Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the tolerability and potential efficacy of dietary therapy, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This is a single center, open labelled study designed to determine tolerability, preliminary safety and potential efficacy in pediatric patients with CD and UC. The study patients will be recruited from Seattle Children's GI clinic. the investigators will enroll 10 patients with mild to moderate CD (defined as PCDAI score of 10-29) or Ulcerative colitis (PUCAI 10-60) ages 8 to 21 years. Each patient will be in the study for approximately 12 weeks.
This study will estimate the absolute bioavailability of subcutaneously injected GS-5745, characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GS-5745 after subcutaneous (SC) injection and intravenous (IV) administration, and evaluate the formation of anti-GS-5745 antibodies after SC and IV administration.
This study proposes to examine the effect of diet as a modifiable risk factor among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Flax seeds contain many bioactive constituents which have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic effects. These bioactive compounds represent novel classes of pharmacologically active compounds which may represent new options to treat chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Participants with mild to moderately severe UC will supplement their current medications with flaxseed lignan-enriched complex (FLC). This is a 12 week double blind placebo controlled study with assessment throughout. Stool and blood samples (biomarkers) as well as bowel assessment via sigmoidoscopy will be evaluated before and after the intervention. The treatment arm consists of 300 mg FLC taken orally twice daily.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum effective dose (MED) of Interleukin-2 in subjects with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
RATIONALE: A substantial proportion of children and teenagers with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) referred for endoscopy do not have the disease. The investigators designed a clinical decision rule that included a calprotectin stool test to discern which patients require further investigations. The accuracy of this diagnostic strategy is 88.5% with a low risk of missing IBD cases. Although the number of negative endoscopies was reduced after introduction of this strategy, still 22% of the referred children and teenagers underwent an unnecessary invasive test. S100A12 (calgranulin C) is a cytoplasmic protein secreted exclusively by activated neutrophils and this stool marker may be more IBD-specific than calprotectin. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the specificity of S100A12 is superior to the specificity of calprotectin without sacrificing sensitivity HYPOTHESIS: Inclusion of the calgranulin C stool test will improve the specificity of the screening-strategy.
Aim of this study is to determine wether the macromolecular spectral characteristic of ulcerative colitis patients - measured by Physiological Intermolecular Modification Spectroscopy (PIMS) - is a predictive factor for response to Simponi treatment
Aim of the registry is to evaluate all colon capsule endoscopies performed in Germany. This is to investigate safety, quality assurance and quality control of colon capsule endoscopy.
The aim of this study is to test Eicosapentaenoic free fatty acid's effects on calprotectin levels in IBD patients in clinical remission. During the study fecal calprotectin levels will be measured every 3 months and clinical flares will be registered.
This Phase III, double-blind, placebo and active-comparator controlled, multicenter study will investigate the efficacy and safety of etrolizumab in induction of remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naIve to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and refractory to or intolerant of prior immunosuppressant and/or corticosteroid treatment. In addition to this study, a second Phase III trial with identical study design (GA28948; NCT02163759) was independently conducted.
