To make an efficacy evaluation of Gadolineum Ethoxybenzyl (Gd-EOB) DTPA-enhanced MR-imaging (Gadoxetic acid, Primovist, Bayer Schering Pharma, Berlin) and Respiratory Triggered Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) for the detection and characterization…
To assess whether radiofrequency ablation in the liver is associated with hypoxia in the rim of the induced necrosis.
This study will compare antibiotic prescribing levels for practices trained via the GRACE INTRO programme (a self directed web based learning package combined with patient booklets), with those not trained, and in addition will determine whether the…
For further details see - Protocol section: 2 - Aimo Assessment of the accuracy of the FCH PET/CT scan in diagnosing HCC. o Assesment of radical surgical resection, using the FCH PET/CTscan.o Assesment of recurrence after surgical resection, using…
To assess efficacy and safety of temoporfin (Foscan*) photodynamic therapy in the treatment of locally advanced perihilar bile duct carcinoma without distant metastases.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall survival (OS) of oral linifanib given as monotherapy daily (QD) compared to sorafenib given twice daily (BID) per standard of care in subjects with advanced or metastatic HCC. The…
To evaluate the incidence, causes and characteristics of meningitis and/or encephalitis in patients of all ages:1. To determine the causes of meningitis and/or encephalitis in children and adults2. To evaluate the clinical signs and symptoms and CSF…
Primary objective:To establish the safety and toxicity profile of treatment with Ho-166-PLLA-MS.Secondary objectives:• To evaluate tumor response. • To evaluate patient dosimetry. • To evaluate performance status.• To evaluate Quality of Life (QOL…
We will examine the activation status of platelets, the content of platelet granules, and activation of de novo synthesis of mitogenic proteins during and after a partial liver resection in patients with a malign or benign tumor including distant…
The trial aims to investigate whether procalcitonin measurements can reduce the amount of blood cultures in the ICU safely and cost-effectively.
This study aims to design a nomogram for the course of serum pro-calcitonin in burn patients. For this purpose, a new, sensitive assay will be used. It is expected that the nomogram will help to differentiate between patients with a systemic…
Our primary hypothesis is that the process of nasopharyngeal and fecal colonization from birth to childhood differs in quality and quantity between infants with CF and healthy controls and that these differences are related to subsequent respiratory…
The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that susceptibility to and severity of certain infectious and inflammatory diseases can be explained by the interaction between the genome, microbiome and immunological responses: i.e. presence of…
To evaluate the outcome of FISH testing with a set of biomarkers with regard to the prognostic value and the diagnostic accuracy for both sporadic cholangiocarcinoma and PSC related cholangiocarcinoma. Subsequently we want to develop a valid…
Aim of this study is to confirm the results from ex vivo research in humans in a clinical setting. The objective is to perform optical spectroscopy measurements during surgical procedures in vivo, involving resection of either breast, liver or lung…
To study if regular follow-up of PD patients with testing of their theoretical and practical knowledge (hereafter called *new type of follow-up*) can reduce the incidence of peritonitis, reduce the technique failure rate related to peritonitis, and…
Determine normal ADC values and the reproducibility of the ADC values in normal liver tissue and colorectal liver metastases in a multicentre trial. Determine the effect of lesion volume on reproducibility of the ADC values.
To investigate the role of the gut microbiota in the systemic priming of immune effector cells during human endotoxemia
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of PET-MRI to detect LSR during the first year of follow-up after RFA treatment of CRLM as compared with ceCT and PET-CT. Standard reference will be histology (when available) or…
