Filter by:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an entity of complex etiology where environmental, genetic and intestinal microflora-related factors trigger and perpetuate a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is suspected that an alteration in primary intestinal microbial colonization (dysbiosis) could trigger, or at least contribute to, said oversized immune response. The hypothesis is that the administration of a series of fibers, could improve the bacterial diversity and repair the dysbiosis that has been seen in patients affected by ulcerative colitis, improving the clinical evolution of it. The primary objective of the present study is to know the impact on the microbiota of patients with UC in remission derived from the administration of dietary fibers. The RETOS study is a pilot project in which a population of patients with UC is tested for the effect on the composition of the microbiota that would have the administration of various combinations of fibers, in addition to the tolerability and acceptance by the patient. The clinical applicability derived from this intervention would be to improve the diversity of intestinal flora of patients with ulcerative colitis.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract of unknown etiology. UC is characterized by recurring episodes of inflammation limited to mucosal and submucosal layers of the colon. The object of the present study was to determine the prevalence of intestinal protozoa and helminthes in UC patients, and the role of this changes in aetiopathogenesis of diseases. Patients will be examined before and after therapy. Parasites and protozoa prevalence and intensity will be detected by triple coproscopy.Microbiological study will be conducted before therapy for detection pathogenic bacteria only from UC patients infected with B. hominis . If intestinal pathogenic bacteria are found, participants will be excluded from further investigation.
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is acknowledged as a highly effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Usually single fecal infusion achieves satisfactory cure rates of recurrent CDI). However, several retrospective studies show that severe clinical picture of recurrent CDI is a risk factor for the failure of single-infusion FMT, suggesting that multiple fecal infusions are required to cure this condition. This is an open-label randomized clinical trial aiming to assess if multiple-infusion FMT is more effective than single-infusion FMT in curing severe CDI
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation limited to colonic mucosa. Its pathogenesis is not still clear, even if a multifactorial aetiology has been advocated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of two different doses of VSL#3® added on standard therapy (5-ASA) in maintaining remission in an adult population of patients with UC, compared with the standard therapy (5-ASA) plus placebo. The investigators hypothesized that adding VSL#3® to mesalamine would lead to higher remission rate at long-term evaluation.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of PF-06687234 and [124I]IB-PF-06687234 (simultaneously given) in subjects with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease. The study used PET-CT scan imaging to assess the distribution of PF-06687234 and [124I]IB-PF-06687234 over 24 and 72 hours in colon (inflamed and non-inflamed), plasma, colon, liver, spleen, kidney and small intestine.
To demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy of FE 999315 to mesalazine in patients with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis after 8 weeks of treatment.
Epidemiological studies suggest that daily intake of fruits and vegetables high in polyphenols or the addition of olive oil containing many polyphenols is associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases including cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory bowel conditions. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the administration of a diet associated with daily intake of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) reduces histological lesions and symptomatology in rats with a dextran sulfate sodium (DDS) induced colitis. A diet supplemented with hydroxytyrosol (a component of olive oil) showed a reduction of the inflammatory process at the inflamed colon of the rats.
The M2iSH laboratory showed with two previous clinical trials that Crohn's Disease (CD) macrophages present i) a defect to control Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) infection related to polymorphisms associated with CD; ii) a CD - specific cytokine secretion profile after an AIEC infection and intestinal inflammation dependent; iii) a modification of the response of CD macrophages at a basal state and after the AIEC infection. These results consolidate the hypothesis of a defect specific to CD macrophages. That's why, the primary purpose of this study is to realize a proteomic analysis of macrophages of CD patients infected or not with AIEC and to compare them to Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients and healthy volunteers.
The objectives of Sub-Study 1 are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of risankizumab as induction treatment in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC), and to identify the appropriate induction dose of risankizumab for further evaluation in Sub-Study 2. The objective of Sub-Study 2 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared to placebo in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active UC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of risankizumab in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) in participants who responded to induction treatment with risankizumab in a prior AbbVie study of risankizumab in UC. This study consists of three sub-studies and a Continuous Treatment Extension (CTE): Substudy 1 is a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance study; Substudy 2 is 52-week, randomized, exploratory maintenance study; and Substudy 3 is an open-label long-term extension study for participants who completed Substudy 1 or 2, or participants who responded to induction treatment in Study M16-067 with no final endoscopy due to the Covid-19 pandemic or due to the geopolitical conflict in Ukraine and surrounding impacted regions. The CTE is an open-label extension for Substudy 3 completers to ensure continuous treatment with risankizumab until such time that risankizumab becomes commercially available and/or the subject can access treatment locally or can transition to a Continued Treatment for Trial Participants Open-Label Extension study.
