The purpose of the study is to investigate how quickly and to what extent GSK573719 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized (broken down) and eliminated from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics). The compound to be administered will be labeled…
- To study the clinical characteristics and disease course of patients with LEMS with or without SCLC- To identify the characteristics of the humoral or cellular immune response that are associated with the prolonged survival of patients with SCLC…
The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of rituximab (RTX) as a rescue therapy for therapy resistant progressive IMID- IP patients. Specifically there is an objective assessment of (1) pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and (2)…
We aim to assess gene expression patterns in cilia-producing cells from healthy controls to develop a candidate gene list for PCD.
The specific objectives are:1. What is the difference of in vitro CFTR function in CF patients with either mild (compound heterozygote A455E) mutations or severe (homozygote F508del) mutations with mild or severe clinical disease? 2. What is the…
Determine the existence of a relation between GER and apnea and their underlying mechanisms, in infants *37 weeks * 12 months.
The primary objective of the study is as follows:· To compare the rate of asthma exacerbations between patients with low baseline periostin levels (< 50 ng/mL) and patients with high baseline periostin levels (* 50 ng/mL), as measured by…
In this study changes in blood acidity, oxygen tension in the blood, carbon dioxide tension in the blood, respiratory rate and tidal volume (reduction) in the first 24 hours after start of ECCO2R are registered and analyzed. Safety variables during…
To estimate the incidence of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa ICU pneumonia, especially VAP, and to assess its association with patient-related and contextual factors, e.g. colonization status, serum antibody levels against S. aureus alpha toxin [AT],…
This study aims to investigate the feasability to use DW-MRI for mediastinal restaging after concomitant chemoradiotherapy and the feasabilitiy to predict whether or not mediastinal downstaging will be achieved during concomitant chemoradiotherapy…
The projects is divided in 3 aims: 1) To evaluate the regenerative capacity of lung-derived MSCs (LMSCs) from normal and emphysematous lung tissue and compare LMCSs to MSCs derived from other tissues2) To investigate the interaction of MSCs with the…
The aim of the basic research in the laboratory is to develop new treatments to repair large bone defects, repair cartilage defects or inhibit the progression of osteoarthritis (cartilage degeneration). We focus on the following questions:1.How can…
To identify and define characteristics of healthy lymph nodes and lymph nodes involved in different pulmonal diseases (lungcancer and sarcoidosis)
Objective:The aim of our study is to obtain a collection of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas that is well characterized for relevant clinical parameters, including follow-up.
The objective of this protocol is to provide a mechanism to supply mepolizumab on an individual subject basis to eligible asthma subjects who previously participated in a GSK-sponsored mepolizumab study. During the execution of the protocol SAEs…
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of the point-of-care IgE assay in atopic patients and healthy subjects. The POCT results will be compared to a reference immunoassay method for measuring this analyte.It intends to use this new…
Concordance between MET diagnosis with and without the use of ultrasound with the chart review definitive diagnosis will be studied. Also other secondary endpoints will be evaluated.
To validate two less complex techniques, electrical activity of the diaphragm and ultrasound of the diaphragm, compared to the gold standard (transdiaphragmatic pressures) for monitoring diaphragm function and inspiratory effort during assisted MV…
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed following standard systemic chemotherapy (including if given in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy…
