Filter by:The primary objective is to obtain stool samples from subjects diagnosed with , and displaying signs and/or symptoms of IBD and/or IBS will be evaluated in this study. Eligible subjects require a diagnostic colonoscopy with possible biopsy and clinical evaluation.
This study aims to assess the use of low dose CT reconstructed with MBIR for the assessment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease who need CT to assess for disease complications.
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.
: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) need long term treatments which can conflict with a desire of pregnancy in women. Uncontrolled IBD increases the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes [1]. Antitumor Necrosis Factor α (antiTNFα) are commonly used, off-label, in pregnancy but with the risk of treatment-related complications. Existing recommendations on the use of antiTNFα during pregnancy are conflicting and only rely on expert opinions. This study was aimed to assess appropriateness and risk to benefit ratio of antiTNFα treatment during pregnancy in women with IBD, for both the mother and the baby until the end of the first year.
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.
In this study the investigators will evaluate patients with IBD and and at least 2 confirmed c.difficile infections who will be undergoing FMT. The investigators will assess patients before FMT and then follow patients prospectively post FMT at week 1, 8 and 12 to assess for recurrence of c.difficile infection and IBD outcomes.
This clinical project aims to study the relationship between gluten consumption and its impact on digestive comfort, quality of life and performance of non-celiac athletes practicing an intensive physical activity..
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract that comprises two subtypes, Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Because the risk of IBD is greatest during the third decade of life, its impact for women is during the reproductive years. Women with inflammatory bowel disease are at a 2-fold higher risk of adverse outcomes during pregnancy as compared to the general population. Pregnancy is an especially vulnerable time for women with IBD, and out of misguided concerns that medications may confer unnecessary harms to their fetus, many women often stop taking life savings medications; without realizing that this sub-optimal adherence could actually lead to life threatening complications for them and their fetus. Counseling pregnant women with IBD is therefore an important step in improving medication adherence. The investigators hypothesize that counseling sessions with an IBD nurse that incorporates motivational interviewing and telemedicine-based follow-up sessions tailored to individual needs will improve medication adherence and pregnancy outcomes. The following specific aims are to be addressed by this multi-center randomized clinical trial comparing individual nurse-based counseling to standard of care: Specific Aim #1: To assess whether patient-centered counseling incorporating motivational interviewing and telemedicine-based follow-up by an IBD nurse leads to improved medication adherence during pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes Specific Aim #2: To validate the use of self-reported medication adherence during pregnancy in the IBD population
The purpose of this study is to establish the incidence of sub-optimal response to anti-TNF therapy in UC and CD participants.
