Filter by:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Crohn's disease (CD) is an incurable chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for treating Atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD). Approximately 600 adult participants who are prescribed Upadacitinib by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in Korea. Upadacitinib will be administered in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization, and treatment of participants will be determined solely by the investigator. Participants in the study will be followed for up to 52 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The primary hypotheses for Study 1 and Study 2 are that tulisokibart is superior to placebo in achieving the coprimary outcome measures of clinical remission by either Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI, primary endpoint recommended by United States Food and Drug Administration [US/FDA]) or stool frequency and abdominal pain score (primary endpoint recommended by European Union European Medicines Agency [EU/EMA]) and endoscopic response.
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.
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.
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.
Crohn's disease (CD) belongs to chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affecting over 2 million individuals in the North America and 3.2 million in Europe with an increasing incidence rate in newly industrialized countries experiencing a westernization of lifestyle (1). This highly disabling disease affects patients' life in several ways with severe complications requiring surgery for half of them and is responsible for considerable economic burdens (2,3). Decades of research displayed that CD pathogenesis is determined by inappropriate immune responses towards luminal microbiota in genetically susceptible hosts. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified autophagy as one of the main pathways associated with susceptibility to CD (4-6). Autophagy is a dynamic process of the lysosomal catabolism, called autophagy flux, which is crucial to degrade and recycle obsolete and deleterious cytosolic components of the cell (7). Autophagy is also the main cell-autonomous process to fight intracellular microorganisms by degrading them, and by contributing to antimicrobial host immune responses. However, the functional consequences of polymorphisms affecting autophagy-associated genes on the dynamic process of autophagy and its real impact on CD pathogenesis remain largely unknown. In addition, CD is associated with a gut microbiota dysbiosis, as exemplified by the higher prevalence of AIEC (a bacterium eliminated by autophagy) in ileal mucosa of CD patients (8-10). Hence, autophagy defect, linked to autophagy SNPs, could contribute to CD-related dysbiosis and to CD activity and severity. Beyond, CD-associated abnormalities of the autophagy flux may affect the composition of the autophagic cargoes, as well as the one of other vesicular pathway, such as exosomes, known to influence autophagy. These impairments could affect at longer term both cell activities and immune responses, especially in antigen presenting cells, which drive host immune responses. The TOPIC project concerns translational research, in which we plan to generate a prospective cohort of CD patients giving up the unique opportunity to collect clinical data, to analyse simultaneously the autophagy flux, genetic variants of interest (from blood samples) and intestinal microbiota (from intestinal samples) and allowing to perform more fundamental studies. The results of the fundamental part will allow a better understanding of the pathophysiology of CD, and ultimately better management of these patients.
The main aim of this study is to learn whether vedolizumab and upadacitinib given together (also called dual targeted therapy or DTT) reduces bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to vedolizumab only (also called monotherapy) in adults with moderately or severely active Crohn's Disease (CD) after 12 weeks of treatment. Other aims are to learn how safe and effective DTT is compared to monotherapy for these participants. All participants will receive DTT (either vedolizumab and upadacitinib or vedolizumab and placebo) for 12 weeks. Participants responding to the treatment will then receive vedolizumab only (monotherapy) for an additional 40 weeks. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 15 times.
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-term inflammatory condition of the digestive system. People with CD often have unpredictable and debilitating symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fatigue. In addition, they require long-term treatment with frequent negative effects and often need surgery and hospitalisations. Therefore, people with CD report a lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) compared with other people. Doctors are constantly trying to find new treatments to improve HRQOL and control symptoms and whole body vibration exercise could be a potential treatment. Exercise might be a simple, safe, and low-cost intervention for improving HRQOL in people with CD. This is because it has the potential to improve several aspects of physical, mental and social well-being simultaneously. Adults with CD have been shown to be less active than the general population and do not meet the recommended daily physical activity guidelines. One barrier to exercise is lack of time, however whole-body vibration exercise (where you stand and squat on a vibrating plate) can be done over a much shorter duration and at a lower intensity to gain potentially similar or at times greater benefits. More research is needed to understand the effects, both positive and negative of vibration exercise in people with CD. Aim: This study begins to understand whether undertaking a supervised 6-week vibration exercise programme for adults with mild to moderately active Crohn's disease improves HRQoL and other symptoms such as fatigue.
A substantial fraction of IBD patients with an initial response to infliximab or adalimumab later experience re-emerging active disease despite ongoing anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) agents maintenance therapy. The optimal intervention in patients with secondary loss-of-response (LOR) is still poorly defined, as there are still scant data on how best to choose the next intervention from among dose-intensification, switch to another anti-TNF or switch out of the anti-TNF class. Moreover, according to STRIDE 2 recommendations and CALM study, optimize patients based solely on lack of biological remission (CRP, calprotectin) can be discuss. If CALM study has showed that the intervention arm based on regular monitoring fecal calprotectin, CRP and/or CDAI to optimize patients under adalimumab was significantly associated to an increase rate of mucosal healing that the standard of care strategy based on only clinical activity, TDM was not available to guide drug optimization strategy.
