Filter by:This study wants to investigate the efficiency of biological treatment for chronic pouchitis. Chronic pouchitis is inflammation in a reconstruction after removal of the colon, a pouch. It is examined in patients with ulcerative colitis. The primary objective evaluation is to evaluate the clinically effect of biological therapy (adalimumab) in patients with chronic pouchitis. Secondary objective is to evaluate the effect of biological therapy on the endoscopical and histological inflammatory activity. It is a double-blinded randomized placebo controlled study.
Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of SAR339658 Secondary Objective: To assess the safety of SAR339658
The objectives of this study are to investigate how oral 5-ASA drugs have been used in the condition without symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea/bloody stool (remission stage), or in the transition from the condition with symptoms such as abdominal pain or diarrhea/bloody stool (active stage) to the remission stage in ulcerative colitis and to study how many patients will be able to maintain the remission stage during the observation period and how many times the patients will experience the active stage (relapse), as well as how symptoms will change during the observation period to discover better treatment plans.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of the colon. Complaints such as abdominal pain, cramps and bloody diarrhoea usually start in early adulthood and lead to life-long substantial morbidity. There is no medical treatment available that meets the desired criteria of high efficacy versus low adverse effects. The current prevailing hypothesis regarding the cause of UC states that the pathogenesis involves an inappropriate and ongoing activation of the mucosal immune system driven by the intestinal microbiota in a genetically predisposed individual. Systematic investigation into the effect of correcting the dysbiosis in ulcerative colitis patients has never been performed. The most radical way to restore the presumably disturbed natural homeostasis in UC is to perform faecal transplantation from a healthy donor. In this trial the potential beneficial effects of restoring microbial homeostasis by faecal transplantation through a duodenal tube will be studied in a phase II randomised placebo controlled design. Endpoints are clinical remission and reduction of endoscopic inflammation after 12 weeks (primary), as well as time to recurrence, intra individual changes in faecal samples and mucosal biopsies. Follow up is 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether RPC1063 is effective in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to test blood and tissue samples of people with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) to see what effects Vitamin D3 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).
To determine the dose or doses of PF-00547659 that will be the most effective to improve or halt the disease symptoms in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel, placebo controlled study. Approximately 120 eligible patients with mild-to-moderate active ulcerative colitis will be randomized to double blind treatment of either 1,000 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) ASP3291 (2,000 mg/d) or matching placebo in a 1:1 ratio for 8 weeks. The study hypothesis is that treatment with ASP3291 compared to placebo will improve a patient's ulcerative colitis endoscopic score from baseline to Week 8.
This double-blind, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase II study is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of Zoenasa Rectal Gel compared to mesalamine enema in subjects with left-sided ulcerative colitis, as measured by the modified ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UCDAI), over 6 weeks of treatment. In this study, two cohorts of subjects will receive either Zoenasa-1:4 (1.0g NAC; 4.0g 5-ASA) investigational drug enema therapy or comparator mesalamine enema (4.0g 5-ASA). The study will enroll subjects randomized equally into the 2 cohorts. Each cohort will enroll approximately 60 subjects. The two arms of the trial will be enrolled concurrently in a randomized fashion.
The aim of the trial is to test safety, tolerability and efficacy of Propionyl-L-carnitine modified release tablets 1g/die in reducing the symptoms of the disease with respect to the proportion of patients with disease remission at the end of the 8 weeks of treatment. It will also aim to investigate capability of the treatment in the maintenance of remission after four weeks of treatment interruption; histological changes will be also evaluated and finally, improvement in the overall quality of life as measured by the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) will be investigated.
