Filter by:Transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has demonstrated diagnostic and therapeutic potential for a number of conditions and is an approved treatment for depression. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has a significant impact on mental health, and comorbid maladaptive behaviors and pain are highly prevalent in patients with IBD and are often under-treated. The investigators predict TMS will improve comorbid maladaptive behavior (heightened interoceptive awareness, sleep, fatigue, catastrophizing, anxiety and depression), reduce pain and improve quality of life in persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Further, TMS benefits will be associated with changes in gut microbiome as measured by stool, blood and urine samples and normalization of IBD-associated changes in brain structure and/or function as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of treatment (medical and/or surgical) on Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Complex Perianal Fistula (CPF), by the Quality of Life in patients with Anal Fistula Questionnaire (QoLAF-Q), at 12 months after treatment initiation in routine clinical practice.
This registry on Tofacitinib and biologics (anti-integrin/anti-TNF) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in Germany will extend the prospective documentation of safety issues and efficacy in induction and maintenance therapy of Tofacitinib (Xeljanz®) in addition to other biologics used in Germany with a particular interest in predictors of long-term responses and favorable disease outcome or to predict severe side effects caused by therapy with Januskinase(JAK)- inhibitors/biologics.
Researchers are trying to determine if withdrawal of budesonide therapy in patients with immune-mediated enteropathies doing well on therapy will result in worsening symptoms, histology, quality of life, and micronutrient/nutritional status when compared to continued therapy.
The investigators will compare two physician behaviors for managing pain in patients with IBD: proactive vs. reactive. Both the proactive and reactive behavior/strategies are standard of care at the institution in which the study will be performed. The PROACTIVE strategy is an IBD-specific analgesic orderset (built into our EMR and approved by the institution's Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee), the REACTIVE strategy is a traditional "reactive" analgesic prescribing (prescribing medications only when patients have pain). The PROACTIVE IBD-specific analgesic orderset consists of medications which have evidence for use in IBD-related pain. This orderset is an educational guide, it does not force any order. The reactive prescribing habits could contain an array of pain medications depending on what the provider wants to prescribe. Aims: Aim 1: To assess whether there is a difference in pain scores or functional activity among hospitalized patients with IBD between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors. Aim 2: To assess whether there is a difference in inpatient opioid-prescribing between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors. Aim 3: To assess whether there is a difference in health care utilization, including length-of-stay and 30-day readmission, between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors.
This pilot study will examine the benefit of this amino acid based hydration solution in patients with IBD who have undergone a total colectomy and have either ileostomies or jpouches. Findings from this study and possible future studies could have broad implications for patients with malabsorption resulting from many underlying conditions, including IBD.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are multifactorial diseases leading to chronic inflammation of intestinal mucosa. Their etiology is still unknown. Recently, major advances in the understanding of their pathophysiology have allowed to define them as heterogenic polygenic diseases, occurring in genetically susceptible patients. However, the whole genetic susceptibility does not explain the development of IBD and several data argue in favor of the involvement of environmental factors, which remain to be identified. The aims of this clinical trial are: 1. As main objective: To determine the effects of environmental pollutants on intestinal homeostasis and particularly on inflammatory process and endoplasmic reticulum stress. 2. As secondary objective, to assess in human the genetic susceptibility of intestinal mucosa to environmental chemical compounds (I.e. xenobiotics), its interindividual variability, and its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of IBD.
This study evaluates 2 therapeutic strategies (increase infliximab dose or add an immunosuppressant) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in loss of response to infliximab. Addition of an immunosuppressant may be more efficient at long term and is less expensive.
This study is the first administration of GSK2983559, a selective receptor interacting protein 2 (RIP2) kinase inhibitor, to humans. This will be randomized, double-blinded (sponsor open) and two part study (A and B). Part A of the study is single ascending dose crossover design with two separate cohorts (1 and 2). In Part A, 9 single dose levels will be explored. In Cohort 1, 10 healthy subjects will randomized to receive single oral doses of either GSK2983559 or placebo in a ratio of 4:1 in 5 way cross-over design with 5 treatment periods. In Cohort 2, 8 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive single oral doses of either GSK2983559 or placebo in a ratio of 3:1 in 4 way cross-overs design with 4 treatment periods. In Cohort 2 there will be an additional period (period 5-open label) for assessing GSK2983559 under fed conditions. There will be 48 hours wash-out period between each dose escalation period. Part B is repeat ascending dose sequential group design. It will contain 4 Cohorts of and dosing will be done sequential dosing. Subjects in Part B will receive once daily (QD) dose or twice daily dose (will be decided based upon the pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability observed in Part A). There will 58 subjects involved in this study. Total duration of Part A will be approximately for 11 Weeks and Part B will be approximately for 15 Weeks.
