Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the development of anti-drug antibody to biosimilar CT-P13 and to assess the change of drug concentration for 1 year in patients with moderately to severe inflammatory bowel disease.

Vascular complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising mainly Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), representing 2% extra-intestinal complications. In over 60% of cases, these vascular complications of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Several studies have shown that patients with IBD have a risk of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) increased from 1.5 to 3.5. This risk is closely related to disease activity.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the treatment patterns associated with biologics agents use or non-biological therapy in participants with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD).

An ileostomy is a surgical opening established by bringing the end or a loop of the ileum to discharge directly outside the body. This is typically done when part or the entire colon is removed because of IBD, cancer, or familial adenomatous polyposis. Reversal of this procedure, an ileostomy closure, may be done if possible. Ileostomy closure involves reconnecting the ileum to the remaining colon, allowing normal bowel movements again. This study will look at the outcomes of these surgeries in patients who were seen and operated on by the investigators.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), consisting of two major forms, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affects more than 1.6 million people in the United States alone. Though the precise mechanisms underlying the inflammation and immune responses in IBD are still being investigated, various inflammatory mediators, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, and genes have been implicated in the disease process. At present, there are no reliable mechanisms to predict response to individual IBD medications. The investigators seek to evaluate whether inflammatory cytokines change longitudinally during treatment with anti-cytokine agents in both treatment primary responders and primary non-responders. In addition, the investigators will be evaluating the pharmacogenetics of treatment response to these agents.

Procedure is offered today to most patients with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who are candidates for total proctocolectomy. While high rates of successful pouch surgery are reported, there is a significant long-term risk of pouch-related complications including ileo-anal anastomotic separation and stricture, pouch-perineal and pouch-vaginal fistula, pouchitis, pelvic sepsis, small bowel obstruction, and pouch dysfunction. Despite recent advances in treatment of these complications by medical and surgical means, these problems can still lead to pouch failure and pouch excision. The long-term rate of pouch excision is reported in large series to range from 5.3% to 24%. Moreover, the burden of quality of life impairment on patients with these complications is immense. Pouch excision operations are technically difficult with substantial morbidity. This study aimed to investigate the indications for pouch excision, the number of salvage operations prior to these excisions and complications of pouch excision surgeries.

To find out what adaptations have been made by Inflammatory bowel disease physicians and patients in relation to therapies in flaring IBD patients during severe acute respiratory syndrome 2-COV and what the impact of these is on IBD patients with no symptomatic COVID-19 and in suspected/confirmed COVID-19. Also whether there any IBD related factors impacting the outcome of patients with COVID-19 symptoms or COVID-19 disease

Whether the perceived changes in management of Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis during the COVID pandemic are widespread, and whether they have any impact on patient outcomes

Malnutrition and growth retardation are major extraintestinal presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in childhood and are especially prevalent among those with Crohn's disease. We aimed to evaluate nutritional status of children with IBD at the time of diagnosis.

The main aim of this study is to check the disease activity in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Participants will complete questionnaires about their disease and quality of life on Day 1 clinic visit. They will do this during a standard scheduled appointment with their doctor. Some of this study will also involve collecting information about participants from their medical records.
