Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by severe inflammation of the small bowel and/or the colon leading to recurrent diarrhea and abdominal pain. Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) is characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, gas, loose and frequent stools. Butyrate has shown anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, providing symptomatic relief when orally supplemented in patients suffering from various colonic diseases. The investigator proposes to investigate the effect of a microencapsulated form of sodium butyrate on the fecal microbiota of patients with IBD and IBS-D.

A single center randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a post-discharge mobile health application on 30-day re-admission and patient reported outcomes following elective colorectal surgery

This study aims to assess trough, TREM-1 levels and efficacy of IFX and ADA in IBD patients.

This study is the first administration of GSK2982772 in humans. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and repeat oral doses of up to 14 days with GSK2982772 in healthy male subjects. This study is planned to include approximately 52 subjects and will consist of 2 parts: Part A - single ascending dose, randomized, placebo controlled, 4 way crossover. In addition to the crossover treatment periods, up to 8 subjects in cohort 2 will participate in an additional treatment period and receive GSK2982772 with a high-fat meal. Part B - repeat dose, randomized, placebo controlled, sequential-group. In both cohorts of Part A (Cohorts 1 and 2), subjects will be randomized equally (1:1:1:1) to one of 4 treatment sequences. Within each period, allocation of active to placebo treatment will be 3:1. In all cohorts in Part B (Cohorts 3, 4 and 5) subjects will be randomized to GSK2982772 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. If required, subjects in the additional cohorts in Part A (Cohort 6) and Part B (Cohort 7) will be randomized to GSK2982772 or placebo in a 1:1:1:1 and 3:1 ratio, respectively. The study duration, including screening and follow-up, is not expected to exceed 105 days for any subject in the study.

This study seeks to test the feasibility of a self-management manual with minimal telephone support by a healthcare professional. The study will also explore the acceptability of the intervention manual to patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of fidaxomicin (FDX) and primary metabolite OP-1118 in Subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and C. difficile Infection (CDI). This study will also compare CDI clinical response to the microbiological response in terms of magnitude of reduction of C. difficile total viable count and spore count during treatment with FDX and if achieved; the time to microbial eradication; determine time to negative CDI toxin assay in stool specimens during treatment with FDX; assess the stool concentrations of FDX and metabolite OP-1118 throughout therapy; assess the length of hospital stay, readmissions and resource utilization for IBD patients receiving FDX; record the incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and document the impact of treatment on Quality of Life as measured by the changes in Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) score.

The introduction of infliximab (IFX) and other monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was a major advancement in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These biologics were able to improve the health outcomes of many IBD patients for whom other treatments were neither satisfactory nor sufficient. Despite clear advantages and increased use of these treatments, physicians still see a loss of response in up to 50% of their IBD patients within one year of initiating these therapies. Most of these phenomena are attributed to low drug concentrations in the presence or absence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). The fundamental issue is that approved/on-label dosing of these drug therapies does not take into account the various factors that impact the way an individual's body responds and processes these therapies. Dashboard software systems can quickly integrate patient data and serve as a revolutionary decision-support tool for physicians. The Precision IFX dashboard prototype was specifically developed to facilitate dosing of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies by integrating patient's clinical characteristics and drug concentrations into pharmacokinetic (PK) algorithms. Using clinical observations and patient laboratories, the system provides multiple dosing regimens that could allow the patient to attain and sustain a therapeutic drug trough level. Using the Precision IFX dashboard to analyze and forecast optimal dosing regimens with prospectively collected individual patient data, the clinician will select an appropriate dose to actively maintain therapeutic drug trough levels throughout the infliximab maintenance period. This study aims to examine the outcomes of one year of maintenance infusions in IBD patients dosed using the Precision IFX dashboard prototype and compare the results with historical controls.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of ferric maltol and intravenous iron (IVI) Ferric Carboxy Maltose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and subsequent maintenance of haemoglobin in subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and to obtain an indication as to the therapeutic effect of QBECO induction treatment on clinical improvement in moderate to severe Crohn's Disease.

This study (UNITI-1) will compare the effects (both positive and negative) of an initial treatment with ustekinumab to placebo over 8 weeks, in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who have either failed or could not tolerate at least one TNF-antagonist medications in the past (specifically, infliximab, adalimumab, or certolizumab pegol).
