Filter by:The objective of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of a potential generic 750 mg balsalazide disodium capsule formulation compared with Salix Pharmaceutical's 750 mg balsalazide disodium capsule, Colazal, following a single 750 mg dose, administered under fasting conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and clinical status of pediatric patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Particular attention will be directed to recording safety outcomes reported in association with infliximab and other prescribed IBD therapies. In addition, information on disease status and quality of life will be collected.
To evaluate the ability of the PillCam® Colon Capsule Endoscope to detect and classify Ulcerative colitis
The metabolic response to ulcerative colitis, including increased proteolysis and lipolysis and changes in energy expenditure, plays a significant role in the resulting malnutrition from which these patients suffer. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been found to be elevated in children with ulcerative colitis. TNF-alpha has been incriminated in the mechanism of weight loss in many different chronic diseases, and causes net protein and lipid catabolism. Anti-TNF-alpha antibody (infliximab) has been proven to be an effective therapy for ulcerative colitis. The purpose of this study is to determine changes in protein and lipid metabolism, as well as resting energy expenditure, before and after therapy with anti-TNF-alpha antibody (infliximab) in children with ulcerative colitis. Performing this study will better define the changes in nutrition status observed in these children following remission of active ulcerative colitis, and potentially lead to changes in medical and nutritional management of these children
The goal in these studies will be to assess the relative levels of the Stat4 alpha and Stat4 beta isoforms in PBMCs from patients with Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease or from control patients. We hypothesize that the beta to alpha ratio will be higher in patients with active disease and that there will be a correlation between the ratio and the severity of disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a disease of the gastrointestinal tract leading to symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and growth disturbance. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory process that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, whereas ulcerative colitis is typically present only in the colon. Children with inflammatory bowel disease frequently suffer from disturbances in growth, which may continue into adulthood and result in altered growth outcomes. The metabolic response to inflammatory bowel disease, including increased protein breakdown and decreased protein synthesis may play a significant role in the resulting malnutrition and growth failure from which children with inflammatory bowel disease suffer. The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of protein synthesis within the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract in children Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to children who have normal endoscopic examinations. By comparing children with inflammatory bowel disease to normal children, we can begin to determine how alterations in protein metabolism within the lining of the gastrointestinal tract affect whole body protein metabolism, and its consequent effects on growth. In those patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, a follow-up study will be conducted two weeks following the initiation of steroid therapy to determine its effects on protein metabolism. We hypothesize that children with active inflammatory bowel disease will have increased rates of protein synthesis in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract than patients who have normal endoscopy, and that increases in protein breakdown and protein synthesis will be improved following steroid therapy in children with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease.
This study is being conducted in patients who have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC), a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - a disease of the intestine. The purpose of this study is to test the therapeutic (medical treatment) effects of daily consumption of Kyo-Dophilus (a commercially available dietary supplement often used by individuals with inflammatory bowel disease) on their UC. Kyo-Dophilus consists of three probiotic bacteria (beneficial bacteria to help maintain the balance of good bacteria in the intestine) to help treat inflammatory bowel disease caused by bad bacteria. Patients will still be maintained on their clinical standard of care for their UC as part of their participation in this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Asacol 4.8 g/day (800 mg tablet) versus Asacol 2.4 g/day (400 mg tablet
To assess the long-term safety and maintenance of response of adalimumab in subjects with ulcerative colitis who participated in and successfully completed M06-826 (NCT00385736) or M06-827 (NCT00408629).
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AEB071 in the treatment of active, moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in patients who have failed conventional therapy using mesalamine or steroids
