Filter by:A)Background: Approximately 44% of patients with Inflammatory bowel disease have Ulcerative colitis(UC) which is a lifelong, chronic disease, starting in early adulthood, where the colon becomes inflamed and ulcerated due to a complex interaction between genetics, altered immune function, and environmental factors2such as dietary intake. While the etiology of UC is not clear, it is hypothesized the abnormal immune response and chronic inflammation may be caused by dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota and decreased epithelial barrier function. Substantial evidence suggests that higher than normal levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the colon plays a role in the etiology of UC. The higher levels of H2S and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) found in the feces of patients with UC is likely caused by the reduced conversion of H2S to thiosulfate by rhodanese (thiosulfate transferase enzyme)12, and increased colonization or activity of SRB. For example, SRB has been identified as the predominant bacterial group in patients with UC compared to the minority group in healthy individuals, and SRB growth is stimulated by the presence of sulfur-rich amino acids. Dietary intervention may help to repair the dysbiosis existing in the microbiome of the patient with UC, but research about food and recurrence of UC is conflicting. Dietary components such as sulfur and sulfates also appear to play a role in the recurrence of UC; although a recent review of the relationship between sulfur-containing foods and UC calls for more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining a reduced sulfur diet in UC. With the body of evidence described above, there is a compelling reason to consider that sulfur and sulfate-containing foods contribute to developing severe UC. Thus, understanding how dietary modulation of sulfur intake within the context of UC impacts disease status is the focus of this proposal.
A randomized, multi-center, double-blind, three arm placebo-controlled study in male and non-pregnant, non-lactating female subjects aged 18 years to examine the safety and efficacy of two dosing regimens of hydrocortisone acetate 90 mg suppository administered with the Sephure applicator for the treatment of ulcerative colitis of the rectum.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if study drug mirikizumab is safe and effective compared to vedolizumab and placebo in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
To evaluate the effectiveness of a discharge planning using the strategy of motivational interviewing among patients with diabetic foot ulcers
This study is designated to: 1. investigate the tolerance and safety of treatment of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic foot ulcer. 2. learn the primary effectiveness of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer. 3. study the pharmacokinetics of Human placental mesenchymal stem cells gel on Human diabetic food ulcer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of JNJ 66525433 compared with placebo after administration of: 1) single ascending oral doses of JNJ 66525433 administered to healthy participants (Part 1), 2) multiple, ascending oral doses of JNJ 66525433, administered to healthy participants once daily over 14 consecutive days (Part 2), and 3) multiple oral doses of JNJ 66525433, administered once daily over 14 consecutive and once daily over 42 consecutive days in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) (Part 3).
Treatment of patients with trophic ulcers using injection of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells around and inside the wound
In a search for accessible treatment options, plant medicines used by different communities in Papua New Guinea have been tested to identify the sap of the tree, Ficus septica, as a promising antibacterial agent in vitro. This is an open label clinical trial using an interventional approach, to compare the effect of the antiseptic plant sap and standard topical antiseptic, on the rate of wound development prevention and bacterial growth. If shown to be effective, this readily available plant medicine can provide a zero-cost treatment option in remote areas of PNG.
It is hypothesized that application at 4-week or greater intervals of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will, with concomitant management of infection, result in a higher rate of wounds showing complete healing within 25 weeks of initiating therapy, compared with standard care alone. This second confirmatory Phase 3 study examines a population of diabetic foot ulcer patients having adequate perfusion, with or without neuropathy, and a high suspicion of associated osteomyelitis in a complex, high grade wound.
The trial will investigate effects of daily intake of the bacterial strain Bif195 or placebo when co-administered to once-daily oral intake of 300 mg of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA). The trial includes a run-in period of two weeks duration followed by a 4-week intervention period in which Bif195/placebo and ASA are co-administered. This period is followed by a 6-week wash-out period before a new 4-week period is performed with a cross-over Bif195/placebo intervention as well as ASA co-administration. Bif195 and placebo interventions are performed double-blinded in randomised order in a cross-over fashion for each subject.
