Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

The trial will test the hypothesis that edible structures within plant cells (ginger) will have clinically important anti-inflammatory effects on the gut lining of patients with inflammable bowel disease. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of exosomes with and without curcumin in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD); To estimate the effect of ginger exosomes or curcumin alone or combined with curcumin on the symptoms and disease score in patients with refractory IBD describe toxicities associated with ginger exosomes; to evaluate the effect of ginger exosomes on biomarkers of inflammation.

The overall goal of the study is to investigate the dietary differences between children with well-controlled inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and those with active disease by using targeted food metabolomics. The utilization of the application of targeted metabolomics allows for the investigation of specific components of foods and their effects in IBD and inflammation, which may inform future dietary recommendations for IBD patients.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of systemic immunosuppression on sustained antibody COVID-19 concentrations in patients with IBD who received a COVID-19 vaccine.

The goal of this study is to prospectively test the hypothesis that specific dietary modification can improve patient symptoms by promoting beneficial changes in the composition of the microbiome that, in turn, alter the immune response in such a way as to and ameliorate inflammatory conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The potential long term benefit of this research is a validated set of efficacious dietary guidelines for persons with IBD. The potential immediate benefit to patients is symptomatic relief and healing.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes a group of chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal system and is composed of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. As an immune-mediated disease, IBD treatment options include the use of biologic medicines including anti-tumor necrosis alpha factor (also called anti-TNFs) medication. Despite biologic medicines being an important part of IBD management, there is inconsistency in the way these medications are used. Implementation of evidence-based, standardized biologic care pathways (BCP) can improve treatment related outcomes. Previous research has shown that using a clinical care pathway, such as a BCP, is a feasible method to support clinical decision making and may improve disease-related outcomes for patients. The researchers propose a prospective study to determine how well a BCP can be incorporated into clinical practice, improve patient health outcomes, and reduce healthcare system redundancies. Also, the impact of a BCP on outcomes for patients treated with the help of a standardized BCP compared to those in patients treated without the use of a BCP will be studied. The results of this study will inform how best to incorporate evidence-based BCPs into real-world practice and support the wide-spread adoption of BCPs in clinical practice.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Clinical Activity of HRS-7085.

Background: Smooth transition of adolescent patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) to adult care is necessary in order to secure continues clinical management and to prevent possible deleterious clinical and psychosocial implications. In recent years there is an emphasis on successful transition, however, there are no standardized models or consensus guidelines incorporating both clinical and psychosocial aspects of transition. Objectives: To examine the effect a comprehensive clinical and psychosocial transition package on clinical management and patients outcomes in adolescents with IBD. Design: A prospective, trans-sectional study. Setting: The Schneider Children's Medical Center and the Rabin Medical Center. Participants: Children 17 year to 18 years who are diagnosed with IBD and are planned to initiate transition process to adult care. Main outcome measures: Change in clinical management as a result of tailored re-evaluation as a part of tailored transition package. Secondary outcome measures: a. The effect of a tailored transition package on patients' self-efficacy perception and readiness for transition. b. The effect of a tailored transition package on patient's outcomes (disease activity, flares, hospitalizations) during the first year following transition.

The primary aim of the proposed research is to investigate the extent to which a one-week online gratitude intervention can improve levels of wellbeing in individuals living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). A secondary aim was to investigate the extent to which dispositional gratitude influences levels of coping and wellbeing and to what extent this mediates the effect of the intervention. Participants with IBD will be randomized to either treatment or control group. Participants will complete measures pre- and post- intervention, and follow-up (eight weeks) measuring: gratitude (state and trait), illness severity, mood, stress and coping.

The primary aim of the project is to investigate whether a behavioural training programme improves troublesome bowel symptoms, that people with inflammatory bowel disease continue to have, despite their disease being controlled by medication. The other aim is to determine if there are factors which influence how well the training programme works. People attending an Inflammatory Bowel Disease clinic in a tertiary hospital, with bothersome bowel symptoms despite disease control, will be asked to join the study. This involves 2 to 6 sessions with a pelvic floor trained physiotherapist over a period of 6 months with further follow up at 12 months..

The PediFETCh study is a pilot trial designed to assess the feasibility of fecal microbiota transplants for the therapy of pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) and pediatric inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified (IBD-U). Investigators will test the hypothesis that a protocol of twice-weekly retention enemas delivered over six weeks, using fecal transplant material from a healthy donor, will improve clinical and biological disease markers in patients with pediatric UC or IBD-U.
