Filter by:This study evaluates the safety of the probiotic compound IDOFORM TRAVEL® in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment with insufficient clinical response. Furthermore, the study aims to explore the composition of the bacteria of the gut as well as the immunological activity in patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing anti-TNF treatment, aiming to identify differences between groups of patients responding and not responding adequately to treatment. The project will explore whether probiotics have beneficial effects as adjuvant therapy in ulcerative colitis patients with insufficient response to anti-TNF treatment.
The purpose of the study was to improve treatment results of patients with bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers by endoscopic applications of autoplasma, enriched with platelets and granular sorbent aseptisorb-A.
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled first in human study in approximately 36 male healthy subjects and approximately 20 male and female patients with active UC who have had an inadequate response to or demonstrated intolerance to 5-ASA.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that most likely results from the interaction between various environmental and genetic factors. Using probiotics as an adjunct to medical therapy might be useful in the treatment of UC and improving the symptoms of the disease. The result of studies that investigate the role of Probiotics supplementation in improving the inflammatory response, immune response and life quality of patients with the UC is not conclusive. So, this study aimed to study the effect of probiotics on the response of inflammatory markers, immune response, and quality of life in patients with UC. An interventional double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design will be used in this study. Forty patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=20) to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire and blood samples will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of follow up. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1,interleukin-10 IL-10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and complete blood count (CBC) will be measured. The results will approve or disapprove the beneficial effect of using probiotics as adjuvant therapy for UC patients to raise the immune system as well as improving their quality of life.
This project aims to evaluate the data on all patients undergoing endoscopic therapy for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
A web application decision support tool has been developed for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The purpose of this pilot trial is to test the web application for adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This research will assess acceptability, feasibility of the decision support intervention for AYA UC patients. Participants will be randomized to usual care or usual care plus the web application prior to an upcoming clinic visit in Gastroenterology. Participants will complete surveys one week after their clinic visit about decision making preferences and, for those in the intervention group, usability and acceptability of the web application.
This is Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled study to demonstrate superiority of CT-P13 SC over Placebo SC in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
It is hypothesized that application at 4-week or greater intervals of the human placental umbilical cord tissue TTAX01 to the surface of a well debrided, complex diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) will, with concomitant management of infection, will result in a higher rate of wounds showing complete healing within 26 weeks of initiating therapy, compared with standard care alone. This confirmatory Phase 3 study examines a population of diabetic foot ulcer patients having adequate perfusion, with or without neuropathy, and a high suspicion of associated osteomyelitis in a complex, high grade wound.
Individuals who use wheelchairs are at an increased risk of developing pressure injuries on the parts of the body that are in constant contact with the wheelchair. The development of pressure injuries can cause reduced mobility, reduced activity and participation, greater unemployment, increased risk for future pressure injury development, and premature death. There are numerous risk factors associated with developing pressure injuries. Individuals can reduce the risk of pressure injury formation by changing positions, weight-shifting, and using special cushions, but many people still struggle with pressure injuries. This study is designed to assess the clinical effectiveness of WiSAT (Wheelchair in-Seat Activity Tracker). WiSAT is a tool designed to help prevent the development of pressure ulcers by changing behaviors that can lead to pressure ulcers. WiSAT monitors and provides real-time feedback on weight shifts and pressure relief behaviors while sitting in a wheelchair.
1. Aim Patients with diabetes, hammer, mallet and claw toes and ulcers associated with the named deformities will be randomized to tenotomy (cutting) of flexor tendons to the afflicted toes, done by needle and standard offloading or offloading alone. The effects of the surgery on time to healing of ulcers associated with the named deformities, recurrence of the ulcers, and rate of complications associated with the surgery. In addition to this all patients gait and balance will be examined before start of the study, and after 3 months, to se if there is an effect of the surgery on patients gait and balance. 2. Method A prospective randomized clinical study, which means a study were patients will be allocated randomly to surgery and standard care or standard care alone. Patients will attend a total of up to 14 visits over a 12-month period. 3.
