Filter by:The main aim of this study is to learn about medical problems (adverse events) if vedolizumab subcutaneously (SC) is given to a child or teenager with UC or CD for a long time. Other aims are to understand if the long time use of vedolizumab SC has an impact on the time period until hospital visits because of bowel swelling (inflammation) are needed and has an impact on the quality of life of children and teenagers who received vedolizumab SC. In this study, participants who responded well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study (VedolizumabSC-3003 [NCT06100289]) will continue to be treated with vedolizumab SC. Participants who did not respond well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study or who received corticosteroids in the last 4 weeks of the parent study will not receive vedolizumab SC in this study but will be followed for up to 2 years after the last treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
To study the role of intraoperative ultrasound of small bowel as a possible tool that can reduce the rate of histologically involved resection margins from Crohn's Disease.
By conducting a randomized controlled study of the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the induction of remission in moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease, we will evaluate to investigate the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the induction and remission phases of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease; to assess patient adherence to enteral nutrition biscuits and the timing of their application; to assess the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in biologically refractory patients; and to assess the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the remission of perianal, small bowel, and colonic lesions.
In this study, children and adolescents with active Crohn's disease are placed in two intervention groups, the first group receives only an exclusion diet and the second group receives an exclusion diet plus formula.
Routine follow-up of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) under stable doses of maintenance therapy or no IBD-related therapy at all, consists of intensive monitoring with prescheduled outpatient visits every six or twelve months. However, many of these patients do not require additional interventions from the IBD specialist during these visits. In addition, patients in long-term remission, often request a less frequent follow-up in the hospital and in consequence a less frequent absence from school or work. In conclusion, these routinely follow-up visits might put unnecessary burden on both healthcare providers and IBD patients, as well as on healthcare resources. Until now, no clear standard was set for how to organize a remote monitoring programme that is feasible and safe in a large patient population. Despite the possible added value of remote monitoring for IBD patients on stable or no therapy and who are in remission, they are seldomly the targeted population in clinical trials analysing the effects of remote monitoring in IBD. Secondly, a significant reduction in outpatient clinic visits, is often not actively included in the programme, but more an outcome result. Finally, to compose a safe remote monitoring programme, subjective and objective parameters of disease activity should be collected. With the ROADMAP study, the main objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of remote monitoring in IBD patients that are stable on their current therapy or receive no IBD-related therapy. Secondly, a health economic evaluation will be conducted. Patients will be randomised to either the remote monitoring group or control group. The remote monitoring group will visit the outpatient clinic after two years. During this two-year period, patients will be monitored remotely via three-monthly questionnaires (PRO-2, IBD disk, WPAI, EQ-5D-5L) and faecal calprotectin measures. An IBD nurse will evaluate all incoming data and act in case of red flags.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective oral Upadacitinib is in treating moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease in pediatric participants aged 2 to 18 years old who have had inadequate response, loss of response, intolerance, or medical contraindications to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and/or biologic therapy. Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is a drug approved in adults for moderate- to severely active CD and is being developed for moderate- to severely active CD in pediatric participants. This study is conducted in 2 periods: Period 1 is comprised of two phases: a 12-week open-label induction phase which means that the study doctor and participants know that participants will receive UPA Dose-A (or the adult equivalent based on body weight) followed by a 52-week double-blind maintenance phase meaning that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know which dose of upadacitinib will be given(UPA Dose B or Dose C). Period 2 is a 156-week open-label extension of Period 1. Approximately 110 pediatric participants with moderate to severely active CD will be enrolled at approximately 92 sites worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Participants will have a safety follow up for 30 days after discontinuation from any time point within the study. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular (weekly, monthly) visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
The EXCEED project aims to study the role of the mesentery in disease recurrence in Crohn's disease (CD), as evidence suggests that including the mesentery when doing ileocecal resections can significantly reduce recurrence rates. The EXCEED study is a blinded randomised clinical trial with 204 participants having ileocecal Crohn's disease requiring resection. Participants will undergo either "standard" mesocolic sparing resection or extended mesocolic resection to assess its impact on reducing recurrence at the anastomotic site. The primary endpoint is endoscopic recurrence 12 months postoperatively. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the efficacy of different surveillance modalities in detecting anastomotic site recurrence. These examinations will be conducted pre- and postoperatively for a cohort of 20 participants. Through this study, we seek to understand the mesentery's role in Crohn's disease recurrence and identify effective non-invasive methods for postoperative monitoring.
This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.
To determine whether a specific food-origin plant-derived resistant starch (RS) optimized for the individual will increase the abundance of known butyrate producing microbes.
The purpose of this study is to compare how effective and how tolerable two different bowel preparation laxatives are for colonoscopy. The aim is to compare oral sulfate solution (OSS) to another laxative called 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution to see which is more effective and more tolerable by individuals with IBD (Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis).
