The objectives of this study are:* To determine the percentage of patients with recent-onset RA and UA who achieve and maintain clinical remission on treatment with a combination of methotrexate 25 mg/week and extended prednisone pulse (tapered high…
Primary: To assess the effects of visilizumab on the safety of subsequent salvage therapies in subjects who experienced disease progression in a previous visilizumab study and subsequently received salvage therapy (see Definitions).Subjects will be…
Exploring the incidence of fatigue after sarcoidosis, its severity and nature. Next we will try to associate fatigue with capacity to produce pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.Our secondary objective is testing the activity of the HPA-axis, the…
To show that treatment with SUBLIVAC® Grasses is clinically effective by means of reduction in allergic symptoms and/or use of allergic symptomatic medication in subjects suffering from IgE mediated allergic complaints triggered by grass pollen.
The main aim of this follow-up study is to assess the incidence of respiratory disorders, like allergy, asthma and asthma like-syndrome, in association with the interaction of environmental and genetic risk factors in veterinary students. In order…
Investigating the safety of adalimumab when administered in subjects with Crohn*s Disease as well as evaulating the efficacy of adalimumab for the induction and maintenance of clinical remission and fistula closure in subjects with moderate to…
This pilot study will be performed to investigate whether the cantharidin-induced blister method is a useful alternative for the vacuum blister method in patients with acute or chronic CRPS.Replacement of the vacuum blister method by the filter disc…
Primary aimTo evaluate the effects of peginterferon and ribavirin therapy on the immune response in chronic HCV genotype 1 patients before, during and after treatment.Secondary aims1. To determine if differential modulation of Treg activity or DC…
Primary: To prove that infliximab in combination with azathioprine is superior to azathioprine alone in rapidly inducing a meaningful renal improvement, defined as a reduction in preoteinuria of at least 50%, in patients with membranous SLE…
Identification of low allergenic apple cultivars and breeding germplasmIdentification of chains in which low allergenicity is preserved and of the critical steps in the chain for preserving low allergenicity.
Our purpose is to establish whether the frequently observed absence of tumor regression in the presence of infiltrating T lymphocytes is due to a lack of T cell effector function or due to an inhibitory influence of the tumor microenvironment on T…
Research questions:Is the chronic inflammatory response in COPD caused by a dysfunction of regulatory T cells?1. Is the number of Tregs decreased in COPD?2. Is the function of the Tregs impaired in COPD? And if so,a. Is this associated with a…
Research question: Is a group-based, multidisciplinary treatment programme more effective than usual care in patients with systemic sclerosis?
To assess the rates of preliminary response and sustained remission of AASV following rituximab (on the basis of former studies, 86% sustained remission expected with rituximab compared to 75% in control group).To assess safety of a rituximab…
The primary objectives are:* to determine the effect of steady-state concentrations of TMC114 coadministered with a lowdose of ritonavir on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of ddI,* to determine the effect of steady-state concentrations of ddI on…
The main aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of allergic and non-allergic health problems in veterinary students in different phases of the veterinary education. On later stage, genetic predisposition for allergies will be studied. In the…
This is the first study of MLN3897 in any disease population. It seeks to establish:1) The ability of MLN3897 to modify the signs and symptoms of RA.2)The safety and tolerability of MLN3897 in combination with MTX.3)The PK/PD profile of MLN3897 in…
The general objective of this study is to elucidate the cellular components for HIV-1 infection in children.
