Filter by:This is a 12-week, open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1b study of a herbal treatment given orally to subjects with ulcerative colitis. Subjects will be sequentially enrolled to one of two cohorts in up to two clinical sites. Treatment will be given for 8 weeks and study duration will be 12 weeks.
Phase I-II Clinical Trial - Safety and efficacy of umbilical-cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) in patients with active ulcerative colitis，randomized, single blind, controlled prospective study.
Consequences of latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection reactivation on ulcerative colitis flare, as a flare-worsening factor or simple bystander, are debated. Theoretically, CMV-specific cell-mediate immune response will further categorize the patients into high or low risk of CMV colitis. The investigators thus evaluate the usefulness of CMV-specific ELISPOT assay in patient with ulcerative colitis flare to assess the the impact of CMV colitis on ulcerative colitis flare.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether RPC1063 is effective in the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
The aim of our study is to investigate the efficacy and mechanism in fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. About 20 Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients will be recruited into our trial for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) treatment,the safety and efficacy of FMT will be observed.
The purpose of this open-label, dose-ranging, exploratory study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, compliance, mechanism of action and efficacy of QBECO site specific immunomodulation for the induction of clinical response and remission in subjects with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
PHASE: IV TYPE OF STUDY: With direct benefit DESCRIPTIVE: multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled trial INCLUSION CRITERIA: Adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who failed corticosteroids and immunosupressive therapy, or are intolerant to immunosuppressors. All included patients will be naïve to anti-TNF therapy. Active disease at golimumab treatment initiation defined as a MAYO score ≥6 and with an endoscopic sub score ≥2. OBJECTIVE: To determine the proportion of patients with Continuous Clinical Response (CCR) and endoscopic remission after one year of golumimab at week 54. STUDY DESIGN: Induction Phase : Week 0: golimumab 200mg- Week 2: golimumab 100 mg- Week 6: golimumab 50 mg Maintenance Phase I : Week 10-Week 54 Week 10-Week 54 • Patients with primary clinical response*: Standard regimen with golimumab 50 mg Q4W (or 100 mg Q4W if > 80 kg) - Patients without primary clinical response at week 10 or with flare between week 10-week 54*: Optimization to 100 mg Q4W (or combination therapy with azathioprine if > 80 kg or switch from azathioprine to methotrexate if already on azathioprine at golimumab initiation or patient with known intolerance to thiopurines) - Early escape at Week 18: Primary non-responders who are still not responding at week 18 to dose optimization at Weeks 10 and 14 will be considered treatment failures and will be followed up (call or visit) at week 54 for safety. - Clinical response is defined as a decrease from baseline in the Mayo score ≥30% and ≥3 points, accompanied by either a rectal bleeding sub score of 0 or 1 or a decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding sub score ≥1 Intermittent Phase II : Week 54-Week 108 • Patients with CCR and MH at week 54 and on golimumab 50 mg every 4 weeks: Stop golimumab and continuation of thiopurines or methotrexate if on combination therapy • Patients with CCR and MH at week 54 and on golimumab 100 mg every 4 weeks: De-escalation to 50 mg every 4 weeks and continuation of thiopurines or methotrexate if on combination therapy • Restart/Escalate golimumab on flare (defined in section 4 of the protocol) to the phase I dose; 50 mg q4wk or 100mg q4wk (similar to the phase I regimen)
PHASE : IV TYPE OF STUDY : With direct benefit. DESCRIPTIVE : Multicentre, randomized, open label study. INCLUSION CRITERIA : Acute severe ulcerative colitis. OBJECTIVES : To compare the efficacy and safety of early administration of the combination therapy with infliximab and azathioprine with steroids and azathioprine in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis treated with intravenous steroids. STUDY TREATMENTS : All patients : Intravenous steroids (0.8 mg/kg/day of methylprednisolone or equivalent) for 5 days. Combination therapy arm: Infliximab 5 mg/kg plus Azathioprine 2-2.5 mg/kg/day. Azathioprine arm: Steroids tapering for 3 months and Azathioprine 2-2.5 mg/kg/day.
Vedolizumab is a new medication being used for the treatment of Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. It works by blocking specific white blood cells (alpha 4-beta7 lymphocytes) from migrating to areas of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies have shown that patients who have previous exposure to another type of medication for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis (anti-TNF medications) do not respond to vedolizumab as well as those who have never been exposed. This study will investigate biologic markers in the blood and tissue the help identify possible reasons for this difference.
The daily requirement of threonine, an essential amino acid, will be evaluated in healthy adult males and in adult males with Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis using the indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) method. Participants will consume specially formulated diets with varying levels of threonine.
