To evalute the efficacy of rituximab in comparison to continued corticosteroid treatment in ipatients with diopathic nephrotic syndrome unresponsive to 8 weeks of high dose prednisolone.
The objective of this study is to assess whether sitagliptin may prevent prednisolone-induced impairment of glucose metabolism and beta-cell function.
We propose to investigate the effect of administering a broad-acting, potent immune suppressive agent early in the course of the disease as this may prevent neuronal damage caused by low-grade inflammatory processes in the brain. It is expected that…
To examine the difference in gene expression profiles of ASM in bronchial biopsy specimens between asthmatic patients, non-asthmatic allergic and non-asthmatic non-allergic controls.To associate the gene expression profiles with airway…
In this trial we will study if treatment with oral corticosteroids or DMSO is effective in decreasing signs and symptoms of CRPS-1. Tolerance of the treatment options and effects on different subtypes of CRPS-1 patients will be evaluated as well.
To assess the effects of a 7-day course of 30 mg prednisolone daily in addition to usual care (symptomatic) treatment in adults with RS.
Primary objective:To compare the clinical benifit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have failed one or two chemotherapy regimens, one of…
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.
This study is designed to demonstrate equal therapeutic effect of Myfortic® as compared to MMF in this patient group, thus improving therapeutic efficacy.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of TAC with MMF as a second line treatment for AIH. Proportion of patients with CR after 12 months of treatment will be the primary outcome parameter to determine effectivity.
This study consists of two periods. The objective of Period 1 is to evaluate the efficacy of upadacitinib in combination with a 26-week corticosteroid (CS) taper regimen compared to placebo in combination with a 52-week CS taper regimen, as measured…
To determine the efficacy of a short high-dose treatment of oral prednisolone for persistent loss of smell after COVID-19 infection in the long term (>12 weeks). ADD: determining the clinical course/natural recovery of loss of smell and taste…
To assess the safety and efficacy of ABBV-154 versus placebo in subjects with PMR, who are dependent on treatment with glucocorticoids withdoses of at least 5 mg/day prednisone equivalent (glucocorticoindependent PMR).
Recent studies show that treatment schedules of the first episode can safely be reduced (Hahn et al., 2015; Hoyer,2015), which may reduce steroid toxicity. The hypothesis of the REducing STEroids in Relapsing Nephroticsyndrome (RESTERN) study is…
The primary aim of this research is to demonstrate the noninferiority of anakinra compared with the standard of care in the treatment of acute gout flares.Secondary objectives are to compare the cost per quality-adjusted life day between anakinra…

To examine the effects and safety of methylprednisolone combined with diazoxide on the progression of type 1 diabetes at the onset of disease
Primair1. Assessment of the pharmacological activity of BAY·1834845 and BAY 1830839 on IMQ induced skin inflammation compared to placebo (prednisolone serves as active control), as quantified by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI, perfusion/basal…
To study whether polytherapy (methotrexate plus sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine) results in more patients with inactive disease and therefore less patients who need treatment with a TNF inhibitor after 6 months of treatment compared to primary…
