The objective of this study is to assess whether sitagliptin may prevent prednisolone-induced impairment of glucose metabolism and beta-cell function.
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.
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…
