This study will compare the efficacy and safety of TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring)-based infliximab (CT-P13, RemsimaTM) intravenous therapy compared with the standard infliximab (RemsimaTM) intravenous therapy for patients with active perianal fistulzing Crohn's disease.
The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with adalimumab or vedolizumab together with ustekinumab in adults with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, and the effect of treatment with vedolizumab alone, after the dual targeted treatment. The study is conducted in two parts. In Part A, participants will receive the dual targeted treatment (vedolizumab together with either adalimumab or ustekinumab). In part B, participants will receive vedolizumab only. Part B will include participants who responded to the treatment in Part A. Each participant will be followed up for at least 26 weeks after the last dose of treatment.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes a group of chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal system and is composed of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. As an immune-mediated disease, IBD treatment options include the use of biologic medicines including anti-tumor necrosis alpha factor (also called anti-TNFs) medication. Despite biologic medicines being an important part of IBD management, there is inconsistency in the way these medications are used. Implementation of evidence-based, standardized biologic care pathways (BCP) can improve treatment related outcomes. Previous research has shown that using a clinical care pathway, such as a BCP, is a feasible method to support clinical decision making and may improve disease-related outcomes for patients. The researchers propose a prospective study to determine how well a BCP can be incorporated into clinical practice, improve patient health outcomes, and reduce healthcare system redundancies. Also, the impact of a BCP on outcomes for patients treated with the help of a standardized BCP compared to those in patients treated without the use of a BCP will be studied. The results of this study will inform how best to incorporate evidence-based BCPs into real-world practice and support the wide-spread adoption of BCPs in clinical practice.
Crohn's disease (CD) is an incurable chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating moderately to severely active CD in real world. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is a drug approved for the treatment of CD. All study participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Approximately 240 participants will be enrolled in Japan. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 64 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Study visits may be conducted on-site or virtually as per standard of care.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD), constitute a group of debilitating chronic diseases that profoundly impact patient quality of life and incurs large costs in terms of treatment and lost productivity. Incidence of IBD is rising worldwide, and there is a pressing clinical need for development of new therapies. Discovery and development of effective therapies to treat IBDs depend first on a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, including how proinflammatory cells proliferate unchecked. It has been established that the cytokine interleukin (IL)-23 plays a pivotal role in IBD pathophysiology and antibodies targeting IL-23 are currently in late stage development for the treatment of both CD and ulcerative colitis (UC). IL-23 is part of the IL-12 family of cytokines (which includes IL-12, IL-27 and IL-35). The p40 subunit is shared among IL-23 and IL-12; the p19 subunit is unique to IL-23. Thus far, the efficacy of selective anti-IL-23 blockade (via anti-p19 antibodies) appears 5-10% better with respect to clinical and endoscopic outcomes than targeting both IL-23 and IL-12 using anti-p40 antibodies. Understanding the effects of IL-23 (and IL-12) in IBDs requires identification of the most relevant immune cells that respond to these cytokines. One likely cell type controlled by the IL-23 pathway are innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). ILC3s (a subset of ILCs) are dominant in healthy intestinal tissue and capable of producing IL-22 which maintain intestinal epithelial homeostasis. Disturbances in the amounts of IL-22 caused by changes in the stimulatory cytokine IL-23 in tissues, may therefore cause inflammatory responses. IL-23 may facilitate the IL-12-induced shift of ILC3s to ILC1s which are contributing to the disease-causing chronic inflammation. The DIVE 23 project is designed to understand the role of IL-23 in human IBD, in particular CD. It is hypothesized that IL-23R+ cells in the gut, are drivers of chronic inflammation in CD and determine the impact of IL-23 inhibition. To this end the investigators plan to extensively characterize the IL-23-responsive cell populations in inflamed and non-inflamed intestinal tissues of CD patients with postoperative recurrence in order to identify IL-23-responsive immune cell populations that are associated with disease activity. Patients will be treated in routine medical practice with biological agents and will undergo a second ileocolonoscopy 12-16 weeks later to investigate the impact of the different interventions on the mucosal immunology driving CD.
The PLANET Study aims to determine the impact of microplastics on intestinal inflammation and gut microbiome in order to understand the role of this pollutant on the risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as well as other diseases. With this information, the researchers hope to characterize better the role of environmental pollutants on IBD and develop novel strategies towards prevention.
Apart from its use to provide insight in IBS disease courses and in clinical research, ESM can provide patients with feedback about individual triggers of their symptoms, and thereby function as part of a personalized therapeutic strategy. This is also true for IBD-IBS. Treatment strategies in IBS and IBD-IBS are largely based on reassurance, identification and elimination of triggering factors, and in more severe cases pharmaco- and psychotherapy. The ESM approach has the potential to increase therapeutic efficacy in IBS and IBD-IBS and will assist patients in disease self-management. The Traqq application can provide more detailed information about the dietary pattern of IBS and IBD-IBS patients. Traqq in combination with ESM will give an overview of abdominal pain and associated symptoms and psychosocial factors are exposed to during the day. The insight provided using ESM and Traqq may improve patient understanding of their personal symptom dynamics and triggers, as well as the physician's insight into the symptom patters of the specific patients, which may aid treatment choice and eventually improve the outcome of any treatment provided in daily clinical care.
Crohn's Disease (CD) is a gastrointestinal disease that can cause chronic diarrhea with or without gross bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study will assess the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of risankizumab in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active CD aged 2 to < 18 years old who have had intolerance or inadequate response to other therapies. Risankizumab is an approved drug for adults with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and CD and is being developed for the treatment of CD in pediatrics. This study is comprised of 3 cohorts that may participate in 3 substudies (SS). Cohort 1 will enroll participants with ages from 6 to less than 18 years. Cohort 2 will enroll participants with ages from 2 to less than 6 years. Cohort 3 will enroll participants with ages from 2 to less than 18 years. SS1 is an open-label induction period where participants will receive a weight-based induction regimen of risankizumab. SS2 is a double-blind maintenance period where participants will be randomized to receive 1 of 2 doses of weight-based induction regimen of risankizumab. SS3 is an open-label extension period where participants will receive risankizumab based off of their response in SS2. Around 110 pediatric participants with CD will be enrolled at around 100 sites worldwide. Participants in SS1 will receive risankizumab intravenously during the 12-week induction period. Participants in SS2 will receive risankizumab subcutaneously during the 52-week randomized maintenance period. Participants in SS3 will receive risankizumab subcutaneously during the 208-week open label period. Participants will be followed-up for approximately 140 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular 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.
