This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.
The main aim is to see if TAK-018 reduces the recurrence of intestinal inflammation after abdominal resection surgery in adults with Crohn's disease. Participants will take either TAK-018 or placebo tablets by mouth, 2 times each day for up to 26 weeks after surgery. The placebo looks like TAK-018 but will not have any medicine in it. Participants will have 6 study visits while receiving treatment. Visits 1 and 6 will be conducted at the study clinic. The others can be in the clinic or at the participant's home. Follow-up will occur 4 weeks after final treatment.
The purpose of post-marketing surveillance (PMS) is to assess the safety and effectiveness of ustekinumab (Stelara) for Crohn's disease participants under real world clinical practice.
The goal of the study is to assess the impact of treatment with dietary supplement containing Saccharomyces boulardii (used as an addition to standard therapy), on quality of life of patients with mild forms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, as well as those in remission fulfilling criteria for irritable bowel syndrome. Patients included will be randomly assigned in two groups and subsequently administered with formulation containing Saccharomyces boulardii or placebo for 4 weeks. Patient's quality of life will be assessed by questionnaire at the enrolment and 4 weeks after initiating the therapy.
This case control study aims to determine whether spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is associated with autoimmune diseases and to update the incidence of SCAD in a population-based cohort.
The aim of this study is to evaluate if an intraoperative protocol for Ultrasound scan (USS) is feasible and safe in patients undergoing elective surgery for ileocolic CD. The results of this study could guide the development of a larger randomised trial.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relatively common disease that effects all age groups and carries significant morbidity and mortality. The initial treatment typically involves both short and long term medication, however when this is not enough to adequately control the disease, surgery is often required. The high morbidity and mortality rates are in part due to the increased rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which have been shown to develop more frequently in IBD patients compared to the general population. Undergoing abdominal surgery has also been shown to independently increase rates of DVT and PE and since the majority of patients with IBD will undergo surgery at least once in their lifetime, the relative increased risk of developing a VTE is very high. The majority of DVT and PE events in the postoperative IBD population will occur after discharge from hospital and therefore carries significant morbidity and mortality risk in a unmonitored setting. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits and safety of twice daily dosing of oral extended VTE prophylaxis agents in orthopedic and cancer postoperative patients following discharge from hospital. There have been no randomized studies which have evaluated the use of extended postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients. The purpose of this randomized placebo controlled pilot trial will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients following abdominal surgery. If this pilot trial demonstrates efficacy in reducing postoperative DVT and PE rates, safety and feasibility, clinicians will be armed with the knowledge to pursue a larger multicenter randomized trial with the intent of reducing overall morbidity and mortality in this high risk population.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug mirikizumab is safe and effective in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation, relapse rate and treatment response. Insufficient control of mucosal inflammation results in irreversible bowel damage and complications and at present no markers are available to predict such a complicated disease course at diagnosis. Therefore, to prevent overtreatment of low risk patients, step-up treatment with subsequent introduction of corticosteroids, thiopurines maintenance and TNF-blockers if a previous category fails is standard care. Combination treatment with thiopurines and a TNF-blocker is more effective than monotherapy but associated with a higher risk for infectious complications. Landmark studies convincingly showed an improved long-term outcome if the TNF-blocker infliximab is introduced early after diagnosis. The standard step-care approach thus prolongs steroid exposure and delays start of disease modifying biologicals in high risks patients. Given the higher efficacy of combination therapy with a thiopurine of infliximab and potential allergic reactions and lower response rates after re-initiation of this chimeric biological, temporary monotherapy with this TNF-blocker has not been studied as first line treatment before. Adalimumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody and subsequently, combination therapy of adalimumab + thiopurines has only a marginal effect on anti-drug anti-body formation. Furthermore, combination therapy with adalimumab does not enhance the clinical response. Therefore, periodic treatment with adalimumab in combination with close monitoring after drug-discontinuation, in newly diagnosed CD might improve outcome, reduce drug-related side effects while still preventing overtreatment. The aim of this study is to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of periodic adalimumab as initial treatment in newly diagnosed CD patients compared to standard step-care with corticosteroid/budesonide as the initial treatment
