Filter by:Given the bidirectionality between psychological distress and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereby increased psychological distress exacerbates disease activity and vice versa, psychosocial aspects of IBD care are receiving increased attention. However, proposed interventions are generally resource-intensive and have been tested in majority white populations. While people of color are an increasing segment of the IBD population, they are currently underrepresented in research studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among IBD patients of color with elevated psychological distress.
The study will assess the efficacy and safety of oral MT-1303 compared to placebo at 12 weeks as the induction treatment in subjects with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC), as well as maintenance treatment with open-label MT-1303 for up to 36 weeks.
This trial is being completed to learn about how Aquamin® affects gastrointestinal permeability, or the control of material passing from inside the gastrointestinal tract through the gut wall into the rest of the body, in people with ulcerative colitis (UC), Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D), and in healthy individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess effectiveness of vedolizumab versus ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease and vedolizumab versus tofacitinib in patients with ulcerative colitis, after non-response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) medications, using data from two existing cohorts.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of mirikizumab in pediatric participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will last about 172 weeks and may include up to 44 visits.
The OPTIMIZE Trial compares whether iDose dashboard-driven infliximab dosing (iDose-driven dosing) is more effective and safer than standard infliximab dosing for inducing and maintaining disease remission in inflammatory bowel disease.
Specific Aim 1: Characterize the effects of vitamin D treatment on expression of α4β7 on B cells in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Specific Aim 2: Determine the effects of vitamin D treatment on fecal immunoglobulins, percentage of Ig-coated gut bacteria, gut microbiome composition (global and bound by immunoglobulins) in patients with IBD and the association of these parameters with change in α4β7+ B cells . Specific Aim 3: Compare BCR repertoire (BCR clonotypes, immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGHV), and isotype usage) between α4β7+ and α4β7- B cells in patients with IBD and identify α4β7+ BCR clonotypes associated with Ig-bound gut bacteria .
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are chronic diseases of the gut comprising Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The symptoms of IBD consist of diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, fatigue and rectal bleeding. However, symptoms and treatment vary between patients. Early management of IBD can lead to better response rates and decrease the risk of irreversible bowel damage and future disease complications such as surgeries. Current clinical tools for diagnosis and or assessing progression of IBD are either invasive (colonoscopy), have low patient acceptance (fecal calprotectin) or low accuracy (C-reactive protein). The purpose of this study is to collect clinical data and samples (including blood, breath and stool) donated by patients with IBD and patients with no IBD (controls) to facilitate research that may result in the development of new non-invasive methods of diagnosing IBD and understand the progression of the disease over time in order to better manage IBD patients.
Patients with chronic pouchitis is disabled by bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain often followed by fever. Pouchitis is an inflammation in a pouch, a reservoir formed by the small intestine in the management of the chronic inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis. The standard treatment for pouchitis is intensive broad-spectrum antibiotics for a longer period. However, the treatment often fails after repeated treatments. Studies show that patients with pouchitis have an altered composition of the gut microbiota compared to healthy individuals and patients with a pouch without inflammation. As shown by several studies, faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) with administration of faeces from healthy donors can alter the microbiota. Treatment with faecal microbiota transplantation to chronic pouchitis has been investigated in several clinical trials with mixed results. It is however still uncertain if faecal microbiota transplantation using stool from healthy individuals with a colon is optimal, or if stool from patient with a normally functioning pouch should be used. The study primary aims to investigate if transplantation of faeces from patient with a normal pouch function can induce clinical remission in patients with chronic pouchitis.
Investigators aimed at investigating the prediction ability of faecal calprotectin to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy Investigators aimed to evaluate the prediction ability of NLR, PLR and MLR to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy. Investigators evaluate the histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy in Assuit university hospital.
