Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. CD may cause tiredness, loose stools with or without bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study evaluates how safe and effective ABBV-154 is in participants treated for moderately to severely active CD. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. ABBV-154 is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of CD. In the induction period, there is a 1 in 5 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Depending on the dose received in the induction period, there is a 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo in the maintenance period. Around 265 participants 18-75 years of age with moderately to severely active CD will be enrolled in the study at approximately 200 sites worldwide. The study is compromised of a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled induction period, followed by either a 12-week double-blind re-induction period for non-responders or a 40-week double-blind placebo-controlled maintenance period for responders. In the maintenance period, responders will be randomized to receive subcutaneous placebo or ABBV-154 in 2 different doses every other week. Participants in the placebo group who are initial responders will receive ABBV-154 in the maintenance period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care due to study procedures. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Coral is conducting a large study comparing and predicting the relative effectiveness of different medications for autoimmune patients. Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who have been diagnosed with either Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease and are undergoing treatment are eligible to participate. Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Psoriasis (Ps) will also be enrolled. A novel clinical test will be performed to predict the responsiveness of a particular patient to different immune modulating therapies used in these conditions.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong incurable condition that causes inflammation of the intestinal tract of humans. The exact cause of CD is unknown, but genetics, diet, and the gut microbiome are all thought to play a major role. Many patients with CD will require surgery to remove affected portions of the gut, with ileocecal resections being the most common procedure performed. Regrettably, there is up to an 85% chance that disease returns to the surgical site. Strong immune suppressive medications may help to prevent disease relapse. However, patients are then at risk of serious side effects. Currently, no ideal post-op care exists for CD patients. This study aims to assess whether a post-op synbiotic therapy (i.e. probiotics plus dietary fiber) prevents disease relapse in participants with CD. To test this, participants will consume probiotics (strains of bifidobacteria) before their surgery and then probiotics plus fiber supplements after surgery. Probiotics are live bacteria that have been shown to reduce inflammation of the gut. Fiber is given after surgery to help promote beneficial bacterial taxa and prevent less favorable bacterial taxa from triggering CD relapse. Patients will take the supplements for 6 months following surgery. They will be seen monthly to assess the effects of treatment on quality of life, symptoms of disease recurrence, inflammatory markers, and the gut microbiome. All patients will also undergo a colonoscopy at the end of the study to check for endoscopic reoccurrence.
The purpose of Study D5271C00002 (Legacy #3150-303-008) is to permit participants in D5271C00001 (Legacy #3150-301-008) to receive open-label brazikumab in Study D5271C00002 (Legacy #3150-303-008). This will permit long-term observation of safety in these participants with brazikumab.
This is a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group multicenter induction study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and safety of OPS-2071 (150, 300, or 600 mg twice a day [BID]) versus placebo, as add-on therapy in participants with Crohn's disease who show symptoms of active inflammation despite being on ongoing treatment.
This study evaluates the effect of Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) in addition to different regimes of corticosteroid (CS) therapy (Prednisone) compared to CS alone in adults participants with active Crohn's Disease, on symptoms and inflammation after 6 weeks of treatment. Participants will be randomized to three treatment arms: standard CS, standard CS with EEN, short course CS with EEN. Participants will be assessed through questionnaires for gut symptoms, quality of life, mood changes and dietary patterns and potential mechanisms will be investigated by collecting stool samples for characterization of gut bacterial profiles, collection of blood to determine inflammatory markers and evaluation of gut motility before and after treatment. The investigators hypothesize that six weeks of EEN with CS will be more effective than CS alone in inducing clinical remission in patients with active CD, as well as leading to beneficial changes in the composition and/or metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota, gastrointestinal transit and inflammatory burden. Furthermore, six weeks of EEN in addition to a short course of CS will have similar efficacy than EEN with standard course of CS and reduced number of adverse events.
This study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of brazikumab versus placebo (Stage I) and versus an active comparator (Stage 2) in participants with moderately to severely active CD and will include assessments of clinical response as demonstrated by improvement of symptoms and colonic mucosal appearance as observed on endoscopy
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of UTTR1147A in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD), enrolling up to 320 participants from the parent studies: Phase Ib Study GA29469 (NCT02749630) and Phase II Study GA39925 (NCT03558152).
