Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how vedolizumab may affect patients with collagenous gastritis (CG). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether vedolizumab can reduce CG symptoms - Whether vedolizumab is safe to take for patients with CG Participants in this study will: - Receive vedolizumab through an IV ("infusion") - Complete a survey at each infusion visit - Have blood collected at each infusion visit - Undergo an endoscopy with biopsy
Autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AAG) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease that primarily affects the gastric body and fundus while sparing the antrum. Its characteristics include destruction of gastric wall cells, loss of intrinsic factors, and atrophy of the gastric mucosa. Endoscopic examination reveals features of reverse atrophy, with significant atrophy in the gastric body and fundus, appearing as a mosaic of red and white patches. Currently, AAG is believed to result from a pathological CD4+ T-cell-mediated autoimmune response against the gastric H+/K+-ATPase. CD4+ T lymphocytes target the parietal cells' H+/K+-ATPase, stimulating plasma cells to secrete autoantibodies, including parietal cell antibodies (PCA) and intrinsic factor antibodies (IFA). The former plays a key role in parietal cell destruction and glandular atrophy. AAG is considered a premalignant condition, with the potential development of gastric dysplasia, cancer, and type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumours (type 1 g-NET). Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (g-NETs), also known as gastric carcinoids, account for approximately 23% of gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Clinically, g-NETs are mainly classified into three types. Type III is typically sporadic tumors associated with normal gastrin levels and poor prognosis. Although type 1 g-NETs caused by AAG are usually well-differentiated, studies have reported that 8%-23% of type 1 g-NETs extending into the deep submucosal layer may metastasize to regional lymph nodes or even to the liver. Furthermore, 3% of patients may develop neuroendocrine carcinoma, highlighting the need for appropriate attention. Due to the destruction of gastric glands (including parietal and chief cells) in AAG patients, there is a deficiency in intrinsic factor, gastric acid, and a decrease in pepsinogen I (PG-I) levels. Insufficient gastric acid secretion leads to a compensatory increase in gastrin secretion by G cells in the gastric antrum, which acts on receptors present in enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL) in the gastric body and fundus, promoting ECL cell proliferation. Prolonged stimulation by hypergastrinemia can result in the development of ECL cell tumors, namely type 1 g-NETs. Considering the close association between type 1 g-NETs and AAG, primarily related to hypergastrinemia resulting from reduced gastric acid secretion, it is hypothesized that supplementation with gastric acid could provide negative feedback regulation of gastrin, reducing the risk of type 1 g-NET development in AAG patients. This study aims to investigate the impact of oral apple cider vinegar on gastrin levels in AAG patients, thus exploring a simple and cost-effective method to reduce the risk of type 1 g-NETs in AAG patients.
The goal of the study is to understand whether blood levels of hormones produced or metabolized in the stomach reflect the health of the stomach lining. Specifically the study will determine whether the concentration of ghrelin, gastrin, pepsinogens and vitamin B12 reflect the condition of the stomach lining. Hormone concentrations for people with normal/mild gastritis will be compared to people with long-term inflammation of the stomach (chronic atrophic gastritis), and people with pre-cancerous cellular changes (intestinal metaplasia).
To study the prevelance rate of H.pylori colonization in patients with gastritis. To correlate the H.pylori colonization with endoscopic finding. To correlate both H.pylori colonization and endoscopic finding with clinical manifestation.
- This clinical trial is conducted as a double-blind, randomized, and active drug control clinical trial. If the screening results determine that the selection/exclusion criteria are met, the clinical trial drugs are randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio of the Pexuprazan 40 mg and the Lansoprazole 15 mg dose group and taken for 4 weeks. - Gastritis symptoms are evaluated four weeks after baseline (Visit1) and clinical drug administration (Visit2), and if it is determined that gastritis is necessary according to the medical team's judgment due to gastrointestinal symptoms during the study participation period, endoscopy is performed to check whether gastritis occurs.
The objective of this study is to observe the preventive effects of high flow nasal oxygenation on the incidence of hypoxia during gastroscopy or colonoscopy sedated with propofol in high-risk patients.
The aim of this study is to develop and assess the feasibility and effect of a web-based, personalized risk-estimation for Crohn's disease (PRE-CD) tool on behaviors and biomarkers associated with risk for Crohn's disease in unaffected first-degree relatives of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We hypothesize that personalized risk disclosure via the PRE-CD educational tool is both feasible and successful in modifying behaviors associated with Crohn's disease risk and normalizing pre-clinical disease biomarkers when compared to standard Crohn's disease education. Broadly, completion of this project will also help elucidate the role of lifestyle and dietary factors in pre-clinical Crohn's disease development in high-risk individuals, and provide novel insight into potential strategies for disease prevention in this population.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Efficacy and Safety of Rebamipide/Nizatidine Combination Therapy with Nizatidine Monotherapy in Patients with Gastritis
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of rifabutin triple therapy for the treatment of H. pylori infection in the Israeli population. Patients with or without a prior history of H. pylori eradication failure will be randomized to receive one of three possible treatments: Group 1-amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg bd and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 2- amoxicillin 1000mg bd and rifabutin 150 mg d and esomeprazole 40 mg bd Group 3- standard of care
Gastritis defines any (histologically confirmed) inflammation of the gastric mucosa
