1. To establish whether serial exhaled breath analysis using eNose can detect invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with prolonged chemotherapy induced neutropenia (neutrophil counts <0.5 x 10^9 for more than 7 days).2. To establish…
Objective: The main objective is to establish the strength of the relationship between improvements in dyspnea and health related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) with the decrease in hyperinflation during the resolution of a COPD exacerbation in the…
Primary objective:To investigate the clinical response to treatment with curcumin and genistein in CF-patients with a class III S1251N mutation.. Secondary objectives:1.To evaluate the correlations between individual curcumin+genistein induced CFTR…
This study aims to determine whether the ILC populations differ in the lungs of different phenotypes of asthmatic patients and healthy subjects and how these cells are regulated by bronchial epithelial cells. Furthermore we want to study how this is…
The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of rituximab (RTX) as a rescue therapy for therapy resistant progressive IMID- IP patients. Specifically there is an objective assessment of (1) pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and (2)…
Demonstrate the safety and efficacy of ventilation with Ventrain® during 5 minutes. Safety is demonstrated if the peak pressure during insufflation does not exceed 25 cm H2O and PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure) is not smaller than -5 cm H2O…
The main aim of this study is to find out if the continuation of bevacizumab, in addition to standard 2nd & 3rd -line treatment, can help patients with NSCLC that has progressed to live longer. The study also aims to find out if continued…
Primary objective: To determine the safety of once daily inhalation of the recommended daily dose of tobramycin with the Akita® and the PARI-LC® Plus nebulizer in patients with CF. Systemic absorption can be used as surrogate parameter for safety.…
