Filter by:The study is an open-label study in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect of 14-weeks of daily dosing of LUM001.
TRANSREG will assess the safety and biological efficacy of low-dose IL2 as a Treg inducer in a set of 14 autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases, with the aim to select diseases in which further therapeutic development will be performed. Extensive biological- and immune-monitoring pre- and post-IL2 will contribute (i) to define the common or distinct processes responsible for the breakdown of immunological tolerance in these pathologies and (ii) to discover potential biomarkers of the IL2 response.
Evaluation of the efficacy of laser-based endomicroscopy as a complement to white-light colonoscopy and chromoendoscopy for early detection of colon dysplasia in patients with PSC-IBD. White-light colonoscopy is a routinely used procedure in colorectal cancer surveillance programs. However, it does not permit detection of early dysplastic lesions. Chromoendoscopy by applying a dye (indigo-carmine) through the colonoscope helps to identify flat lesions but is not suitable for accurate endoscopic diagnosis of dysplasia and intraepithelial neoplasia Under this aim we will perform a clinical study evaluating a newly developed technique allowing for in vivo confocal microscopy assessment of the colon mucosa using laser-based endomicroscopy together with intravenous administration of fluorescein (FITC).
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 evaluate whether simtuzumab (GS-6624) is effective at preventing the progression of liver fibrosis in adults with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
