Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of mirikizumab in pediatric participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will last about 172 weeks and may include up to 44 visits.
Investigators aimed at investigating the prediction ability of faecal calprotectin to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy Investigators aimed to evaluate the prediction ability of NLR, PLR and MLR to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy. Investigators evaluate the histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy in Assuit university hospital.
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from vedolizumab. At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants will receive vedolizumab slowly through a vein (infusion). Participants will regularly visit the clinic for up to 46 weeks for more infusions of Vedolizumab. During these visits, the study doctor will check if there are any side effects from this treatment. Participants will visit the clinic for a final check-up up to 16 weeks after their final infusion of Vedolizumab. Clinic staff will arrange a phone call 6 months after their final infusion of Vedolizumab for a further check-up.
In this study, participants with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease or pouchitis will be treated with Kynteles injection (Vedolizumab) according to their clinic's standard practice. The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from treatment with Kynteles injection (Vedolizumab). Another aim is to learn how many participants have improved symptoms after treatment with Kynteles injection (Vedolizumab).
Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. The study is also evaluating side effects of vedolizumab in the children and teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.
This is a comparative pragmatic trial in patients with UC and CD on maintenance treatment with IFX. All IBD patients from cohort A with maintenance IFX treatment at a referral IBD clinic are prospectively included between June and August 2018. An ultra-proactive IFX TDM algorithm is applied as follows. All patients have an ELISA TL measurement at baseline, of which the result determined the follow-up pathway: (A) TL between 3-7μg/mL: continuation at same dose and interval; (B) TL >7μg/mL: interval prolongation allowed; (C) TL <3μg/mL: interval shortening with minimum 2 weeks, with the next IFX TL measured using a POCT. (i) If the POCT showed an IFX TL <3μg/mL, dose was optimized ad hoc using a linear dosing formula (Dosen = (TL target * Dose n-1) / TL measured), followed by a new POCT test at next visit with the same interval. (ii) If the POCT showed an IFX TL ≥3µg/mL, no additional dose was given and routine TL testing with ELISA was retaken at next visit. At every visit this algorithm was reapplied to all patients. The patients from cohort A will be compared with the patients from cohort B. The patients in cohort B receive maintenance IFX treatment at a referral IBD clinic during the same period. Dose adjustment are done based on standard of care reactive TDM of IFX and clinical symptoms. Data will be collected retrospectively to avoid treatment optimization bias.
This phase II trial studies the effect of atorvastatin in treating patients with ulcerative colitis who have a dominant-negative missense P53 mutation and are at risk of developing large intestinal cancer. Patients with ulcerative colitis are known to have an increased risk of developing large intestinal cancer. Better ways to control ulcerative colitis and more knowledge about how to prevent colon cancer are needed. Atorvastatin is a drug used to lower the amount of cholesterol in the blood and to prevent stroke, heart attack, and angina (chest pain). It blocks an enzyme that helps make cholesterol in the body. It also causes an increase in the breakdown of cholesterol. The information gained from this study may help doctors learn more about atorvastatin as an agent in cancer prevention, and may help to improve public health.
The MUSIC study is a multi-centre, longitudinal study set in the real world IBD clinical setting to investigate and develop a new biomarker approach that aims to inform both patients and clinicians of the current state of the affected gut lining (how inflamed or whether the bowel wall has completely healed). This new biomarker approach will study a panel of molecular signs in IBD patients' blood, stools and biopsies that will be correlated to the current gold standard of direct gut visual examination using ileo-colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy tests (a fibre-optic examination of the lower small bowel and large bowel). Here, the state and appearances of IBD patients' gut lining will be assessed over one year in response to treatment given to them by their NHS IBD consultant. This approach will focus on the role of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), also known as 'danger signals'. DAMPs are found in our own cells and are released during tissue stress or injury. Like signals from bacteria, they can trigger inflammation. In the MUSIC study, blood, stool, saliva and gut samples obtained from participants during active IBD and in clinical remission will be used in order to understand how DAMPs contribute to the development of gut inflammation.
An 8-week yoga intervention to determine the feasibility and acceptability of yoga as a supplemental therapy in the management of inflammatory bowel disease in the adolescent population.
Aloe vera is used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but no data are present in regard the gel formulation as topical therapy in active ulcerative colitis.
