Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

Recent studies have shown that FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) free diet is efficient in subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) and celiac disease (CD) can experience functional gastrointestinal symptoms not related to inflammation, but data about the use of low FODMAPs diet in these settings are still scarce. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of a low FODMAPs diet in patients with IBS, non-active IBD and CD on strict gluten-free diet (GFD). A low FODMAPs diet could be a valid option to contrast abdominal symptoms in patients with IBS, non-active IBD and CD on GFD, thus improving the quality of life and the social relations.

People with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can be at higher risk of developing abnormal areas in their bowel. These abnormal areas can be due to active inflammation, healed inflammation, polyps or pre-cancerous changes ("dysplasia"). It is for this reason that people with IBD are offered periodic surveillance colonoscopy procedures to identify, characterize and where necessary remove abnormal areas or lesions from the bowel. These can be difficult to characterize correctly, which is important to make the correct endoscopic diagnosis and management plan. Technical advancements in endoscopy mean that more tools are available to identify and characterize these lesions in real time during colonoscopy. Specialists regularly performing gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy ("endoscopists") will often receive special training, both during their initial postgraduate training and through continuous professional development programs. This study aims to evaluate whether an online training platform can improve the ability of endoscopists to characterize dysplasia in IBD. The goal is to support improved decision-making during IBD surveillance, reporting of dysplastic lesions, and ultimately the care and outcomes of people with IBD.

This is a Phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, third-party open (ie, participant blind, investigator blind and sponsor open), placebo controlled study to investigate PK, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and PD of PF 06480605 following a single subcutaneous dose of PF-06480605 450 mg and 150 mg (if needed) in Chinese healthy adult participants.

Patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative restoration of bowel movement will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.

UCSD researchers are conducting a study aimed to develop and evaluate a chronic disease self management web and text message based program on health-related self-efficacy and frequency of adolescent-conducted healthcare interactions. We hypothesize that users of the program will demonstrate greater gains between baseline and 8 month measures of health related self-efficacy and adolescent-conducted healthcare interactions as compared to the usual care comparison group.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a trans-endoscopic capsule placement Capsule Endoscopy Delivery System.

The study team performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a care coordination intervention composed of proactive symptom monitoring and algorithm-based triggers to improve patient reported outcomes (PROs) and healthcare expenditures for high-risk patients with IBD. Enrolled patients with IBD were randomized to proactive symptom monitoring with the support of a care coordinator or usual care.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an online resource developed to aid health consumers in making health decisions and better support them to seek quality evidence before other evidence is effective in the context of inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome

Monitoring of biologic treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is important given the increased risk of infections. In this study we aim to evaluate the use of a mobile application to guide IBD patients and facilitate the monitoring of biologic treatment.

Spondyloarthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases are common diseases, frequently met together in overlap syndromes. Their physiopathology remains puzzling. A strong role of gut microbiota has been recently put forward to explain the development of inflammatory bowel diseases, and is suspected to play an important role in rheumatoid diseases. Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) alpha are effective and safe drugs in the treatment of both digestive and rheumatoid inflammatory diseases. The way they work is unclear, and the clinical response to this treatment is variable. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases and of the action of anti-TNF alpha is essential to an optimized care. Our hypothesis is that the efficacy of anti-TNF alpha in spondyloarthritis and in inflammatory bowel diseases is at least partly due to its restoring action of homeostasis at the interface between gastrointestinal mucosa and intestinal microbiota, either by primary action on the digestive epithelium, allowing it to regain its control and tolerance functions toward mucosal microbiota, either by direct action on the intestinal microbiota, via an inter-reigns regulation. The main objective of our study is to assess quantitative and qualitative changes in fecal microbiota before (D0) and 3 months after initiation of anti-TNF alpha.
