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…
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.
The present study is aimed at testing the effects of D-cycloserine in addition to exposure treatment sessions in PTSD patients, in a randomized double blind placebo controlled study.
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…
treatment outcome in OCD. Objective: The objective for this study is fourfold. First we will determine whether DCS addition to behavioural exposure therapy may enhance fear extinction and improve symptoms in OCD. Our hypothesis is that improvement…
The objective for this study is threefold. First we will determine whether DCS addition to behavioural exposure therapy may enhance fear extinction and improve symptoms in BDD. Our hypothesis is that improvement will occur and at a faster rate than…
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,…
The first aim of the study is to investigate whether DCS addition to exposure therapy enhances symptom reduction in PD+AGO. The second objective of the study is to establish the optimal timing of administration of DCS (30 minutes before or directly…
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 aim of this pilot-study is to establish the potential efficacy of acute doses of 50 mgs D-cycloserine (DCS), a partial NMDA agonist, in accelerating and/or augmenting the effect of exposure and response prevention (ERP) in the treatment 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 (…
Primary: to evaluate the effect of everolimus with reduced exposure CNI versus MPA with standard exposure CNI on the binary composite of treated biopsy-proven acute rejection (tBPAR) or eGFR < 50mL/min/1.73m2 at Month 12 post-transplantation.…
