Primary objective: To demonstrate the superiority of QVA 110/50 µg compared to both QAB149 150 µg and NVA237 50 µg in terms of trough FEV1 (mean of 23 h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post-dose) following 26 weeks of treatment in patients with moderate to…
Although these products have been used extensively in patients, the effect of these medications on experimental pain sensation has never been investigated. There is little knowledge about any direct effect of these medications on pain perception. In…
Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of oral dipyridamole treatment on the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines will be…
Main study:1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients.2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced mi-crovascular effects in…
Primary objectivesTo confirm that NVA237 50µg o.d. (delivered via a SDDPI) vs. placebo significantly increases trough FEV1 (defined as mean evaluation at 23 h 15 min and 23 h 45 min post dose) following 12 weeks of treatment in patients with…
Primary objectiveTo evaluate the relationship of incremental doses of NVA237 q.d. and b.i.d. and their effect on trough FEV1 after 28 days of treatment, as defined by the percentage of the maximal effect that each dose achieves in relation to the…
The primary objective of the study is to determine concentration of circulation cytokines na administration of LPS in the presence of iron sucrose (Venofer®), Deferasirox (Exjade®) of placebo.
We aim to study the vasoactive effects of Acetylcholine (NO dependent) in hypertensive patients and normotensive participants. Second, the correlation between the vasoreactivity of Acetylcholine and Angiotensin II will be studied. Third, the…
The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of atazanavir-induced hyperbilirubinemia on systemic activation of the innate immune response induced by human endotoxemia.Secondary objectives are:- To determine if the vascular…
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
