Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is often complicated by graft versus host disease (GvHD) causing high morbidity and mortality. Loss of gutmicrobial diversity is a risk factor to develop GvHD. We will test the hypothesis that…
The purpose of the study is to compare LA-EP2006 and Neulasta® with respect to how quickly and to what extent the compounds are absorbed and eliminated from the body after injection under the skin of the abdomen (this is called pharmacokinetics). It…
Objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of VZV vaccination in lung transplantation patients, intended to prevent morbidity by VZV infection. Efficacy of vaccination will be measured by means of determining cellular immunity to VZV. Cellular…
Primary objective:To determine whether endotoxin tolerance can be prevented by acetylsalicylic acid prophylaxis or can be reversed by acetylsalicylic acid treatment, expressed as an augmentation of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels during the second…
To examine the effect of BCG vaccination on the composition and function of the bone marrow.
The objective of the current study is to obtain normative data of healthy individuals on brain measures, cognition and blood markers. In addition, we acquire information on childhood trauma, metabolic and immunological parameters in a cohort of…
Primary Objective:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that CNTO 328 in combination with BSC is superiorto BSC in terms of objective response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) among subjectswith multicentric Castleman…
Primary:to investigate the effects on heart rate (HR) and rhythm of concomitant administration of the study drug with a calcium-channel blocker (CCB) or a beta-blocker (BB)Secondary:- to investigate the effects on blood pressure (BP) of concomitant…
Primary Objective: to investigate the effect of rosuvastatin 20 mg qd on subsequent immune activation markers in treatment-naïve HIV-patients: circulating LPS (LAL assay), TLR mRNA expression in whole blood, circulating IL-6, D-dimer, hsCRP, CD38…
Primary Objective - To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the severity of PLE related pruritis.Secondary Objectives- To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the frequency of PLE episodes;- To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the duration of…
1. To determine if zinc supplementation in AMD patients has a direct measurable effect on the complement system explaining the mechanism through which this substance exerts its influence on AMD progression.2. To determine whether this proposed…
Our hypothesis is that antibodies of COPD patients contribute to inflammatory processes leading to cell death, and that the level of cytotoxicity differs between COPD patients and healthy volunteers. The prime aim is to detect differences in…
Primary objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the effects of GM-CSF/IFN-γ on the in vivo immunoparalysis induced by human endotoxemia. This will be determined by measuring plasma levels of various pro and anti-inflammatory…
In a randomized controlled trial, the effects of DHCA and ACP during complex neonatal cardiac surgery on organ function and injury will be compared, especially focusing on cerebral damage and neurological outcome. The primary research question is…
To get more insight into the T cell homeostasis in lymfocytopenic, ATG treated patients and normocytopenic patients treated with standard maintenance immunosuppressive drug therapy.
Identifying the factors and underlying mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of immune paralysis in trauma patients. Mapping the time-course of immune paralysis in trauma patients.
Objective: To analyze in more detail the complement activation and regulation and especially the functional CFH activity following three types of interventions in patients known with HUS and correlate these to clinical findings. The three…
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the systemic effects of orally administered Beta-glucan on innate immune responses of leukocytes. The effects of Beta-glucan will be determined by measuring the ex-vivo responsiveness of leukocytes…
• to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending single oral doses of the test compound ACT-389949 (test medication) in healthy male subjects• to study how the test compound ACT-389949 is absorbed, broken-down and excreted by the body and how…
