Filter by:The purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence rates of malignancy, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), venous thromboembolic events VTE (deep venous thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism [PE]), NMSC, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), infections, hospitalization and specific antibiotic or antiviral treatment, lung cancer, lymphoma, herpes zoster, myocardial infarction (MI), gastrointestinal (GI) perforations, fractures, surgery for UC and death; through 4 sub-groups: adult patients with UC who initiate tofacitinib in the course of routine clinical care compared to other medications approved to treat UC.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Crohn's disease (CD) is an incurable chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for treating Atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Crohn's disease (CD). Approximately 600 adult participants who are prescribed Upadacitinib by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in Korea. Upadacitinib will be administered in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization, and treatment of participants will be determined solely by the investigator. Participants in the study will be followed for up to 52 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combined therapy with infliximab and ustekinumab works better than using these drugs alone in adult patients with ulcerative colitis. It will also learn about the safety of this combination. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the combination therapy improve the symptoms and heal the intestine quicker and better than these drugs administered alone? Does the combination therapy improve the quality of life better than these drugs administered alone? What medical problems do participants have when taking the combination therapy? Participants: Patients diagnosed with UC will be qualified to biologic therapy (infliximab/ustekinumab/infliximab + ustekinumab). Visit the clinic in stated periods for assessment and to apply medication. Take drugs based on the schedule.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an incurable, immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the large bowel that typically requires long term immunosuppressive drugs to induce and maintain remission. Hospitalisation due to severe, uncontrolled disease is a common occurrence and estimated to affect up to 25% of UC patients. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have attracted considerable attention as potential candidates for treating hospitalised patients with severe UC and are increasingly used in this setting. For tofacitinib, there are accumulating data supporting their use as effective induction agents to prevent colectomy and reduce length of hospitalisation, however, these are limited to small case series and small cohort studies only. There are no published data for the use of filgotinib and upadacitinib for treating severe inpatient colitis. The aim of this study is to develop a large retrospective cohort of JAKi-treated hospitalised UC patients to describe the safety and effectiveness of using JAKi in this setting.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are an inflammatory disease that can affect the entire digestive tract from the mouth to the anus for CD and the entire colon and rectum for UC. They mainly affect adolescents and young adults. These pathologies evolve in relapses interspersed with phases of remission. Sometimes associated with extraintestinal manifestations (joint, dermatological, ophthalmological or biliary systems), chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and the resulting symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal syndrome, etc.) lead to a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients in all spheres of activity (professional, sexual, social). Sleep is a basic neurophysiological state, the normal total duration of which in humans is between six and ten hours per day. It is an essential element of the circadian rhythm in humans, influencing certain cellular functions and in particular the synthesis of cytokines and pro-inflammatory molecules (Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young in 2017). Sleep disturbances and disruption of the circadian rhythm lead to metabolic and immunological dysfunctions, which may be involved in chronic inflammatory conditions through changes in the immune response. In the field of IBD, many studies suggest poor sleep quality in patients with IBD. While there seems to be a link between sleep disorders and impaired quality of life with a socio-professional impact in these patients, the links between IBD activity, its treatment and sleep disorders are poorly studied, with discordant results in previous studies. In order to enrich our knowledge on this topic, the investigators wish to study the prevalence and risk factors associated with sleep disorders in IBD patients in order to improve patients' quality of life
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether IBD patients have better disease outcomes and feel more empowered to manage their condition if they have access to text messaging with their clinical team and if their symptoms are more regularly monitored through text-based surveys. Researchers will compare participants who have access to text-based monitoring, communication and education to participants who have access to text-based education alone. Researchers will also examine if different social and other non-medical factors impact IBD symptoms and quality of life. All participants will: - complete 5 brief on-line surveys over 12 months about their IBD and social risk factors, - receive IBD education content by text message up to 2 times a week. Some participants will also: - receive additional surveys by text to monitor their IBD progression, - have the opportunity to directly text message their IBD medical team.
Baitouweng Decoction is traditionally used to treat large intestine damp-heat syndrome of ulcerative colitis (UC) by oral administration and rectal enema.The project applicant's invention of transendoscopic entral tubing (TET) has been used in Baitouweng Decoction for the treatment of UC across the whole colon, however, the efficacy have not been reported and the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Compared with oral and rectal enema, Baitouweng Decoction by colon TET can improve the therapeutic effect by increasing the concentration of drugs in the whole colon, which need to be verified. This project will reveal the prescription effect and drug-microbiome interaction mechanism of whole colon repeated administration of Baitouweng Decoction in the treatment of UC through clinical randomized controlled studies, deep intestinal dynamic sampling, integrated analysis of multi-omics and TCM prescription metabolomics studies, and provide key scientific basis for the establishment of a new approach of whole colon repeated administration of TCM and a new strategy for the treatment of UC.
This study is a clinical trial being done to investigate the efficacy of drug BRS201 as a treatment in patients with acute ulcerative colitis. Patients who qualify are adults who have not responded to treatments for their severe ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as an open-label pilot study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 7 study visits, all of which will be conducted at a study site. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool and urine sample for a few lab tests throughout the study. Participants may also undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy at the beginning and end of the study.

At enrollment, after informed consent form will be discussed and signed, subjects will undergo complete disease assessment. In this study, 150 adult subjects with IBD will be enrolled at the Gastroenterology Department of the San Raffaele Hospital (50 patients with Crohn's disease, 50 with Ulcerative colitis not undergoing proctocolectomy, and 50 with Ulcerative colitis undergoing proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis). All the patients will perform routine investigations with Ileocolonoscopy (IC), according to the current standard of care indications and ECCO guidelines, and they will be assessed by both Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) and Trans-perineal ultrasound (TPUS). Blood and stool samples will be obtained for fecal calprotectin (FC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) measurements, respectively, as normal clinical practice. All the procedures of this study are performed routinely in clinical practice. All the procedures are performed in a single day-visit for the patient.
