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.
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…
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…
Primary objective:4To assess the efficacy of AZD9567, 40 mg, compared to prednisolone 20 mg in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis in spite of stable treatment with conventional and/or s.c/i.v. biological Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs…
Main study: to examine whether low dose GC therapy is more effective via the oral route compared to the parenteral route.Dose finding study (pilot study): to examine which oral GC dose is needed for a noticeable decrease in Erythrocyte Sedimentation…
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…
To demonstrate whether hydrochlorothiazide or metformin can diminish aquaresis in patients with ADPKD who are treated with tolvaptan as measured by 24-hour urine volume.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of TAC with MMF as a second line treatment for AIH. Proportion of patients with CR after 12 months of treatment will be the primary outcome parameter to determine effectivity.
Primair1. Assessment of the pharmacological activity of BAY·1834845 and BAY 1830839 on IMQ induced skin inflammation compared to placebo (prednisolone serves as active control), as quantified by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI, perfusion/basal…
To examine the effects and safety of methylprednisolone combined with diazoxide on the progression of type 1 diabetes at the onset of disease
This study aims to re-examine the bioequivalence of prednisolone and dexamethasone at two different doses by assessing tissue specific glucocorticoids effects, including the immune system, brain functioning, hormonal axes, and renal parameters.
Main objectiveThe primary objective of this study is to assess whether a higher HRQoL, in terms of impact of the disease and its treatment on physical and role functioning, is achieved with metronomic schedules of doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide…
To examine the impact of medication induced systolic BP (SBP) reductions >=10 mmHg, while reaching a treatment target of <=140 mmHg, on cerebral blood flow (CBF) in frail elderly with untreated or uncontrolled systolic hypertension at…
To study whether polytherapy (methotrexate plus sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine) results in more patients with inactive disease and therefore less patients who need treatment with a TNF inhibitor after 6 months of treatment compared to primary…
To assess the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil as induction therapy in patients with treatment naive autoimmune hepatitis.
To determine the efficacy of a short high-dose treatment of oral prednisolone for persistent loss of smell after COVID-19 infection in the long term (>12 weeks). ADD: determining the clinical course/natural recovery of loss of smell and taste…
To assess the safety and efficacy of ABBV-154 versus placebo in subjects with PMR, who are dependent on treatment with glucocorticoids withdoses of at least 5 mg/day prednisone equivalent (glucocorticoindependent PMR).
This study consists of two periods. The objective of Period 1 is to evaluate the efficacy of upadacitinib in combination with a 26-week corticosteroid (CS) taper regimen compared to placebo in combination with a 52-week CS taper regimen, as measured…
Primary Objectives* To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of systemic prednisolone on the LPS- or IMQ-induced inflammatory response* To assess safety & tolerability of intradermal LPS and topical IMQ in combination with prednisoloneSecondary…
