Filter by:The Prediction of Anastomotic Insufficiency risk after Colorectal surgery (PANIC) study aims to establish a machine-learning-based application that allows for accurate preoperative prediction of patients at risk for anastomotic insufficiency after colon and colorectal surgery.
The purpose of the study is to understand the diet patterns, preferences, and impact of diet on daily living in our patients with IBD in Central Texas.
The clinical investigation aims to generate clinical data to support the use of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) in clinical practice, its inclusion in diagnostic guidelines and to support its reimbursement, specifically to - Further validate the application with respect to including ulcerative colitis patients - Prepare a study protocol for large-scale clinical validation study in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) - Successfully execute the clinical validation study
This is a prospective, descriptive, observational research study designed to observe and document the clinical practice by domain experts, and how the knowledge of new findings that are published in the medical literature affect clinical decision making. The study will evaluate risk factors and co-variants, including genetic variants that are associated with disease progression such as pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, disability and quality of life.
Inflammatory bowel disease ((IBD), which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)), is a chronic, immune-mediated disease characterized by recurrent episodes of relapse. The incidence of IBD is increasing worldwide and poses as a burden that reduces quality of life and has a significant impact on health care resources. The advent of monoclonal antibodies to tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF) has revolutionized treatment of IBD, improving rates of remission and reducing hospitalizations and surgeries. Nevertheless, many patients do not adequately respond to these therapies or lose response over time. Thus, there is an important need for novel immunomodulating agents to improve our ability to achieve remission. Besides its traditional role in bone homeostasis, several studies have recognized the important role Vitamin D plays in modulating the immune response, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Specifically, Vitamin D may mediate immunity by modulating autophagy in leukocytes and regulating the gut microbiome. Thus, Vitamin D may play an important role in IBD. Furthermore, evidence suggests that the effect of vitamin D may be mediated through the TNF-α pathway, suggesting a synergy with anti-TNF therapy. This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial to study the effect of Vitamin D3 as an adjunct therapy for patients with active CD, UC, or IBD unspecified who are undergoing anti-TNF induction therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effects of an intravenous (IV) induction and subcutaneous (SC) maintenance administration of ustekinumab on the pharmacokinetic (PK) of a cocktail of representative probe substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2) in participants with Active Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
