Filter by:The study will investigate efficacy of STW5-II as add-on therapy on the rate to remission in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis in an acute flare.
The purpose of this study is to describe clinical course of newly diagnosed moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (chronic inflammatory disease of the colon) in tertiary referral hospitals in Korea for 5-year follow-up under usual care.
Bioactive compounds from mango are bioavailable and their anti-inflammatory efficacy has been demonstrated in animals and humans. However, the efficacy of mangoes has not previously been compared with respect to mild inflammatory bowel disease. In order to justify future pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses in human clinical trials, a pilot assessment to determine efficacy in preventing or resolving Inflammatory bowel disease is a necessary step. Therefore, in this aim we will determine the clinical relevance of mango as an adjuvant treatment to conventional therapy in Inflammatory bowel disease . The effects of mango with common drug treatment in mild-moderate Inflammatory bowel disease will be compared to the drug-treatment alone. If mango or any other polyphenolic-rich food could be identified as helpful in shortening or reducing severity of episodes of inflammatory bowel disease, the addition of polyphenolics to conventional drug treatment in Inflammatory bowel disease would have a significant impact on public health.
Manipulation of the intestinal microbiota through FMT is a potential therapeutic target for IBD patients. Studies are now required to determine if repeated FMT can overcome the apparent immune response to FMT thereby maintaining sustained clinical improvement and remission. Prior to a large randomized controlled trial of FMT in UC we will carry out a feasibility study to determine if serial FMTs can sustain a clinical response and maintain stability of transplanted microbiota.
The goal of the study is to evaluate the use of Ulcerative Colitis Diet for Induction of Remission. The investigators have postulated that we developed could be beneficial for patients with Ulcerative Colitis. To date, no study has explored this possibility.
The aim of this study is to determine the tolerability and potential efficacy of dietary therapy, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This is a single center, open labelled study designed to determine tolerability, preliminary safety and potential efficacy in pediatric patients with CD and UC. The study patients will be recruited from Seattle Children's GI clinic. the investigators will enroll 10 patients with mild to moderate CD (defined as PCDAI score of 10-29) or Ulcerative colitis (PUCAI 10-60) ages 8 to 21 years. Each patient will be in the study for approximately 12 weeks.
This study will estimate the absolute bioavailability of subcutaneously injected GS-5745, characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GS-5745 after subcutaneous (SC) injection and intravenous (IV) administration, and evaluate the formation of anti-GS-5745 antibodies after SC and IV administration.
This study proposes to examine the effect of diet as a modifiable risk factor among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Flax seeds contain many bioactive constituents which have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic effects. These bioactive compounds represent novel classes of pharmacologically active compounds which may represent new options to treat chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Participants with mild to moderately severe UC will supplement their current medications with flaxseed lignan-enriched complex (FLC). This is a 12 week double blind placebo controlled study with assessment throughout. Stool and blood samples (biomarkers) as well as bowel assessment via sigmoidoscopy will be evaluated before and after the intervention. The treatment arm consists of 300 mg FLC taken orally twice daily.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum effective dose (MED) of Interleukin-2 in subjects with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
RATIONALE: A substantial proportion of children and teenagers with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) referred for endoscopy do not have the disease. The investigators designed a clinical decision rule that included a calprotectin stool test to discern which patients require further investigations. The accuracy of this diagnostic strategy is 88.5% with a low risk of missing IBD cases. Although the number of negative endoscopies was reduced after introduction of this strategy, still 22% of the referred children and teenagers underwent an unnecessary invasive test. S100A12 (calgranulin C) is a cytoplasmic protein secreted exclusively by activated neutrophils and this stool marker may be more IBD-specific than calprotectin. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the specificity of S100A12 is superior to the specificity of calprotectin without sacrificing sensitivity HYPOTHESIS: Inclusion of the calgranulin C stool test will improve the specificity of the screening-strategy.
