Here, we postulate that the balance between the effect of belatacept on regulatory T-cell function and the relative insensitivity of memory T-cells for belatacept leads to donor-specific alloreactivity. We plan to study the peripheral CD28-dependent…
To prolong the dysphagia-free period and to reduce the number of endoscopic dilations for patients with newly diagnosed, untreated benign anastomotic strictures after esophagectomy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of different preventive strategies on the occurrence of macular edema after cataract surgery in non-diabetic and diabetic patients.
Scar volume and POSAS score will be measured in the Verapamil group, these will be compared to the scar volume and POSAS score in the Kenacort+Verapamil group and the Kenacort group. In addition, complications/ adverse effects will be reported.
The aim of this study is to investigate if conversion of tacrolimus-based immunosuppression to everolimus-based immunosuppression results in preservation of renal function as compared to continued tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. Apart from renal…
To compare in a prospective randomised way the effect of two different immunosuppressive regimens - mTOR-based regimen or CNI-based regimen - on the progression of coronary artery calcification in renal transplant patients measured at baseline, 1, 2…
To evaluate the use of concentration-controlled everolimus, with the reduction or the elimination of tacrolimus, to provide superior renal function and to provide non-inferior rates of the composite efficacy endpoint compared to the tacrolimus…
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of a therapy consisting Everolimus and corticosteroids maintenance immunosuppressive regime twelve months after renal transplantation in recipients of donor kidney graft on graft function and acute…
The aims of the current study are two-fold. First we will investigate whether a CYP3A5 genotype-based tacrolimus dosing strategy will result in improved clinical outcomes as compared with a standard tacrolimus dosing regimen based on bodyweight.…

To eassess the effect of a switch in immunosuppressive regimen and dosing regimen on renal function, blood pressure and laboratory parameters.To assess the effect on renal function, blood pressue and laboratory parameters of a switc from tacrolimus…
To investigate the safety and efficacy of a programmed introduction of a sirolimus based calcineurin inhibitor free maintenance immunosuppressive regime three months after renal transplantation in recipients of a non-heart-beating donor kidney graft…
With the goal of improving kidney function and without causing an increased number of rejections, is it possible to reduce tacrolimus dosage through the use of the previously-mentioned immunosupressives after month three.
We would like to investigate the efficiacy of the treatment of Trigger Fingers by means of a reliable, randomised, controlled, prospective multi-center trial at a large-scale with a long term follow-up. After completion of the trial we will be able…
Primary objective: To demonstrate superior renal allograft function in de novo renal transplant recipients after early CNI to everolimus conversion assessed by Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease…
To compare Savary dilation with saline 0.9% injections (placebo) with Savary dilation with triamcinolon injections in patients with benign anastomotic esophageal strictures
Objectives: A prospective, open label, randomized trial, in which we aim to achieve optimal immunosuppression after renal renal transplantation with maximal reduction of side effects, especially of vascular injury, chronic allograft nephropathy,…
To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of two concentration-controlled everolimus regimen in de novo liver transplant recipients at Month 36 post-transplantation.
Primary objectivesThe primary objective of the study is demonstrate that at least one of the sotrastaurin treatment arms is non-inferior to the active control regimen myfortic + tacrolimus with respect to composite efficacy failure (treated BPAR of…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether kidney transplant recipient suffering from a tacrolimus-induced tremor can benefit from switching from conventional tacrolimus to LCPT, a new extended release preparation of tacrolimus (…
