Filter by:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine).This study will assess how effective upadacitinib is in treating UC. Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is an approved drug for treating UC. Approximately 400 adult participants who are prescribed Upadacitinib by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Upadacitinib will be administered in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization, and treatment of participants will be determined solely by the investigator. Participants in the study will be followed for up to 2 years. There will be no additional burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.
Several studies using different methodological approach have revealed incomplete, old and conflicting data on the course of hepatobiliary manifestations after surgery. authors conducted a prospective observational study to evaluate the role of LRP on the course of hepatobiliary manifestations for a better knowledge of these manifestations that is necessary to improve their management.also, to evaluate the role of surgery on prevention of liver damage from progression of the disease.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Participants with UC have mucosal inflammation starting in the rectum that can extend continuously to proximal segments of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is a drug approved for the treatment of Ulcerative colitis (UC). All study participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Approximately 1000 adult participants will be enrolled worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 3 years. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic immune-related diseases. IBD symptoms frequently overlap with symptoms of functional GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and defecatory disorders, and these symptoms are common in patients with active disease, and also in quiescent disease. Underdiagnosis of abnormal anorectal function may result in an inappropriate escalation of IBD therapy. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate if damage from chronic inflammation in UC results in anorectal damage such as hypersensitive, hyperactive, poorly compliant rectum, and hypotensive sphincter. If this is the case, early aggressive treatment of the disease is needed. Another important point in this study is to find out which of the anorectal symptoms are due to a hypersensitive, hyperactive, and poorly compliant rectum and not due to mucosal inflammation. The diagnosis of abnormal anorectal function via manometry may help to give the appropriate treatment, such as biofeedback or pharmacological treatment such as loperamide or tricyclic anti-depressants. This may avoid escalation or replacing effective IBD therapy unnecessarily.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a long-term inflammatory condition of the digestive tract. People with UC often have unpredictable and debilitating symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fatigue. In addition, they require long-term treatment with frequent negative effects, the need of surgery and hospitalisations. Therefore, people with UC report a lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) compared with healthy individuals. The most common medication for inflammatory bowel disease is a strong immunosuppressant which has previously (in 2017) been found to be the most expensive medication prescribed at hospitals in the NHS. Unfortunately, biologics has a lot of negative side effects and thus reducing the need of them in patients can benefit both the NHS as a whole by reducing the cost and improving the quality of life of patients by reducing the unwanted side effects of the biologics. Supplementation of Montmorency tart cherry juice might be a simple, safe, and low-cost intervention for improving symptoms in patients with UC. This is because it has the potential to naturally reduce inflammation in the digestive system and thus improve symptoms. Research in animal models has shown a potential for improvement in physiological responses with similar supplements including blueberries, black raspberries and even Montmorency tart cherries, with only one study in human participants exploring bilberry supplementation. However, despite anthocyanins concentrations from Montmorency tart cherries being superior to other berries, dietary interventions using tart cherry supplementation for UC have not received any attention in human participants. The primary purpose of the proposed investigation is to undertake a placebo randomized control trial examining the ability of a Montmorency tart cherry juice supplement to provide symptom relief and health related wellbeing outcomes in those with mild to moderately active UC and to understand the biological mechanisms behind any changes in symptoms.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study. There are three dosage groups: Hemay005 45 mg BID group, 60 mg BID group or placebo group, with 36 patients in each dosage group. All patients will enter a 12-week double-blind treatment period. All subjects who have received the investigational drug should be subjected to a 4-week observation after the end of treatment.
Rationale: Existing literature suggests an impaired health-related physical fitness (HRPF) (i.e., body composition, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, previous studies did not assess HRPF with the 5- component multidimensional concept. HRPF is not routinely screened for and measured within the IBD population in clinical practice. The lack of a simple screening tool and assessment method for HRPF validated for the IBD population hinders the ability to distinguish patients with IBD with adequate physical fitness from those who might benefit from physical exercise interventions targeting specific components. Gold standard measures are too expensive and too complex to implement in daily practice and therefore a screening tool and a simpler assessment battery for HRPF validated in patients with IBD are needed. It is necessary to obtain more objective insights into the specific components of HRPF affected in patients with IBD, and its association with patient-, disease-, and treatment-related factors in order to implement systematic screening in routine care and subsequently offer tailored physical exercise interventions. Objective: The main objective of this study is to validate a simple screening tool and a best-practice assessment battery for the different components of HRPF against gold standard measures. Secondary objectives are to objectively assess the incidence of specific components affected in patients with IBD compared to healthy control subjects and to explore the association between these components of HRPF affected and patient-, disease-, and treatment-related factors.
Inflammatory bowel disease is a group of chronic, non-specific inflammatory diseases of the intestinal tract whose etiology has not yet been fully elucidated, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Vedolizumab, a novel biologic agent, is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically antagonizes intestine-selective α4β7 integrins on the surface of leukocyte subsets, thereby preventing migration of leukocyte subsets from the blood to the intestinal mucosa and reducing local inflammation in the gut. In this study the investigators propose to build on an existing cohort and analyse, by means of a multi-omics approach, the baseline gut microbial composition and abundance, intestinal and serum metabolome characteristics of UC patients and their changes during treatment, to predict the functional mechanisms by which these changing characteristics influence the therapeutic response to vindolizumab.
In patients achieving clinical remission following a flare, artificial intelligence can reliably predict a new flare within the next 12 months utilizing clinical and objective information at day 0 and week 8. Secondary endpoints: - An artificial intelligence model's precision in predicting a new flare within 2 and 3 years - An artificial intelligence model's precision to rule out patients who will not experience a new flare within 1, 2 and 3 year
Participants who are in clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib once daily (q.d.) for at least 2 consecutive quarterly visits in the ongoing SELECTION-LTE study (GS-US-418-3899, NCT02914535), are planned to be rolled over and randomized in this study. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib in participants in stable clinical remission on 200 mg filgotinib q.d. for whom the dose was decreased to 100 mg q.d. compared to participants remaining on 200 mg q.d.
