Filter by:The objective of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to evaluate the effectiveness of adalimumab plus the AbbVie Care 2.0 patient support program in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in the routine clinical setting in Hungary.
This is a randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of repeat dosing of intravenous (IV) UTTR1147A. The study will consist of a repeat dose escalation in HVs, in participants with UC, and in participants with CD across multiple sites.
Background: Growth impairment is commonly seen in children diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), mainly those with Crohn's disease (CD). There is general consensus in the literature that body composition, composed of fat mass and lean mass is altered in children with IBD compared with controls. Evidence regarding the effect of different therapeutic approaches on body composition in children with IBD is scarce and inconsistent. Furthermore, most studies used anthropometric measures and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for body composition assessment, while information on the usefulness of air displacement plethysmography (ADP) for this assessment is lacking. Objectives: To assess body composition in children with IBD by ADP and DEXA at diagnosis and at various intervals during follow up. Design: A prospective cohort study. Setting: Pediatric gastroenterology institute, Schneider Children's Hospital. Participants: Children 6 year to 17 years who are diagnosed with either CD or ulcerative colitis (UC). Main outcome measures: Accuracy of ADP in comparison to DEXA and percentage of fat mass and lean mass at diagnosis and during treatment. Secondary outcome measures: Correlation of body composition to skin fold, mid arm circumference measurements, BMI, inflammatory markers, gender, disease activity and physical activity.
The aim of Patient-Centred Innovations for Persons With Multimorbidity (PACE in MM) study is to reorient the health care system from a single disease focus to a multimorbidity focus; centre on not only disease but also the patient in context; and realign the health care system from separate silos to coordinated collaborations in care. PACE in MM will propose multifaceted innovations in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management (CDPM) that will be grounded in current realities (i.e. Chronic Care Models including Self-Management Programs), that are linked to Primary Care (PC) reform efforts. The study will build on this firm foundation, will design and test promising innovations and will achieve transformation by creating structures to sustain relationships among researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and patients. The Team will conduct inter-jurisdictional comparisons and is mainly a Quebec (QC) - Ontario (ON) collaboration with participation from 4 other provinces: British Columbia (BC); Manitoba (MB); Nova Scotia (NS); and New Brunswick (NB). The Team's objectives are: 1) to identify factors responsible for success or failure of current CDPM programs linked to the PC reform, by conducting a realist synthesis of their quantitative and qualitative evaluations; 2) to transform consenting CDPM programs identified in Objective 1, by aligning them to promising interventions on patient-centred care for multimorbidity patients, and to test these new innovations' in at least two jurisdictions and compare among jurisdictions; and 3) to foster the scaling-up of innovations informed by Objective 1 and tested/proven in Objective 2, and to conduct research on different approaches to scaling-up. This registration for Clinical Trials only pertains to Objective 2 of the study.
The purpose of the study is to investigate phospholipid ligands and their receptors in inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer. Several new species of lipids have been recently discovered which are able to transmit information to cancer cells in the large intestine. The lipids and their responsive receptors build an axis that is thought to influence the development of inflammation and cancer.
Changing the microbiota has become the most intriguing target for intervention in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dietary therapy is successful in mild to moderate Crohn's disease and may be effective in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) as well, though dietary interventions in UC are just getting underway. However these interventions are less likely to be effective for the more severely inflamed or refractory end of the spectrum. Fecal transplantation (FT) has been suggested as a method to treat refractory IBD, but most studies have been unsuccessful in establishing remission and especially sustained remission. The investigators hypothesize that this is due to selection of random donors and the inability to maintain an optimal microbiota eco system post transplant. Diet is a powerful tool to modulate the microbiota. The investigators propose that use of a donor and recipient diet designed for UC during fecal transplantation will be superior to diet alone of fecal transplantation alone and will improve patient outcomes.The investigators propose to modify FT using a novel protocol and approach that we have developed. We have developed a unique diet that is geared to rectify dysbiosis in UC and damage to the mucous layer in active UC. The investigators intend to condition both donor and recipient with the diet to achieve optimal conditions for transplant to succeed for both donor and recipient .The investigators intend to evaluate this protocol in adults with active UC that are refractory to medications. The investigators will start with a randomized controlled trial involving 76 transplanted patients+ 20 subjects for dietary controls with the UC diet alone.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). UC is an ongoing disease of the colon or large intestine. Studies have shown that leakiness of the gut plays a major role in the development of UC. Leakiness of the gut is a condition that is a result of damage to the intestinal lining, making it less able to protect its internal environment as well as to filter needed nutrients and other substances. Some bacteria, toxins, and waste not normally absorbed may get into the blood stream. Golimumab is an FDA approved medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The investigators have evidence to suggest that measuring the leakiness of the gut using a tool called a confocal laser endomicroscope may be able to predict how well a patient's body will respond to treatment of UC with golimumab. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an FDA approved technique that can look at the cells of a patient's gut during colonoscopy to assess the leakiness of gut. The objective of this study is to determine how the leakiness of the gut in patients with UC can predict response to golimumab therapy.
Patients with ulcerative colitis often suffer significant limitations to their quality of life, which are also conditioned by particular stress and psychosocial accompanying symptoms of the disease. A multimodal program for stress-reduction and lifestyle-modification has been shown to be effective in promoting the quality of life. The study will examine the promotion of the quality of life of patients with ulcerative colitis and the positive Influence on stress, psychological symptoms and physiological parameters. 92 patients with ulcerative colitis will be randomized in an Intervention group and a control group for 10 weeks. The primary outcome is the disease-specific quality of life, the secondary outcomes are stress, psychological symptoms, inflammatory parameters, disease activity parameters, bowel parameter and the microbiome.
The cause of Inflammatory Bowl Disease (IBD) is not known, but studies from patients with IBD have found that these patients make unusually strong immune responses to their own intestinal tissues and to bacteria that normally live in the healthy gut. These overactive immune responses might result from an imbalance of T-lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell that recognize and respond to threats like infection or damaged tissues. In healthy tissues, a type of T-lymphocytes called T-regulatory cells control excess inflammation by preventing other T cells, called T-effector cells from responding. We believe that T-regulatory cells are somehow less active in IBD, resulting in damage to intestinal tissues by the T-effector cells. T-lymphocytes, including both T-regulatory and T-effector cells, are guided to different parts of the body by 'alpha4beta7-integrin' molecules. Vedolizumab or Entyvio works by blocking this homing molecule so that T cells do not reach the intestine, but stay in the blood where they cannot aggravate your IBD. This study will help in understanding how Vedolizumab helps to heal or decrease the symptoms of your Ulcerative Colitis. The effect of Vedolizumab on different types of T cells in the human intestine has not yet been studied. However, the investigators think that Vedolizumab will shift the balance of T cells in the intestine towards more healing T-regulatory cells and less damaging T-effector cells. The purpose of this study is to measure the different types of T cells in participants' blood and intestinal tissue before and during Vedolizumab treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test blood and tissue samples of people with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) to see what effects vitamin D may have on the immune system. This research is being done because it could lead to the development of new treatment for people with inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
