Filter by:To show that prevalence of inflammation of the small bowel in patients with anorectal disease is under-diagnosed based on colonoscopy ileoscopy alone.
This is a single center, open label forced dose titration study designed to determine the tolerability of curcumin in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study will provide initial tolerability and safety data in pediatric patients with IBD. Twenty patients with IBD in remission or with mild disease (score <34 on PUCAI or score <30 on the PCDAI) on sulfasalazine or mesalamine aged 8 to 18 years will be enrolled into this study. Each patient will participate in the study for nine weeks. From this study an appropriate dosage will be determined to proceed with a double blinded placebo controlled study.
Healthy Normal Single Ascending Dose and Crohn's patient Multiple Ascending Dose
Main Study Objectives: The study is conducted to - evaluate the minimal allopurinol and azathioprine doses that, in combination, produce therapeutic 6-TGN levels - evaluate the safety and tolerability of the different allopurinol/azathioprine dose levels - assess if concomitant allopurinol affects TPMT activity - assess the clinical efficacy of concomitant allopurinol-azathioprine therapy in the included patients
The purpose of the Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative Research Group Registry is to study the contemporary natural history of children <16 years of age newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. The project follows these children quarterly from diagnosis examining clinical, laboratory, and humanistic outcomes. Genetic and serologic monitoring is performed on the study population.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will be assessed for immunologic response to pneumococcal vaccination. Patients with IBD meet criteria as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for pneumococcal vaccination, yet the investigators have found that pneumococcal vaccination in this population is under-utilized. It is unknown whether or not IBD or IBD-related medications impact the immune response to this recommended vaccine. Three groups of 25 patients each will be recruited. The first group will consist of outpatients with IBD who are receiving infliximab (Remicade TM) while on concommitant immunosuppressive therapy (with either 6MP, azathioprine, or methotrexate). This group is intended to represent a common 'heavily immunosuppressed' patient group with IBD. The second group will consist of patients with IBD seen in our outpatient clinic who are not on any immune-suppressive medications. These patients meet CDC criteria for vaccination by virtue of having a chronic medical illness. The third group will consist of healthy age-matched (to the first group) controls. After obtaining informed consent, patients will be screened with baseline lab tests including testing for antibodies against pneumococcus. At the baseline visit, patients will also undergo a brief medical history, physical examination, and assessment of their IBD disease activity. Included patients will then undergo a one-time intramuscular vaccination with 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumovax TM). One month later, subjects will return for a blood draw to assess for response to pneumococcal vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to determine how safe, tolerable and effective the new standardised dosage regimen of FERINJECT® infusions is, compared with a well established intravenous iron treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment of iron deficiency in IBD patients.
The UCRPT is a randomized controlled trial to determine if a type of hypnotherapy will maintain remission in patients affected by Ulcerative Colitis.
Subjects must be 18- 75 years old and have a history of both inflammatory bowels disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) and pyoderma gangrenosum. This is a 6 month open label study of an intravenous (IV) medication. Visits occur every 2 weeks initially, then every 1-2 months later in the study.
