Filter by:This is a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group multicenter induction study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and safety of OPS-2071 (150, 300, or 600 mg twice a day [BID]) versus placebo, as add-on therapy in participants with Crohn's disease who show symptoms of active inflammation despite being on ongoing treatment.
This study evaluates the effect of Exclusive Enteral Nutrition (EEN) in addition to different regimes of corticosteroid (CS) therapy (Prednisone) compared to CS alone in adults participants with active Crohn's Disease, on symptoms and inflammation after 6 weeks of treatment. Participants will be randomized to three treatment arms: standard CS, standard CS with EEN, short course CS with EEN. Participants will be assessed through questionnaires for gut symptoms, quality of life, mood changes and dietary patterns and potential mechanisms will be investigated by collecting stool samples for characterization of gut bacterial profiles, collection of blood to determine inflammatory markers and evaluation of gut motility before and after treatment. The investigators hypothesize that six weeks of EEN with CS will be more effective than CS alone in inducing clinical remission in patients with active CD, as well as leading to beneficial changes in the composition and/or metabolic activity of the intestinal microbiota, gastrointestinal transit and inflammatory burden. Furthermore, six weeks of EEN in addition to a short course of CS will have similar efficacy than EEN with standard course of CS and reduced number of adverse events.
This study is a multi-site randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a peer mentoring program for improving the self-management of youth with IBD. The primary outcomes are youth QOL and functioning in typical life activities. Secondary outcomes are disease outcomes, including disease severity and clinical outcomes (hospital admissions, clinic appointments, missed appointments, procedures). Mentor and parent QOL will also be assessed as secondary outcomes. Mechanisms that may contribute to the effects of the Mentoring Program will be investigated: Parent and child self-efficacy, illness uncertainty, coping, social support and child perceived stigma. Sex will be explored as a moderator. A total of 200 youth and their parents and 100 mentors will be enrolled. Eligibility criteria for youth include age 10-17 years, parent and child English fluency, and no documented neurodevelopmental disorder or history of hospitalization for a psychiatric or behavioral disorder. Mentors will be ≥16 years, ≥1 year post-diagnosis of IBD and managing their IBD well. They will be rigorously screened via online application, interview, checks of references, driving records, and social media, background check, and successful completion of a 3-hour training. Youth will be randomly assigned to the Mentoring Program or an "Educational Activity" comparison group, with baseline assessments occurring prior to randomization. Follow-up assessments will occur post-intervention and 6 months later. The Mentoring Program consists of year-long, 1:1 mentee-mentor relationships with group educational activities, online educational information, and a parent support component. Mentors and mentees are expected to have weekly contact (e.g., text, phone), with in-person contact 1 - 2 times per month. Group activities target self-management skills through experiential opportunities, modeling, and direct instruction. Educational topics include nutrition, stress, IBD and school, and disease management, and are taught by experts in each content area. They also provide opportunities to socialize with other mentors and mentees: lunch and games are provided before or after the educational event. The Educational Activity comparison group consists of separate educational group events on the same topics (with no social time), educational information posted online, and monthly encouragement to engage in activities in the community.
The investigators will compare two physician behaviors for managing pain in patients with IBD: proactive vs. reactive. Both the proactive and reactive behavior/strategies are standard of care at the institution in which the study will be performed. The PROACTIVE strategy is an IBD-specific analgesic orderset (built into our EMR and approved by the institution's Pharmacy and Therapeutics committee), the REACTIVE strategy is a traditional "reactive" analgesic prescribing (prescribing medications only when patients have pain). The PROACTIVE IBD-specific analgesic orderset consists of medications which have evidence for use in IBD-related pain. This orderset is an educational guide, it does not force any order. The reactive prescribing habits could contain an array of pain medications depending on what the provider wants to prescribe. Aims: Aim 1: To assess whether there is a difference in pain scores or functional activity among hospitalized patients with IBD between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors. Aim 2: To assess whether there is a difference in inpatient opioid-prescribing between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors. Aim 3: To assess whether there is a difference in health care utilization, including length-of-stay and 30-day readmission, between reactive vs proactive physician behaviors.
This study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of brazikumab versus placebo (Stage I) and versus an active comparator (Stage 2) in participants with moderately to severely active CD and will include assessments of clinical response as demonstrated by improvement of symptoms and colonic mucosal appearance as observed on endoscopy
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability and activity of Nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in cohorts of patients with autoimmune disease. Two cohorts of patients will be enrolled, based on autoimmune disease type. Patients will be screened within 28 days prior to the start of dosing. Eligible patients will be enrolled in either of the two cohorts. Patients will receive treatment every two weeks, in an outpatient setting. One cycle is a 28-day period, with Nivolumab given on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Subjects will be permitted to continue treatment beyond initial RECIST 1.1.
This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of UTTR1147A in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD), enrolling up to 320 participants from the parent studies: Phase Ib Study GA29469 (NCT02749630) and Phase II Study GA39925 (NCT03558152).
A Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TD-1473 in subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's Disease with up to 48 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ontamalimab as maintenance treatment in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD).
