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-…
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.
In this study we attempt to determine if there is any difference between cannulation of the RIJV using the blind landmark technique or the ultrasound technique performed by a trainee in anesthesia (in his/her second year of education) with…
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…
Primary objective: To validate mpUS as imaging modality for detection and localization of prostate cancer by direct correlation of mpUS imaging and its parameters with histopathology of the resected prostate.Secondary objective: see Protocol paper,…
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…
To investigate the efficacy of treatment with human recombinant IL1Ra (rhIL1Ra, Anakinra) in patients with ATC in terms of improved health related quality of life (HRQoL), tumor progression and Overall Survival (OS). Secondary objectives: To…
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…
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…
To investigate the effect on symptomatology of interference with IL-1 in CFS patients.
Primary Objective: To assess the hemodynamical effects of administration of AS in FGR fetuses and to compare these effects with those that occur in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses. Secondary Objective(s): To investigate the effect of…
To determine the effect of anakinra on the development of perihematomal oedema, compared to standard medical management. In an exploratory analysis, we will investigate whether this effect is dose-dependent. Furthermore, to study its effect on serum…
The aim of ImmunoSep is to study if personalized immunotherapy targeting either fulminant hyper-inflammation or immunoparalysis is able to improve sepsis outcomes.
The aim of this research is to decrease the number of involved margins, resulting in less adjuvant therapy and less local recurrences.
Primary objective: To assess the validity of US to measure lean mass after weight loss in a population of bariatric surgery patients.Secondary Objectives: • To assess de differences in lean mass between DXA and US in this study compared to the…
A relatively new method to determine margin distance is intraoral resection with a small Ultrasound (US)-probe. US is already used to determine tumor-thickness in tongue cancer preoperatively, because of its high predictive value. Four previous…
The aim of this prospective randomized, double blind study is to evaluate the analgesic effects of pre-operative PECS II-block with (long-acting) liposomal Bupivacaine versus (short-acting) Levobupivacaine for patients undergoing a mastectomy.
In last decades, ultrasound probes have become smaller, which made adequate intraoral ultrasound of oral tumors possible. Therefore, invasion depth is now determined pre-operatively by intraoral ultrasound for staging of oral cancer. Our feasibility…
