Filter by: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.
•This study will be a randomized, controlled, parallel study. .To demonstrate the efficacy of empagliflozin and clinical improvement in patients of mild to moderate UC using the Montreal classification of severity of ulcerative colitis.
In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the role of intestinal ultrasound in evaluation of the therapeutic response to biological therapy in patient with ulcerative colitis
A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled parallel trial with two intervention arms and two placebo arms and a period of eight intervention weeks to validate the prediction that prebiotics could induce a higher response in mild UC patients with certain fecal microbiome signatures.
Mini-MARVEL study, children and young people with an active flare of UC requiring either the start of or an increase in existing mesalazine therapy will be given either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks in the Mini-MARVEL M arm of the study. Those children and young people with an active flare of UC requiring the start of an oral steroid course will be given either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks in the Mini- MARVEL S arm of the study, Further, newly diagnosed children and young people with UC can have either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks with their newly started mesalazine therapy in the Mini-MARVEL M arm of the study, or with their newly started oral steroid course in the Mini-MARVEL S arm of the study. This trial will look at how feasible a multi-centre stratified RCT of this add-on (adjunct) therapy in paediatric UC is in the UK. An assessment after 6, 12 and 24 weeks will be carried out to find out if MitoQ will result in higher rates of improvement in the participants' symptoms, quality of life and gut lining inflammation. Furthermore, the trial will investigate if their UC will be better controlled and that they are less likely to need further steroids or more potent forms of drugs. MitoQ has been shown to be safe in 2 large human clinical studies in Parkinson's disease and Hepatitis C, but the Mini-MARVEL study, starting alongside the adult MARVEL study, will be the first study in UC in children and young people. At low doses, MitoQ is used as a nutritional supplement that has an anti-oxidant effect. Currently, many drug treatments in UC are very strong, expensive and aimed at suppressing the immune system. Steroid courses are often needed but these have lots of adverse events in children and young people and are strongly disliked by many. If the Mini- MARVEL study provides supportive data on feasibility, including where we have to concentrate our efforts to include enough children and young people through to study end, we could design a full-scale trial to see if MitoQ can be a safe and cost-effective new treatment that works at blocking the specific inflammatory signal found in the gut lining of children and young people with UC.
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.
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.
My study aims to directly compare the efficacy and safety of Budesonide MMX versus Prednisolone in the management of mild to moderate cases of ulcerative colitis.
This project will use deep learning to classify colonoscopy images of different severity of ulcerative colitis, so as to assist clinicians in the accurate diagnosis of ulcerative colitis.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by diffuse, continuous inflammation of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective mesalamine delayed-release capsules are in treating pediatric participants with UC. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Delzicol (Mesalamine) is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 80 Pediatric participants aged 5 to 17 years with a diagnosis of UC will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites in the United States. Participants will receive oral mesalamine capsules twice daily for 26 weeks and followed for 30 days. There may be higher treatment 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. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
