Filter by:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to two chronic diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) that affect the intestines. The number of new cases of IBD in people younger than 16 years old has been increasing in the United Kingdom (UK), and is currently estimated to be 700 new cases every year. There is no cure for IBD and patients experience episodes of flareups in between periods of wellbeing. Traditionally, children with IBD are asked to attend regular hospital appointments. This means that, even if they are well, they have to get to the hospital and this can involve travelling long distances. Telephone consultations have been shown to be beneficial in some areas of medicine but this approach has not been well studied in children. The aims of this study are to determine whether telephone consultations would improve quality of life, patient satisfaction, proportion of consultations attended and whether they would be safe and reduce costs for patients and the National Health Service (NHS). Investigators plan a randomised controlled trial involving 92 participants recruited from amongst the 250 children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years who attend the regional paediatric IBD centre in Manchester. Half will be assigned to telephone consultations, and half to face to face consultations. The study would have the approval of the local ethics committee and participants would have provided written consent. Investigators will compare outcomes in the two groups over 2 years. If telephone consultations prove to be effective, the NHS could offer children with IBD the choice of either telephone consultation or face to face consultation for their outpatient followup. Those who are doing well would not have to make unnecessary journeys to the hospital. This would free up clinic spaces and allow patients who are unwell, and new patients to be seen more quickly, thus reducing waiting
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects. Overall, nine [9] subjects will be evaluated. The subjects will receive one [1] radio-labelled tablet after a high fat and a rich in calories breakfast.
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects and patients with mildly active UC. Overall, nine [9] subjects per prototype coating (a total of 18) will be evaluated. Four [4] healthy subjects and five [5] patients will be administered one [1] radio-labelled tablet of either formulation D or formulation E, respectively. Amendment: Overall, nine [9] subjects/patients will be evaluated. Four [4] healthy subjects and five [5] patients will be administered one [1] radio-labelled tablet of this new third improved formulation H. In order to keep the number of patients low, recruitment of patients will be stopped when obtaining at least 3 patients with evaluable scintigraphic images. Healthy volunteers will then be recruited to achieve a full set of participants (n=9 per Arm).
This is a Phase I, open-label, single-site trial to evaluate the drug release, using Scintigraphic images and mesalazine plasma levels (PK) in healthy subjects. Overall, nine [9] subjects per prototype coating (a total of 18) will be evaluated. Eligible subjects will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive radio-labelled TP05; the first 9 subjects will receive formulation B and the second 9 subjects will receive formulation A. The subjects will be treated once with the radio-labelled study medication.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of apremilast (30 mg twice daily [BID] and 40 mg BID), compared with placebo, in participants with active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
The purpose of this study is to prove the superiority of a 48-weeks treatment with 3.2 g/day delayed-release phosphatidylcholine (LT-02) versus placebo for the maintenance of remission in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)
This case-control study will screen for dysmenorrhea and assess severity of menstrual symptoms in menstruating women with CD and UC compared with healthy age-matched controls. IBD activity will be characterized using previously validated clinical disease activity indices. General and health-related quality of life will be assessed using validated measures.
This research study is about adding Black Raspberry powder to the treatment regimen of patients with ulcerative colitis who are currently in remission and doing well.
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.
For both induction of remission and in maintenance of remission, different doses and treatment durations are used in practice. The aim of this study is to assess how mesalazine is used in clinical practice, at which doses and for how long and how these differences impact the patient disease state and work productivity.
