Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of vedolizumab subcutaneous (vedolizumab SC) as maintenance treatment in participants with moderately to severely active CD who achieved clinical response following administration of vedolizumab intravenous (vedolizumab IV) induction therapy.
The investigators are doing this research study to answer questions about a nutritional therapy called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) for children with active Crohn's Disease (CD). The SCDiet is a diet where all grains such as wheat, barley, corn, rice are restricted. Most dairy products (except certain yogurt) are also restricted. The diet mainly consists of meat, fruits, vegetables, nuts, oils and honey, and is offered to individuals with active Crohn's disease as part of standard of care at Seattle Children's. For this study, the investigators will have three different dietary groups: 1. Traditional SCD diet group 2. Modified SCD to include oatmeal and rice 3. SCD with whole foods without added sugar Specifically, the investigators want to know: - Is the SCD well tolerated? - Is SCD effective for the treatment for active Crohn's Disease? - Will the results from the varied three dietary groups have the same results for each patient?
Individuate possible predictive factors of anti-TNFalfa-induced deep remission in Crohn's disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of vedolizumab in breast milk of lactating women with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who are receiving vedolizumab therapeutically.
The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion for Crohn's disease and the regulation mechanism of intestinal microbiota and peripheral immunity.
This study has the objective to demonstrate that an education program could have a significant impact on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patient's skills with regards to their disease.
The primary objective is to evaluate digestive damage in CD 5 to 10 years after diagnosis in the GETAID centers included in the RAPID study. Secondary objective is to identify predictive factors of the evolution digestive damage.
This trial will test, in a representative group of IBD patients, the acceptability of - and adherence to - the IBDoc test (a new home test for faecal calprotectin in the monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)).
This is a post-marketing observational study of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (specifically, Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis) who have been prescribed CT-P13 (infliximab) or Remicade (infliximab) for treatment. CT-P13 (brand names Inflectra and Remsima) is a biosimilar medicine to Remicade, meaning it is a biologic medicine that contains the same active substance as Remicade (infliximab). The key study objectives are as follows: - To characterize the population and drug utilization patterns of patients treated with CT-P13 for Crohn's Disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in the context of standard of care Remicade - To explore the long-term safety profile of CT-P13 in the treatment of patients with CD or UC in the context of standard of care Remicade - To assess the effectiveness of CT-P13 in the treatment of patients with CD or UC in the context of standard of care Remicade
Postoperative pain can pose significant challenges in the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing major colorectal surgery. Traditionally, opioids have played an important role in treating postoperative pain. It is well established that opioids are highly effective in relieving pain; however opioids are associated with numerous side effects that include nausea, vomiting, constipation, ileus, bladder dysfunction, respiratory depression, pruritus, drowsiness, sedation, and allergic reaction. These opioid side effects, which range in severity, can significantly interfere with discharge home following colorectal surgery. Significant interest exists in the use of local anesthetic based regional anesthesia techniques as a means to extend the analgesic window for patients undergoing colorectal surgery. Specifically, the use of the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block as an adjunct in postoperative pain control has been widely reported in the anesthesia and colorectal surgery literature. Historically, the block was performed in a blind fashion with relative success and presently the block is typically performed either with ultrasound guidance or laparoscopic visualization. While TAP block has shown to be effective in post-operative pain control, the techniques used to place the block have not formally been compared. The investigators are purposing a prospective, patient-blinded, randomized study of patients undergoing major colorectal surgery to compare TAP block under ultrasound guidance versus laparoscopic visualization versus no TAP block. The investigators hypothesize that laparoscopic-guided TAP block is non-inferior to ultrasound-guided TAP block with respect to perioperative pain control and either technique is superior to no TAP. In addition the investigators will measure procedural time, any adverse events related to the block, overall postoperative analgesic requirement, analgesic duration, postoperative pain scores, length of postoperative hospital stay, incidence of postoperative ileus, and overall patient satisfaction between the three groups.
