The objective is to sequentially test, validate, obtain regulatory approval for, and deploy at home, a closed-loop Control-to-Range (CTR) system comprising two algorithmic components: a Safety Supervision Module (SSM) and an automated Range…
This study primarily aims to explore changes in physical activity pattern and energy expenditure in head and neck cancer patients, during and after treatment with surgery with or without (chemo)radiation. The secondary aim of this study is to gain…
To provide insight in the physiological significance and underlying mechanisms involved in the relation between gut microbiota, energy balance and insulin sensitivity in overweight men with impaired glucose homeostasis
The purpose of this study is to determine whether LCQ908 is effective and safe in lowering triglycerides in subjects with FCS (HLP type I).
