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
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…
To examine the difference in gene expression profiles of ASM in bronchial biopsy specimens between asthmatic patients, non-asthmatic allergic and non-asthmatic non-allergic controls.To associate the gene expression profiles with airway…
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.
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.
Primary Trial Objective:To assess the effect of reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex 4 mg.kg-1 compared with reversal according to usual care (neostigmine or spontaneous reversal) on the incidence of adjudicated postsurgical events of…
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 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…
This study is designed to demonstrate equal therapeutic effect of Myfortic® as compared to MMF in this patient group, thus improving therapeutic efficacy.
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.
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…
Primary Objective: The main objective of this study is to identify a new treatment to alleviate pain and diminish inflammation in patients with hand osteoarthritis with symptoms and signs of inflammation.Secondary Objectives: The secondary…
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.
The objective of this study is twofold. First, we want to investigate the effectiveness of a COBRA-plus therapy after incomplete response on COBRA-light therapy after 13 weeks to improve the percentage of RA-patients with a high disease activity and…
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…
To assess (i) the effect of partial neuromuscular blockade (NMB; TOF ratio 0.7) induced by low-dose rocuronium on the ventilatory response to isocapnic hypoxia and (ii) the effect of the reversal by sugammadex, neostigmine or placebo in healthy…
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…
Recent studies show that treatment schedules of the first episode can safely be reduced (Hahn et al., 2015; Hoyer,2015), which may reduce steroid toxicity. The hypothesis of the REducing STEroids in Relapsing Nephroticsyndrome (RESTERN) study is…
