Filter by:The main aim of this study is to learn how the body of a child or teenager with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) processes vedolizumab (pharmacokinetics) given just under the skin subcutaneously (SC). The participants will be treated with vedolizumab for up to 34 weeks. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times.
The main aim of this study is to learn about the effect of treatment with vedolizumab IV (vedolizumab) together with tofacitinib in adults with moderate and severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Another aim is to learn about treatment with Vedolizumab alone after the double treatment. All participants will receive vedolizumab together with tofacitinib for 8 weeks and will be checked for response. Participants who show a response to the treatment after 8 weeks will be treated with vedolizumab alone for an additional 44 weeks. Each participant will be followed up for at least 26 weeks after the last dose of vedolizumab.
This is a French prospective longitudinal observational multicentre cohort study. Primary objective : to assess prospectively the presence and the extent of safety concerns (cancer, serious infections, arterial and venous thrombotic events) in patients with CD and UC and treated with JAKi, anti-IL23p19, and S1p modulators.
This study aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of alpha-lipoic acid as adjuvant therapy to mesalamine in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis due to its effect as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory drug which can help to improve disease.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (as measured by induction of remission) of two dose levels (low and high) per age group (5 to <12 and 12 to ≤17 years) of budesonide rectal foam as compared to an equivalent volume of rectally administered placebo foam over the same dosing schedule, in pediatric subjects with active, mild to moderate distal ulcerative colitis (UC).
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a refractory disease characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, bloody stools, and abdominal pain with repeated relapses and remissions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate association between ozanimod exposure during pregnancy and subsequent maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) characterized by a multifactorial etiology, a variable involvement of large bowel, and a relapsing-remitting course. In order to keep the disease in a "quiescent" status and to prevent relapses, a significative percentage of UC patients will remain on long-term drug therapy. However, long-term immunosuppressant therapy is not free of risks and complications: in fact, these therapies have an impact on both healthcare system resources and patients' quality of life; more, there are even concerns regarding the side effects of long-term immunosuppressant therapy. Over the past 20 years, a considerable amount of evidence was produced to support the immunomodulatory role of the appendix in the development and course of UC: there is a strong inverse relationship between previous appendectomy and development of the UC. One of the proposed theories to justify this link is that the appendix could act as a reservoir for commensal bacteria that can be secreted into the colon, affecting its microbiome and immunological response; another theory describes the appendix as the "priming site" for the cytokine production and the immunological cascade that may trigger inflammation in colon and rectum. The idea of this study moves from these assumptions: the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of appendectomy in patients with UC who are candidates to the treatment with biologics (Anti TNF-a), because of conventional therapies failure. To further reduce any ethical problems and significantly lower any surgical morbidity, investigators will restrict the study population to only patients with active left-sided colitis, so that the surgery for appendectomy will take place on a non-inflamed cecum. By undertaking this study, the investigators hope to a) learn more about the role of appendix and the impact of appendectomy in the clinical history of Ulcerative Colitis; b) demonstrate that laparoscopic appendectomy, a relatively simple surgical procedure that can also be performed in day-surgery with a very low expected complication rate, is a treatment that is superior to biological therapy, avoiding patients starting a chronic, long-lasting therapy, with the consequent risk of immunosuppression, and with possible higher costs for the health system in the long term.
The study is designed to investigate efficacy and safety of CU104 in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
This is a prospective interventional study exploring the modifiability of physiological metrics, namely Heart Rate Variability (HRV), using a 5-week standardized HRV biofeedback intervention in subjects with symptomatic ulcerative colitis. Participants will be followed for 17 weeks. The goal is the understand if modifying these markers can impact ulcerative colitis related symptoms.
