Filter by:We wish to develop a protocol for PET/CT examination of humans using the bile acid tracer 11C-cholylsarcosine. This is done by a series of PET/CT examinations of healthy humans and patients with cholestatic disorders.
This study aims to determine the performance of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal neoplasia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients with an IBD diagnosis for at least eight years or diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and who are eligible for CRC screening are eligible to participate in this study. Enrolled subjects will collect a stool sample for the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test. Subjects must have undergone colonoscopy no more than 90 days prior to enrollment and will undergo colonoscopy or surgical intervention within 120 days of enrollment. Tissue diagnosis of CRC will be established by histopathologic examination.
Determine the benefit of oral vancomycin therapy for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) occurs in approximately 10 % of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but the outcome of reconstructive surgery is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional outcome after surgery, frequency of pouchitis, complications and failure-rate in UC-PSC patients compared to patients with UC alone. Both ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA) were studied.
Evaluation of the efficacy of different doses of nor UDCA vs. placebo for the treatment of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Identification of optimal dose(s)for the treatment of PSC.
In the current protocol, we propose the assessment of potential beneficial effects of the antibiotic Xifaxan on liver biochemistries, liver related symptoms and Mayo risk score in 15 adult and 5 pediatric patients with PSC. Adult patients will receive Xifaxan, 550 mg twice daily over a 12-week period. Pediatric patients with PSC whose weight is greater than or equal to 40 kg will receive Xifaxan, 550 mg twice daily.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of mitomycin C in the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether simtuzumab (GS-6624) is effective at preventing the progression of liver fibrosis in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
This study aim to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of Spyglass in sclerosing cholangitis patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP). Fifty patients with a definite diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis and a clinical indication for ERCP from September 2008 and onwards will be investigated with peroral cholangioscopy using Spyglass direct visualization system. Clinical data on all patients will be collected at time of the ERCP including information on the Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), serum liver function tests and indication for ERCP. A structured data collection form including information on Majoie Score, macroscopic features of the bile ducts at cholangioscopy, quality of the investigation, technical difficulties, and an overall judgment of whether any abnormalities observed were benign or malignant was completed by the endoscopist in conjunction with the procedure.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare chronic cholestatic liver disease, typically affecting middle aged men and is frequently associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Establishing diagnosis in early stages of cholestatic hepatopathy is still a clinical challenge and based on invasive diagnostic procedures: endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or percutaneous liver biopsy are needed when magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography remains inconclusive. As these procedures are associated with significant risks for the patient, the goal of this study is to evaluate, if endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) of the biliary tract is a useful diagnostic tool in suspected PSC.
