PreCARA: Preconception Counselling in Active Rheumatoid Artritis and other chronic inflammatory arthritides;
Preconception counselling for women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or another chronic inflammatory arthritis and a pregnancy wish, which is evaluated in a prospective observational study monitoring pregnancy, delivery, postpartum period of the mother, and (growth) parameters of the child.

In the present study we will evaluate the standardized care protocol developed in our outpatient clinic, intended to guide counselling for medication use prior to pregnancy. This protocol guides treatment decisions based on disease activity,…

Characterization and localization of microstructural changes in brain tissue in Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE)

• To increase the sensitivity of the current MRI methods for detecting the changes caused by NPSLE through the scans made on the 7 Tesla scanner, since the higher field strength will lead to a higher signal to noise ratio and higher resolution. • To…

The effect of Alphabodies® against human lnterleukin lL23 in the transplant model of psoriasis, in which a psoriatic lesion is induced in non-lesional skin transplanted onto immune-deficient (BNX) mice by injecting super-antigen activated peripheral blood cells intradermally into the transplant.

Are Alphabodies against IL23 effecive in the transplant model of psoriasis

A two part, phase 1, randomised, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GBR 830 in adult healthy volunteers (Part 1) and a randomised, placebo-controlled, pharmacodynamic study to evaluate the effect of single dose of GBR 830 on vaccination response in adult, healthy volunteers (Part 2)

The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent GBR 830 is tolerated. It will also be investigated how quickly and to what extent GBR 830 is absorbed and eliminated from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics) and to what extent the…
