Filter by:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that requires lifelong treatment. This study will asses the concentrations of risankizumab in the breast milk of lactating women with IBD Risankizumab is an approved drug for adults with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's Disease. This is an open-label milk-only study lactation study to evaluate the presence of risankizumab in the milk of lactating women. Approximately 10 adult lactating women with IBD will be enrolled from approximately 3 sites in Israel and or the United States. Participants will receive risakizumab maintenance therapy every 8 weeks postpartum prior to start of participation in this study. The study duration is approximately 7 months. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The participants will also be completing questionnaires and will have medical assessments, checking for side effects.
For the first time, this study developed an anti-inflammatory diet （AID） recipe suitable for Inflammatory bowel disease（IBD） patients and developed an AID application program to verify the intervention effect of AID on IBD patients, which not only promoted the application of AID in IBD patients and promoted the promotion of AID model, but also provided new ideas for the prevention and treatment strategies for IBD patients.
Routine follow-up of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) under stable doses of maintenance therapy or no IBD-related therapy at all, consists of intensive monitoring with prescheduled outpatient visits every six or twelve months. However, many of these patients do not require additional interventions from the IBD specialist during these visits. In addition, patients in long-term remission, often request a less frequent follow-up in the hospital and in consequence a less frequent absence from school or work. In conclusion, these routinely follow-up visits might put unnecessary burden on both healthcare providers and IBD patients, as well as on healthcare resources. Until now, no clear standard was set for how to organize a remote monitoring programme that is feasible and safe in a large patient population. Despite the possible added value of remote monitoring for IBD patients on stable or no therapy and who are in remission, they are seldomly the targeted population in clinical trials analysing the effects of remote monitoring in IBD. Secondly, a significant reduction in outpatient clinic visits, is often not actively included in the programme, but more an outcome result. Finally, to compose a safe remote monitoring programme, subjective and objective parameters of disease activity should be collected. With the ROADMAP study, the main objective is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of remote monitoring in IBD patients that are stable on their current therapy or receive no IBD-related therapy. Secondly, a health economic evaluation will be conducted. Patients will be randomised to either the remote monitoring group or control group. The remote monitoring group will visit the outpatient clinic after two years. During this two-year period, patients will be monitored remotely via three-monthly questionnaires (PRO-2, IBD disk, WPAI, EQ-5D-5L) and faecal calprotectin measures. An IBD nurse will evaluate all incoming data and act in case of red flags.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the efficacy of the newly developed 5Ad diet against the widely researched low fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharide and polyols (FODMAP) diet in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with functional bowel disorders/food intolerances. The primary aims of this RCT are to determine: - Whether the 5Ad diet is at least as effective as the low FODMAP diet in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms associated with FBDs/food intolerances. - Whether either the 5Ad diet or the low FODMAP diet are effective in reducing mental and physical fatigue. To achieve the above aims, an RCT will be conducted with the 5Ad diet in one arm vs the active phase of the low FODMAP diet in the other arm, in a cross-over design with a 7 days washout phase in between. Both dietary protocols will be followed by each participant for 7 days. Researchers will compare the results from the 2 dietary protocols in order to ascertain the superiority of one over the other in regards to 6 gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, bowel urgency, straining and incomplete defecation), stool form and frequency of defecation.
Opioid-induced bowel dysfunction is a frequent condition during opioid therapy for chronic pain. Indeed, up to 90% of people on opioid treated patients experience constipation. Standard laxative treatment is often ineffective in opioid-induced constipation, but peripheral acting mu-receptor antagonists (PAMORAs) have the potential to block the effects of opioids in the gastrointestinal tract while preserving the central analgesic effect. In this study, we will investigated the effects of Naldemedine in preventing the development of opioid-induced bowel dysfunction and constipation during treatment with tramadol
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, although iron is commonly prescribed, the amount of elemental iron needed to achieve clinical efficacy, and the optimal method of supplementation, are under debate. This pilot study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of low dose and standard dose oral iron preparations for the treatment of IDA in patients with IBD.
This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.
This cross-sectional case-control study aimed to determine whether there is a significant difference in the prevalence of impaired toilet training, LUTS, and functional bowel problems among children diagnosed with DCD and typically developing children (TDC).
This study will test whether it is feasible to conduct a clinical trial of mirtazapine (an antidepressant tablet) in patients who have both depression and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study design is a randomised controlled trial (a study in which people are allocated by chance to receive different interventions). The trial will compare mirtazapine against a placebo (dummy) tablet in 76 patients with both depression and IBD. The investigators will recruit outpatients aged 18 or over with a diagnosis of any IBD attending gastroenterology clinics. Either in person or remotely, patients will complete a brief screening questionnaire for depression. Those scoring positive for depression will be invited for a 15-minute interview for clinical depression. Those with clinical depression will be invited to take part. Participants will be randomly allocated by a computer to take either 1) mirtazapine tablet once at night for 12 weeks; or 2) placebo (dummy) tablet once at night for 12 weeks. The study is 'blinded', meaning neither patients nor the study team will know which medication they are taking. Throughout, participants will be able to access other treatments for depression, such as talking therapies. The investigators will measure how many people join the study; how many remain in the trial; how many complete treatment; how many tablets people take; and assess overall acceptability of the trial. Participants will complete brief questionnaires to measure their mental health and IBD symptoms after 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. Participants will also provide blood samples and faecal samples to measure inflammation. If successful, this trial will support an application for a larger version of the study.
This study aims to determine if improved risk stratification tools and interventions to mitigate malnutrition reduce postoperative risk in patients undergoing elective or emergent resection surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and if adding immune modulation nutrition improves surgical outcomes. The primary objective is to assess whether preoperative malnutrition screening and intervention minimize postoperative complications. The secondary objective is to evaluate whether immune modulation nutrition in the peri-operative period decreases length of stay and major complications.
