Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab in healing of all layers of the digestive tract (transmural healing) with the help of a score called Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) based on a scan at Week 48.
At enrollment, after informed consent form will be discussed and signed, subjects will undergo complete disease assessment. In this study, 150 adult subjects with IBD will be enrolled at the Gastroenterology Department of the San Raffaele Hospital (50 patients with Crohn's disease, 50 with Ulcerative colitis not undergoing proctocolectomy, and 50 with Ulcerative colitis undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis). All the patients will perform routine investigations with Ileocolonoscopy (IC), according to the current standard of care indications and ECCO guidelines, and they will be assessed by both Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) and Trans-perineal ultrasound (TPUS). Blood and stool samples will be obtained for fecal calprotectin (FC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements, respectively, as normal clinical practice. All the procedures of this study are performed routinely in clinical practice. All the procedures are performed in a single day-visit for the patient.
The main aim of this study is to learn about medical problems (adverse events) if vedolizumab subcutaneously (SC) is given to a child or teenager with UC or CD for a long time. Other aims are to understand if the long time use of vedolizumab SC has an impact on the time period until hospital visits because of bowel swelling (inflammation) are needed and has an impact on the quality of life of children and teenagers who received vedolizumab SC. In this study, participants who responded well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study (VedolizumabSC-3003 [NCT06100289]) will continue to be treated with vedolizumab SC. Participants who did not respond well to the treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study or who received corticosteroids in the last 4 weeks of the parent study will not receive vedolizumab SC in this study but will be followed for up to 2 years after the last treatment with vedolizumab SC in the parent study. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
By conducting a randomized controlled study of the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the induction of remission in moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease, we will evaluate to investigate the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the induction and remission phases of moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease; to assess patient adherence to enteral nutrition biscuits and the timing of their application; to assess the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in biologically refractory patients; and to assess the role of enteral nutrition biscuits in the remission of perianal, small bowel, and colonic lesions.
The research group have previously evaluated the benefit of serial consecutive capsule endoscopy as monitoring tool for Crohn's disease in remission, demonstrating its superior accuracy for disclosing inflammation and for prediction of flares in comparison to other diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance enterography and inflammatory biomarkers. Subsequently, deep learning algorithms had developed to provide excellent accuracy for identification and grading of ulcers and intestinal strictures on capsule endoscopy still images. The investigators will advance this knowledge using a parallel two-parts approach.
This clinical trial aims to understand the feasibility of patients taking ketone body supplement beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) for 4 weeks with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease and starting new therapy for active disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - BHB supplementation will be feasible and acceptable to patients. - BHB supplementation will be associated with a reduction in systemic inflammation. - BHB supplementation will be associated with a reduction in pro-inflammatory bacterial colonies. Participants will: - Take 3 capsules x 3 times per day for 4 weeks. - Document food consumption using a 24-hour food recall questionnaire. - Provide blood and fecal samples twice, at the beginning of the study and the 4-week mark. Researchers will compare the group taking the ketone body supplement and the group not taking the supplement to see if the supplement provides relief of symptoms suffered from Crohn's disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most often affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. This study will assess how safe and effective oral Upadacitinib is in treating moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease in pediatric participants aged 2 to 18 years old who have had inadequate response, loss of response, intolerance, or medical contraindications to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and/or biologic therapy. Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is a drug approved in adults for moderate- to severely active CD and is being developed for moderate- to severely active CD in pediatric participants. This study is conducted in 2 periods: Period 1 is comprised of two phases: a 12-week open-label induction phase which means that the study doctor and participants know that participants will receive UPA Dose-A (or the adult equivalent based on body weight) followed by a 52-week double-blind maintenance phase meaning that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know which dose of upadacitinib will be given(UPA Dose B or Dose C). Period 2 is a 156-week open-label extension of Period 1. Approximately 110 pediatric participants with moderate to severely active CD will be enrolled at approximately 92 sites worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Participants will have a safety follow up for 30 days after discontinuation from any time point within the study. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular (weekly, monthly) visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Aim of the study: To evaluate risk factors of endoscopic relapse after ileocolic resection in a cohort of Crohn's disease patients treated with anti-TNF agents. Methods: From 2014 to 2022, all consecutive patients who underwent ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease treated with anti-TNF agents in two referral tertiary center were prospectively collected. Considering exclusion criteria, data from 114 patients were analyzed. The cohort was separated into 2 groups according to study period. Short and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups. Primary outcome: Endoscopic recurrence (defined as > i2 lesions according to Rutgeerts classification) 6 months after surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of fluconazole in patients who plan to or are undergoing standard of care treatment with an IL-23 therapy for their Crohn's disease. The main question it aims to assess is will patient response to IL-23 therapies improve when simultaneously treated with fluconazole.
The primary aim of this study is to explore the time course of response to Vedolizumab in participants with CD as measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference-short form (SF), as well as other PROMIS domain SFs (fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, physical function, and ability to participate in social roles and activities); other PRO measures will also be assessed.
