Filter by:- Approximately 60 patients suffering from moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG1205 or matching placebo once daily for 12 weeks in addition to their stable background treatment. - During the course of the study, patients will also be examined for any side effects that may occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG1205 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG1205 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters (Pharmacodynamics) in blood, stool and colonic biopsies will be determined.
The primary aims of this phase I/II, randomized, placebo controlled study are the assessment of safety and tolerability of universal donor FMT compared to placebo in pediatric and young adult subjects (ages 5 years through 30 years) with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or active Crohn's colitis (CD) who have failed, are intolerant to, or have refused traditional first-line maintenance therapy. Secondary objectives include the identification biomarkers in both donor and recipient that may confer a clinical response and to establish whether or not ongoing FMT maintenance therapy is required for maintenance of clinical benefit in pediatric UC or pediatric CD.
HealthPROMISE is a mobile application (app) for patients that allows regular tracking of symptoms by patients and communicates them to physicians. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the impact of the HealthPROMISE application on improving patient outcomes. The trial will look at how much patients use the application, whether physicians change treatment in response to new information from patients, and how the patients quality of life change over the span of the study. The investigators hypothesize that HealthPROMISE will enhance physician-patient communication and improve clinical outcomes.
Can genetic markers be used to predict anti-TNF response? A cohort was established to identify SNPs associated with anti-TNF therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to two chronic diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) that affect the intestines. The number of new cases of IBD in people younger than 16 years old has been increasing in the United Kingdom (UK), and is currently estimated to be 700 new cases every year. There is no cure for IBD and patients experience episodes of flareups in between periods of wellbeing. Traditionally, children with IBD are asked to attend regular hospital appointments. This means that, even if they are well, they have to get to the hospital and this can involve travelling long distances. Telephone consultations have been shown to be beneficial in some areas of medicine but this approach has not been well studied in children. The aims of this study are to determine whether telephone consultations would improve quality of life, patient satisfaction, proportion of consultations attended and whether they would be safe and reduce costs for patients and the National Health Service (NHS). Investigators plan a randomised controlled trial involving 92 participants recruited from amongst the 250 children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years who attend the regional paediatric IBD centre in Manchester. Half will be assigned to telephone consultations, and half to face to face consultations. The study would have the approval of the local ethics committee and participants would have provided written consent. Investigators will compare outcomes in the two groups over 2 years. If telephone consultations prove to be effective, the NHS could offer children with IBD the choice of either telephone consultation or face to face consultation for their outpatient followup. Those who are doing well would not have to make unnecessary journeys to the hospital. This would free up clinic spaces and allow patients who are unwell, and new patients to be seen more quickly, thus reducing waiting
The purpose of this study is to evaluate serum soluble human ST2 protein, the receptor for Interleukin-33 (IL-33) and a member of the proinflammatory Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor superfamily, as a surrogate biological marker predictive of disease outcome and therapeutic response to golimumab treatment in participants with moderate to severe UC who have failed on prior conventional therapies. The primary endpoints of this study are to correlate serum soluble ST2 levels with endoscopic activity (endoscopic subscore of the Mayo score) and histological activity (Geboes index) of disease.
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects. Overall, nine [9] subjects will be evaluated. The subjects will receive one [1] radio-labelled tablet after a high fat and a rich in calories breakfast.
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects and patients with mildly active UC. Overall, nine [9] subjects per prototype coating (a total of 18) will be evaluated. Four [4] healthy subjects and five [5] patients will be administered one [1] radio-labelled tablet of either formulation D or formulation E, respectively. Amendment: Overall, nine [9] subjects/patients will be evaluated. Four [4] healthy subjects and five [5] patients will be administered one [1] radio-labelled tablet of this new third improved formulation H. In order to keep the number of patients low, recruitment of patients will be stopped when obtaining at least 3 patients with evaluable scintigraphic images. Healthy volunteers will then be recruited to achieve a full set of participants (n=9 per Arm).
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using Scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects. Overall, nine [9] subjects per prototype coating (a total of 18) will be evaluated. Eligible subjects will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive radio-labelled TP05; the first 9 subjects will receive formulation B and the second 9 subjects will receive formulation A. The subjects will be treated once with the radio-labelled study medication.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of apremilast (30 mg twice daily [BID] and 40 mg BID), compared with placebo, in participants with active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
