Filter by:BACKGROUND: Granulocyte-monocyte apheresis has been proposed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, although is limited by costs and variability of results.
It is planned to enroll 80 UC patients who will require optimization of golimumab after secondary LOR. The review of the study protocol and its approval by an Independent Ethics Committee of the University of Saint Etienne are pending. All patients enrolled will give their written informed consent before being included. This study will be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki, in compliance with the approved protocol, good clinical practice and applicable regulatory requirements. Patients will visit the investigator from screening visit to visit 6 at W-1, W0, W2, W4, W8, and at the end of the follow-up at wk 24. During their participation, patients will record clinical parameters required to calculate the partial Mayo score reported over 3 days prior to the visit and endoscopy at W0, W2 (optional) , W4, W8 (optional) and at the end of the follow-up to calculate total Mayo score.
Establishing that mucosal healing (MH) has occurred after therapy is an important treatment goal, and the gold standard is endoscopic evaluation. In UC it is unclear if clinical parameters are adequate. The pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI) has demonstrated good correlations for clinical remission and disease severity, but its role for establishing mucosal healing after therapy has not been validated . The ability to predict mucosal healing may be different for patients in long term remission compared to assessment after obtaining clinical remission. No previous study has prospectively validated the use of PUCAI as a proxy for MH specifically during clinical remission after therapy.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy of cobitolimod treatment at different dose levels and frequencies compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe left-sided ulcerative colitis.
The primary objective is to obtain stool samples from subjects diagnosed with , and displaying signs and/or symptoms of IBD and/or IBS will be evaluated in this study. Eligible subjects require a diagnostic colonoscopy with possible biopsy and clinical evaluation.
This retrospective multi-centric Belgian observational trial will involve all patients who have initiated adalimumab for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis prior to September 1st 2015 in a Belgian centre maintaining a prospective log of patients using biological therapy. Only patients fulfilling all Belgian reimbursement criteria for adalimumab will be included, namely having failed mesalamine and steroids or thiopurine analogues for at least 3 months, or being intolerant to this therapy, and showing a total Mayo score of at least 6 with an endoscopic sub-score of at least 2. Both short-term and long-term outcome of adalimumab therapy will be evaluated, focusing on the need and successfulness of adalimumab dose-escalation from 40mg every other week to 40mg every week, and dose de-escalation back to 40mg every other week.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate vedolizumab pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD.
The objectives of this trial are safety and efficacy (proof-of-concept) of induction of mucosal healing by BI 655130 add-on therapy in patients with mild or moderate ulcerative colitis and persisting endoscopic activity despite pre-existing TNFi treatment. This trial will explore safety and efficacy of a dose of BI 655130 that was modelled to achieve the similar exposures as the highest exposures tested and found safe and tolerable in preceding single and multiple dose studies in healthy subjects, as add-on to pre-existing TNFi (Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor) treatment. Secondary and further objectives include assessment of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BI 655130 and early exploration of specific biomarkers with potential usefulness to predict clinical efficacy or safety outcome or help understand BI 655130's mode of action.
The etiopathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is not fully understood. One of the theories of UC pathogenesis represents a pathological response of mucosal immunity to intestinal microbiota. Potential therapeutic procedure how to affect this fact is the faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Review of the literature on FMT suggests great potential as the treatment for UC, but two prospective controlled study that has been published yet are inconsistent. The first objective of the project is to compare the administration of FMT enema with mesalazine enema for inducing remission in patients with active left-sided UC in the form of a prospective, randomized, controlled study. The second objective is to observe changes in the intestinal microbiota during and after FMT focusing on bacterial DNA sequencing to identify the bacterial species which are responsible for the effect of the FMT.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single-dose TD-3504 and single dose 15N2-tofacitinib in healthy subjects and subjects with UC. The relative bioavailability of tofacitinib released from TD-3504 compared to co-administered oral heavy-labeled tofacitinib (15N2-tofacitinib) will also be evaluated.
