Filter by:Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis are chronic disease that are usually diagnosed at young age. The diseases and the associated treatment can impact on patient's sexual function, fertility, pregnancy, and delivery. This study aims to assess the impact of inflammatory bowel diseases on these aspects in female patients.
This is a retrospective observational study to investigate the short-term surgical outcomes, and long-term oncological outcomes of patients diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and rectal cancer.
Background: Alberta's Center of Excellence for Nutrition in Digestive Diseases (Ascend) is dedicated to generating new discoveries regarding the link between nutrition and digestive diseases and mobilizing existing research to change the way physicians treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis and intestinal failure. Ascend is a collaboration of excellence within the Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology at both the University of Calgary and University of Alberta. Dr. Raman, PI, is the Director of Ascend. One of Ascend's primary initiatives is the development of a digital health platform for patients living with both Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Dr. Raman and her team have developed an app called LyfeMD, by translating leading scientific research into a practical and engaging digital format. LyfeMD is meant to help people live and thrive while managing their inflammatory disease with holistic, easy-to-implement, evidence based lifestyle therapies. LyfeMD is one app with multiple features - ranging from customized diet using anti-inflammatory principles identified from recent research led by Dr. Raman's team, and exercise plans to mindfulness and stress reduction programs. It helps patients make therapeutic diet choices to treat inflammation and provides stress reduction strategies when they feel unwell. The LyfeMD app also supports patients to maintain remission even when they're feeling well with trusted resources designed to keep them symptom free. In addition to delivering personalized and interactive support, the app uses behavior science to help patients change their habits, improve their health and reduce the burden IBD places on their lives. With proprietary research and a team made up of internationally recognized leaders in the gastrointestinal field, LyfeMD is poised to be the trusted digital health solution for people living with IBD.
This study, A3921210 is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of tofacitinib in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. In the US and EU, patients with prior TNFi failure or intolerance will be enrolled. Outside of the US or EU, patients having had inadequate response or intolerance to oral or IV corticosteroids or azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine or TNFi will be enrolled. All eligible participants will initially receive open label tofacitinib at a dose expected to produce equivalent systemic exposure to that observed in adults receiving 5 mg BID with the option for individual dose increase to 10 mg BID adult dose equivalent if dose escalation criteria are met. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tofacitinib based on remission in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. The primary endpoint is remission by central read Mayo score following 44 weeks in the maintenance phase. Remission is defined by a Mayo score of 2 points or lower, with no individual subscore exceeding 1 point and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0. The study Design is an open-label Phase 3 study that includes a screening period of up to 4-weeks duration, an 8-week or 16-week induction phase, a 44-week maintenance phase, and a 24-month extension phase for pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4 weeks after the last dose of study intervention and a telephone contact 8 weeks later to assess for any adverse events (AEs)/serious adverse events (SAEs). The total maximum duration of this study will be up to 180 weeks.
This is a prospective, non-interventional registry and biorepository for patients with IBD. Longitudinal follow-up data is collected from both patients and their treating gastroenterologist during routine clinical encounters. The biorepository will consist of prospective collection of blood samples, tissue samples, and fecal samples for research purposes, while the participants are undergoing a clinically-indicated procedure (i.e. venipuncture for routine tests, IV catheter placement, and/or endoscopy). Participants may choose to provide any or all of the aforementioned information and/or samples.
An open-label, randomised, multi-centre, dose evaluation study of the efficacy and safety of TLA Gut™ leukapheresis treatment in patients with UC. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different TLA Gut™ dose regimens in patients with acute exacerbation of UC. Enrolled patients will participate in a 6-week treatment phase and a 20- week follow-up phase. The treatment phase consists of two periods; 2 weeks in which patients will undergo two treatment sessions per week, followed by 4 weeks of a single treatment session per week. The follow-up phase consists of 2 visits, one visit at week 7 and the last visit at week 26. Telephone visits will be conducted between these visits. In all a patient will undergo 8 treatment visits and 2 follow-up visits. Only patients not having experienced an earlier recurrence will participate in the follow-up phase.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of using remestemcel-L, an ex vivo culture-expanded adult allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell product (MSCs) delivered by targeted endoscopic delivery to treat people for medically refractory ulcerative colitis. This study will enroll adult patients with medically refractory ulcerative colitis who are planning to switch biologic therapy or undergo colectomy as the next stage in their treatment plan.
There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Some patients have no or little reaction to the traditional drugs. Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microbiota is closely associated with the development of IBD. In recent years, a retrospective study showed that the overall efficiency of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for IBD was 79%, the overall remission rate was 43%, which opened a new chapter in the treatment of IBD. So the standardized fecal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators plan to recruit patients with IBD (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease) in China. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized fecal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with traditional drugs, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators aim to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment, and further to explore which major microbiota may effect in this project.
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) with its prevalence of 2.6 million people in Europe is diagnosed in 25% before the age of 18 years. Early remission is intended to improve child growth, quality of life and reduce psychological comorbidities. Additionally to conventional drugs one third of pediatric CIBD patients use alternative treatment strategies. However, there is a lack of evidence of acupuncture as complementary medicine in pediatric CIBD on the disease activity and inflammation. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of acupuncture in children with CIBD on the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) and the Weighted Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (sPCDAI), which are non-invasive validated instruments to measure the disease activity. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the effect of acupuncture on chronic pain, quality of life and parameters of inflammation.
This is an observational prospective study with two years of follow-up, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of tofacitinib in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in French clinical practice
