Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if taking Asacol once a day is as effective as taking Asacol twice or three times a day in keeping ulcerative colitis inactive, and to determine which dosing regimen is easiest to follow. Once daily dosing of Asacol is experimental, and has not been approved by the FDA. Dosing as three times daily is FDA approved. This research is being done because the researchers want to learn what the best methods are for keeping ulcerative colitis inactive, and which way of taking Asacol is most helpful to subjects in continuing to take a medication to control their ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of infliximab (Remicade) in children with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of encapsulated mesalamine Granules (eMG) (formerly referred to as Mesalamine Pellets [MP]) in participants with ulcerative colitis currently in remission.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of interferon-beta-1a in subjects with active ulcerative colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a novel dosage form of a prednisolone ester, called COLAL-PRED®, is useful in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
This is a Phase I dose-escalation study of MDX-1100. patients with ulcerative colitis will be enrolled into one of four dose cohorts, to receive of MDX-1100 at 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 or 10mg/kg. Three to six patients will be enrolled at each dose level, starting at the lowest dose level, for a maximum of 24 patients to be enrolled into the study. The study is designed to establish the safety and tolerability of single doses of MDX-1100 administered in dose-escalating cohorts to patients with ulcerative colitis. Other study objectives include characterizing a pharmacokinetic profile and pharmacodynamic effects of MDX-1100 and determination of immunogenic response to MDX-1100.
Long-standing ulcerative colitis is associated with an increased cancer risk. Chromoendoscopy with dye spraying can detect subtle abnormalities that are not visible with standard endoscopy. The purpose of this study is to determine if chromoendoscopy with fewer "targeted biopsies" can replace standard colonoscopy with multiple "random" biopsies.
The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy and safety of a new tablet formulation and dosing regimen of balsalazide disodium dosed twice daily in achieving clinical improvement in subjects with mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis after 8 weeks of therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of visilizumab in patients with severe ulcerative colitis that has failed to respond to steroid therapy. What is visilizumab? Visilizumab is an antibody designed to reduce inflammation. Antibodies are proteins that are normally made by the immune system to help defend the body from infections and other foreign substances. Visilizumab is thought to selectively affect the immune system to decrease inflammation and, in doing so, it may prevent damage to the intestine caused by ulcerative colitis. Who can participate in this study? The target population for this study is adults with severe ulcerative colitis that has resisted intravenous (IV) steroids. This study is open to patients with the following characteristics: - 16-70 year olds - A diagnosis of ulcerative colitis verified by colonoscopy or barium enema performed within 36 months prior to study entry - Active disease despite ongoing treatment with steroids How is this study conducted? Eligible participants will be administered visilizumab as one daily injection on two consecutive days. All medication and study-related care, except for the costs of in-patient hospitalization, are provided to qualified participants at no cost. This includes all visits, examinations and laboratory work. How does one get more information? This study is currently enrolling patients at hospitals and clinics in North America and Europe.

There is broad support for the hypothesis that Ulcerative colitis is an auto-immune disease. Rituximab is an antibody protein that removes a subgroup of white blood cells (B lymphocytes) from the circulation. These cells have the capacity to generate the auto-antibodies that typify auto-immune disease. Although Rituximab has been mainly used for treating B lymphocyte malignancies (lymphoma) it has also been used with promising results in Rheumatoid arthritis and has an excellent safety record. This is a small placebo-controlled trial to assess its efficacy and safety in patients with steroid-resistant active ulcerative colitis.
