Filter by:It's of great importance to effectively induce and maintain disease remission in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Vedolizumab (VDZ) is known for its high safety profile and confirmed therapeutic efficacy in UC treatment. However, according to the experience in clinical practice, the effect onset speed of vedolizumab is relatively slow. Upadacitinib (UPA), however, works quickly, which complements the defect of slow onset of VDZ induction. However, the safety of UPA used in situations such as infection and tumors is inferior to that of VDZ, and long-term use requires testing for the risk of adverse events such as deep vein thrombosis. Therefore, if the advantages of long-term maintenance therapy safety of VDZ and rapid induced remission of UPA are fully utilized, the combination of VDZ and UPA induction for 8 weeks, followed by the use of single drug VDZ in maintenance therapy, can maximize the clinical benefits of UC patients. Due to the lack of high-level clinical research data at home and abroad, we plan to conduct a multicenter prospective randomized controlled clinical study to provide the evidence-based basis for the efficacy analysis of the sequential treatment of moderate to severe UC patients with VDZ and UPA.
This research study is testing whether changes in sleep timing and morning light treatment may have an impact on symptoms related to inflammatory bowel disease.
The purpose of this clinical study is the development of physiologic endpoint of inflammation in pediatric patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically subtypes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The novel medical device evaluates the patient's sensory response to each of the three sensory nerve fiber types. Data from the device provides an assessment of disease activity and a more precise approach to treatment.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab subcutaneous (SC) induction treatment is in treating moderately to severely active CD in adult participants. Risankizumab is an approved drug for adults with CD. This study comprises of a Period A and a Period B. In Period A, participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups to receive either risankizumab SC or Placebo. In Period B, based on response, participants will receive risankizumab SC Dose B or Placebo. Participants who do not have improvement in CD symptoms at Week 12 will receive risankizumab SC Dose C and participants with worsening CD symptoms in period B will receive risankizumab SC. Approximately 276 adult participants with a diagnosis of moderately to severely active CD will be enrolled in approximately 250 sites globally. Participants will receive SC induction treatment of risankizumab or matching placebo for up to 24 weeks in Period A and B. The duration of the study will be approximately 49 weeks.
Study Design: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled, Open-label Non-inferiority Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Subcutaneous (SC) Infliximab (IFX) with and without Immunomodulators during Induction treatment in Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease. Primary endpoint: The proportion of patients in corticosteroid-free clinical remission (as defined by a Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI)<150) and endoscopic response (as defined by a simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) drop of at least 50%) at week 26. Accrual and feasibility: This study will enroll 158 subjects at approximately 20 sites in the Netherlands (peripheral and academic hospitals). The estimated enrollment is 0.5 patient/centre/month leading to an inclusion duration of 16 months once all centres are open. The first enrolment is anticipated in Q1 2021. Treatment, dosage and administration: Eligible patients will be randomized to receive SC IFX monotherapy (240mg at week 0 and week 2 and then 120mg every other week (EOW) OR SC IFX (240mg at week 0 and week 2 and then 120mg EOW) in combination with immunosuppression.
The choice of the optimal timing for surgery in Crohn's disease is a challenging issue and diagnostic tools able to estimate the degree of fibrosis are of great interest in this context. Indeed, inflammatory intestinal loops are more likely to respond to medical therapies, wheareas fibrotic loops need to be treated surgically. Shear-wave elastography, which is a non-invasive and largely available technique for the study of tissue elasticity, is very promising and a recent meta-analysis has evaluated its diagnostic accuracy vs histologic examination in patients with stenosing Crohn's disease, showing encouraging results. Aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic agreement between elastographic parameters (mean, median, stability index) and the degree of intestinal fibrosis evaluated on the surgical specimen.
ZL-82 is an oral janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. In vitro biological mass spectrometry identification test proves that ZL-82 can selectively and irreversibly inhibit JAK3. It has obvious safety advantages, with a wide therapeutic window and controllable cardiotoxicity. This is also demonstrated from preliminary GLP-conditions of acute toxicity in SD rats and Beagle dogs. Results of 4-week long-term toxicity in Beagle dogs also support this notion. Therefore, ZL-82 has the potential to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It Used to relieve and heal swelling, pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that may be caused by rheumatoid arthritis.The drug is intended to be used in patients with RA to relieve and heal swelling, pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that may be caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Pharmacodynamic studies show that ZL-82 has a strong inhibitory effect on JAK3 with IC50 of 2.8 nM, and has no obvious inhibitory effect on JAK1, JAK2 and TYK2. Compared with the similar drug Tofacitinib, its inhibitory effect on JAK3 subtype is 1nM, but its inhibition IC50 for JAK1 subtype and JAK2 subtype are 112nM and 20nM, respectively.and its selectivity is 100-fold and 20-fold, respectively.Also, the selectivity multiples of ZL-82 were 100-fold and 20-fold than tofacitinib , respectively, which indicates that ZL-82 is more selective than the marketed Tofacitinib.This allows ZL-82 to precisely inhibit JAK kinase and block a series of cytokines in the downstream signaling pathway. And show significant effect on rheumatoid arthritis. The experimental results showed that in DTH and CIA models, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg of this variety could dose-dependently inhibit joint swelling in mice. Objectives of Study Main Purpose: 1. To evaluate the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetic characteristics of a single oral dose of ZL-82 tablets in healthy adult subjects; 2. To explore the effect of eating on the PK of oral ZL-82 tablets in healthy adult subjects; 3. To evaluate the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of ZL-82 tablets after multiple oral administration in healthy adult subjects.
The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in small bowel uptake of radioligand [11C]AZ14132516 after IV administration of a single dose of AZD7798 in healthy participants and participants with Crohn's disease. Study details include: - The study duration will be variable (adaptive design). - There will be 5 in-person study visits: 1 screening visit, 1 visit for the baseline PET examination, 1 residential (24h) visit for AZD7798 administration and 2 visits for repeated PET examinations. There will be a final follow-up virtual visit (telephone call).
The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with adalimumab or vedolizumab together with ustekinumab in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, and the effect of treatment with vedolizumab alone, after the dual targeted treatment. The study is conducted in two parts. In Part A, participants will receive the dual targeted treatment (vedolizumab together with either adalimumab or ustekinumab). In part B, participants will receive vedolizumab only. Part B will include participants who responded to the treatment in Part A. Each participant will be followed up for at least 26 weeks after the last dose of treatment.
