Filter by:This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, induction and maintenance study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVT-3101 in adult participants with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.
The research group have previously evaluated the benefit of serial consecutive capsule endoscopy as monitoring tool for Crohn's disease in remission, demonstrating its superior accuracy for disclosing inflammation and for prediction of flares in comparison to other diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance enterography and inflammatory biomarkers. Subsequently, deep learning algorithms had developed to provide excellent accuracy for identification and grading of ulcers and intestinal strictures on capsule endoscopy still images. The investigators will advance this knowledge using a parallel two-parts approach.
Crohn's disease (CD), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the intestine, is characterised by a relapsing course. In 25% of cases, the onset of this disease occurs in childhood. Relevant studies have provided evidence of a key role of gut microbial communities (the microbiota) in triggering or maintaining active gut inflammation, pointing to gut dysbiosis as the main event disrupting the balance of microbial communities Recent evidence suggests that, in addition to the bacterial component, the commensal fungal component also plays a crucial role in CD. The purpose of this prospective, longitudinal, study is to characterise the composition of intestinal bacterial and fungal communities in patients 6-18 years newly diagnosed with Crohn Disease in order to identify a possible association of specific faecal microbial profiles with a severe or mild-to-moderate disease course.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the treatment with subcutaneous infliximab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that were previously treated with an optimized dose of intravenous infliximab. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is switching to a weekly dose of subcutaneous infliximab (120 mg) associated with a better outcome compared to the standard fortnightly administration of 120 mg subcutaneous infliximab in patients who received an optimized intravenous dosing schedule? Participants will switch from intravenous infliximab to subcutaneous infliximab and will be randomized to the intervention arm (Subcutaneous infliximab weekly) or the interventional comparison arm (subcutaneous infliximab bi-weekly). Participants will follow daily clinical practice in the monitoring for clinical and biological remission. The participants that are willing to switch to subcutaneous infliximab will be compared to a group of participants not willing to switch. These participants will continue to be treated with their optimized intravenous dose of infliximab.
Stenosis is one of the most frequent complications in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), causing greater morbidity and increasing the probability of repeated surgery and short bowel syndrome. Several endoscopic techniques, as an alternative to surgery, have been used in the treatment of fibrostenotic CD, with similar efficacy and lower risk of complications. The ProtDilat study (NCT02395354) showed that both endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are efficient and safe for the treatment of stenosis in CD, while EBD shows therapeutic superiority (80.5 vs 51.3 %) at one year follow-up. However, this difference was not observed in the subanalysis of patients with stenosis > 3 cm (EBD: 66.7% vs SEMS: 63.6%) but with a lower cost for EBD (EDB 1,365.63 euros versus SEMS 1,923.55 euros). Therefore, SEMS could be a suitable treatment option for longer stenoses in which EBD has proven to be less efficacious. Moreover, the long-term efficacy of both endoscopic treatments is still debated with scare information and without data from a clinical trial. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy of EBD and SEMS, through the follow-up of the patients included in the ProtDilat study, being the primary objective of the study the percentage of patients free of surgical intervention at the end of follow-up. Retrospective study based on data from the ProtDilat trial (patients with CD, obstructive symptoms, with stenosis < 10cm). Data on medical, endoscopic and surgical treatment and smoking habits are collected.
M-TECCU is a study: multicenter, randomized and open. It consists of two parallel groups to compare the efficacy of the TECCU web-based telemonitoring system to achieve and maintain activity remission in patients with moderate-high complexity inflammatory bowel disease compared to usual clinical practice.
The precise and noninvasive evaluation of disease activity among patients with Crohn's disease is not easy, especially for children. It deals with clinical, biological, histological and radiological parameters. Bowel sounds (BS) when evaluated by a stethoscope are modified by several factors including surgery, infection, drugs or intestinal inflammation. These factors can interact on intestinal motricity. There is a direct relationship between gastrointestinal motility and characteristics of BW. The study of BS using a stethoscope is a simple method, although operator dependent and subjective,with a wide inter and intraindividual variability. Some studies among adults showed interest in the spectral analysis of BS to assess gastrointestinal motility. This more precise and reproducible method is not operator dependent. To date, no such study has evaluated the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS. of this project is to assess the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS in pediatric Crohn's disease.
This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, induction and maintenance study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVT-3101 in adult participants with moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease is a inflammatory bowel disease evolving towards the destruction of the intestinal wall resulting in stenosing or perforating complications (fistulas, abscesses). The treatment of perforating Crohn's disease is not codified.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VTX958 in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.
