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…
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-…
To assess the bioequivalence of two marketed formulations of ribavirin (ribavirin solution and capsules).
To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of two concentration-controlled everolimus regimen in de novo liver transplant recipients at Month 36 post-transplantation.
Goal of this study is to investigate whether hepatic steatosis can be found in adolescents born SGA who have had prolonged GH treatment because of short stature. A possible relationship between hepatic steatosis and insulin sensitivity, adipose…
To demonstrate that extended postoperative antibiotic treatment does not decrease the infectious complication rate in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.
Primary:The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of Fibrocaps plus gelatin sponge, as compared to gelatin sponge alone, for achieving hemostasis in subjects undergoing spine, liver, vascular or soft tissue surgery, when…
To compare in a randomized controlled trail (RCT) the risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia between neonates treated with CFT and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (augmentin, AUGM) combination versus neonates treated with the aminoglycoside, tobramycin (…
To investigate sustained HBeAg response to peg-interferon alfa-2b in chronic HBeAg-positive hepatitis Bpatients who are pretreated with nucleos(t)ide analogues, thereby lowering viral load
Primary objective:To show that concomitant use of telaprevir (1125 mg BID) does not lead to a relevant decrease (> 20%) in the paroxetine parameter AUC0-24h compared to paroxetine alone.Secondary objectives:To determine the ratio of the…
To evaluate the use of concentration-controlled everolimus, with the reduction or the elimination of tacrolimus, to provide superior renal function and to provide non-inferior rates of the composite efficacy endpoint compared to the tacrolimus…
Primary objectives:• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of BMS-914143 as measured by the frequency of SAEs and discontinuations due to AEs;• To assess the HBeAg seroconversion rate at 24 weeks off treatment (Week 72).Secondary objective• To…
Primary:To estimate the difference in SVR rates between T12/PR24 and T12/PR48 treatment regimens in subjects who achieve eRVR.Secondary:To evaluate the safety of telaprevir in combination with Peg-IFN-alfa-2a and RBV in treatment-naïve subjects with…
Reduction of polycystic liver volume by treating with octreotide, whether or not combined with everolimus. Assessing whether combination therapy of everolimus and octreotide gives a bigger reduction of polycystic liver volume than octreotide…
in this project we will compare conventional 10fg plastic endoprosthesis with similar stents covalently coated with heparin
This study aims to investigate neurodevelopment in primary school children surviving biliary atresia when compared to a healthy reference group. Second aim is to identify prognostic factors associated with a worse outcome in these children.
The aim of this study is to compare the new covered TIPS-stent with paracentesis with albumin infusion with regard to nutritional status, quality of life and survival. The theory is that when ascites is treated in an earlier stage of liver cirrhosis…
Aim of the preceding study is to explore the applicability and feasibility of a rehabilitation program for improvement of complaints of fatigue in liver transplant recipients.
