Filter by:The study prospectively compares two treatment algorithms for newly diagnosed Crohn's disease: one 'aggressive' treatment with early introduction of immunomodulators and biologicals and one 'standard treatment' with corticosteroids and only later introduction of immunosuppressives and biologicals if disease activity requires that.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term clinical, economic and humanistic outcomes of various treatment regimens, including infliximab, in Crohn's disease in real world medical practice.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of long term therapy with Certolizumab Pegol in those subjects participating in study C87085 [NCT00552058].
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of certolizumab pegol in inducing clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease as compared with placebo based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score at Week 6.
Pluricentric randomized study comparing two therapeutic strategies at beginning of Crohn's disease: early immunosuppressants (prescription within the six first months following diagnosis) vs. conventional strategy (immunosuppressants given only in case of steroid failure, in a selected group of patients being at high risk of disabling course. The hypothesis is that immunosuppressants given early may improve the disease course during the 3 following years in this subset of patients.
Protocol 610 is enrolling subjects who successfully achieved clinical benefit (reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of at least 100 points) in Protocol 603. Protocol 610 is evaluating the length of initial effect of PROCHYMAL® adult human mesenchymal stem cells and the ability of these cells to successfully re-induce clinical benefit.
This study aims to determine which of 3 doses of a non-absorbable antibiotic Rifaximin is most effective in treating active moderate Crohn's disease. Rifaximin tablets are already marketed in some European countries and the USA to treat traveller's diarrhoea. A new gastro-resistant form of Rifaximin called Rifaximin-Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) will be used in this study. These tablets dissolve in the stomach,releasing gastro-resistant granules which pass into the intestines and deliver Rifaximin directly to the site of the disease. Rifaximin is not absorbed, making it more effective and greatly reducing the frequency of side effects.
The purpose of this Registry study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of adalimumab in CD subjects who are treated as recommended in the product label.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) genotyping prior to thiopurine use is cost-effective in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in need of immune suppression. The study is designed to test the hypothesis that optimization of initial thiopurine dose based on pre-treatment TPMT genotyping will maximize treatment efficacy and minimize adverse drug reactions (ADRs) resulting in reduced costs.
The study includes individuals with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to examine the innate immune system (IIS) by exposing peripheral blood monocytes to various ligands relevant for stimulation of the IIS and study the immune response. Colonic mucosal samples are examined to find gene expression patterns which may distinguish the two forms of disease from each other and from healthy controls. The hypothesis is that the innate immune system has responses unique for the disease states, and that the diseases may be differentiated by examination of gene expression patterns in mucosal biopsies.
