Filter by:The purpose of this non-interventional, multicenter, post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to assess rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), plaque psoriasis (PS), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients' adherence attitudes (beliefs) to maintenance therapy with adalimumab monotherapy or combination therapy with methotrexate (in participants with RA) and to investigate whether there were correlations between such beliefs and adherence to maintenance treatment.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an immune mediated chronic intestinal condition. It includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease(CD). probiotics have been shown to be effective in varried clinical conditions ranging fron infantile diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis,helicobacter pylori infections, etc.
The objective of this observational study was to assess changes in fecal calprotectin levels and its suitability as a monitoring tool in participants with moderate-to-severe Crohn's Disease who were treated with adalimumab.
The costs and potential complications (side effects) of therapies currently used to treat Crohn's disease could be reduced if a non-invasive test existed that determined which therapies benefit patients and which do not. A non-invasive test is a test that does not involve cutting or entering the skin. Currently, once therapies are prescribed, doctors rely solely on clinical parameters to gauge whether the therapies are helpful. This includes evaluation of overall general well-being, abdominal pain, and number of liquid stools per day. There is no established and reliable non-invasive test that can predict whether a person is responding to therapy early in the course of treatment when these evaluations may be inconclusive. During this research study we will look for changes in sugar metabolism on low-dose PET/CT before and 2 weeks after the first infusion of infliximab therapy. This is to find out if these changes can predict clinical response and steroid-free remission at two, six and 12 months, in patients with Crohn's disease.
In this study, the investigators want to see if Bacteriotherapy (also referred to as stool transplantation) improves the symptoms and decreases inflammation in children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Examples of IBD are Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Additionally, researchers want to learn whether this experimental therapy delays the need for starting additional medications to treat pediatric IBD.
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to assess clinical efficacy and safety of NNC0114-0006 in subjects with active Crohn's disease.
This study investigates whether the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) can maintain clinical remission in pediatric and adult patients with Crohn's disease.
The investigators will be assessing the efficacy of a Model Based Iterative Reconstruction algorithm (MBIR) as a noise reduction tool in computed tomographic (CT) examinations for Crohn's Disease. MBIR is computer adapted mathematical calculation technique that generates CT images with less picture degradation (noise) than traditional computer reconstruction techniques such as FBP (Filtered Back Projection) and ASIR (Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction), for enteric Crohn's Disease findings. The research involves collection of data from subjects standard of care diagnostic CT scan and from a research low radiation dose scan performed immediately following their diagnostic scan. We will determine the impact on image quality, interpretability, and Crohn's Disease findings of the low dose scan compared to the standard of care scan. FBP, MBIR, and ASIR are post processing tools that do not alter the scan acquisition itself.
Hospitalization for kidney stones in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) population is common, particularly among Crohn's patients who had a small bowel resection. This patient population experiences a lifetime occurrence of kidney stone formation as high as 25% accompanied with a high rate of recurrence (the typical rate of stone formation is ~10% in the non IBD population). Giving oral calcium is used to bind oxalate in the intestine in an attempt to reduce the amount of oxalate that is absorbed into the body and to reduce urinary oxalate levels. However, there are no defined guidelines for the optimum dosing of calcium. This study's primary objective is to scientifically define an appropriate range of calcium supplementation that reduce the level of oxalate found in the urine of patients living with inflammatory bowel disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence, prevalence, clinical characteristics and prognosis of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis over time in a district of Seoul, Korea.
