Filter by:Two thirds of patients with Crohn's disease require intestinal surgery at some time in their life. Intestinal strictures, that is narrowing of the bowel due to inflammation and scarring, are the most common reason for surgery. Despite the high frequency, associated disability, and cost there are no are no treatment strategies that aim to improve the outcome of this disease complication. The STRIDENT (stricture definition and treatment) studies aim to determine biochemical and imaging features associated with the development of strictures and in related STRIDENT studies develop strategies for treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the testicular safety of filgotinib in adult males with moderately to severely active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Results of this study may be pooled with the results of a separate study being conducted in participants with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (Protocol GLPG0634-CL-227; NCT03926195) with the same objective. The total planned number of participants in both studies combined will be up to approximately 250 participants.
The purpose of this phase 2a, proof of concept, open-label clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of etrasimod (APD334) in inflammatory bowel disease patients with active skin extra-intestinal manifestations.
The exact origin of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still unknown. The current hypothesis is that IBD is secondary to an abnormal intestinal immun response directed to all or part of the intestinal flora in genetically predisposed individuals. Several experimental studies have demonstrated the ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow or adipose tissue origin to control intestinal inflammation in animal models. However, to date, there are no data regarding the functions of resident MSCs in the colon and small intestine of IBD patients. We hypothesize that dysfunction of resident intestinal MSCs contributes to the disruption of intestinal homeostasis in patients with IBD causing the development of intestinal inflammation. The aim of this research project is to identify, describe and characterize at the molecular and functional level MSCs of the colon and small intestine of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and to compare them with a control population.
NT-proBNP is a major diagnostic and prognostic marker in cardiology, but it is also a new marker for biological inflammation, especially in rheumatology. Its evaluation in chronic inflammatory bowel disease was carried out in a preliminary study, the OPERA study where in a population of 12 patients showed an increase in NT-proBNP correlated with the biological and endoscopic activity of the disease. This larger study is therefore a pilot study that could see NTproBNP as a new biomarker of inflammation in MICI.
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or that does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
The objectives are to: 1) Assess the independent and synergistic efficacy of exercise and nutrition interventions to manage major symptomatic concerns of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), 2) Assess the independent and synergistic efficacy of exercise and nutrition to mitigate inflammation in IBD, and 3) Assess the feasibility of such an intervention in preconception women with IBD. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of anti-inflammatory exercise and nutritional interventions will have a synergistic effect on managing major symptomatic concerns associated with IBD, reducing inflammation, and improving fertility status in preconception women with IBD, as compared to either intervention independently.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of a four-week consumption of a fresh fermented dairy drink containing probiotic strains on Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea and Gastro-Intestinal disorders in adult subjects treated for Helicobacter pylori eradication.
IL-22 is an IL-10 family cytokine that plays major actions to increase intestinal epithelial barrier function and regeneration during experimental colitis. IL-22 binding protein is a small, soluble, and secreted protein potently inhibiting IL-22 actions through preventing the binding with IL-22 Recepteur. This study aims at characterizing how IL-22 binding protein is regulated in Inflammatory bowel disease to better understand the way IL-22 acts on epithelial cells during flares of the disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether trough serum infliximab concentrations at the time of loss of clinical response will identify pediatric participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who would benefit (regain clinical response) from dose escalation above the currently approved dose [5 milligram (mg)/kilogram (kg) every 8 weeks (q8wk)] and the safety of that dose escalation.
