Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Women with Gestational Diabetes
At diagnosis of GDM, women will receive education on the management of GDM with lifestyle and need to monitor glucose with SMBG. Within one week of GDM diagnosis, all participants will be asked to use a blinded CGM (Freestyle Libre Pro IQ,) during a run-phase. Women randomized to the control arm, will be asked to intermittently wear a blinded CGM sensor (Freestyle Libre Pro IQ) during 14 days at least two time points in pregnancy (at 31.0-33.6 weeks and between 36.0-38.6 weeks). For women diagnosed with early GDM (<20 weeks), blinded CGM will be needed 3 times in pregnancy with a first time at 20.0-23.9 weeks. Women randomized to the intervention arm will be recommended tu use the rt-CGM (Freestyle Libre 3) till the delivery. In line with normal routine, a 75g OGTT will be performed between 6-24 weeks postpartum to screen for glucose intolerance. Participants will be asked to also wear a blinded CGM (Freestyle Libre Pro IQ) at this last study visit.

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy of 5-FU + NALIRI and 5-FU + NALIRINOX for PDAC (NALPAC)
Based on the results of previous studies, the sponsor aims to assess efficacy and safety of this triplet (irinotecan, 5FU/LV and oxaliplatin) in second-line treatment in fit patients (ECOG 0-1) metastatic PDAC. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of NALIRINOX (= investigational arm) and NALIRI (= standard care arm) in terms of Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFSR). As secondary objectives, the following will be evaluated in both arms: - Safety/toxicity and tolerability profile according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5. - Progression free survival (PFS) - Overall response rate and duration of response as assessed by imaging (RECIST 1.1) and tumor markers - Overall survival (OS)

Prevention of Postoperative Endoscopic Recurrence with Endoscopy-driven Versus Systematic Biological Therapy
This will be a prospective, randomized, parallel group, pragmatic trial. Prior to study group assignment, the type of biological therapy to be (eventually) used in the postoperative phase will be selected by the treating physician after thorough discussion with the patient. The use of cheaper anti-TNF biosimilars will be encouraged, but patients who received adalimumab and/or infliximab preoperatively cannot receive the same treatment again in SOPRANO CD if the participants previously encountered immunogenicity issues to this treatment. Systematic postoperative prophylaxis with a biological: Biological therapy (adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab or risankizumab) will be initiated within 14 to 40 days after ileocolonic resection or restoration of the faecal stream (day 0). In patients with both Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) based clinical recurrence (HBI >4) and endoscopic recurrence (Rutgeerts score ≥i2b) at week 30, biological therapy will be optimized (reimbursed or through the available free goods / samples programs). Beyond week 32 optimization of this biological therapy will be allowed following daily clinical practice including proactive therapeutic drug monitoring. However, the timing, type and reason for dose optimization should be recorded. Endoscopy-driven postoperative biological therapy: No CD related therapy will be administered between Baseline (14 to 40 days after ileocolonic resection or restoration of the faecal stream) and the endoscopic evaluation at week 30 Patients with endoscopic recurrence (Rutgeerts score ≥i2b) at week 30 will initiate biological therapy (adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab or risankizumab) following a classical induction and maintenance schedule. The type of biological therapy has to be decided already in the perioperative phase to allow a proper stratification. In patients initiating biological therapy at week 30, this therapy maybe optimized from week 32 onwards following daily clinical practice including proactive therapeutic drug monitoring. However, the timing, type and reason for dose optimization should be recorded. In patients not on biological therapy yet but developing clinical recurrence (HBI >4) with objective signs of disease recurrence (faecal calprotectin >250 µg/g, C-reactive protein >5 mg/L or endoscopic recurrence ≥i2b or clear radiological disease activity at the neo-terminal ileum) beyond week 32, biological therapy can be initiated, but this will be regarded as a study failure. Randomization: Eligible patients will be allocated to one of the two treatment arms (1:1) according to a computer generated randomisation list in REDCap. Stratified randomisation will be performed to achieve approximate balance for: - Type of selected postoperative prophylactic therapy: adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab or risankizumab. - Number of risk factors for postoperative recurrence: 1, 2 or >2 (out of 5 predefined factors: active smoking, penetrating disease, previous ileocolonic resection ≤10 years of index surgery, ≥2 previous ileocolonic resections, biological therapy ≤3 months of index ileocolonic resection)

Subthreshold SCS or BMT
After filling in the questionnaires at the 6 months follow-up visit, patients could change treatment groups (in both directions). This decision will be a shared decisions between patient and treating physician in case the randomized intervention did not provided enough pain relief.
