Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare how effective and how tolerable two different bowel preparation laxatives are for colonoscopy. The aim is to compare oral sulfate solution (OSS) to another laxative called 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution to see which is more effective and more tolerable by individuals with IBD (Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis).
The purpose of this real world non-interventional study is to learn about the effects of etrasimod as treatment for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Patients will be treated according to standard of care and will only be included in the study if etrasimod is the best treatment choice according to the treating physician. Additionally, patients have to be between 18 and 65 years of age and should not have taken etrasimod in the past. All patients will be prescribed etrasimod according to standard of care. Assessments will be conducted according to standard of care with the exception of health questionnaires which will be completed by the patients online on their own device. The study duration is 52 weeks with 28 days of safety follow-up. Patients will visit their treating physician as they would if they were not enrolled in the study. During the study duration, patients will be asked to complete health questionnaires on a regular basis either on their mobile phone, tablet or computer. The effects of etrasimod will be analyzed for each patient comparing to their disease activity prior to the start of etrasimod.
1. Determine if the ACE index can predict resoponse to I V steroid in Acute severe ulcerative colitis 2. identify on admission a high-risk population who may beneft from earlier second line medical treatment or surgical intervention. ( steroid non responder groups )
The goal is to evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue levels during a period of eating gluten free compared to a period of high gluten consumption in individuals with confirmed Ulcerative Colitis, and to identify clinical characteristics in the blood and microbiome of those improving from a gluten free diet. The main questions, the project aims to answer are: - What is the effect of eating gluten free on patient-reported gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Ulcerative Colitis? - What is the effect of eating gluten free on patient-reported fatigue levels in patients with Ulcerative Colitis? - What are clinical differences between those improving and not improving on fatigue levels and gastrointestinal symptoms? During two study periods of one week each, participants will be eating gluten free supplemented with daily granola bars without and with high gluten content, respectively. During each active week, participants are asked to: - Eat gluten free and two daily granola bars delivered by the research team - Collect blood, stool and urine samples - Answer questionnaires about their symptoms, disease course, habitual lifestyle, and compliance to the protocol
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the colon. Composition of gut microbiota of UC patients is abnormal (dysbiosis). Ulcerative Colitis patients have an increased risk of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and CDI complications (colectomy, death, recurrence). The reason for this increased risk in IBD patients is not fully understood. The decrease in the proportion of secondary bile acids, induced by microbiota dysbiosis in patients with UC could favor C. difficile infection. The main objective of the study is to describe the composition of bile acids (primary and secondary) in children followed for UC during relapse with or without CDI and to compare it to children with UC in remission and healthy controls. The composition of fecal microbiota will be also describe to correlate dysbiosis and bile acid abnormalities. And finally some fecal biomarkers will be study : short chain fatty acids, metabolic pathway of Tryptophan, and fecal Calprotectin.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the possible beneficial effect of silymarin in Ulcerative Colitis adult patients receiving mesalamine. This is trial that will be conducted on 44 adult patients with newly diagnosed Ulcerative Colitis. Patients will be enrolled after obtaining an informed consent from them or their guardians. Patients will be recruited from Rajhy Hospital Outpatient Clinics and Health Insurance Outpatient Clinics at Mabarra Hospital in Assiut, Egypt. The patients will be randomized based on hospital admission days into two groups: - Group Ⅰ (control group): 22 patients will receive mesalamine (4g\day induction & 2g\day maintenance) only for 6 months. - Group Ⅱ (silymarin group): 22 patients will receive mesalamine (4g\day induction & 2g\day maintenance) and silymarin (140 mg\day) for 6 months. The primary outcome will be clinical improvement defined as a 2 point or more decrease in the Mayo score from baseline. The secondary outcomes will be the change in the level of fecal calprotectin, superoxide dismutase and TNF-α.
The ULTRAZ study is designed to better understand the mode of action of S1P receptor modulators. The alteration of leukocyte trafficking due to S1P receptors such as ozanimod is mainly investigated in rodent studies. Several previous studies show a reduced total leukocyte count in peripheral blood and only two study reported the effect of leukocyte subgroups before and after treatment with ozanimod. The change in leukocyte subgroups in peripheral blood as well as colonic mucosa and lymph nodes have not been investigated to our knowledge. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the changes in these three compartments.
A randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre, phase III, non inferiority trial of an oral mesalazine formulation in patients with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis for the induction of remission.
1. characterize the response to current medical therapy in adult with ulcerative colitis . 2. Detect prognostic factors of response of biological therapy in adult with ulcerative colitis
The purpose of this retrospective observational cohort study is to assess pregnancy and infant outcomes in three groups: the first is women with ulcerative colitis (UC) who were exposed to ozanimod during pregnancy; the second is women with UC exposed to conventional therapy during pregnancy; the third is women with UC exposed to advanced therapy during pregnancy. This study will use data from a large US healthcare claims database.
