View clinical trials related to Colitis.
Filter by:The treatment for Ulcerative Colitis (UC) aims to achieve and maintain remission and is usually lifelong and expensive. Current available medications are unable to break the cycle of chronic inflammation, and still a significant proportion of patients will fail to respond (primary non-response) or lose response over time (secondary non-response). There is now growing evidence that there is substantial interpatient variation in the composition of the inflammation associated network of immune cells. A deeper knowledge of the patient's alterations in the mucosal immune response would help identify key drivers of inflammation and select the appropriate therapy. By analyzing the changes in the composition of immune cells induced by Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibition, we aim to obtain a better insight into the mechanistic effects of JAK inhibition and the downstream effects. These mechanistic insights are needed to identifying potential responders and non-responders in the future.
Investigaters will perform a clinical trial to asess the abilitiy of qFIT and FC on predicting UC MH and histology remission.
The study is an extension of two parent studies (MLN0002-3024 [NCT04779307] and MLN0002-3025 [NCT04779320]). Participants must have participated in one of the previous studies. The purpose of this study is to collect the long-term safety of vedolizumab in children with UC or CD.
Tofacitinib (TOFA) is a JAK inhibitor already used in rheumatology for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease- modifying antirheumatic drugs. Furthermore, TOFA has been recently approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who had no response, lose response, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent. The approval was based on the efficacy demonstrated by TOFA in three phase 3 randomized controlled trials named OCTAVE: two identically designed, 8-week, placebo- controlled, induction studies of oral TOFA 10 mg twice daily followed by the OCTAVE Sustain 52-week maintenance study. About sacroiliitis, 2 out of 8 patients treated with TOFA improved after 8 weeks, compared with 0 out of 3 patients in the placebo group. Obviously, these data should be interpreted with extreme caution since patient numbers were very low, and it should be again emphasized that these trials were not designed to explore the efficacy of TOFA onextraintestinal manifestations. On these premises, we designed a prospective, multicenter, observational, 52-week study with the aim of assess the effectiveness of TOFA on UC-associated spondyloarthropathy.
The primary endpoint will be evaluated through the following variables: PUCAI score, IFX levels, and steroid treatment. Clinical response to IFX will be evaluated through the PUCAI score. The response will be considered clinically significant if PUCAI points continue maintained below 30 during the study period. The IFX response will also be determined by IFX serum levels. A therapeutic IFX level, i.e. for achieving an adequate clinical response, is established above 6 μg/mL. Finally, the necessity, or not, of a steroid treatment during the study period will also be indicative of successful efficacy with GMA.
The main aim of the study is to observe adult participants in South Korea that are being treated with vedolizumab injected just under the skin (subcutaneous or SC) to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an in-adequate response with, lost response to, or had too many side effects in response to either conventional therapy or a Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist. This study will observe the side effects and potential benefit to UC and CD participants related to vedolizumab SC treatment with data collection from medical files. There is no treatment involved in this study, this is only an observational review of current collected data relating to adults in South Korea with UC or CD treated with vedolizumab SC.
Preliminary data demonstrate that irAEs induced by immune checkpoint blockade can be successfully treated with ECP (Apostolova et al. NEJM 2020). Therefore this retrospective analysis is launched to validate the finding made with the individual patient in a larger patient cohort. The analysis will include the evaluation of safety of ECP treatment in patients with irAEs and collect data on the efficacy of ECP as a treatment for immune-related adverse events and its effect on tumor progression.
TNF inhibitors have improved treatment options for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and three TNF inhibitors, infliximab, adalimumab and golimumab are available for treatment of ulcerative colitis in Switzerland. However, these drugs have been tested under ideal conditions in randomized controlled trials. Real-world data are needed to complement this information. It is the aim of the investigators to study, whether patients with ulcerative colitis can be effectively treated with golimumab in a real world setting in Switzerland. The investigators used data from the Swiss IBD cohort study (SIBDC) in Switzerland and identified all SIBDC patients with UC treated with Golimumab and performed a retrospective chart review. The investigators acquired patient reported outcomes and objective measures for inflammation at baseline, at 6-10 weeks and at 6 and 12 months after golimumab treatment. Primary endpoint was clinical response (i.e. meaningful improvement) at 6-10 weeks. Secondary endpoints were clinical response at 6 and 12 months and clinical remission (i.e. free of symptoms of disease).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of cobitolimod ememas (500mg/50mL) given to participants with active left-sided UC.
The primary reason of this study is to observe current treatment options in participants receiving Vedolizumab, intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC), for IBD in Poland. There is no treatment involved in this study, this is only an observational review of ongoing/initiating treatment data relating to Vedolizumab induction and maintenance treatment for IBD [including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD)].
