Filter by:Protocol 610 is enrolling subjects who successfully achieved clinical benefit (reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of at least 100 points) in Protocol 603. Protocol 610 is evaluating the length of initial effect of PROCHYMAL® adult human mesenchymal stem cells and the ability of these cells to successfully re-induce clinical benefit.
This study aims to determine which of 3 doses of a non-absorbable antibiotic Rifaximin is most effective in treating active moderate Crohn's disease. Rifaximin tablets are already marketed in some European countries and the USA to treat traveller's diarrhoea. A new gastro-resistant form of Rifaximin called Rifaximin-Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) will be used in this study. These tablets dissolve in the stomach,releasing gastro-resistant granules which pass into the intestines and deliver Rifaximin directly to the site of the disease. Rifaximin is not absorbed, making it more effective and greatly reducing the frequency of side effects.
The purpose of this Registry study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of adalimumab in CD subjects who are treated as recommended in the product label.
The study includes individuals with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to examine the innate immune system (IIS) by exposing peripheral blood monocytes to various ligands relevant for stimulation of the IIS and study the immune response. Colonic mucosal samples are examined to find gene expression patterns which may distinguish the two forms of disease from each other and from healthy controls. The hypothesis is that the innate immune system has responses unique for the disease states, and that the diseases may be differentiated by examination of gene expression patterns in mucosal biopsies.
The purpose of this study is to compare changes in Perianal Crohn's Disease following use of locally applied 10% metronidazole ointment and a placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether urinary PGE-M levels correlate with Crohn's disease activity and to compare how well urinary PGE-M correlates with other non-invasive biomarkers of disease activity such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and fecal calprotectin.
The endoscopic capsule is a new tool for exploration of the small intestine. The superiority of this technique on the radiological conventional examinations was shown in Crohn's disease. However no standardization of the lesions exists and no score of severity was proposed. The objective of this exploratory and multicentric study is to develop and validate an endoscopic score of severity especially dedicated to the examination by endoscopic capsule of the small intestine. Hundred twenty patients reached of disease of Crohn corresponding to various groups of severity will be included and will have an examination by video-capsule. The recorded examinations will be the standardized collection of all the lesions observed by independent readers, which will make it possible to evaluate the level of reproducibility of the detection of each lesion. Moreover, each reader will provide his total, qualitative and quantitative evaluations, of the severity of the attack of the small intestine. By using the data of only one reader, a score of severity will be built by simple linear function of the reproducible lesions observed. This score will be validated from the data corresponding to other readers of the same examinations, and those corresponding to another sample. Lastly, the aptitude of this score to detect the changes of the severity of the attack of the small intestine and to define the endoscopic cicatrization will be evaluated from data obtained among patients before and after treatment by infliximab or corticoids
The aim of this study is to validate the ability of Capsule Endoscopy (CE) to accurately diagnose small bowel (SB) Crohns disease in patients with symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether Capsule Endoscopy prior to colonoscopy will improve diagnosis in patients with suspected Crohns disease when compared to standard diagnostic testing.
Protocol 603 is enrolling subjects with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease who are intolerant to, or have previously failed therapy with, at least one steroid and at least one immunosuppressant and a biologic monoclonal anti-body to tumor necrosis factor alpha. The protocol investigates the safety and efficacy of using PROCHYMAL® adult human stem cells to induce remission. PROCHYMAL is delivered through a vein in the arm four times over two weeks, for approximately an hour each time.
The primary objective of the Registry was to evaluate the outcomes of pregnancy in women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Crohn's Disease (CD) who were exposed to TYSABRI® at any time within 90 days prior to first day of Last Menstrual Period (LMP) or during pregnancy.
