Filter by:This is a non-interventional, retrospective study of adult participants with IBD. IBD consists of either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will review the clinical data previously collected during February 2007 to March 2020 of approximately 724 participants who have had treatment with adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab, or vedolizumab in Taiwan.
This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study plans to recruit 300 subjects in the United States and Canada in which the participating physician has decided to treat with INFLECTRA. The study will evaluate treatment patterns, adherence, disease activity, remission status, relapse status, treatment satisfaction, and healthcare resource utilization. Patient outcomes will be assessed at four time points (quarterly) for approximately 52 weeks after the decision to initiate treatment with INFLECTRA.
There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases(IBD) which includes Ulcerative Colitis（UC) and Crohn's Disease(CD). Some patients have no or little reaction to the traditional drugs. Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microbiota is closely associated with the development of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. In recent years, a retrospective study showed that the overall efficiency of intestinal microbiota transplantation for IBD was 79%, the overall remission rate was 43%, which opened a new chapter in the treatment of IBD. So the standardized intestinal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators plan to recruit patients with IBD in China. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized intestinal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with traditional drugs, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators aim to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment, and further to explore which major bacteria may effect in this project.
When women with rheumatoid arthritis become pregnant 75% of them will go into remission, despite stopping medication. This phenomenon is not well understood and is not seen in other inflammatory conditions. Once they give birth they often relapse. Bacteria in the stool and inside the gut have the ability to effect the immune system and some beneficial bacteria are known to down regulate inflammatory components of the immune system. Gut bacteria are also known to alter significantly during pregnancy and in other inflammatory conditions there are low levels of beneficial bacteria associated with diseases like ulcerative colitis. There is significant crossover between rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease with similar arthritic symptoms and mechanisms of inflammation. There is very limited investigation of gut bacteria and rheumatoid arthritis, but some animal work has shown that treatment with probiotics and prebiotics can improve the condition. The aim of this study is to examine the bacteria in the stool of women who are pregnant with rheumatoid arthritis and identify any significant bacteria changes that might be used to direct future research.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract which includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). A recent epidemiological investigation estimates that nearly 4 million people worldwide are affected and approximately 1.4 million of these cases occur in the United States. IBD can lead to debilitating symptoms, hospitalizations, decreased quality of life, frequent procedures and/or surgery. Treatment options consist of immunosuppressive therapy, such as systemic corticosteroids, immunomodulators (thiopurines and methotrexate) and/or biologics, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) agents or an integrin inhibitor, vedolizumab. They can achieve clinical remission and decrease the risk of complications, but also increase the risk for opportunistic infections, including influenza. Multiple studies have shown lower influenza vaccine responses in patients with IBD compared to healthy individuals; IBD patients treated with TNF agents or combination therapy (TNF inhibitors and immunomodulators) are very likely to mount a poor immune response. Influenza serum antibody concentration correlates with protection from infection following vaccination. Therefore, increasing influenza antibody responses in patients with IBD would appear to be critical to improving protection from influenza. A high dose (HD) influenza vaccine containing four times more hemagglutinin was licensed based on its ability to induce higher antibody concentrations compared to standard dose (SD) in adults 65 years or older.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of fidaxomicin (FDX) and primary metabolite OP-1118 in Subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and C. difficile Infection (CDI). This study will also compare CDI clinical response to the microbiological response in terms of magnitude of reduction of C. difficile total viable count and spore count during treatment with FDX and if achieved; the time to microbial eradication; determine time to negative CDI toxin assay in stool specimens during treatment with FDX; assess the stool concentrations of FDX and metabolite OP-1118 throughout therapy; assess the length of hospital stay, readmissions and resource utilization for IBD patients receiving FDX; record the incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and document the impact of treatment on Quality of Life as measured by the changes in Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) score.
The investigators proposed study is the first of its kind. The investigators will measure measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis antibodies in patients on the current IBD treatment modalities and compare the vaccine antibody concentrations and correlate them with time since immunization.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects 250,000 adults in the United Kingdom (UK) and causes bouts of diarrhoea which are hard to control. Over a quarter of patients experience extremely distressing faecal incontinence (FI). Even when the disease is in remission, the majority of patients live in fear of not finding a toilet in time. This curtails their activities and quality of life. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE 2007) has issued national guidance on actively asking patients about FI and a step-wise care plan for managing FI. However, this has not been evaluated in people with IBD, the vast majority of whom do not ask for help, even when they have frequent FI. Across six expert centres in the UK, the investigators will perform 3 linked studies: [1] The investigators will screen people with IBD, offering the opportunity to obtain help with bowel control. The investigators will compare uptake of a postal approach versus response to a proactive face-to-face asking approach at a physical or telephone clinical appointment. [2] The investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing two different approaches (IBD nurse specialist plus self-help booklet versus self-help booklet alone) to see which one produces the best results in terms of reductions in FI, other symptoms, costs and quality of life at 6 months after intervention. Booklet group participants may access the nurse intervention at 6 months if they wish, when the RCT is finished. [3] Interviews will be performed at the end of the intervention, gathering patient views and preferences and staff perspectives via Qualitative interviews and free text questionnaire comments, to enable a rich understanding and interpretation of our results. The investigators will disseminate the results widely to people with IBD and health professionals and take active steps to embed successful interventions in NHS services, having gained sound evidence on how many people want help, whether intervention is effective in improving FI, and patient and staff views on interventions.
The presented study aims to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and increased symptoms of anxiety and depression by using the disease specific CBT program (PASCET-PI)in order to improve quality of life and to improve the clinical course of disease.
The purpose of this prospecitve randomized controlled trial is to compare effectiveness and patient/family adherence of weekly or daily Vitamin D-3 dosing regimens in children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] insufficient or deficient. The primary aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness of once weekly verses daily D-3 dosing regimens based on the most current IBD supplementation guidelines in improving 25(OH)D levels. A seconary aim is to determine if there is difference in adherence between dosing regimns.
