Filter by:Over the last decade, the use of mini-organ or organoids has been increasingly developed in fundamental research. Indeed, digestive organoids represent an essential advance compared to classical culture systems (epithelial cell lines, immortalized cells) since they preserve in culture the functional complexity present in vivo (architecture, different cell types). They also have the advantage of being able to be propagated indefinitely (unlike explants), minimizing the use of animal models and reducing the amount of tissue required. Finally, their growth and development depends on the origin of the sample (the organoid will develop differently if the cell source comes from a patient suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease, for example), thus generating models of human pathologies to better determine their physiopathology. The use of organoids in biomedical research has proven to be an indispensable tool for the understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in epithelial renewal and the screening of molecules and ingredients for applications in the health and agri-food sectors.
This is an open-label, single arm, multicenter, Phase 2a study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MORF-057 in adult patients with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
This study aims to assess trough, TREM-1 levels and efficacy of IFX and ADA in IBD patients.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether a proactive therapeutic drug monitoring strategy, introduced early during treatment, improves Infliximab (IFX) durability, efficacy and safety in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease. Patients with an indication to receive IFX, based on current clinical practice recommendations, will receive the drug either based on IFX concentrations determined before every IFX infusion, starting from the third infusion, or at standard dosing. Approximately 90 patients will be included in this research study. Patients enrolled will be in the study for approximately 12 months.
Differential diagnosis of functional and organic intestinal pathology is carried out in line with approved clinical guidelines and includes a significant list of interventions. However, considering the possibility of an "overlap" between functional and organic diseases, as well as the non-specificity of a number of assessment parameters, it is advisably to define new diagnostic approaches and reliable cell and molecular markers, that will update and ensure the precision diagnostics of intestinal diseases. The integrative functional, cell and molecular markers will create the basis and possibilities for the personalized selection of patient therapy. The study is intended to develop the methods of precision diagnostics based on cellular-molecular profiling with an assessment of functional parameters of the intestine in functional and organic intestinal diseases.
This study is therefore postulated as a clear alternative that evaluates patients´quality of life, and recognises fecal calprotectin as an inflammatory marker. Longitudinal, prospective, multi-center cohort study to measure the impact that the therapeutic attitude (treatment intensification/de-intensification o escalation/de-escalation) has on the quality of life of patients with UC given a colonoscopy revealing mucosal healing (Mayo 0, Mayo 1); considering as treatment intensification/de-intensification a dose increase or decrease on the same line of treatment, and escalation/de-escalation if there is a change to a new line of treatment.
The aim of this project is to start a biological and clinical collection of patients presenting systemic autoimmune disease. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies
This study compares the effectiveness and stability of intestinal tablet (OST), an oral sulfate table (OST), developed in the form of pills, with 2L-PEG/Asc for examinees aged 70 or older who are scheduled for colonoscopy.
The study aims to examine effectiveness of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) on sensory, digestive, and eating behaviors in children currently receiving therapy.
This is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing planned surgery for intestinal failure. The aims of the study are: - To prospectively characterise preoperative bacterial populations amongst patients undergoing surgery for intestinal failure - To examine the relationship between preoperative bacteriology and surgical site infection (SSI) in this patient group - To investigate the effect of surgery and surgical site infection on generic and wound specific quality of life measures
