Filter by:This study will be a multicentre randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy between balloon dilatation and self-expanding metallic stent placement for endoscopic treatment of stenosis in Crohn´s Disease.
Prospective randomized comparative effectiveness trial designed to compare fixed dosing and weight-based dosing of corticosteroids in patients with Crohn's disease flares.
The primary objectives of the study are: -To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe active Crohn's Disease（CD）
This study aims to investigate the role of non-genetic factors in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.An exploratory study to investigate differences between the epigenome, microbiota and functional immunology in twins discordant for inflammatory bowel disease.
Food intake is mainly controlled through interactions between the gut and brain (the homeostatic control) and through our environment, with food exposure, mood and past experiences (the hedonic control) playing a major role. The link between the gut and the brain is mainly controlled through enteroendocrine cells (EC). These cells in the bowel sense nutrients in the food and link with the brain to control how much we eat. They make a number of hormones that link with the brain to control one's eating habits. Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory disease of the bowel which can present with a number of symptoms including weight loss and loss of appetite. We thought some time ago that an increase in the number and function of these EC could play a central role. Since then we have carried out work which has shown that in CD these EC increase in number and produce more hormones after a meal. This finding could have a negative effect on food intake. This would be one explanation to the symptoms so commonly experienced by these patients. In CD we thus feel that there might be an imbalance in the appetite control. We expect an increasingly sensitive gut to food intake and a subdued mood and perception to food reward and that this imbalance will lead to a decrease in food reward and consequently a decrease in food intake. This study will be carried out using Healthy Volunteers and CD patients. We plan to measure food intake though telephone interviews and plan to analyse eating behaviour through 5 questionnaires.This study will help us to improve our understanding of what it is that controls food intake. This will be particularly important to patients with CD who routinely lose weight and appetite.
The primary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe active Crohn's Disease（CD） - To evaluate the clinical efficacy of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe active CD.
To determine the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of ABT-494 in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease with a history of inadequate response to or intolerance to Immunomodulators or anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapy.
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of dual energy computerized tomography (DE-CT) in predicting the need for surgery in patients with Crohn's disease and intestinal lesions with obstructive symptoms. Patients with known Crohn's disease which were scheduled to perform abdominal CT for obstructive symptoms preformed it in a dual energy protocol and then followed for an outcome of surgery. DE-CT parameters were then compared between patients who underwent surgery and those who did not.
There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microecological is closely associated with the development of IBD. So the standardized fecal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators will recruit 40 patients with IBD (20 cases of Ulcerative Colitis and 20 cases of Crohn's disease) in China. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized fecal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with mesalazine, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators propose to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Standardized Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment.
Goal is to prospectively determine if stool calprotectin and change in bowel wall thickness and hyperemia, as seen on small bowel ultrasound, at week 0, 14, and 54 can be used to predict response at week 54 to infliximab in pediatric patients with small bowel Crohn's Disease.
