Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate vedolizumab pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD.
The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the exposure-response relationship of golimumab in moderate-to-severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Patients commencing induction therapy with golimumab will be enrolled into a prospective study and evaluated at three time-points (weeks 6, 10 and 14) for clinical and biochemical UC disease activity as well as serum golimumab concentrations and the presence of anti-golimumab antibodies. Patients already established on stable golimumab maintenance therapy will be enrolled into a cross-sectional study with the same evaluations taken at a single time point.
The objectives of this trial are safety and efficacy (proof-of-concept) of induction of mucosal healing by BI 655130 add-on therapy in patients with mild or moderate ulcerative colitis and persisting endoscopic activity despite pre-existing TNFi treatment. This trial will explore safety and efficacy of a dose of BI 655130 that was modelled to achieve the similar exposures as the highest exposures tested and found safe and tolerable in preceding single and multiple dose studies in healthy subjects, as add-on to pre-existing TNFi (Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor) treatment. Secondary and further objectives include assessment of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BI 655130 and early exploration of specific biomarkers with potential usefulness to predict clinical efficacy or safety outcome or help understand BI 655130's mode of action.
The etiopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is not fully understood. One of the theories of UC pathogenesis represents a pathological response of mucosal immunity to intestinal microbiota. Potential therapeutic procedure how to affect this fact is the faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Review of the literature on FMT suggests great potential as the treatment for UC, but two prospective controlled study that has been published yet are inconsistent. The first objective of the project is to compare the administration of FMT enema with mesalazine enema for inducing remission in patients with active left-sided UC in the form of a prospective, randomized, controlled study. The second objective is to observe changes in the intestinal microbiota during and after FMT focusing on bacterial DNA sequencing to identify the bacterial species which are responsible for the effect of the FMT.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single-dose TD-3504 and single dose 15N2-tofacitinib in healthy subjects and subjects with UC. The relative bioavailability of tofacitinib released from TD-3504 compared to co-administered oral heavy-labeled tofacitinib (15N2-tofacitinib) will also be evaluated.
The primary objective of this trial is to understand the mechanism of action of BI655130 in patients with UC Secondary objectives are to explore clinical effect, safety and tolerability (including immunogenicity) of BI 655130 treatment
This Phase IIa study is an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study aiming at evaluating the safety and the efficacy of ABX464 given once a day (o.d) at 50 mg in subjects with moderate to severe Active Ulcerative Colitis who have failed or are intolerant to immunomodulators, Anti-TNFα, vedolizumab and/or corticosteroids followed by a one-month follow-up period.
The purpose of this study is to establish the incidence of sub-optimal response to anti-TNF therapy in UC and CD participants.
Mucosal immunology during helminth infection
Infliximab and other TNF-inhibitors have revolutionised the treatment of several immunological inflammatory diseases. Still, more than half of the patients either do not respond sufficiently to infliximab therapy or loose efficacy over time. The large individual variation in the serum drug concentrations on standard doses and the development of anti-drug antibodies are thought to be main reasons for these treatment failures. An individualised treatment strategy based on systematic assessments of serum drug concentrations, therapeutic drug monitoring, has been proposed as a clinical tool to optimise efficacy of infliximab treatment. Therapeutic drug monitoring seems reasonable both from a clinical and an economical point of view, but the effectiveness of this treatment strategy still remain to be shown. The NOR-DRUM study is planned as a national, randomised controlled multicentre trial in two parts aiming to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring in order to achieve remission in patients with immunological inflammatory diseases starting infliximab treatment (part A) and in order to maintain disease control in patients on maintenance infliximab treatment (part B). The results of the NOR-DRUM study will hopefully contribute to an implementation of a personalised medicine approach to treatment with infliximab and other biological drugs.
