The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of moxifloxacin 400 mg PO OD for five days with the respective efficacy of amoxicillin clavulanic acid 875/125 mg PO BID for seven days in the treatment of subjects with AECB. The primary efficacy…
1. The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether periodontal treatment results in a decrease of plasma biomarkers that are related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) and what is the effect of the treatment on the…
The goal of this trial is to confirm that eradication rates obtained with Pylera are compatible to those obtained with the current European gols standard, OAC 7 days. This trial will constitute a pivotal trial leading eventually to approval of…
To determine and compare the periodontal status between the different groups of women. Periodontal examinations will be performed within one week after delivery. If periodontal disease is diagnosed within the selected groups, it is plausible to…
To investigate the gene and protein expression of neonates suffering from CoNS late-onset sepsis.
This proposal will investigate how and which immunosuppressive agents affect the innate immune response against infection. Understanding the impact of immunosuppressive agents on TLR-signaling and TLR-control may be a new focus for the development…
The overall aim of the proposed project is to identify mild PID in elderly patients that distinguish patients with RRTI from individuals with a healthy ageing innate and adaptive immune system. In innate immunity, normal immunosenescence is…
1. Characterize the interplay between host factors and bacterial factors and the specific activation of inflammatory pathways.2. Evaluate the expression of identified risk genes after activation of inflammatory pathways in host immune mediating…
1. To asses (with planar imaging) whether SPECT/CT scan are feasible in assessing pulmonary deposition of inhaled tobramycin.2. To evaluate the effect of CO2 enriched ambient air on deposition of inhaled tobramycin in bronchiectasis patients.3. To…
Primary Objective: In the CORAL study we want to determine whether increasing the inoculation dose of diarrhoeagenic E. coli to 5*10^10 CFU and addition of a second challenge 1*10^10 CFU will result in an increased effect-size and duration of…
Primary objective:To compare the change in small airways obstruction (FEF75%) in patients with CF when inhaling one ampule of inhaled tobramycin with the Akita® compared to standard of treatment (twice daily nebulization of one ampule using standard…
To see whether C. burnetii is able to induce epigenetic changes in monocytes, resulting in a more distinct pro-inflammatory response to re-stimulation with viral particles, to see whether these changes are present in circulating monocytes of QFS…
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical effect of decontamination of the implant surface during the surgical treatment of peri-implantitis using air polishing or hand instruments. The secondary objective…
Clinical validation of a dried blood spot (DBS) method for the analysis of rifampicin (RIBOD study).
PrimairyTo clinically validate a finger prick DBS method compared to conventional venous sampling for the analysis of rifampicin.Secondairy* Feasibility of the novel finger prick DBS method in the target population will be assessed. This includes…
Primary Objective: To investigate the additional effect of systemic antibiotics (amoxicillin 375 mg and metronidazole 250 mg) for non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis in comparison to non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis without the…
Aim of the study:To investigate the role of the CD200/CD200R axis on the responsiveness of whole blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and neutrophils to a proinflammatory challenge in the immunoparalysed state in sepsis patients.…
The primary objective of this pilot trial is to evaluate if adding mitoPO2 monitoring to standard anaesthetic management enables tissue oxygenation optimisation.
Identification of T cell epitopes that will serve as the basis for a novel Q fever vaccine with fewer side effects. This will be done by determining ex vivo the effect of Cb-derived T cell epitopes on IFN-γ production in blood of healthy volunteers…
To assess if short antibiotic treatment (3x24 hours) with an anti-pseudomonal carbapenem (imipenem-cilastatin or meropenem) is safe (NON-INFERIOR) with regard to treatment failure in comparison with extended treatment (at least 9x24hours) of high-…
Primary Objective: To prospectively compare outcomes of subjects with diabetic foot osteomyelitis treated with antibiotics targeted at culture results from bone biopsy (intervention group) versus therapy targeted at ulcer bed biopsy culture results…
