Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of oral dipyridamole treatment on the innate immune response induced by a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines will be…
Serum hepcidin levels are elevated in hemodialysis patients and may contribute to functional iron impairment and thus to ESA-resistance. Kinetics of hepcidin in hemodialysis patients has not been studied in detail. This study is designed to provide…
The objectives of the study are to assess whether:(1) SNP will reduce the occurrence of psychomimetic side effects during exposure to low-dose ketamine;(2) SNP will reduce the ketamine-induced increase in blood pressure and cardiac output;(3) SNP is…
To determine whether treatment with RAD001 10 mg/d plus Sandostatin LAR® prolongs the progression free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with Sandostatin LAR® alone in patients with advanced carcinoid tumor.
Primary research question: Is there a difference in plasma- and dialysate clearances of middle molecules and larger molecules, with different electrical charges, between treatment with standard haemodialysis, high-flux haemodialysis and on-line…
We aim to study the vasoactive effects of Acetylcholine (NO dependent) in hypertensive patients and normotensive participants. Second, the correlation between the vasoreactivity of Acetylcholine and Angiotensin II will be studied. Third, the…
Main study:1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients.2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced mi-crovascular effects in…
Primary: To allow continued use of everolimus to patients receiving everolimus in a Novartis-sponsoredstudy which has reached its objectives and who are benefitting from treatment with everolimus as defined in the parent protocolSecondary: To…
The objective is to analyze whether a difference in reservecapacity is present between short-term and long-term PD patients. In case the reservecapacity of the peritoneum is significantly lower in the long-term compared to short-term PD patients, a…
