Filter by:This trial is designed to evaluate the effects of oral antifungal treatment with posaconazole on active Crohn's disease (CD) activity and the burden of Malassezia spp. in CD patients with the caspase recruitment domain family member 9 (CARD9) S12N risk allele. Further, this project will investigate the hypothesis that the microbial changes induced by antifungal treatment are associated with dampened downstream immune responses in those with a genetic predisposition to developing strong immune responses to Malassezia.
The purpose of this study is to explore the microflora characteristics of different ecological loci and multiple metabolic pathways in Crohn's disease patients with different disease course states.
Undetected bowel perforation is a rare but dangerous complication of laparoscopic surgery. If the injury is not detected and treated at the time of the surgical procedure, the patient can suffer severe complications, including septic shock and eventually death. The investigator's goal is to test a novel device that can detect bowel gas leakage from perforation and alert the surgeon during the operation by evaluating the gases present in the insufflated abdomen during surgery. This study will determine the ability of the device to be attached to a standard trocar during the operation and periodically draw small samples or aliquots of gas from the abdomen to evaluate the gas and accurately detect gaseous content from the bowel. Before the device can be used to detect bowel perforations, the investigators must first ensure that it can accurately detect bowel gas in an insufflated abdomen.
IBD consists of either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. The main aim of this study is to describe real-world treatment patterns in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease when treated with vedolizumab. This will include how vedolizumab is given, which can either be an infusion through a vein (intravenous or IV), or an injection just under the skin (subcutaneous injection, or SC).
The study focused on the clinical value of CT in assessing the activity of Crohn's disease.
This study is a randomised open label study, comparing the FIT diet with standard diet in patients with Crohn's disease treated with biologic therapy.
Anal incontinence affects nearly 5% of the adult population in France. It is defined as the inability for a subject to retain matter and/or gas, outside of voluntary defecation episodes. It results in an uncontrolled loss of gas or stool through the anus. To quantify, anal incontinence clinical scores have been developed of which the most used is the Cleveland score (Jorge and Wexner). A Cleveland score ≥ 5 corresponds to anal incontinence. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the entire digestive tract as well as the anus. It leads to destruction of the intestinal wall if not treated early. The presence of ano-perineal involvement is a factor of severity and poor prognosis of Crohn's disease. The management of these ano-perineal lesions is particularly difficult because of the risks of destruction of the anal sphincter and recurrence of these lesions, as well as the consequences that they induce on anal continence, sexuality and quality of life. The prevalence of anal incontinence in Crohn's disease has been assessed in three studies by self-questionnaires. In 2013, it was studied in a cohort of British patients followed for chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Hemorrhagic rectocolitis or Crohn's disease). Of the 3264 patients who responded to this questionnaire (32.5% of the cohort), 74% claimed to have anal incontinence and in 40% of cases it occurred regularly or a few times. In a study of 184 patients treated at an IBD expert center in Sri Lanka, anal incontinence was reported to be 26%. Only 5 patients reported regular anal incontinence. Vollebregt et al specifically studied the prevalence of anal incontinence in patients followed for Crohn's disease in a Dutch expert center. Of the 325 responses (62%), 20% of patients reported having had an episode of anal incontinence in the last 4 weeks. In these studies, the prevalence of anal incontinence varies according to the definition of anal incontinence (qualitative or quantitative estimate) and the population studied. No French study has been published on the prevalence of anal incontinence in Crohn's disease.
In this study, participants with complex fistulizing conditions will be treated with surgical interventions according to their clinic's standard practice. The aim of the study is to generate real-world evidence on standard of care for surgical interventions and related outcomes when treating complex fistulizing conditions. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.
The purpose of this study is to asses the efficacy and Safety of Allogeneic Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Complex Perianal Fistula in Perianal Crohn's Disease.
