Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Condition or disease: Ulcerative Colitis Intervention/treatment: Drug: Etrasimod Drug: Placebo Phase: Phase 3
The primary aim is to evaluate if introduction of eHealth in its form of the web application Constant-Care (https://ibd.constant-care.com) could reduce the length of hospitalization in patients with acute severe Ulcerative Colitis treated with infliximab. This is relative to historical controls extracted from medical records. Patients will self-measure on the web-application while hospitalized as well as after discharge. At the web-application different questionnaires are filled out and a fecal calprotectin (FC) analysis is performed on a smartphone. The final follow up is one year after admission.
Type : interventional, randomized single blind study Aim : to evaluate 3 sessions of osteopathy on IBS-like symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis in remission Number of patients : 50 (randomization 1:1) Duration of the inclusion period : 2 years Primary end-point : Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS SSS) at 3 months
Partial response or loss of response to golimumab is observed in a significant proportion of patients started on golimumab for active ulcerative colitis. The current dosing regimen in European Union is based on patients' body weight as maintenance treatment for patients with ≥ 80 kg is 100 mg q4 weeks and for patients with <80 kg 50 mg q4 weeks. The investigators recent observations in a golimumab pharmacokinetics study of 24 patients however, show large interindividual variations in golimumab trough concentrations. Furthermore, it seems that patients with continuous response have higher golimumab trough levels at several time points during treatment compared to patients who lose response. Higher induction/maintenance dose of golimumab increases golimumab trough levels, therefore it is likely that higher induction/maintenance dose of golimumab would increase efficacy of golimumab treatment.
This study aims to characterize the Portuguese population of patients with moderate-to-severe UC receiving advanced therapies, by describing clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, and remission outcomes . The clinical, biochemical, endoscopic, and histological outcomes will also be described, as well as frequency of selected EIM, comorbidities and the uptake of preventive care measures and hospitalizations .
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding Ulcerative Colitis
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a low-fat or standard American diet (high in fat) in helping people with ulcerative colitis improve their symptoms and the signs of inflammation in blood tests and in bowel biopsies.
Gastrointestinal disorders represents 20-50% of referrals to the gastroenterologist; being the most affected womens, youths and older adults. Among these alterations are the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), which affects the gut causing impaired motility. The pharmacological and nutritional treatment are modified according to the symptomatology and activity of each patients. Currently the implementation of low FODMAP diets for 6 to 8 weeks in patients whith IBS improves symptoms such as bloating, flatulence and abdominal pain. However due to the number of restricted foods a long term attachment could limited the nutritional content, consequently affecting the nutritional status, gut microbiota an quality of life. A low FODMAP diet are useful to improve gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with UC and causes changes in nutritional status.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of moderate to high intensity exercise on gut function and inflammatory markers in patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC), and to compare them with individuals of matched age who do not suffer from Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Participants will be asked to complete 60 minutes of continuous cycling at a moderate to high intensity followed by a three hour recovery period. Gastrointestinal function will be measured using a non-invasive breath test. Blood samples will be collected at multiple time-points during the visit and these samples will be measured for markers of immune function and intestinal integrity.
Several oral mesalazine (5-ASA) formulations exist, but the regimes require several tablets per day. Such regimens are not ideal and can interfere with normal daily activities of patients. Non-adherence has been associated with an increase in the risk of relapse and worse disease course; leading to a decrease in quality of life, an increase in societal and personal costs, and worst case increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, a new formula for 5-ASA has been approved by the Danish Medicine Agency, with a single tablet regime per day. Primary purpose: • To investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen for 5- ASA (1600 mg as one tablet per day [intervention]) improves adherence with preserved remission rates compared to conventional therapy. Secondary purposes: - Compare levels of endoscopic, mucosal and histological inflammation in predicting risk of relapse between the intervention group and the conventional therapy group. - Investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen improves the disease course compared to the conventional therapy. - To assess the correlation between different endpoints and the disease courses, with the use of clinical, endoscopic, histological, self-reported and biochemical markers. - Improve, correlate and assess patient-reported outcomes in a prospective manner. - To establish a biobank of cases with quiescent/mild ulcerative colitis (UC) for identification of future biomarkers.
