The focus of this pilot study is to investigate the results of a sialendoscopy (with or without rinsing with hydrocortisone 100mg) on the unstimulated whole mouth (UWS) and stimulated parotid (SP) (ml/min) flow of saliva, oral dryness, reported…
Primary Objective is to evaluate the long-term safety of sirukumab in subjects with RA who are refractory to DMARDs or anti-TNF* agents.The secondary objectives are to observe the following long-term effects of sirukumab in subjects with RA who are…
The main objectives of this study is to see if changes in the innate immune system can be found in diseases associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis
Conditions that promote IL-10 producing B cells in humans are still ill defined. In this project our aim is to investigate the frequnecy of IL-10 producing B cells in healthy volunteers. Next, we aim to compare this to the frequency of IL-10…
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
-To determine the feasibility of detection of synovitis by photoacoustic imaging using three discrete wavelengths of pulsed light as an early indicator of the presence of RA.-To correlate the photoacoustic markers that are indicative for…
To determine the prevalence of mycobacterial, propionibacterial and beryllium, aluminium and zirconium sensitized patients within a well-defined Dutch cohort of biopsy proven sarcoidosis patients.New clinico-pathological phenotypes within the group…
Objective: We want to extend our understanding of the disease aetiology by performing a small pilot study that incorporates other immunologic sites involved in the disease (the skin and the microbiome) while additionally strengthening our disease…
- To determine whether there is a mitigated immediate immune response to islet infusion in immunosuppressed recipients- To determine if complement activation during immediate immune response is affected in immunocompromised recipients

Period 1: The first objective, of period 1, is to compare the safety and efficacy of ABT-494 15 mg QD monotherapy, and 30 mg QD monotherapy versus weekly methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis…
The purpose of the study is to compare LA-EP2006 and Neulasta® with respect to how quickly and to what extent the compounds are absorbed and eliminated from the body after injection under the skin of the abdomen (this is called pharmacokinetics). It…
Does humoral and/or cellular rejection play a role in recurrent miscarriage of unknown etiology?Can biomarkers of humoral and/or cellular rejection be used for the detection of patients who are likely to suffer a miscarriage in a next pregnancy?
To contrast jaw exercises and corticosteroid injection via arthrocentesis in children with JIA and MRI confirmed TMJ arthritis despite 1 year regular treatment by the rheumatologist, in a randomized clinical trial, both in combination with continued…
This study aims to enhance pharmacotherapeutic effects in patients with recent-onset RA by means of conditioning (via a variable reinforcement schedule).
The primary objective of CDfuture is to provide duodenal biopsies of patients with and without CD, and venous blood samples, to continue CD research as described above.

> Can fatigue in pSS patients be explained by force decline during a fatiguing task, muscle activation, mood, and the serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines? > What is the contribution of central factors (muscle activation) and…
The aim of this pilot study is to establish Th1/Th2/Th17 patterns in healthy controls by analysing cytokine concentrations in nasal fluid (nasal wash and cotton wool method), saliva and blood. This will be done in order to give an estimation about…
