Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab in healing of all layers of the digestive tract (transmural healing) with the help of a score called Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) based on a scan at Week 48.
At enrollment, after informed consent form will be discussed and signed, subjects will undergo complete disease assessment. In this study, 150 adult subjects with IBD will be enrolled at the Gastroenterology Department of the San Raffaele Hospital (50 patients with Crohn's disease, 50 with Ulcerative colitis not undergoing proctocolectomy, and 50 with Ulcerative colitis undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis). All the patients will perform routine investigations with Ileocolonoscopy (IC), according to the current standard of care indications and ECCO guidelines, and they will be assessed by both Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) and Trans-perineal ultrasound (TPUS). Blood and stool samples will be obtained for fecal calprotectin (FC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements, respectively, as normal clinical practice. All the procedures of this study are performed routinely in clinical practice. All the procedures are performed in a single day-visit for the patient.
The study is a single-center, randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial conducted at ZHUMC's endoscopy unit. It aims to assess the short-term effects of probiotic administration on disease course, quality of life, and nutritional status among patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Patients with UC and CD will be recruited from the endoscopy unit's outpatients and divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention probiotic group. The intervention probiotic group will receive the probiotic intervention for 2 months. During the study period, two visits will be scheduled for all patients. At each visit, medical and nutrition surveys will be filled out, and body composition measurements will be conducted. These assessments will help evaluate the impact of probiotic administration on the participants' disease progression, their quality of life, and their nutritional status. Overall, the study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of probiotic supplementation in managing IBD and improving the well-being of patients with these conditions.
The proposed study aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of adapting the CDED to the Mediterranean diet pattern, without compromising its key principles, namely the exclusion of ultra-processed foods with potential pro-inflammatory effects on the intestines. The decision to modify the CDED according to the characteristics of the Mediterranean diet pattern and to evaluate the potential of this modified version of the exclusion diet for Crohn's disease in terms of efficacy and tolerability are the main objectives of this study. These objectives are driven not only by scientific evidence regarding the anti-inflammatory potential and protective role against chronic-degenerative diseases demonstrated by the Mediterranean diet but also to allow for greater adherence to Italian dietary traditions and improve compliance with the dietary regimen. Furthermore, to date, there are no comprehensive multi-omic investigations integrating dietary data with microbiome, metabolome, and transcriptome profiles that can demonstrate the effect of the CDED at "omic" levels. A very recent study on pediatric patients shows interesting results regarding differential profiles of fecal metabolites after administration of CDE or NEE in different weeks of therapy.
This is an exploratory phase II study, to evaluate the impact of these Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) on strictures in Crohn's disease patients with symptomatic intestinal stricture eligible to endoscopic dilatation. The impact of combined treatment by endoscopic dilation and local injection of MSCs will be compared with that of a control group.
In this study twenty-five (25) subjects with Crohn's disease scheduled for possible surgical intervention will be recruited for this study and a PET/MR scan using the collagen-binding radiotracer will be performed. The study aims to establish the performance figures of PET/MR using [68Ga]CBP8-PET for preoperative detection and differentiation of strictures with a fibrotic component in patients with Crohn's disease by using surgical and histologic findings (when available) as the standard for comparison. Furthermore, the investigators will determine the performance figures with which strictures are identified and characterized by PET/MR using [68Ga]CBP8-PET compared to each modality in isolation (PET alone or MR alone). Blood and tissue markers for fibrostenosis will be explored (either predictive or as biomarkers for fibrotic burden), using histologic and molecular testing by using surgical and histologic findings (when available) as the standard for comparison. Lastly the investigators want to determine the performance figures with which strictures are identified and characterized by PET/MR using [68Ga]CBP8-PET compared to each modality in isolation (PET alone or MR alone).
Despite significant advancements in the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), approximately 50% of patients undergo surgical intervention within ten years of diagnosis. Furthermore, more than 70% of these patients experience endoscopic recurrence within one year after surgery. This subset of patients often faces a poorer long-term prognosis and requires long-term intensified medical therapy. Therefore, reducing early postoperative endoscopic recurrence has remained a crucial focus in CD research. From a surgical perspective, there have been limited breakthroughs in improving surgical techniques to reduce the postoperative endoscopic recurrence rate in CD. Recent research indicates that microscopic inflammation at the cut edge of the CD bowel segment is a significant risk factor for postoperative endoscopic recurrence. Mesenteric wrapping is a unique clinical pathological feature of CD. Our retrospective data suggest a clear linear correlation between the degree of mesenteric wrapping and microscopic inflammation in the corresponding bowel segment. Surgical margins determined by mesenteric guidance significantly reduce the postoperative endoscopic recurrence rate and clinical relapse rate compared to the traditional 2 cm margin. However, there is currently no prospective study comparing the efficacy of these two surgical approaches.To address this, investigators plan to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial. This trial will focus on patients with ileocolonic CD who have undergone primary anastomosis without residual disease. investigators aim to compare the postoperative endoscopic recurrence rates between mesenteric-guided margins and the traditional 2 cm margins. Our goal is to determine whether mesenteric-guided margins can reduce the postoperative endoscopic recurrence rate and to conduct relevant mechanistic research. Ultimately, this research may lead to the development of a novel surgical approach for CD based on the findings of this study.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-279 versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to learn if the 3 different doses of TAK-279 reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to the placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate any problems. An endoscopy will be used to check the bowel for inflammation. The participants will be treated with TAK-279 for 52 weeks (1 year). During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 15 times.t
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 active dose regimens of MORF-057 in adult study participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD).
