View clinical trials related to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
Filter by:Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are chronic, relapsing and destructive inflammatory disorder of the intestinal wall. A treat-to-target approach with tight monitoring of intestinal inflammatory lesions is recommended to prevent organ damage and impaired quality of life. Because clinical scores and laboratory assessments have shown poor correlation with intestinal inflammation, endoscopic investigation has to be performed frequently as a reference standard. Due to the fact that colonoscopy (CS) is poorly accepted by patients, expensive, time consuming and harbors the risk of complications, new imaging strategies are required to overcome invasive procedures. The aim of this non-interventional prospective cross-sectional observational study is to investigate the feasibility of using intestinal motility quantified by intestinal ultrasound (US) to evaluate disease activity. The outcomes of intestinal motility detected by ultrasound will be compared with endoscopic and histopathological reference standards in adult patients with IBD
Phase-IV, national, multicentric, non-randomized, observational real-life study. The goal of this stud is to investigate the patient's benefits in terms of quality of life and work ability resulting from the switch from infliximab i.v. to s.c. in patients with gastroenterological or rheumatological indication at month 12.Patients who are eligible but were switched before the inclusion in this study will also be enrolled, and the data already collected according to clinical practice and consistent with the study outcome measures will be used retrospectively. All patients will be followed up according to the standard of care of each participating center. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To investigate the effectiveness at month 2, 6 and 12 after switching to infliximab s.c. 2. To investigate the safety profile at month 2, 6 and 12 after switching to infliximab s.c. 3. To investigate the difference between patients with rheumatological diseases and patients with IBD in terms of quality of life and work, effectiveness and safety at month 2, 6 and 12 after switching. 4. To investigate the presence of baseline predictors for drug persistence at month 12 (sex, age, disease type, disease severity, body mass index, concomitant medications, smoking habit, presence of comorbidities). 5. To investigate whether there is any change between baseline and week 52 in the following aspects: - Job type and need for any authorization to go to the hospital to receive the study drug - Distance and duration of the travel home-hospital - Mode of travel home-hospital - Need for a caregiver to be present - Time spent at hospital - Patient's preference for the way of study drug administration expressed on a 10-grades VAS scale. The study period for observation will be 12 months from the date of switch. At week 0, month 2, 6 and 12 from the date of the switch, clinical activity, safety data and biomarker levels will be collected. For those patients who have had an endoscopic evaluation of the disease within 2 months of inclusion and repeat the endoscopic evaluation at 12 months ± 8 weeks, endoscopic data will also be collected (valid only in the presence of IBD). In those centers where a blood sample to analyze the minimum levels and anti-drug antibodies of infliximab has been collected and/or stored within 2 months prior to the date of transition, the patient will be asked to give informed consent to the use of this sample and to provide a blood sample for the same analysis at week 0, month 2 and 12. These samples will be analyzed and compared to evaluate the immunogenicity of the drug. These analyzes will be centralized in one lab.
Nutritional Saffron supplement has been widely used as food supplement and has known anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory activities. The investigators use saffron extract in Egyptian patients with ulcerative colitis for 8 weeks.
The goal of this research is to compare alterations of gut microbiota and fecal metabolomics alterations between inflammatory bowel disease patients infected with or without Clostridioides difficile. The main questions it aim to answer are: which bacterial genus or fecal metabolites can discriminate IBD patients infected or more likely to be infected with Clostridioides difficile and their role in the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile. type of study: observational study participant population/health conditions 1. population diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease 2. Having diarrhea Participants will be included in this research. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare healthy people without IBD or any diarrhea to see if disease or diarrhea would affect the gut microbiota and metabolites.
Sexual dysfunction [SD] is a significant health burden characterized by a disturbance in sexual desire and psychophysiological changes in the sexual response cycle, resulting in marked distress and interpersonal difficulty (4). As known, both SD and depression are interrelated, so, depression may be an important determinant of sexual functioning in patients with IBD(5).
This study is a retrospective pharmacological study, of a historical cohort. Collection of Retrospective data from February 2020 to 30 September 2021 The index date is the date of COVID-19 positive PCR test. The data will be collected until last news (last clinical visit or death). There are no defined study visits. In the course of the study, the clinical data recorded are those corresponding to the standard medical procedure. The goal of this study is to assess the impact on continuing or stopping adalimumab treatment on the occurrence of a severe COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) in patients with Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Disease (IMID), during the first month after the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. To our knowledge, no comparisons have been performed between IMID patients stopping or not their maintenance treatment. In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, the goal is to minimize the risk of disease flare while simultaneously minimizing the risk of severe COVID-19. In this study, we hypothesized that patients treated by adalimumab for IMID might not be susceptible to severe COVID-19 disease course.
The Objective Of This Study Is To Estimate The Correlation Between Disease Activity In IBD, Inflammatory Markers And Peripheral Arthritis After Exclusion Of Other Causes Arthritis
Constitution of a biobank of tissues, whole blood and plasma samples and stools to identify markers associated with treatment response, postoperative morbidity including neuro-cognitive and mood complications and prognosis of Inflammatory Bowel disease or colorectal cancer.
Patients with IBD are randomized to oral administration of vitamin B5 and placebo based on the standard treatment, exploring whether Vitamin B5 can increase the clinical remission rate of IBD patients and improve the treatment effect.
The main purpose of this research is to identify incidence of jiunt manifestations by its both types axial and periphral in IBD patients, its types , relation to IBD activity, lines of treatment using and how they are effective in prevention and in treatment of these joint manifestations.
