Filter by:Disease activity and response to therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC) can be assessed by a range of endpoints including symptoms, endoscopic mucosal activity, histological disease activity, and biomarkers. This study aims to determine the optimal treatment target, which is a research priority for the management of UC both to inform clinical practice and to help inform regulatory endpoints and targets for drug development. Participants with active UC will be randomized in a 5:4:1 (initially 2:3:5) ratio to 1 of 3 groups, each with a different treatment target. Treatment targets will be defined as: - Group 1: corticosteroid-free symptomatic remission - Group 2: corticosteroid-free endoscopic + symptomatic remission - Group 3: corticosteroid-free histological + endoscopic + symptomatic remission An interim analysis was performed to assess the proportion of subjects that reached their assigned treatment target after 50 subjects in each group had reached the first 32-week assessment. The interim analysis and projections made based on target achievement rates for all subjects included in the interim analysis resulted in a recommendation to adjust the randomization ratio from 2:3:5 to 5:4:1 for Groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively as of May 5th, 2023. This change was necessary in order to complete the study with approximately 100 subjects achieving treatment target within each group.
This is a 4-week pilot, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial of hydroxocobalamin and butyrate in ulcerative colitis (UC) that will occur in two phases. The main objectives of this study are to determine the capacity of hydroxocobalamin and butyrate to reduce calprotectin in those with inflammatory disease in UC to determine the safety and preferential dose of hydroxocobalamin with butyrate in UC.
This is a prospective, multi-national, multi-centre, randomized, non-blinded (photo evaluation is blinded), controlled clinical investigation in patients suffering from diabetic wounds reaching to tendon, bone, or joint. Patients will be randomised to received intact fish skin (Kerecis™ Omega3 Wound) plus standard of care or standard of care alone, and wound healing compared over 16 weeks.
The risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased in patients having ulcerative colitis (UC). Patients with long-standing extensive colitis, concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis, or previous history of dysplasia carry an exceptionally high risk of CRC and require regular and short-interval surveillance colonoscopy. Recent guidelines recommend surveillance colonoscopy based on target biopsy rather than random biopsy applying chromoendoscopy (CE) or narrow band image (NBI) technique in UC at risk for CRC. However, the diagnostic yield of NBI-based surveillance and CE-based surveillance is not extensively investigated in the high-risk UC population. The investigators aimed to compare the dysplasia detection rate of NBI with that of CE in UC patients with a high risk of CRC by performing a multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine).Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. CD may cause tiredness, loose stools with or without bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study will evaluate the effect of repeated infusions of risankizumab on the pharmacokinetics of sensitive probe substrates of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD. Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed to treat trial participants with inflammatory diseases such as UC and CD. The study is split into two periods. In Period 1, participants will receive single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes and in Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab followed by single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes. Around 20 adult participants with moderately to severely active CD or UC will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites worldwide. In Period 1, participants will receive oral doses of CYP sensitive probes on Day 1. In Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 29 and 57 followed by oral CYP sensitive probes on Day 64. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects.
A prototype support surface has been designed which aims to successfully redistributes the pressures exerted and provides sufficient support to human soft tissue We want to prove the effectiveness of the prototype support surface by enlisting patients in a clinical trial, where we will assess the presence of pressure ulcers, and the ability of the patients to tolerate the support surface, and also measure the pressure over time and compare them to when the patients are using standard mattresses.
This Study aims to identify whether venous leg ulcers which are colonised by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa cause more pain than those which are not and if this bacteria affects healing time. This may determine how venous ulcer infections are treated in order to improve symtomatology and quality of life for patients with these chronic wounds.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Global estimates indicate that 382 million people live with diabetes (8.3%), and that number could reach 592 million in 2035. The diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) present as sore wounds with disintegration of the skin. The DFU affect 15% of diabetic patients. Several studies have been conducted aiming to find therapeutic strategies for the healing of DFU, among the reported therapeutic methods the Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been highlighted. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different doses of LLLT in the treatment of DFU. Methods: This study is characterized as a double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT), consisting of four groups, the control group will have only dressing and placebo LLLT application and the other three groups will have dressing and real LLLT GaAs 904 nm application. Expected outcomes: to elucidate the effects of different doses of LLLT GaAs 904 nm on the treatment of DFU, beyond to identify the most effective dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Vaporous Hyperoxia Therapy (VHT), previously named Misty (WTS-1000) for the treatment of chronic foot ulcers.
This study evaluates the safety of the probiotic compound IDOFORM TRAVEL® in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment with insufficient clinical response. Furthermore, the study aims to explore the composition of the bacteria of the gut as well as the immunological activity in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment, aiming to identify differences between groups of patients responding and not responding adequately to treatment. The project will explore whether probiotics have beneficial effects as adjuvant therapy in ulcerative colitis patients with insufficient response to anti-TNF treatment.
