |
| TreatPaCS FPI |
Treatment for preschool age children who stutter: A randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority parallel group pragmatic trial with Mini-KIDS, social cognitive behaviour treatment and the Lidcombe Program. The chief investigator is Sabine Van Eerdenbrugh from the Thomas More Mechelen-Antwerpen vzw. 249 children will be recruited in 30 practices of speech therapists. | |
| COGENIUS FPI |
Comparison of conventional and cooled radiofrequency treatment of the genicular nerves versus sham procedure for patients with chronic knee pain. The Chief Investigator is Prof. Jan van Zundert from ZOL. The study will randomise 200 OA and 200 PPSP patients between 3 arms. |
|
| RenoMet Recruitment complete |
Metformin as RenoProtector Progressive Chronic Kidney Disease. Recruitment of the RenoMet study was closed beginning of June. The study was heavily impacted by COVID-19 but could continue thanks to the efforts of the whole team and active collaborating centers. The study now enters the second phase where the retention of patients in the study will be the main challenge. |
|
| IODA Pilot Recruitment complete |
Feasibility study for an RCT comparing Immediate versus Optional Delayed surgical repair for treatment of acute anterior cruciate ligament injury. This pilot study stopped recruiting end of April and feasibility results were analysed in light of a full RCT. Also this study was heavily impacted by COVID-19 as elective surgery was postponed and sports activities suspended. Preparations are ongoing to set-up a full RCT building on the data and experience of the pilot trial. |
