Here, we postulate that the balance between the effect of belatacept on regulatory T-cell function and the relative insensitivity of memory T-cells for belatacept leads to donor-specific alloreactivity. We plan to study the peripheral CD28-dependent…
Primary objectives:The primary objectives of this trial are:• To show PK similarity of BI 695500 to MabThera® and Rituxan® and of Rituxan® to MabThera® (three-way PK similarity).• To establish statistical equivalence of efficacy of BI 695500 and…
MK-1439 is a promising NNRTI to be used in combination with other antiretrovirals (ARTs) for the treatment of HIV infection. It is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in vitro and is active against both wild type virus and most common NNRTI…
PRIMAIRYThe primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of atacicept compared to placeboin preventing new flares in subjects with SLE.SECONDARYSecondary objectives of the trial are:• To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of…
Primary ObjectiveTo define normal values for synovial thickness in the healthy pediatric knee and wrist on MRI after intravenous gadolinium contrast administration. Secondary ObjectiveTo evaluate possible age-dependent variations in normal values…
The goal of this stdy is to investigate both antibody responses in an invitro culture system which prevents clearance of antibodies and provides the oppertunity to study the antibodies in an antigen-free environment. This should lead to more insight…
A proof-of-concept study in refractory SLE patients to assess the immunological consequences of a combination treatment with rituximab (anti-CD20) and belimumab (anti-BAFF) to achieve long-term B-cell depletion. The immunological and clinical…
Primary Objective: Create a complete transcriptome of blood cells from dichotomous HIV-2 infection.Secondary Objective(s): Define host factors and pathways that are implicated in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Determine of the mechanisms that…
Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of once daily doses of QAW039, as measured by EASI after 12 weeks of treatment, relative to placebo, in adult patients with moderate to severe AD. To evaluate safety and tolerability.Secondary objectives:…
Primary aim: Stepwise feasibility study to investigate whether intravenously administered macrophage tracers [11C]DPA-713, [18F]DPA-714 and/or [18F]PEG-folate accumulate in inflamed joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients using PET(-CT).Secondary…
Primary Objective: Identification of rare variants in candidate genes and regulatory elements in pediatric IBD patients. Secondary Objective(s): To determine the functional consequences of identified genetic variants in IBD, we will correlate…
In the present study, we first want to investigate whether BCG-vaccination enhances the innate immune response in humans in vivo during human endotoxemia. In the second experiment we want to investigate whether BCG-vaccination can reverse the…
Primary Objective: To identify new immunological markers for therapeutic response to anti-TNF therapy in chronic granulomatous diseases.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the eosinophil lifespans under inflammatory conditions in the blood and lungs of patients with eosinophilic asthma
The primary objective of this endpoint study is to evaluate the safety of tofacitinib at two doses versus TNFi; the co-primary endpoints are adjudicated major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and adjudicated malignancies excluding non-melanoma…
The primary objective is:1. To investigate whether high frequency low dosage IVIg treatment is more effective than low frequency high dosage as maintenance treatment for CIDP. Secondary objectives are:2. To investigate whether high frequency low…
Establishing an eliciting dose distribution for walnut on population level by determining individual eliciting doses in double-blind placebo controlled food challenges.
Primary: to compare inflammatory activity in atherosclerotic lesions between patients with active RA and controls, and to address the potential of anti-inflammatory therapy to reduce inflammatory atherosclerosis in RA patients.Secondary: 1] to…
To assess the efect of IL-17 blockade on:- the global synovial histology and inflammatory infiltration- the number and type of IL-17 producing cells in SpA synovitis- the productuion of inflammatory mediators (including other IL-17 related cytokines…
To assess the ex vivo cytokine production of whole blood during 28 days after phlebotomy (routine withdrawal of 500 ml of blood).
