Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

A Phase 1, double blind, placebo controlled, 4 cohort, multiple dose study in healthy adult Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

The purpose of this study is to monitor microglial activation in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and investigate the relationship that exists between these patients and their risk of acquiring major depressive episodes (MDE). Patients with both IBD and MDE will be subsequently approached to participate in the study.

Inflammatory bowel disease consists of either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to describe real-world treatment patterns in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease when treated with vedolizumab. This will include the administration choices which can either be an infusion through a vein (intravenous or IV), or an injection just under the skin (subcutaneous injection, or SC). Treatment will be determined by the study doctor according to routine clinical practice.

This is an observational study to look at the impact of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery system for colorectal surgery (Group 1) in shortening hospital length of stay, reducing postoperative narcotic consumption, lowering Visual Analog Scale scores, decreasing the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and reducing 30-day readmission when compared to patients who had colorectal surgery performed at UAMS prior to the implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery system (Group 2). This is a retrospective study using de-identified records and therefore will not require subject enrollment and is NOT Human Subjects Research.

This study will be the first to assess the use of an electronic health records patient portal for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), have reduced quality of life, high rates of depression and anxiety, do not receive routine preventative health maintenance (such as vaccines) at the same rate as the general public, and have low adherence to medications. The investigators are seeking to understand whether an electronic health record patient portal (EPIC's MyChart), can be utilized to improve quality of life in this patient population.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create prediction models for when major complications occur after elective colectomy surgery. Justification: After surgery, patients can have multiple complications. Accurate risk prediction after surgery is important for determining an appropriate level of monitoring and facilitating patient recovery at home. Objectives: Investigators aim to develop and internally validate prediction models to predict time-to-complication for each individual major medical complications (pneumonia, myocardial infarction (MI) (i.e. heart attacks), cerebral vascular event (CVA) (i.e. stroke), venous thromboembolism (VTE) (i.e. clots), acute renal failure (ARF) (i.e. kidney failure), and sepsis (i.e. severe infections)) or adverse outcomes (mortality, readmission) within 30-days after elective colectomy. Data analysis: Investigators will be analyzing a data set provided by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Descriptive statistics will be performed. Cox proportional hazard and machine learning models will be created for each complication and outcome outlined in "Objectives". The performances of the models will be assessed and compared to each other.

In this study, we aimed to (1) compare cumulative incidences of synchronous and metachronous colorectal neoplasia as well as mortality following AN in CD and UC patients who underwent proctocolectomy, (sub)total colectomy, partial colectomy or endoscopic resection, and (2) to determine factors associated with AN treatment choice.

Examine whether daily oral ingestion of a immunomodulatory mushroom extract (AndoSanTM) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), experience clinical, biochemical and genetical improvement in their disease. A prospective randomised study comparing the mushroom extract with placebo.

In this cross sectional and longitudinal study, patients with inflammatory bowel disease on biological treatment with infliximab or adalimumab will be included. After inclusion, the dosage of their existing biological therapy will be adjusted following regular trough-level and antibody-level monitoring, according to a treatment algorithm. Disease activity markers, fatigue and QoL will be assessed during the study. The hypothesis is that therapeutic drug monitoring may improve clinical disease outcome after one year of follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmakokinetic properties of higher doses (500 mg and 1000 mg) of Monofer(R)in patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease
