Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the investigators can treat insomnia in people with Crohn's disease, and if insomnia treatment can make other things better, like pain or inflammation.
EMBODY (Effects of a Mindfulness Based interventiOn on ibD disabilitY) aims to evaluate the effects of a mindfulness based intervention on a broad number of disease related disability dimensions in patients with Crohn's disease (abdominal pain, regulation defecation, joint pain, energy, emotions, body image, interpersonal interactions, education and work, sexual function, sleep). Besides, the investigators will measure the effect of the intervention on depression, anxiety, stress, disease acceptance and perceived control as well as (biomarkers of) disease activity. It will be a prospective, randomized-controlled, monocentric, superiority trial using a waiting list with treatment as usual as control arm. Half of the patients will immediately start the mindfulness based intervention (early intervention group). In the other half, there will be a waiting time of 6 months before starting the mindfulness based intervention (late intervention or control group). Clinical disease activity (two-item patient reported outcome (PRO2)), faecal calprotectin and C-reactive protein (CRP) will be collected throughout the trial (pre-, during and post-intervention). The investigators will measure IBD-related disability through the IBD-Disk, a tool for assessing the impact of the disease on ten different dimensions of everyday life dimensions. Depression, anxiety and Stress will be investigated via the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale Short Form (DASS21). Disease acceptance and perceived control will be measured using the Subjective Health Experience (SHE) model. Evolution of the different variables will be compared between both groups (ANOVA).
This is a Phase IIa (proof of concept), single center clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of daily MBF-118 oral treatment during 28 days in Crohn's disease patients on top of standard of care.
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. Speed of onset and durability of effectiveness 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 1200 participants will be enrolled in approximately 230 sites across the world. 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 3 years. 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.
There are currently three classes of biologic treatments approved in Canada for the management of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease: anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF] alpha, anti-integrin, and anti-interleukin [IL]-23 targeted agents. The purpose of this trial is to determine which of these three classes of biologics results in the highest percentage of patients with small bowel (ileal) Crohn's disease entering into endoscopic remission without needing corticosteroids at 1 year. Endoscopic remission means that the ulcers in the small bowel from Crohn's disease have healed. All treatments in this trial are approved by Health Canada. No experimental drugs will be included.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and endoscopic efficacy of guselkumab in pediatric participants with Crohn's Disease (CD) at the end of maintenance therapy (Week 52) among participants who were in clinical response to guselkumab at Week 12.
The purpose of the Phase IV study is to investigate the effects of both Volume and Citrate on Injection Site Pain (ISP), adherence, patient satisfaction, Quality of Life, and Disease Assessment in the Canadian Adalimumab Market. The phase IV study is an observational, pan-Canadian, multidisciplinary study aiming to enroll 600 patients across 50-70 sites across 3 different Therapeutic Areas (GI, Rheum, Derm).
