Filter by:Medication non-adherence is an existing problem in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Adherence rates are especially low in children and adolescents. Good medication adherence is key in achieving lower disease activity and longer periods of remission. Previous research has shown education can increase medication adherence. MedicijnWijs is a mobile phone app containing a module concerning a 6-weeks guidance with azathioprine therapy. It provides information about IBD and azathioprine. In this multicenter before-and-after study, the aim is to assess the effect of MedicijnWijs on the adherence to azathioprine therapy in adolescents with IBD. This is done using two validated questionnaires that are translated to Dutch: the Medication Adherence Report Scale-5 (MARS-5), which tests the participants' adherence to azathioprine therapy, and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge Inventory Device 2 (IBD-KID2), which tests the participants' knowledge about IBD. These questionnaires are filled in at the beginning of the study period and after 6 weeks of using MedicijnWijs. This way a change in both scores can be assessed. The investigators hypothesize that MedicijnWijs will help increase the adherence to azathioprine therapy in adolescents with IBD.
The investigators hypothesize that use of a remote monitoring digital health system that supports medication taking and monitoring of symptoms will improve adherence, clinical outcomes, and decrease healthcare utilization compared to standard care in participants with inflammatory bowel disease initiating oral or subcutaneous treatment. The investigators are conducting a 12-month, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote monitoring digital health system on adherence, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization. The investigators will address the following specific aims: 1. Compare adherence as measured by the medication possession ratio in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care. 2. Compare clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care.
Post-authorization, prospective and unicenter clinical trial, in which patients with UC will be included. The treatment with anti-TNFα (infliximab, adalimumab or golimumab) or JAK-inhibitors (tofacitinib) will be initiated by clinical practice and the choice will be made at the discretion of the investigator at the center where the patients will be recruited (Hospital Universitario de La Princesa). In the case of the group of patients treated with tofacitinib, the selection will be made following the action protocol implemented in our center, in which this drug is usually reserved for those cases refractory to anti-TNFα and/or vedolizumab. There will be no random assignment of treatment. The drugs will be used in the approved indications and conditions of use.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of etrasimod for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adolescents (≥ 12 years up to < 18 years of age). Participants who will complete the total 52-week treatment period will have the opportunity to continue in a Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period of up to 4 years (5 years after study enrollment), or until marketing authorization is obtained in the participant's country, whichever comes first.
The aim of the study is to improve the quality of nutritional therapy for patients admitted with Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC) treated with high-dose steroids. This study consists of two randomized interventions and one observational part regarding protein, magnesium, and metabolic stress. First an interventional part aims to explore the effect of a high-protein diet during and after admission on different parameters regarding protein turnover.Second the study aims to explore the degree of magnesium depletion in ASUC. In case of magnesium depletion, the study aims to investigate whether oral magnesium supplementation can regain body stores of magnesium. Last the study aims to observe the degree of metabolic stress, including, the degree of insulin resistance, in ASUC during admission and under treatment with high-dose steroids compared to three weeks after discharge.
This study is therefore postulated as a clear alternative that evaluates patients´quality of life, and recognises fecal calprotectin as an inflammatory marker. Longitudinal, prospective, multi-center cohort study to measure the impact that the therapeutic attitude (treatment intensification/de-intensification o escalation/de-escalation) has on the quality of life of patients with UC given a colonoscopy revealing mucosal healing (Mayo 0, Mayo 1); considering as treatment intensification/de-intensification a dose increase or decrease on the same line of treatment, and escalation/de-escalation if there is a change to a new line of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-78934804 as compared to guselkumab and golimumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have had an inadequate initial response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more approved advanced therapy.
A Clinical Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Targeting CD7 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases
Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have higher rates of sexual dysfunction than the general population. We offer an educational program on IBD including a specific discussion on intimacy and sexuality for IBD patients. Our objective is to investigate the benefit of this intervention on sexual function in patients with IBD.
The aim of the study is to compare the tolerability and efficacy of Sucrosomial Iron to Oral Iron Therapy in a randomized controlled trial for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Ulcerative Colitis patients.
