Filter by:This study will be conducted in healthy male or female subjects using a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose design. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled; 3 healthy subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2 (2 active, 1 placebo) and 8 healthy subjects in Cohorts 3 to 5 (6 active, 2 placebo). The following CPSI-2364 doses are proposed: 1 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 90 mg, and 270 mg.Safety will be evaluated throughout the study and include physical examinations, vital signs assessments, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), routine clinical laboratory tests (including blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis), and adverse event (AE) assessments. Vital sign assessments and 12-lead ECGs will be performed repeatedly over the 24-hour observation period. Venous blood samples will be taken at specified intervals and tested for the presence of CPSI-2364.
This study aims to compare azathioprine versus mesalazine tablets for the prevention of clinical relapse in postoperative Crohn's disease (CD) patients with moderate or severe endoscopic recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a probiotic formulation, VSL#3, on intestinal permeability in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease.
The objective of this NIH-specific substudy is immunologic monitoring of cytokine and immune cell responses in subjects undergoing treatment with AIN457 (human monoclonal anti-human interleukin-17A) for moderate to severe Crohn's disease. Recent data suggests that interleukin-17 (IL-17) is an important mediator of inflammation in certain animal models of Crohn's disease, and treatment aimed at blocking the IL-23-IL-17 axis can ameliorate the inflammatory changes. In addition, elevated expression of IL-l7 has been found in the gut tissue of patients with active Crohn's disease. This substudy will measure changes in cytokine production, relevant RNA expression, and immune cell populations (in the periphery and lamina propria) for correlation with clinical outcomes in order to explore the mechanisms of therapeutic response.
This is a study of the electronical dosing tool MedicPen and it's qualities with regards to user friendliness and medication compliance.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of certolizumab pegol treatment in pediatric subjects, aged 6 to 17, with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The target enrollment is 160 subjects.
This is a single center, open label forced dose titration study designed to determine the tolerability of curcumin in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study will provide initial tolerability and safety data in pediatric patients with IBD. Twenty patients with IBD in remission or with mild disease (score <34 on PUCAI or score <30 on the PCDAI) on sulfasalazine or mesalamine aged 8 to 18 years will be enrolled into this study. Each patient will participate in the study for nine weeks. From this study an appropriate dosage will be determined to proceed with a double blinded placebo controlled study.
Up to ¾ of patients who have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) will have to undergo bowel resection during their lifetime despite modern medical therapies. Unfortunately, disease recurrence is common and endoscopic detection of recurring inflammation precedes clinical relapse. Endoscopic investigation is therefore recommended to manage these patients. This multi center, prospective study compares the conventional endoscopic method, ileo-colonoscopy to a new technique, i.e., colonic capsule endoscopy (CCE). CCE enables investigation of the small bowel and the large intestines by using a double-sided video camera with about 10 hours acquisition time. This study aims to evaluate the performance of CCE to detect postoperative recurrence of CD and detection rate of colonic and anastomotic recurrence is compared to ileo-colonoscopy. Proximal (small bowel) lesions are additionally recorded and impact on clinical management of the findings is accounted for. Moreover, safety aspects and influence of the findings on progress of the disease are monitored. All consecutive patients who are operated for CD in any of the participating study centers are eligible. Included are patients with segmental small bowel, ileocecal or segmental colonic resection. In some cases capsule retention has been reported at an average of 2-3% with CD patients at elevated risk. Therefore, patency capsule is performed before application of the video CCE to exclude bowel obstruction. Sample size estimation results in n = 70, requiring each 140 capsule endoscopes and 140 patency capsules for performance of postoperative screening (ca 4-8 weeks postoperatively) and detection of postoperative recurrence (ca 4-8 months postoperatively).
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate that Pentasa administered as a 2 g morning dose and a 4 g evening dose is efficacious in active mild to moderate CD.
To compare treatment outcome in patients with Crohn's disease with secondary loss of response to infliximab (i.e. initial good response follow by loss of response) treated according to current standards based only on clinical features versus treatment based on serum levels of infliximab and anti-infliximab antibody (Ab) status.
