The aim of this study is to investigate if conversion of tacrolimus-based immunosuppression to everolimus-based immunosuppression results in preservation of renal function as compared to continued tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. Apart from renal…
The aims of the current study are two-fold. First we will investigate whether a CYP3A5 genotype-based tacrolimus dosing strategy will result in improved clinical outcomes as compared with a standard tacrolimus dosing regimen based on bodyweight.…
To compare in a prospective randomised way the effect of two different immunosuppressive regimens - mTOR-based regimen or CNI-based regimen - on the progression of coronary artery calcification in renal transplant patients measured at baseline, 1, 2…
To evaluate the use of concentration-controlled everolimus, with the reduction or the elimination of tacrolimus, to provide superior renal function and to provide non-inferior rates of the composite efficacy endpoint compared to the tacrolimus…
Our primary objective is to determine whether blocking of IL-1 by recombinant human IL-1ra (anakinra) in insulin resistant patients improves insulin sensitivity. Secondary objectives are to determine the effect of IL-1 blockade on pancreatic beta-…
Primary: Period II (Week 8 to Week 16)1. To demonstrate the additional antihypertensive efficacy for seated diastolic blood pressure (SeDBP) gained by adding HCTZ 12.5 or 25 mg to the treatment regimen in subjects with moderate to severe HTN not…
Our primary objective is to determine whether blocking IL-1β by recombinant human IL-1ra (anakinra) improves beta-cell function in subjects with β-cell dysfunction.
Primary objective: - evaluation and comparison of the intra- and interpatient variability for the Area under the curve (AUC) of orally administered Tac BID and Tac QD in stable renal transplant patients. Secondary objective: - evaluation and…
To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of two concentration-controlled everolimus regimen in de novo liver transplant recipients at Month 36 post-transplantation.
To eassess the effect of a switch in immunosuppressive regimen and dosing regimen on renal function, blood pressure and laboratory parameters.To assess the effect on renal function, blood pressue and laboratory parameters of a switc from tacrolimus…
To investigate the safety and efficacy of a programmed introduction of a sirolimus based calcineurin inhibitor free maintenance immunosuppressive regime three months after renal transplantation in recipients of a non-heart-beating donor kidney graft…
The aim of the Anti-Interleukin-1 in Diabetes Action trial (AIDA) study is to test the feasibility, safety/tolerability and potential efficacy of anti-IL-1 therapy in maintaining or enhancing beta-cell function in people with new-onset Type 1…
Determine whether blockade of IL-1 had positive effects on insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetic subjects without residual beta cel function
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of anakinra in patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan (HDM) in the preparation for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The primary endpoint is the…
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anakinra in patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan (HDM) in the preparation for an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Secondary objectives…
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the utility and safetyof the IFN-γ ELISPOT marker for the stratification of kidney transplantrecipients into low and high IS regimens. The enrichment study will testnon-inferiority of low IS regimen…
Here, we postulate that the balance between the effect of belatacept on regulatory T-cell function and the relative insensitivity of memory T-cells for belatacept leads to donor-specific alloreactivity. We plan to study the peripheral CD28-dependent…
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…
PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether sequential therapy with tacrolimus for 9 months (6 months of full therapy and 3 months of tapering doses) followed by a dose of RTX leads to a greater increase in the proportion of primary MN patients with…
The current project proposal continues on our findings of the performed prospective cohort study, aiming to develop a biomarker guided stop strategy for the use of rIL-1RA in sJIA: short and targeted therapy early in the disease course with a yet…
