The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
The primary objective is to determine the effects of dietary nitrate (beet root juice) on the microcirculatory profile in healthy adults. The secondary objectives are 1) to determine the effects of dietary nitrate on macrocirculatory parameters, 2)…
The main objective is to determine if bisphosphonate therapy with etidronate leads to stabilization or attenuation of ongoing calcification in the leg arteries as quantified by 18F-sodium fluoride(18F-NaF) PET-CT imaging in patients with PXE.…
Determining the role of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical suspicion for temporal arteritis.Determing the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of duplex ultrasound in patients with a clinical…
Part A: 52-week double-blind treatment phasePrimary* To investigate the efficacy of sirukumab (100 mg q2w for 12 months) as compared to placebo, each administered in addition to a 6-month prednisone treatment regimen Secondary* To assess cumulative…
To demonstrate whether liposomal prednisolone is effective in promoting AVF maturation after surgical creation of a radiocephalic AVF.
To evaluate the post-market performance of the GORE® VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis for the treatment of in-stent restenosis in the superficial femoral artery.
Primary ObjectiveTo determine the safety and tolerability of multipledoses of PF-04447943 Secondary ObjectiveTo characterize the PK of PF-04447943 in plasma following oral administrationExploratory ObjectivesTo evaluate biomarkers that may be…
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the recovery of the circadian rhythm of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis during a glucocorticoid tapering regime. Secondary objectives include the effect of a tapering regime on melatonin rhythm…
This study aims to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the history and physical examination for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, compared with the superficial temporal artery biopsy, and get more insight into the positive and…
This study is set-up to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CCX168 in subjects with mild to moderate AARV on a background of cyclophosphamide treatment. It will assess the possibility to optimize the treatment with CCX168 and to reduce the side…
To determine the effect of a single red blood cell transfusion on the microcirculation.
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of short-term liposomal glucocorticoid (Nanocort) infusion on atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in humans measured by 18FDG PET/CT
The main point of this study is to detect in a controlled fashion if there is a relationship between CCSVI and MS. We focus on 5 parameters indicative of CCSVI: 1-reflux in the internal jugular vein (IJV) or in the vertebral vein (VV), or both with…
1. Validate and adjust the current classification criteria for systemic vasculitis2. Develop and validate new diagnostic criteria for systemic vasculitis
The primary objectives of the study are to assess the prevalence of large artery inflammation in patients with temporal arteritis or an unexplained inflamatory response and the diagnostic utility of 18FDG-PET/CT in patients with an unexplained…
The aim of the current study proposal is to test the validity of a decision tree focused on skin autofluorescence, and based on the results described above, as a detection tool for diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in 2 new cohorts, one in an…
• To evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of XPF-001 (400 mg bid) for relief of pain in patients with IEM.• To evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of XPF-001 (400 mg bid) for relief of vasomotor signs in patient with IEM.• To…
This study is designed to determine the vessel wall inflammation in patients with extreme levels of one traditional risk factor.
This research aims the usefullness of duplex mapping in systemic giant cell vasculitis. In determing the diagnosis, the duplex will be compared with the current gold standard, the 18F-FDG PET-CT, looking at the sensitivity and specificity of the…
