Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture or moxibustion therapies are effective in the treatment of active Crohn's disease. meanwhile, we are aim to observe the content of Inflammatory factors and Neurotransmitter before and after acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture or moxibustion therapies are effective in the treatment of Crohn's disease. Meanwhile, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy by functional magnetic resonance imaging.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of abrilumab as measured by the proportion of participants achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) remission (CDAI < 150) after treatment for 8 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine if high doses of vitamin D3 administered orally as adjunct therapy to children with Crohn's disease could improve the outcome of the disease.
Improved methods are needed to monitor patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Telemedicine has shown promise in patients with other chronic diseases; pilot testing in our patients with inflammatory bowel disease demonstrated that the technology was feasible and improved clinical outcomes. The telemedicine system for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Tele-IBD) should improve outcomes for patients, improve access to care in areas with limited resources, and decrease health care costs.
Hypothesis: Fecal Calprotectin will be useful in guiding the diagnosis and management of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Fecal Calprotectin can be utilized as an alternative to colonoscopy in the management of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Objectives: By means of a survey from the ordering physician we would assess: Primary Endpoint 1. The Percentage of time that the Fecal Calprotectin result caused the physician to change the management of a patient. Secondary Endpoints 1. To determine if the Fecal Calprotectin result influenced the number of endoscopies performed 2. To correlate how well the Fecal Calprotectin correlates with Endoscopic findings when endoscopy was performed. 3. To assess the correlation between the Fecal Calprotectin level and symptoms as measured by the Harvey Bradshaw index or the partial Mayo Score (or full Mayo Score depending if endoscopy was performed).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ultrasound-based assessment of intestinal stiffness in patients with Crohn's disease predicts the effectiveness of medical therapy or the need for surgical resection.
Crohn's disease is a disease of complex etiology, multifactorial and still poorly understood. This disease, due to its morbidity and mortality, poses a significant public health problem in France. Apart from the involvement of bacterial factors and those involving the permeability of the epithelial barrier, it is now well recognized that several factors are associated with genetic predisposition in some of these patients. Among these factors, the Nod2 mutations were first identified. Studies concerning the presence of these mutations and the severity of disease results were sometimes conflicting. Very recently, new interesting mutations in genes involved in autophagy were found with greater frequency in patients with Crohn's disease. These mutations observed in Atg16 and IRGM genes. It has been particularly shown on large patient cohorts,the IRGM polymorphism was associated with a progressive disease, with histological severity scores. One of the severity criteria of Crohn's disease is the early recurrence observed in some patients after surgical resection of the injured segment. Predictive factors for such recurrence after surgery are not known or not.
This study investigated the expression of T-cell immunoglobulin- and mucin-domain-containing molecule 3 (TIM-3) in the colonic mucosa and/or the peripheral blood of children with Crohn's disease during anti TNF-α (infliximab) therapy.
In this Phase I trial the investigators intend to show safety and tolerability of autologous MSC, expanded using a non-xenogeneic, human component platelet lysate expansion media. Fresh, non cryopreserved, autologous MSCs will delivered intravenously as a single bolus dose in a dose escalation phase I study. The investigators intend to test whether the product is clinically safe in adults (18-65 years old) with CD and to determine maximal deliverable dose. Secondary endpoint will monitor effectiveness using CDAI as an endpoint.
