To examine the effect of BCG vaccination on the composition and function of the bone marrow.
Here, we postulate that the balance between the effect of belatacept on regulatory T-cell function and the relative insensitivity of memory T-cells for belatacept leads to donor-specific alloreactivity. We plan to study the peripheral CD28-dependent…
Objectives1.3.1 Primary ObjectiveCompare the efficacy of BMS-945429 versus placebo for induction of clinical remission (defined by an absolute Crohn*s Disease Activity Index [CDAI] score < 150) at Week 8 (IP-57).1.3.2 Secondary Objectives•…
The objective of the current study is to obtain normative data of healthy individuals on brain measures, cognition and blood markers. In addition, we acquire information on childhood trauma, metabolic and immunological parameters in a cohort of…
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is often complicated by graft versus host disease (GvHD) causing high morbidity and mortality. Loss of gutmicrobial diversity is a risk factor to develop GvHD. We will test the hypothesis that…
Objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of VZV vaccination in lung transplantation patients, intended to prevent morbidity by VZV infection. Efficacy of vaccination will be measured by means of determining cellular immunity to VZV. Cellular…
Primary objective:To determine whether endotoxin tolerance can be prevented by acetylsalicylic acid prophylaxis or can be reversed by acetylsalicylic acid treatment, expressed as an augmentation of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels during the second…
The purpose of the study is to compare LA-EP2006 and Neulasta® with respect to how quickly and to what extent the compounds are absorbed and eliminated from the body after injection under the skin of the abdomen (this is called pharmacokinetics). It…
The study has the following 3 main objectives pertaining to the treatment of DMARD-naïve subjects with adult-onset, early, active, RA, diagnosed within 1 year before Screening using the 2010 ACR/EULAR RA classification criteria:1.To show that…
In the present study, we first want to investigate whether BCG-vaccination enhances the innate immune response in humans in vivo during human endotoxemia. In the second experiment we want to investigate whether BCG-vaccination can reverse the…
A previous study of from our laboratory showed that administration of the drug C1-INH (100E/kg) significantly reduced the concentration of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, in healthy male volunteers during human experimental…
Primary Objective: To objectify the innate immune response to acute and prolonged exercise and get insight in this response over time (hours). Secondary Objective(s):- Investigate the nature of the post-exercise leukocytosis- Which leukocytes appear…
Primary Efficacy Objective:• To evaluate the efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) compared to placebo, in combination with a26-week prednisone taper regimen, in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), as measured by the proportion of patients in…
In this study we aim to elucidate effects of dietary sodium intake on:1. Microcirculation by studying the capillary network during high and low sodium conditions.2. Adaptive and innate immune system by studying circulating T-lymphocyte…
To investigate the effect on symptomatology of interference with IL-1 in CFS patients.
Part 1: To assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic-dynamic response, of single escalating doses of EA-230 in healthy subjects.Part 2: To assess the dose-and plasma concentration-response relation of single escalating doses EA-230 on…
To examine the effect of BCG as an adjuvant on DTP vaccination, and to investigate the non-specific training effects of BCG and DTP, alone and in combination, on the innate immune system.
Determine whether the prevalence of allergic sensitilization, defined as at least one allergen specific IgE with a concentration of >= 0,35 kU/l, is lower in people with than without DS. Analyse whether this prevalene is depending on age, how…
Primary:to investigate the effects on heart rate (HR) and rhythm of concomitant administration of the study drug with a calcium-channel blocker (CCB) or a beta-blocker (BB)Secondary:- to investigate the effects on blood pressure (BP) of concomitant…
Primary Objective:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that CNTO 328 in combination with BSC is superiorto BSC in terms of objective response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) among subjectswith multicentric Castleman…
