Filter by:In the last decades fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been established as a highly effective option in the treatment of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI), with a success rate of nearly 90%. For this reason, it is recommended by international guidelines as a treatment option for this indication in clinical practice. Recently, a considerable body of evidences, suggest FMT as an effective and safe treatment in patients affected by Ulcerative Colitis (UC). In a recent meta-analysis of 324 subjects with UC, 30.4% of patients achieved both clinical and endoscopic remission after FMT compared to placebo (9.8%, P<0.00001). However, among the various published trials there is a fair variability in terms of methods and results, which are not comparable to those obtained in the rCDI. Nowadays, one of the most critical factors involved in the effectiveness of FMT in UC patients, is the choice of the donor. In addition, several studies have shown that some donors are associated with a higher clinical response rate than others. This hypothesis has been demonstrated in patients affected by irritable bowel syndrome, in which the use of a super-donor (a healthy person who has the predictive clinical and lifestyle characteristics of a healthy microbiota, and with a microbial profile associated with favorable clinical conditions) resulted in significantly higher clinical efficacy rates than placebo, similar to those obtained in rCDI (89%). Currently, studies that explored the efficacy of the super-donor FMT in UC patients are not yet available. Aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of super - donor FMT, compared with placebo FMT, in the treatment of UC. The investigators will randomize adult patients with a recent diagnosis of UC to FMT from super - donors or placebo, by colonoscopy (first infusion) and capsules administration. Then, patients will be followed up 2 months after FMT.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study.
Efficacy of ulcerative colitis to induce remission in patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis.
The purpose of the trial is to proof whether TID 1000 mg mesalazine is non-inferior to TID 2x 500 mg mesalazine in the treatment of patients with acute ulcerative colitis
To demonstrate that import Mesalazine (Asacol®) is non-inferior to the reference drug, marketed Mesalazine, regarding the primary endpoint (reduction of UC-DAI score)in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC) treated for 8 weeks.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity of interferon beta-1a in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Secondary objectives of this study are to determine (i) the safety and tolerability of interferon beta-1a in participants with moderate to severe UC, and (ii) the percentage of participants, with a decrease in the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) score of ≥3 points at Week 8.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the new modified oral extended-release Pentasa® 500mg tablet is at least as efficacious as the currently marketed Pentasa® 500mg tablet in active mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis and also in maintenance of quiescent disease.
