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).Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. CD may cause tiredness, loose stools with or without bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study will evaluate the effect of repeated infusions of risankizumab on the pharmacokinetics of sensitive probe substrates of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD. Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed to treat trial participants with inflammatory diseases such as UC and CD. The study is split into two periods. In Period 1, participants will receive single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes and in Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab followed by single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes. Around 20 adult participants with moderately to severely active CD or UC will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites worldwide. In Period 1, participants will receive oral doses of CYP sensitive probes on Day 1. In Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 29 and 57 followed by oral CYP sensitive probes on Day 64. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects.
This study evaluates the safety of the probiotic compound IDOFORM TRAVEL® in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment with insufficient clinical response. Furthermore, the study aims to explore the composition of the bacteria of the gut as well as the immunological activity in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment, aiming to identify differences between groups of patients responding and not responding adequately to treatment. The project will explore whether probiotics have beneficial effects as adjuvant therapy in ulcerative colitis patients with insufficient response to anti-TNF treatment.
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled first in human study in approximately 36 male healthy subjects and approximately 20 male and female patients with active UC who have had an inadequate response to or demonstrated intolerance to 5-ASA.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that most likely results from the interaction between various environmental and genetic factors. Using probiotics as an adjunct to medical therapy might be useful in the treatment of UC and improving the symptoms of the disease. The result of studies that investigate the role of Probiotics supplementation in improving the inflammatory response, immune response and life quality of patients with the UC is not conclusive. So, this study aimed to study the effect of probiotics on the response of inflammatory markers, immune response, and quality of life in patients with UC. An interventional double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design will be used in this study. Forty patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=20) to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire and blood samples will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of follow up. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1,interleukin-10 IL-10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and complete blood count (CBC) will be measured. The results will approve or disapprove the beneficial effect of using probiotics as adjuvant therapy for UC patients to raise the immune system as well as improving their quality of life.
A web application decision support tool has been developed for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The purpose of this pilot trial is to test the web application for adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This research will assess acceptability, feasibility of the decision support intervention for AYA UC patients. Participants will be randomized to usual care or usual care plus the web application prior to an upcoming clinic visit in Gastroenterology. Participants will complete surveys one week after their clinic visit about decision making preferences and, for those in the intervention group, usability and acceptability of the web application.
This is Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled study to demonstrate superiority of CT-P13 SC over Placebo SC in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
Fatigue is a common symptom and a leading concern in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and often persists despite clinical and endoscopic remission. This study evaluates the metabolomic profile of fatigued patients with IBD.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a low-fat or standard American diet (high in fat) in helping people with ulcerative colitis improve their symptoms and the signs of inflammation in blood tests and in bowel biopsies.
Summary Vision Study Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) are chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Vedolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against α4β7 integrin, capable of blocking the migration of several immune cells across endothelium expressing MAdCAM-1. Vedolizumab is expensive and primary non-response is high in both CD and UC. Currently there are no predictors of response to vedolizumab and the actual mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. To clarify the mechanism of action and gain better understanding of the high primary non-response rates, the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) developed a tracer fluorescently labeling vedolizumab. This study aims to gain insight into vedolizumab distribution and concentrations in the gut. The current study aims to identify the vedolizumab target cells in the inflamed gut mucosa using quantitative fluorescence molecular imaging (FMI). By gaining insight into local vedolizumab concentrations, drug distribution and by discovering target cells, we expect to gain insight into the mechanism of action of vedolizumab.
This study is a randomized double-blind clinical trial that intends to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LGG administration at two different doses, for 1 month, in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with mild-moderate disease activity in therapy with oral mesalamine. Efficacy of therapy will be evaluated by clinical (Clinical Mayo score, quality of life assessment), endoscopic (Endoscopic Mayo score), histological, biochemical (white cell count, C-reactive protein), and molecular (mucosal colonization of the bacteria, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines measurement) parameters. UC patients with mild-moderately active disease despite oral treatment with mesalamine will be assessed at baseline for clinical, endoscopic, histologic inflammatory activity. After a wash-out period of 4 weeks of mesalamine, patients will be randomized to assume a regular (LGG 1.2 × 10^10 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/day, 2 capsules a day) or a double (LGG 2.4 × 10^10 CFU/day, 4 capsules a day) dose of LGG for 1 month. At the end of the treatment, clinical, endoscopic, and histologic inflammatory activity will be evaluated and compared to pre-treatment data. Adhesion and molecular effect of LGG will be also evaluated. Safety will be assessed by weekly phone calls and with direct physical examination at the end of the study period.
