To compare the efficacy and tolerability of a combination therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid (12-16 mg/kg body weight plus budesonide (9mg/d) vs. ursodeoxycholic acid (12-16 mg/kg BW/d) plus placebo in the treatment of PBC. To study safety and…
1) Study the chemopreventive potential of 5-ASA and UDCA in UC by evaluating the effect of treatment with these agents on ACF number, size and rate of dysplasia. 2) Gain mechanistic insight into the chemopreventive properties of 5-ASA and UDCA by…
In the Netherlands, approximately 500 patients with FAP have been recognized, who are at high risk for developing duodenal carcinoma. Better insights in the pathogenesis of duodenal cancer and development of chemoprevention strategies are of pivotal…
To assess the bile acid composition of cystic bile and serum pharmacokinetics after a 3-week treatment with UDCA and to correlate pharmacokinetic parameter sof UDCA in bile and serum during steady state.To compare the composition of bile acids and…
1) Study the chemopreventive potential of 5-ASA and UDCA in UC by evaluating the effect of treatment on ACF number, size and rate of dysplasia, relative to the placebo group. 2) Gain mechanistic insight into the chemopreventive properties of 5-ASA…
We want to study whether there is a difference with respect to the pressure exerted onto the body when using a normal spineboard and a newly developed spineboard, related to the level of consciousness of the volunteer. Also the experienced comfort…
First, to demonstrate whether UDCA-therapy is effective in reducing total liver volume in PLD patients. Second, we want to assess if UDCA modifies quality of life. Finally, we want to assess safety and tolerability.
Our primary objective is to evaluate the effect of perioperative enteral and parenteral nutrition on amino acid profile and cardiomyocytes functioning in the cardiac surgical patient. Our secondary objective is to study the effect of the (par)…
The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of UDCA and ezetimibe on cholesterol elimination assessed as total faecal sterol concentration. Secondary objective is to assess the effect of UDCA and ezetimibe on plasma lipid profile/composition.
This study is designed to provide evidence regarding the prophylactic use of UDCA in preventing symptomatic gallstone disease after RYGB and Sleeve Gastrectomy.
