To provide high level of evidence that omitting perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis does not increase the postoperative infection rate, in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
In this study we would like to investigate whether repetitive allogeneic (lean donor) fecal transplantations can reduce liversteatosis and if so which (small) intestinal bacteria cause this inflammation in the liver resulting in subsequent chronic…
Primary objective:- To determine the effect of LIK066 on Liver Function test after 12 weeks of treatmentSecondary objectives: - To determine the effect of LIK066 on intrahepatic lipid after 12 weeks of treatment- To determine the effect of LIK066 on…
To investigate the origin of BA we will assess which TLR(s) is/are activated. To test the hypothesis that during development of BA and associated liver fibrosis there is a *leaky gut* and/or a change in microbiome we will use human material to…
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concentration controlled combination of once daily dosed low-dose sirolimus (trough levels: 3-5 ng/ml) and extended-release tacrolimus (trough levels:3-5 ng/ml), in order to provide superior renal function…
Based on the gaps in our knowledge (as stated above), we have formulated the following objectives:- To quantify the degree of hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis in patients with HFI. - To gain more insight in the mechanism leading to NAFLD in…
Primary Objective: • Evaluate the treatment effect of NGM282 as measured by the mean change in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) from Baseline to Week 12 in patients with PSC.Secondary Objectives:• Assess the safety and tolerability of NGM282 in patients…
To investigate FGF19 signalling and metabolic and functional consequences of a disturbed enterohepatic cycle in patients with obstructive cholestasis
Objectives: The objective of the study is to observe the sorbitol clearance and compare this to ICG clearance in different circumstances of normal and compromised liver blood flow.
The objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with HCC who have progressed after sorafenib.
The aim of this study is to compare the new (covered) TIPS stent with the standard treatment, local band ligation and/or sclerosing of the bleeding vessel under endoscopic guidance, in patients with acute bleeding of esophageal varices, with regard…
First, to demonstrate whether Lanreotide attenuates progression of the renal phenotype in ADPKD patients as measured by change in rate of renal function decline and change in renal volume. Second, to demonstrate whether Lanreotide modifies…
To investigate the use of a temporary peginterferon alpha-2a add-on strategy during entecavir therapy in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B by comparing the efficacy of this regimen versus entecavir monotherapy.To evaluate the long-…
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the percentage of subjects achieving SVR12 (HCV RNA < lower limit of quantification [LLOQ] 12 weeks following treatment) of 12 weeks of treatment with ABT-450/r/ABT-267 and ABT-333 co-…
The aim of the study is to confirm efficacy and safety of treatment with 600 mg of BID BI207127 in combination with 120 mg QD Faldaprevir and RBV for 16 and 24 weeks in target chronically infected HCV GT1b treatment naïve patients, including a…
A close correlation has been demonstrated between iron absorption and the capacity of gastric juice to release food iron. At high levels of gastric pH (>3,6), negligible amounts of non-haem iron would be released from dietary components and…
In the present study we aim to test the hypothesis that the reservoir of HEV in the Netherlands are animals that are bred for meat consumption. Therefore we want to compare the HEV seroprevalence in vegetarians and in people with a very low meat/…
The primary objective of this study is:• To evaluate whether simtuzumab (formally referred to as GS-6624) is effective at preventing the progression of liver fibrosis in subjects with PSC.The secondary objectives of this study include the following…
Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms that play a role in liver cirrhosis and its complications. For that aim, we want to study the functional and morphological intestinal epithelial barrier and microbiota of both small and large intestine…
To assess the bioequivalence of two marketed formulations of ribavirin (ribavirin solution and capsules).
