Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 subcutaneous (sc) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) in adult participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Secondary objectives of the study are to: - evaluate the efficacy of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD - evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD - evaluate the immunogenicity of 2 different maintenance dose regimens of TEV-48574 sc administered Q4W in adult participants with IBD The total duration for a participant in the double-blind period only is 66 weeks; and for a participant in the open-label extension (OLE) period, up to an additional 268 weeks.
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-3750) in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-3750) and provide patient-reported and physician scored measures of their colitis. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-3750) on fecal levels will also be measured.
Investigators propose to validate efficacy and safety of the detection of DEFA5 in the diagnosis of the colonic IBD using longitudinal vs. cross-sectional studies of known patient clinical data to correlate with their endoscopy biopsy data. 30% of colonic IBD patients cannot be accurately diagnosed (CC vs. UC) in a timely manner even when a state-of-the-art classification system of combined clinical, endoscopic, radiologic and histologic tools are used. When the diagnostic classification for these two diseases is inconclusive, the condition is termed indeterminate colitis (IC). Here, the central medical challenge is the discrimination of IBD into the specific subtypes with high accuracy, as it greatly effects surgical care of patients. Diagnostic accuracy of IC into either authentic UC or CC is of utmost importance when determining a patient's candidacy for RPC-IPAA surgery, the standard curative surgical procedure for UC. Further, incorrect diagnosis and treatment carry potential morbidity from inappropriate and unnecessary surgery and costs. The success outcomes of RPC-IPAA surgery and convalescence depend on correct diagnosis. To address IBD diagnosis ambiguity and delays in IBD clinical settings, investigators developed a proteomic signature to discriminate between UC and CC patients that also will predict the outcome of IC patients for their eventual progress to either UC or CC. Our published data has shown robust evidence supporting presence of human alpha-defensin 5 (DEFA5) in areas of the colon mucosa with aberrant expression of apparent Paneth cell-like cells (PCLCs) or crypt cell-like cells (CCLCs), which identifies an area of colonic ileal metaplasia, consistent with the diagnosis of CC. DEFA5 bioassay discriminated CC and UC in a cohort of all IC patients with accuracy. A fit logistic model with group CC and UC as the outcome and the DEFA5 as independent variable differentiator with a positive predictive value of 96%. These findings were obtained solely from colectomy specimens for both the discovery and validation analyses. Investigators believe that use of endoscopy biopsies would be indifferent, which is the purpose of this prospective patient centered clinical study. Investigators propose to demonstrate that UC and CC, the two unsolved medical subtypes of pathology with no drugs for a cure, can accurately be distinguished molecularly by examining CCLCs-secreted DEFA5 in colonic endoscopy biopsies instantly. Our proposal is highly innovative, as it highlights the robustness of DEFA5 and its clinical relevance to IBD is both in science and the anticipated impact, as investigators seek to better understand difficulty to determine 'subtypes" and translate that to improve diagnosis, treatment, clinical outcomes, and quality of life for patients and the realm of clinical care. DEFA5 immunoreactivity in colonic endoscopy biopsies could be a rapid potential diagnostic signature to resolve IC into authentic UC and CC with a first clinic endoscopy biopsy. IC is likely to be eliminated for good.
Prospective, single-center, sham-controlled, double-blinded 12-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RAVANS device in subjects with Ulcerative Colitis. The goal of the study is to distinguish sham (no stimulation) versus treatment (stimulation) response and to identify treatment responders. The study will last 12 weeks with in-clinic visits at 0 weeks and 12 weeks, and a telehealth-visit at week 6. Additionally, unscheduled visits may occur based on the needs of the subject or at the discretion of the investigator. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to treatment or sham, and will stimulate at home twice per day.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, consisting of a single ascending dose (SAD) part with integrated food effect (FE) arm, and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) part to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of ascending single and multiple oral doses of LMT503. The study will start with the SAD part.
The present study aimed to compare the in vivo prebiotic properties of bread produced by traditional breadmaking techniques with that made using a modern breadmaking method on Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like symptoms in patients with quiescent Ulcerative Colitis. The expected outcome of the differential effects was a change in the faecal microbiome composition, which may indicate changes in the mucosa-associated microbiota.
Objective disease assessment in inflammatory bowel diseases at the time of treatment initiation and during follow-up has become gold standard. However, biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin, fail to provide information on disease extent, location or complications. Repeated endoscopic assessments are performed to evaluate mucosal response to treatment, though associated costs, availability, invasiveness and patient preference are considerable limitations. Recently, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) has gained significant momentum as a non-invasive, easily accessible and low-cost alternative for objective assessment. Accordingly, the ECCO-ESGAR guideline recognizes IUS as a potential tool for the diagnosis and for the monitoring of IBD. Our study aim is to evaluate the change in intestinal ultrasound parameters (as measured by B-mode and SWE at baseline and week 4) to predict endoscopic response and remission as defined by the follow-up endoscopy and measured by the Mayo endoscopic subscore and the UCEIS during treatment with filgotinib
A study of clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors in inflammatory bowel disease
This research group plans to take patients with mild to moderate UC and diarrhea IBS diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College as examples, and divide them into UC group and IBS group; Each group was randomly divided into two groups, namely, conventional treatment+probiotics group and conventional treatment+probiotics placebo group.Starting from the intervention of probiotics on intestinal flora to alleviate intestinal injury caused by UC and IBS patients, the indicators of intestinal flora, serum inflammatory factors, metabolites in vivo, intestinal barrier-related protein expression, and fecal short-chain fatty acid level were detected to explore the clinical efficacy, intestinal protective effect and mechanism of probiotics in adjuvant treatment of UC and IBS patients.To provide new methods and new ideas for refractory UC and IBS, so as to improve the cure rate of UC and IBS, reduce the recurrence rate, relieve the physical and mental pain and economic burden of patients, and provide new ideas for the development and utilization of functional probiotics. It also seeks biosafety evidence for the future use of probiotics in antibiotic environment.
Background: Bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the intestines (the gut microbiome) play an important role in a person s health. The gut microbiome helps to regulate the immune system and control inflammation. Imbalances in the gut microbiome have been linked to illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). People diagnosed with IBD can have serious health problems. Researchers want to know more about how the gut microbiome affects the development and progression of IBD in children. In this natural history study, they will compare the gut microbiomes of healthy children with those who have IBD. Objective: To collect stool and samples of intestine tissue from children with and without IBD undergoing colonoscopy. Eligibility: People under 21 years old who are having a colonoscopy at the Inova Health System or Pediatric Specialists of Virginia. Design: Participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about their history. Topics may include how they were fed as infants; how they were born; and how often they took antibiotics. Stool and tissue samples from the intestines will be taken during the participants colonoscopy. They may also give samples of blood and urine. Participants may be asked to provide additional stool, blood, and urine samples. They may do this up to 3 times per year. These samples may be collected at the clinic; they may also be collected at home and mailed to the researchers. If they have more colonoscopies, participants may be asked for more tissue samples. Participants will be enrolled for up to 10 years. ...
