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…
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
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
