Filter by:The researches aim to study the effects of DHA (component of fish oil) on patients with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Our hypothesis is that DHA might reverse the problems associated with PSC.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of OPC-6535 (tetomilast) and to determine its optimal dose by once-daily oral administration at 0, 12.5, 25, or 50 mg for 8 weeks in combination with a fixed oral dose of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
Treatment with PPARgamma ligands have been shown to reduces intestinal inflammation in murine models of colitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with local PPARgamma ligand (rosiglitazone) in distal ulcerative colitis.The patients are treated with rosiglitazone enema, once a day, for fourteen days. Disease activity was assessed before and after treatment by endoscopical and clinical activity score.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of various doses of visilizumab in subjects with intravenous steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (IVSR-UC) and to evaluate optimal dosing.
The purpose of this study is to compare the outcome of treatment with nitazoxanide vs. vancomycin for diarrheal disease due to Clostridium difficile in patients who have failed previous treatment with metronidazole.
The investigators propose to study intensively the bacteriology of feces in C. difficile associated diarrheal disease, using a variety of conventional and very up-to-date techniques.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary supplementation with Lactobacillus GG will reduce the rate of failure or relapse following treatment of CDAD with metronidazole.
The purpose of this study is three fold: 1)To collect serum from patients with documented Clostridium difficile infection and test for the presence of antibody to C. difficile toxin at the start and at the end of therapy, and again if a relapse or recurrence occurs. 2)To collect stool samples for test of C. difficile toxin at similar time intervals. 3)To assay random serum samples from the VA lab in order to determine the rate of antibody to C. difficile toxin in our patient population.
In this record review study, our objective is to determine the rates of cure, failure and relapse following treatment of C. difficile colitis with metronidazole.
The purpose of this study is for compassionate use of nitazoxanide in the treatment of diarrheal disease due to Clostridium difficile infection when the patient has failed previous treatment with metronidazole or vancomycin.
