Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effects of an intravenous (IV) induction and subcutaneous (SC) maintenance administration of ustekinumab on the pharmacokinetic (PK) of a cocktail of representative probe substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2) in participants with Active Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IMU-838 for induction and maintenance therapy with an option for open-label treatment extension in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (CALDOSE-1).
The purpose of this study is to assess the PK of vedolizumab following a single intravenous infusion in healthy adult Chinese participants.
The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the bioavailability of mesalamine
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are chronic debilitating disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that comprise two subtypes; Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Canada has among the highest incidence rates of CD and UC in the world, as high as 20.2 and 19.5 per 100,000 respectively. Although, IBD can occur at any age, it is frequently diagnosed in the second and third decades of life, at a time when vulnerable individuals are entering the prime years of their lives. This age of onset, coupled with the recurrent and frequently relapsing nature of these disorders, can significantly impair the psychological well-being of patients. Therefore, it's not surprising that patients with IBD report a higher burden of depression and anxiety in comparison to the general population. The prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with IBD have previously been linked to the following: (1) Increased risk of surgery; (2) Increased number of relapses; (3) Clinical recurrence; (4) Treatment failure and earlier retreatment; (5) Lower self-reported quality of life, satisfaction, and medication adherence; (6) and Increased health care utilization. Although, depression and anxiety are highly treatable conditions, they are often under-recognized and under- treated in patients with IBD. The most common treatments for these disorders are pharmacological agents and psychological treatments. Psychological treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have extensive support for treatment of depression and anxiety. The major advantage of psychological treatments over pharmacological agents is their ability to sustain improved depression and anxiety symptoms in patients post-treatment. As part of this study, we aim to evaluate the following: Specific Aim #1: Determine whether a psychological intervention, involving web-based CBT, is effective in ameliorating depression and anxiety symptoms in a cohort of adult IBD patients. Specific Aim #2: Determine the durability effect of the intervention on sustaining improved psychiatric symptoms. Specific Aim #3: Determine the impact of a psychological on IBD-specific and psychiatric-specific health care utilization.
Graves disease in ulcerative colitis: The connection between Graves disease and Inflammatory bowel disease is well known in the literature, but thyroid disorders have not been considered extra-intestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis. In most cases, the diagnosis of thyroid disease has preceded that of Inflammatory bowel disease. Early studies have suggested a relationship between thyroid abnormalities and ulcerative colitis . But it is still uncertain whether the coexistence of Grave's and ulcerative colitis diseases is due to a specific reason or a coincidence.
Research of fecal microflora and dysbiosis status in ulcerative colitis (UC) has shown its influential role on the disease pathogenesis. Vedolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody blocking the migration of leukocytes into inflamed intestinal tissue, has been shown to achieve remission in about half of active UC patients. Dietary intervention in UC patients has not been adequately studied. There is a significant clinical gap to achieve a higher efficacy and better clinical outcomes on the treatment of active UC patients. This study proposes to assess the integrated effect of normalization of intestinal dysbiosis through a structured semi-vegetarian dietary intervention in active UC patients who will also be under the standard of care medical therapy (vedolizumab). Significance of investigation for innovation: The pathogenesis of UC has been found to be multi-factorial, including host genetics and dysregulated inflammatory response, and recent research has shown the influential role of gut environmental factors - dysbiosis which has been found the key feature of UC. Vedolizumab has been shown effective (e.g. 47% clinical response rate vs. 25% in placebo group) and is part of the current standard of care treatment in UC. With the observation of drastic increase of IBD patients in Asia, in which has historically low incidence of IBD, it is generally accepted that the westernized diet and urbanization of life style play an important role in IBD pathogenesis. Enteral nutritional therapy has been demonstrated effective in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients; however, the application to adult IBD patients has not been widely accepted partly because of the compliance issue. In addition, unlike CD, neither enteral nutrition nor non-enteral nutrition in patients with active UC has been adequately studied. Therefore, this study proposes a novel approach to assess the integrated effect of a structured dietary intervention in active UC patients who will also be under the current standard of care medical therapy (vedolizumab). After this study achieves the proposed primary or secondary outcome, it will further support the hypothesized synergistic interactive therapeutic effect between the normalization of dysbiosis in the intestine (through dietary intervention) and anti-inflammatory biologics (vedolizumab).
A series of N-of-1 trials will be used to determine the effectiveness of a specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) versus a modified SCD in patients in reducing symptoms and inflammatory burden at both the individual and population level. This is a four-year study. The study staff will recruit up to 60 patients across up to 21 sites in patients aged 7-18 with mild to moderate disease activity.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Neihulizumab (ALTB-168) administered intravenously in patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis who are refractory or intolerant to anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor α and/or anti-integrin treatments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ontamalimab as maintenance therapy treatment of remission, based on composite score of patient-reported symptoms and centrally read endoscopy, in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).
