Filter by:Background: - Up to 30% of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease have decreased bone strength, or decrease bone density, called osteopenia. - Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that have been well studied and found to be effective in the treatment of osteopenia in menopausal women. - Zoledronate is a very potent third generation bisphosphonate, that is safe and easy to administer, and has been found effective in the treatment of menopausal women with osteopenia. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that zoledronate can improve bone density in children and adolescents with Crohn's disease with osteopenia.
Subjects must be 18- 75 years old and have a history of both inflammatory bowels disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) and pyoderma gangrenosum. This is a 6 month open label study of an intravenous (IV) medication. Visits occur every 2 weeks initially, then every 1-2 months later in the study.
The purpose of this multicenter, open-label study is to collect data on the occurrence of important clinical safety events resulting from chronic vedolizumab (MLN0002) administration.
The purpose of this study for children with a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease is to identify biomarkers found in the blood or stool to help predict which children are at risk of developing complications.
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vedolizumab induction treatment on clinical response and remission at 6 weeks and to determine the effect of vedolizumab maintenance treatment on clinical remission at 52 weeks.
The project is based on adult and paediatric cohorts among the largest ones in Paris and located at Saint Louis and Robert Debré hospitals. Experiments will be performed at INSERM Unit U843 in collaboration with the department of immunology and statistics, Robert Debré Hospital.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Tmax and AUC) of the new delayed release, lowered dose, 40 mg 6MP test formulation as compared to standard 6MP (100 mg Purinethol) in 12 patients with Crohn's Disease. The study is being undertaken to prove that the new test formulation is indeed delayed-release and targeted to the ileum, and that the levels of 6MP in the blood following local absorption are lower than that seen following standard Purinethol dosing. This should result in lower, safer mercaptopurine dosing, allowing for uninterrupted treatment with fewer side effects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood levels of Metronidazole after application to the peri anal area after a single dose and 6 or 7 days application.
A medical research study in adult patients who have moderate to severe Crohn's disease designed to determine whether or not treatment with an experimental drug called ustekinumab (or CNTO1275) is safe or not and to determine if the treatment will reduce the symptoms of Crohn's disease.
This research will examine the impact of brain activity, cognitive processing immune functioning, and gastrointestinal functioning on depressive symptoms and response to a psychotherapeutic intervention in youths with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
