Filter by:Children aged up to 18 years with moderately active Ulcerative Colitis (PUCAI:35-64) will receive one weekly Adacolumn® apheresis treatment over 5 consecutive weeks, followed by up to 3 optional Adacolumn® apheresis treatments over 3 consecutive weeks. Primary end point is PUCAI at Week 12. The main part of the clinical investigation will be continued by a one year follow up for responders.
The present study will analyze fecal levels of FC and FL in UC patients who relapse (flare) while on a QD or a BID Asacol treatment regimen and compare those levels to levels of FC and FL in UC patients who do not relapse (flare).
This research will examine the impact of brain activity, cognitive processing immune functioning, and gastrointestinal functioning on depressive symptoms and response to a psychotherapeutic intervention in youths with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
The purpose of this study is to compare the maintenance of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis remission with six months of treatment with 1.5 grams of mesalamine pellets each day versus placebo.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease caused by an imbalance between natural defence mechanisms in the intestinal mucosa and microbes in the intestinal lumen. We hypothesise that an improvement or even normalisation of this balance may be achieved by the use of vaccines and dietary oats. The combined use of oral typhoid vaccine and cholera/ETEC-vaccine is supposed to stimulate mucosal defence factors, while dietary oats modifies the microbial environment inside the intestinal lumen. Or study aim is to show if such treatment brings symptom relief to patients with ulcerative colitis.
This study will involve the use of a new compound, SB-656933. Accumulation of inflammatory white blood cells (mostly polymorphonuclear neutrophils)in the gut (colon) may be contributing to the pathology of ulcerative colitis. It has been shown that SB-656933 reduces polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) accumulation in pre-clinical models of colitis. 99m-Tc-HMPAO scintigraphy is a imaging technique which will be used in this study to observe the effect of SB656933 on the migration of PMN to inflamed tissue.
The purpose of this study is to prove the therapeutic equivalence and safety of once-daily 9 mg budesonide versus 3 g mesalazine in a 8-week treatment in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
This study intends to study the efficacy and tolerability of once daily 3.0 g mesalazine granules vs. once daily 1.5 g mesalazine granules vs. three times daily 0.5 g mesalazine granules for maintenance of remission in patients with ulcerative colitis
Background: The treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is based mainly on 3 compounds: 1- 5 aminosalysilates . 2- immunomodulators (Azathioprines). 3- Biologic therapies (Infliximab, Adalimumab) . There are no established data in the literature whether these therapies effects sperm quality. Given that a large number of the patients are young men in the reproductive stage of their lives , It of importance to investigate these effect. Aim: To investigate the effect of chronic treatment of any of the three therapy mentioned above, on sperm quality .
The purpose of this study is to compare the maintenance of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis remission with six months of treatment with 1.5 grams of mesalamine pellets each day versus placebo.
