The objective of this study is to assess whether sitagliptin may prevent prednisolone-induced impairment of glucose metabolism and beta-cell function.
Primary objective:To assess whether a single day infusion of the GLP-1 RA exenatide, as compared to placebo, reverses GC-induced impairment of glucose metabolism and beta-cell function in healthy males
To determine the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element* Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System (Boston Scientific Corporation [BSC], Natick, MA) for the treatment of patients with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic lesions
In this trial we will study if treatment with oral corticosteroids or DMSO is effective in decreasing signs and symptoms of CRPS-1. Tolerance of the treatment options and effects on different subtypes of CRPS-1 patients will be evaluated as well.
Primary objectives:• To explore whether daily oral treatment with 30 mg prednisolone modulates biomarkers for adverse metabolic effects in a similar manner in patients with chronic atopic dermatitis as compared to healthy volunteers.• To determine…
Primary Objective:To compare the clinical benefit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone versus placebo plus prednisone in patients with chemotherapy-naïve castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic.…
We propose to investigate the effect of administering a broad-acting, potent immune suppressive agent early in the course of the disease as this may prevent neuronal damage caused by low-grade inflammatory processes in the brain. It is expected that…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the target lesion failure rate of the Conor Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent System in lesions up to 28 mm in length in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter of 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm…
Primary objective:To compare the clinical benifit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have failed one or two chemotherapy regimens, one of…
To assess the effects of a 7-day course of 30 mg prednisolone daily in addition to usual care (symptomatic) treatment in adults with RS.
The aim of this study is to assess the correlation between concentrations of prednisolone in blood and saliva in healty adult volunteers and to establish the clinical value of the measurement of prednisolone in saliva as an indicator of individual…
With the goal of improving kidney function and without causing an increased number of rejections, is it possible to reduce tacrolimus dosage through the use of the previously-mentioned immunosupressives after month three.
This study is designed to demonstrate equal therapeutic effect of Myfortic® as compared to MMF in this patient group, thus improving therapeutic efficacy.
To evalute the efficacy of rituximab in comparison to continued corticosteroid treatment in ipatients with diopathic nephrotic syndrome unresponsive to 8 weeks of high dose prednisolone.
To examine the effects and safety of methylprednisolone combined with diazoxide on the progression of type 1 diabetes at the onset of disease
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of TAC with MMF as a second line treatment for AIH. Proportion of patients with CR after 12 months of treatment will be the primary outcome parameter to determine effectivity.
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…
This study aims to re-examine the bioequivalence of prednisolone and dexamethasone at two different doses by assessing tissue specific glucocorticoids effects, including the immune system, brain functioning, hormonal axes, and renal parameters.
We propose to investigate the effect of administering a broad-acting, potent immune suppressive agent early in the course of the disease as this may prevent neuronal damage caused by low-grade inflammatory processes in the brain. It is expected that…
