Filter by:It is planned to enroll 80 UC patients who will require optimization of golimumab after secondary LOR. The review of the study protocol and its approval by an Independent Ethics Committee of the University of Saint Etienne are pending. All patients enrolled will give their written informed consent before being included. This study will be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki, in compliance with the approved protocol, good clinical practice and applicable regulatory requirements. Patients will visit the investigator from screening visit to visit 6 at W-1, W0, W2, W4, W8, and at the end of the follow-up at wk 24. During their participation, patients will record clinical parameters required to calculate the partial Mayo score reported over 3 days prior to the visit and endoscopy at W0, W2 (optional) , W4, W8 (optional) and at the end of the follow-up to calculate total Mayo score.
Establishing that mucosal healing (MH) has occurred after therapy is an important treatment goal, and the gold standard is endoscopic evaluation. In UC it is unclear if clinical parameters are adequate. The pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI) has demonstrated good correlations for clinical remission and disease severity, but its role for establishing mucosal healing after therapy has not been validated . The ability to predict mucosal healing may be different for patients in long term remission compared to assessment after obtaining clinical remission. No previous study has prospectively validated the use of PUCAI as a proxy for MH specifically during clinical remission after therapy.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy of cobitolimod treatment at different dose levels and frequencies compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe left-sided ulcerative colitis.
Flare-up of ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by the inflammation of colon mucosa that requires the use of immunosuppressive therapies. In previous studies, the active role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been demonstrated, with a correlation between the cytomegalovirus DNA ((deoxyribonucleic acid) load in the inflamed tissue and the resistance to successive lines of immunosuppressive therapy (Roblin et al., Am J Gastroenterol 2011). The main aim of this monocentric prospective study is to evaluate the DNA viral load by qPCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) of 3 herpesviruses (Epstein-Barr virus, herpes virus 6 and herpes simplex) together with that of CMV in colonic mucosa depending of the local inflammation (endoscopically normal region, inflamed mucosa or ulcer) in patients suffering of moderate to severe UC flare-up (Mayo score >6 with endoscopic score higher or equal than 2). The viral load will also be correlated to the Mayo endoscopic score and the response to immunosuppressive drugs (steroid and anti-TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) monoclonal antibodies).
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation, signal-finding, multi-center study. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and short-term efficacy of MDGN-002 in adults with moderate to severe, active Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis who have previously failed anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFα) treatment.
Oral Ulcers have serious effect on patients' lives. Due to absence of any information about its prevalence, risk factors and effect on patients' lives, this study has been held. The investigators recruited patients from the outpatient dental clinic of the faculty of oral and dental medicine, Cairo University, screened them clinically for oral ulcers. All patients filled questionnaires about the risk factors of oral ulcers. Furthermore, oral ulcer patients filled questionnaires about their Quality of life, previous treatments used, previous physicians visited and their Quality of life after using previous treatments.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of a formulation of snail slime and natural extracts, for the curative treatment of ulcer wonds in diabetic foot. The secondary objetives: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of the use of a formulation of snail slime Helix aspersa Müller and natural extracts (MU001) for the curative treatment of ulcer wonds in diabetic foot with respect to the standard of care, by means the application of patchs that containing the formulation in a treatment period of until 60 days. 2. To determine the safety of the use of a formulation of snail slime Helix aspersa Müller and natural extracts (MU001) in diabetic individuals in a treatment period of until 60 days.
Determining the efficacy of low dose of PPI in management acute peptic ulcer bleeding
Non-variceal acute gastrointestinal bleeding is a common and potentially life-threatening problem. The conventional treatment of this condition is for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) for haemostasis. Treatment methods include heater probe, clipping and injection of adrenaline. Recently, a new device called the Over-the-scope clip (OTSC) has been device to treat perforations and bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the aim of the study is to compare between the treatment outcomes between OTSC and conventional endoscopic haemostatic methods in ulcers that are of high risk for rebleeding.
The safety and efficacy of beta glucan products, and specifically TR 987, in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency ulcers has been established. This study is designed to determine the most efficient method of treatment.
