Primairy Objective* To test whether 5-ASA reduces the occurrence of colonic benign or malignant neoplasia compared to placebo in Lynch syndrome (LS) patients as detected by any colonoscopy until the end of study.Secondary Objectives* To test wheter…
This trial will provide definitive answers with regard to the anti-inflammatory effects of Vitamin D in Crohn*s disease.
Our primary objective is to study the effect of perioperative intravenous supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids on the perioperative inflammatory response compared to a saline control in patients undergoing surgery for colon cancer.
The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of mesalazine granules (3 g 5*ASA/d) vs. placebo for the prevention of recurrence of diverticulitis. Additionally, the safety and tolerability in the form of adverse events and…
This research aims to investigate the effects of three bacteria in the small intestine. This study will provide detailed information on all processes in the small intestine. By the used analytical technique, including gene expression technology, not…
1) Identify chemopreventive properties of mesalazine in patients at high risk of recurrent (nonfamilial) colorectal adenomas by evaluating the effect of treatment on apoptosis and proliferation in histologically normal sigmoid and rectal mucosa…
We want to determine whether Lacprodan® PL-20 can effectively protect against enterotoxigenic E.coli induced travellers* diarrhea in humans. In the present double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized parallel study, the effect of oral milk protein…
We want to study whether consumption of Protecflor can improve the resistance of humans to intestinal ETEC infection. An important parameter of intestinal resistance is the so-called colonization resistance. The colonization resistance is inversely…
The effects of the synbiotic Ecologic 825/scFOS on intestinal barrier function and immune modulation
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of the symbiotic Ecologic 825/scFOS on intestinal epithelial permeability.This study has five secondary objectives:1. The first secondary objective of this study is to study the microbiota…
1) Study the chemopreventive potential of 5-ASA and UDCA in UC by evaluating the effect of treatment on ACF number, size and rate of dysplasia, relative to the placebo group. 2) Gain mechanistic insight into the chemopreventive properties of 5-ASA…
Investigate the effect of acidic and neutral oligosaccharides supplemented enteral nutrition on infectious morbidity, feeding tolerance and short-term outcome in VLBW infants. Furthermore, an attempt is made to elucidate the role of acidic and…
We want to study whether consumption of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM* can improve the resistance of humans to intestinal ETEC infection. An important parameter of intestinal resistance is the so-called colonization resistance. The colonization…
The objective of this trial is to compare time to gastrointestinal recovery after elective colorectal surgery between patients treated with a laxative versus patients treated with a placebo.
1. Development of a prevention strategy for CD in children from high risk families for the disease by induction of oral tolerance to gluten;2. Identification of the immunological mechanisms involved in initiating the aberrant response to gluten…
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of palifermin relative to placebo when given either pre-and post-high dose chemotherapy or pre-high dose chemotherapy only with regard to the severity of oral mucositis.
PRIMARY• To investigate whether calcium supplementation, in addition to standard induction therapy, decreases intestinal permeability (Chroom EDTA) in patients with active ulcerative colitis.• To observe whether calcium supplementation, in addition…
1) Study the chemopreventive potential of 5-ASA and UDCA in UC by evaluating the effect of treatment with these agents on ACF number, size and rate of dysplasia. 2) Gain mechanistic insight into the chemopreventive properties of 5-ASA and UDCA by…
In the present study the effects of the colonic administration of butyrate on portal, hepatic, mesenteric venous and arterial SCFA concentrations will be studied in patients undergoing major upper abdominal surgery. The aim is to clarify the…
Patients in whom a permanent (end) colostomy is created in (semi) elective setting are randomised between the placement of a polypropylene mesh during stoma creation and the classic method without a mesh. Primary aim: Does the use of a lightweight…
This study will be don to gain insights in the effects of the dietary fiber pectin on gut functioning and the immune system. The information will gain more insights in the working mechanism of this specific dietary fiber. Further, we are especially…
