Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a idiopathic, chronic and frequently disabling inflammatory disorder of the intestines characterized by a dysregulated mucosal immune response that affect more than a million Americans. This current protocol was established in 1996 with the goal of identifying the genetic and environmental components that contribute to the development of IBD, especially in families.
To assess the safety and tolerability of single subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) doses of AMG 181 in healthy subjects and of a single SC dose in subjects with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC)
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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate a new technique: Close Rectal Dissection (CRD) as restorative surgery for Ulcerative Colitis patients: the Close Rectal Ileo Pouch Anal Anastomosis (CR-IPAA). Clinical outcome and quality of life will be compared to the conventional Ileo Pouch Anal Anastomosis (C-IPAA) and the Ileo Neo Rectal Anastomosis (INRA).
This pilot, randomized phase I/II trial studies how well inositol works in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with abnormal cells (dysplasia) associated with inflammation of the colon (colitis). Patients with colitis-associated dysplasia may have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Inositol is a vitamin-like substance that may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Confirmation of safety profile of Pentasa slow release tablets 500 mg in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Open-label, 8 week study, to assess the efficacy and safety of oral Budesonide-MMX 9 mg Extended-release Tablets in patients with mild to moderate, active ulcerative colitis who are not in remission based on the Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity Index in study CB-01-02/01 (parent study [NCT00679432]).
