Exploring the incidence of fatigue after sarcoidosis, its severity and nature. Next we will try to associate fatigue with capacity to produce pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.Our secondary objective is testing the activity of the HPA-axis, the…
Aim of the study is to evaluate wether exposure of HPA-1a negative fetuses to the maternal HPA-1a antigens during fetal life induces tolerance which may reduce the risk that HPA-1a antibodies are developed later in life.We postulate that 1) women…
The aim of this study is to investigate if there are genetic factors predisposing to Löfgren*s syndrome, and whether these factors have an influence on the clinical course.
Primary: To determine whether IL-1 inhibition by Canakinumab is efficacious in treatment of Schnitzler syndrome.Secondary:1. To assess the effect of canakinumab on Schnitzler syndrome (clinical signs/symptoms and inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive…
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of probiotics on the sequels of ETEC administration as intestinal permeability, inflammation and clinical signs as total faecal output, relative faecal dry weight and mucin excretion in…
Assess the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in pediatric patients with aHUS to control TMA as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
Assess the efficacy of eculizumab in adult patients with aHUS to control TMA as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
Primary: To determine the safety and tolerability of TCAD administered orally to immunocompromised patients diagnosed with influenza ASecondary: To assess the antiviral effect, the speed of symptom resolution, and the influenza complication rate of…
The primary objective is to investigate the effects of intravenous administration of C1INH in human volunteers on cytokine release (TNFa) during endotoxemia. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of administration of C1 INH on…
To evaluate immune function and (the susceptibility for) oxidative damage under the influence of long-term olive-oil based TPN use in patients without an active underlying disease and compare this with findings in healthy controls
This study will investigate fatigue after exercise in sarcoidosis patients. It will determine the severity of their fatigue, the recuperative capacity after maximal exertion (bicycle ergometer) and the levels of ACE and cytokines (before and after…
The general objective of this study is to elucidate the cellular components for HIV-1 infection in children.
In vitro selection of microbiota that can be used in a subsequent trial with children with IMD. The selection will be made based on the cytokine profile and immune cell characterization after co-culture of PBMC*s with bacteria. Influence of human…
Our primary goal is to compare the effects of a positive pressure mechanical ventilation with spontaneous breathing on systemic cytokine release in patients with normal pulmonary function. Secondly, the possible effects of surgery on the ventilation…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of colostrum supplementation on the immune response after intense strenuous exercise.The secondary objective is to study the effect of intense strenuous exercise - and its possible…
Primary objectives: Stress response: To determine whether acute alcohol consumption shortly after a psychological/mental stressor attenuates the stress response recovery.Cholinergic status: To determine whether prolonged moderate alcohol consumption…
Primary aimTo evaluate the effects of peginterferon and ribavirin therapy on the immune response in chronic HCV genotype 1 patients before, during and after treatment.Secondary aims1. To determine if differential modulation of Treg activity or DC…
Our purpose is to establish whether the frequently observed absence of tumor regression in the presence of infiltrating T lymphocytes is due to a lack of T cell effector function or due to an inhibitory influence of the tumor microenvironment on T…
To select T cell properties intrinsic to the transplant recipient, which can discriminate between patients who will likely experience acute cellular rejection episodes from those who don*t.
Primary objective is to show the presence of endogenous ligands of TLR4 in the lung of patients being mechanically ventilated in a standardised way with clinical parameters. Secondary objective is to investigate the amount of endogenous ligands of…
