Filter by:Stenosis is one of the most frequent complications in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). In particular, CD patients with multi segmental intestinal strictures are often faced with short bowel syndrome after repeated or extensive surgical resection. Strictureplasty conserves bowel and minimizes the risk of developing short-bowel syndrome in the short-term and, probably, long-term. Strictureplasty has become an established surgical option in the management of obstructive Crohn's disease, especially for multiple short fibrous strictures. It is particularly suitable for patients at risk for short-bowel syndrome. Endoscopic management shows good efficacy and safety in the treatment of strictures in CD patients. The ECCO guideline recommended that endoscopic balloon dilatation is suitable to treat short [<5 cm] strictures of the terminal ileum in CD. Recently, Lan et al. reported that endoscopic stricturotomy appeared to be more effective in treating CD patients with anastomotic stricture than endoscopic balloon dilatation. However, there is no scientific evidence for determining the most appropriate treatment for multiple fibrosis stenosis. We designed a prospective randomized comparative study of the treatment of multisegmental fibrostenosing Crohn's disease (surgical resection plus endoscopic stricturotomy versus surgical resection plus strictureplasty).
Given the bidirectionality between psychological distress and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereby increased psychological distress exacerbates disease activity and vice versa, psychosocial aspects of IBD care are receiving increased attention. However, proposed interventions are generally resource-intensive and have been tested in majority white populations. While people of color are an increasing segment of the IBD population, they are currently underrepresented in research studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among IBD patients of color with elevated psychological distress.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, incurable condition associated with inflammation in the gut lining. It causes diarrhoea, severe abdominal pain, poor nutrition and adversely affects the quality of life of sufferers. Two of the best treatments currently used in people with CD are drug injections and/or infusions (biologics), and a liquid-only diet using specialised milkshakes. However, treatment with biologics is only successful in approximately 40% of the patients, and although treatment with the liquid-only diet has a better safety and effectiveness profile, it is difficult for patients to stick to this as their sole source of nutrition for 6-8 weeks, particularly for adults. BIOPIC study aims to investigate whether replacing half of a habitual diet with specialised milkshakes will improve response to standard treatment with biologics in adults with CD.
The purpose of this study is to assess effectiveness of vedolizumab versus ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease and vedolizumab versus tofacitinib in patients with ulcerative colitis, after non-response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) medications, using data from two existing cohorts.
A Phase II study to assess the safety and efficacy of AVB-114 in treatment of complex Crohn's perianal fistulas in subjects with quiescent rectal disease and whose fistula has failed to respond to biologic or conventional therapy. Combined remission of treated perianal fistula in the investigational treatment arm will be compared to a standard of care control arm. The study has 2 parts: Part 1: All required study visits for subjects who initially receive study treatment and those who receive standard of care therapy (control arm). Part 2: Subjects who are enrolled in the control arm may receive treatment with AVB-114 following week 36. Those subjects then will be followed as specified in the clinical protocol.
The objective of this registry is to compare outcomes of risankizumab-exposed pregnancies with those of pregnancies that were not exposed to risankizumab among women with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Crohn's disease (CD), or other conditions for which risankizumab is an FDA-approved treatment. The registry is designed to estimate the association between risankizumab and maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes by comparing the prevalence rates of these outcomes in the exposed and unexposed populations. Approximately 818 female participants with pregnancy will be enrolled (409 participants exposed to risankizumab and 409 without exposure) at multiple sites across the United States. Participants will not receive risankizumab as part of this study. Maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy for female participants who received risankizumab or other treatment will be followed for and up to 1 year after delivery There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will attend visits determined by HCPs during the study at a hospital or clinic. The pregnancy outcomes including side effects will be collected during routine clinical care.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of mirikizumab in pediatric participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will last about 172 weeks and may include up to 44 visits.
Natural Language Processing and machine learning are examples of artificial intelligence tools. This study will check if these tools correctly identify people with Crohn's disease with complex perianal fistulas from their medical records.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if the probiotic Bifidobacterium breve Bif195 (Bif195) will result in improvement in clinical outcome in patients with small intestinal Crohn's disease.
The OPTIMIZE Trial compares whether iDose dashboard-driven infliximab dosing (iDose-driven dosing) is more effective and safer than standard infliximab dosing for inducing and maintaining disease remission in inflammatory bowel disease.
