To define the amount of dietary protein required to optimally stimulate post-exercise muscle protein synthesis in the older population.To assess whether co-ingesting 1.5 g of free leucine (contained within 15 g dairy protein) along with 15 g protein…
Primary: to demonstrate that at least one dose regimen of BYM338 in sporadic inclusion body myositis patients will increase the distance traveled as measured by change from baseline at Week 52 of the 6 minute walking distance test relative to…
The overall objective is to investigate the efficacy of resveratrol in modulating metabolism and CVD risk profile in patients with COPD. The primary objective is to investigate the effect of resveratrol on CRP as clinical marker of low grade…
The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that a protein-rich nutritional supplement (containing 45 g of dietary protein) prior to surgery acutely increases skeletal muscle and bone protein synthesis rates in older patients undergoing a hip…
In the current study we want to further explore the predictability of pre-treatment pain variability on the probability to experience pain relief. Knowledge on the understanding of individual differences in analgesic properties of a drug is of…
Primary Objective: To examine how protein supplemented after exercise and before each night of sleep augments the resistance type exercise training-induced changes in quadriceps muscle size (CSA) in healthy elderly men. Secondary Objective:…
Primary: Assess the effect of i.v. infusions of BYM338 on muscle volume of the thigh (assessed by MRI) at 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in COPD patients with pulmonary cachexia.Secondary: Effect on 6-minute walk test, safety and…
Please refer to protocol, section 1.2 "Rationale"
The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of creatine supplementation on muscle mass loss during short-term immobilisation in healthy, young people. In addition, we aim to study the underlying mechanisms of creatine and disuse…
The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that once daily tadalafil administered orally for 48 weeks lessens the decline in ambulatory ability as measured by the 6MWD compared to placebo in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Two…
The main objective of this study is to examine the effects of resistance type exercise training combined with nutritional support on body composition and muscle characteristics in healthy elderly men and women.
The primary objective of this proof of principle study is to determine the effect of levosimendan on the strength and endurance of the diaphragm in healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to gain insight in the neural activation and efficiency…
Primary ObjectivesThe primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the analgesic effect size over 12 weeks of several doses and dosage regimens of JNJ-42160443 compared with placebo in subjects with moderate to severe, chronic, low back pain (…
To determine the effect of levosimendan on diaphragm function in mechanically ventilated patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a single bout of NMES on muscle protein synthesis rates in healthy elderly males.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal-like amount of dietary protein prior to sleep on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy young and elderly men, following exercise, during the night. Furthermore, as…
In this study two treatment groups will be compared: ACP injection in combination with exercise therapy and placebo injection in combination with exercise therapy.
1. Is a home-based peripheral muscle training program (5BX) more effective in (a) increasing peak work rate and (b) patients* preferred occupational performance in patients with CF who are preconditioned by IMT?2. Which variables are indicators of…
STUDY 1: To investigate the impact of prior ingestion of a single high protein meal on the normal obligatory increase of muscle protein synthesis rates after protein intake and physical activity in healthy young men. STUDY 2: To investigate the…
(voor meer details zie CMO-protocol paragraaf 2: Objectives) Primary Objective: The objective of this project is to further refine N-of-1 trial methodology, and explore whether Bayesian analysis of multiple N-of-1 trials can serve as a sufficient…
