Filter by:Ulcerative colitis is a condition that mainly affects young adults where the lining of the bowel is inflamed causing bloody diarrhea. The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown and treatments remain imperfect with no cure for the disease. Initial success has been shown with a highly novel treatment where patients with active ulcerative colitis receive a fecal enema to try and replace their stool containing bacteria that may be driving their disease with that from a healthy donor. To assess if this works by comparing how well it treats the disease compared to a placebo enema.
This is a multi-center, open-label study to determine the safety and effectiveness (how well it works) of two standardized treatments called "mesalamine" (Pentasa®) and "prednisone" in children with newly diagnosed Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Standardized treatments are types of treatments agreed upon and used by many qualified doctors. The medications being used in this study are considered "standard of care". Currently the ways in which these medicines are used (doses, frequency of dosing) may vary from site to site. This study will determine response to a standardized way of giving these medicines. This study will also identify biomarkers for ulcerative colitis. Biomarkers are things that doctors can find in blood, stool, or bowel tissue that indicate how much inflammation there is in the bowel, how the inflammation is produced, and whether the inflammation is responding to treatment. Collecting response and remission (free of symptoms) information on these standardized treatments and the "biomarkers" can possibly help doctors create a model, or plan to know which children with UC may respond quickly, or which children may develop complications.
The purpose of the study is to test an online behavioral intervention to improve medication adherence in children diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Interested families will be monitored for four weeks to determine how frequently their child's IBD medication is taken. Patient's taking less than 90% of medications will be randomized to one of two intervention conditions to complete intervention sessions online. The study consists of 4 online intervention sessions with topics differing by condition and 5 online assessments to complete quality of life questionnaires over a 14 month time frame.
Casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP) has anti-inflammatory properties in experimental rodent colitis and using human in vitro inflammation models. Its use as a food ingredient has proven safe and with no influence on dietary intake. We hypothesize that orally administered CGMP has a beneficial effect comparable to that of mesalazine in active distal ulcerative colitis.
This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of budesonide MMX 9 mg versus placebo as add-on therapy to an existing oral 5-ASA regimen for the induction of remission in participants with active mild or moderate ulcerative colitis (UC).
Evaluation of the intraepithelial neoplasia detection rate in patients with long standing ulcerative colitis undergoing mucosal staining with oral methylene blue MMX tablets prior to colonoscopy.
This non-interventional study examines whether the patient's level of information and the consideration of the patient's preference have a positive effect on the compliance and thus also on the therapeutic success.
Confirmation of safety profile
The objective of the proposed study is to determine whether BL-7040 demonstrates clinical efficacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The purpose of this study is to determine if cobitolimod (former called Kappaproct®) is effective in the treatment of chronic active ulcerative colitis patients not responding to available therapy.
