Introduction Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) occurs in 15-25 % of all ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Initial treatment with intravenous corticosteroids fails in 30-50 % of patients, for whom the next line of treatment is biological therapy or colectomy. Acute colectomy has a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than a scheduled colectomy. Data suggest that an accelerated administration of biological treatment in corticosteroid non-responders compared to clinical practice, 5-7 days with intravenous corticosteroids, may be superior in inducing disease remission, thus potentially avoiding acute colectomy. However, there are currently no patient friendly and objective diagnostic tool to preselect patients for such a treatment. The aim of this study is to examine if gastrointestinal ultrasound (GIUS) could preselect corticosteroid non-responders to biological treatment after 48 hours to increase effectiveness of the second line therapy and thereby reduce the morbidity and mortality of ASUC. Methods and analysis The study is a clinician blinded observational multi-center study derived from the Department of Gastroenterology, Herlev Hospital, Denmark. Fifty ASUC patients will be included at the time of hospitalization and followed for 12 months. Baseline clinical activity scores, endoscopic scores, blood samples, fecal-calprotectin, vital parameters and GIUS measurements will be obtained prior to administration of intravenous corticosteroids. All examinations except fecal-calprotectin and endoscopy will be repeated at 48 ± 24 hours, 5-7 days and 3 months after treatment start. Endoscopic scores and fecal-calprotectin will be obtained after 3 months and an additional fecal-calprotectin after 6 ± 1 days. Treatment outcome will be registered at each event and after 12 months. Patients will be divided into corticosteroid responders and non-responders and compared to GIUS measurements at each event using non-parametric statistics (Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon test) and time to endpoints by survival statistics (Kaplan Meier). ROC statistics will determine the best cutoff values for GIUS parameters for optimal sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Ethics and dissemination The study is approved by the National committee on health research ethics (H-18031264). Results will be published in relevant scientific journals and presented at international conferences. Fully anonymized data will be accessible from authors upon request.
All study procedures will occur during one appointment. The research team will measure the size of the foot ulcer (if one is present) and multiple photos will be taken with a smart phone camera and thermal camera. Demographic information will be obtained from the medical record.
The goal of the study is to assess the impact of treatment with dietary supplement containing Saccharomyces boulardii (used as an addition to standard therapy), on quality of life of patients with mild forms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, as well as those in remission fulfilling criteria for irritable bowel syndrome. Patients included will be randomly assigned in two groups and subsequently administered with formulation containing Saccharomyces boulardii or placebo for 4 weeks. Patient's quality of life will be assessed by questionnaire at the enrolment and 4 weeks after initiating the therapy.
The investigators want to obtain the clinical profile, hematological profile, and biochemical profile from diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patient.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether intensive, personalized IFX dosing by using a pharmacokinetics driven dashboard system during the induction phase in patients with acute severe UC leads to increased treatment success (as defined by clinical and endoscopic response at week 6) as compared to the standard dosing.
This study will compare the efficacy of using standard compression therapy for treatment of chronic venous leg ulcers vs. the standard compression therapy with the additional use of the application of a human allograft (Theraskin)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of oral deucravacitinib in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).
Phase 1B randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-cohort clinical trial of ABI-M201 in adult subjects with mildly-to-moderately active Ulcerative Colitis(UC) and ongoing treatment with mesalamine.
A 3-Year Multi-Center, Long-Term Safety (LTS) Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of TD-1473 in Subjects with Ulcerative Colitis who have participated in the Maintenance Study of Protocol 0157
