Filter by:This is a multi-center, randomized, parallel arm, double-blind study with approximately 750 participants with moderately to severely active Colitis Ulcerosa randomized to receive either PB016 or Entyvio®
This is a prospective, interventional pilot study to assess the feasibility and optimal timing of a multimodal intervention program in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients with active disease as well as in patients in remission. Secondly, to demonstrate the effects of a multimodal intervention program on individual patients level and therapy outcomes.
Taking part in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of Ulcerative Colitis patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future Ulcerative Colitis patients.
Immune-related colitis from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is a common adverse effect causing significant morbidity and impairment of quality of life (QoL). Steroids are the first line of treatment for severe ICI induced Immune- mediated diarrhea and colitis (IMDC). If there is no improvement in 48 to 72 hours, other immunosuppressive agents (infliximab, vedolizumab) are recommended. However, efficacy data supporting the use of immunosuppressives for steroid refractory IMDC is limited by case reports/series. Clinical trials focusing on steroid-refractory colitis are sparse. Novel treatments for IMDC outside of blanket immunosuppression are needed. There is robust evidence to suggest that gut microbial diversity and composition is associated with both ICI efficacy and toxicity. Preliminary studies have shown that pathophysiology of immune mediated colitis may be related to loss of gut microbial diversity. Recently, multiple case series have shown the utility of fecal microbiota transplant for treatment of refractory IMDC providing the proof of concept. This is a pilot randomized placebo controlled study to assess the safety and feasibility of oral restorative microbiota therapy (RMT) in patients with steroid- refractory IMDC.
The aim of the present study was to know the prevalence of primary eosinophilic colitis(PEC) in patients with lower gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea and chronic abdominal pain for which no other causes were identified.
This study aims to investigate possible efficacy and safety of Roflumilast in adult patients with ulcerative colitis disease .
The study team's principal interest is to address the question, "Will prophylactic treatment with mesalamine reduce the incidence and severity of immune-related diarrhea occurring secondarily to treatment with ipi/nivo?"
Investigators propose to validate efficacy and safety of the detection of DEFA5 in the diagnosis of the colonic IBD using longitudinal vs. cross-sectional studies of known patient clinical data to correlate with their endoscopy biopsy data. 30% of colonic IBD patients cannot be accurately diagnosed (CC vs. UC) in a timely manner even when a state-of-the-art classification system of combined clinical, endoscopic, radiologic and histologic tools are used. When the diagnostic classification for these two diseases is inconclusive, the condition is termed indeterminate colitis (IC). Here, the central medical challenge is the discrimination of IBD into the specific subtypes with high accuracy, as it greatly effects surgical care of patients. Diagnostic accuracy of IC into either authentic UC or CC is of utmost importance when determining a patient's candidacy for RPC-IPAA surgery, the standard curative surgical procedure for UC. Further, incorrect diagnosis and treatment carry potential morbidity from inappropriate and unnecessary surgery and costs. The success outcomes of RPC-IPAA surgery and convalescence depend on correct diagnosis. To address IBD diagnosis ambiguity and delays in IBD clinical settings, investigators developed a proteomic signature to discriminate between UC and CC patients that also will predict the outcome of IC patients for their eventual progress to either UC or CC. Our published data has shown robust evidence supporting presence of human alpha-defensin 5 (DEFA5) in areas of the colon mucosa with aberrant expression of apparent Paneth cell-like cells (PCLCs) or crypt cell-like cells (CCLCs), which identifies an area of colonic ileal metaplasia, consistent with the diagnosis of CC. DEFA5 bioassay discriminated CC and UC in a cohort of all IC patients with accuracy. A fit logistic model with group CC and UC as the outcome and the DEFA5 as independent variable differentiator with a positive predictive value of 96%. These findings were obtained solely from colectomy specimens for both the discovery and validation analyses. Investigators believe that use of endoscopy biopsies would be indifferent, which is the purpose of this prospective patient centered clinical study. Investigators propose to demonstrate that UC and CC, the two unsolved medical subtypes of pathology with no drugs for a cure, can accurately be distinguished molecularly by examining CCLCs-secreted DEFA5 in colonic endoscopy biopsies instantly. Our proposal is highly innovative, as it highlights the robustness of DEFA5 and its clinical relevance to IBD is both in science and the anticipated impact, as investigators seek to better understand difficulty to determine 'subtypes" and translate that to improve diagnosis, treatment, clinical outcomes, and quality of life for patients and the realm of clinical care. DEFA5 immunoreactivity in colonic endoscopy biopsies could be a rapid potential diagnostic signature to resolve IC into authentic UC and CC with a first clinic endoscopy biopsy. IC is likely to be eliminated for good.
