Filter by:MultiStem(r) is a new biological product, manufactured from human stem cells obtained from adult bone marrow or other nonembryonic tissue sources. Factors expressed by MultiStem cells are believed to reduce inflammation and regulate immune system function, protect damaged or injured cells and tissue, promote formation of new blood vessels, and augment tissue repair and healing. MultiStem cell treatment resulted in significant efficacy in a mouse model of Graft versus Host Disease with almost complete reversal of gastrointestinal pathology (similar to pathology that would be expected in Ulcerative Colitis). These data, together with safety data generated in 2 other clinical trials, suggest that MultiStem has the potential to be a new treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis. This is the first study of MultiStem in this patient population and will cautiously explore the safety/toleration and potential benefit of this new treatment in patients with moderate to severe disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of once daily dosing of Pentasa compared with twice daily in children with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis.
This study aim to investigate the effect of Profermin versus Fresubin in the dietetic treatment of active ulcerative colitis.
The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of vedolizumab in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis is the first choice surgical operation for management of ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis. The addition of diverting ileostomy may reduce septic complications. In this randomized study the investigators compare two groups of patients with stapled ileoanal pouch one of them had diverting ileostomy and in the other this step is omitted.
PUR 0110 is a 100% natural novel investigational medicinal product that has been demonstrated in several in vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies to have potent anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and immunomodulatory effects. This exploratory Phase 2a study is a first-in-patient study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, biomarker effect and efficacy of PUR 0110 rectal enema in patients with active mild-to-moderate distal ulcerative colitis (UC). The study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study. To be eligible for inclusion into the study, patients must either be newly diagnosed or have on-going active mild-to-moderate distal ulcerative colitis of at least 3 months duration confirmed in either case by flexible sigmoidoscopy and biopsy at the Screening Visit. In addition, patients must have a modified Mayo score of ≥5 to ≤10 including a sigmoidoscopy inflammation grade and rectal bleeding scores of ≥2 each. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either PUR 0110 250 mg, 500 mg or 1000 mg or placebo rectal enema in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Patients will self-administer the assigned study medication intrarectally once-daily at bedtime (10:00 p.m +/- 1 hour) for 2 weeks. Patients will be evaluated for safety by adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and concomitant medications. Efficacy evaluations will include the modified Mayo score, patient-defined response and remission, Investigator Assessment of Ulcerative Colitis Symptom Score, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), and biomarkers of inflammation, apoptosis and total cell death, lipid peroxidation and in vivo oxidative stress, and antioxidant defense mechanisms in plasma, serum, urine, feces and biopsy tissue. Patients will have a flexible sigmoidoscopy and biopsy 12 hours after the last dose of study medication.
This is a first-in-man study of a novel investigational botanical drug complex, PUR 0110 rectal enema, that has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects following in vitro and in vivo pharmacology studies, to assess the safety and tolerability of sequential single-ascending doses in normal healthy volunteers and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). As a tertiary objective, the study will also investigate the presence of specific pharmacokinetic markers following the administration of single-dose PUR 0110 at each dose level. The study is designed as a single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, sequential single-ascending dose, placebo-controlled safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study of PUR 0110 rectal enema in 24 normal healthy male volunteers. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to 4 Cohorts of 6 subjects each to receive active drug (PUR 0110 Enema) or placebo enema as follows: 187.5 mg/60 g - Cohort 1, 375 mg/60 g - Cohort 2, 750 mg/60 g - Cohort 3 or 1500 mg/60 g - Cohort 4. Within each Cohort, subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either active treatment (PUR 0110 enema; n = 4) or placebo enema (n = 2). Each subject will receive only 1 dose of assigned study medication and dosing of subjects within each cohort will also be by sequential inclusion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of MMX mesalamine following administration in children and adolescents with ulcerative colitis.
This study was designed to evaluate if subjects who achieve complete remission after 8 weeks of acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD have better long-term outcomes and remain in remission longer compared with subjects who demonstrate only partial remission after acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD. Therefore, subjects who achieve either complete or partial remission will enter into a 12-month maintenance phase, during which they will receive MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 2.4g/day given QD. Remission status for the 2 groups will be evaluated and compared at the end of this 12-month maintenance period. The data obtained from this study will provide scientifically meaningful information to demonstrate that achieving complete remission (clinical and endoscopic remission) is important for a better long-term prognosis, or that the current paradigm of symptomatic treatment is appropriate.
