Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of MK-6194 in participants with active UC.

The main aim of the study is to learn if 4-weekly vedolizumab improves symptoms of Japanese participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). Vedolizumab is commercially available in Japan for 8-weekly treatment but not for 4-weekly treatment. The study doctors will also monitor side effects from the study treatment. This study will take place in Japan. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. For those who can take part, participants will receive vedolizumab intravenously once every 4 weeks. After 3 infusions of vedolizumab (which will be 12 weeks of treatment), the study doctor will assess if symptoms of the participants have improved. Participants who do not have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will stop this treatment. Then, they will visit the study clinic 16 weeks after their last infusion of vedolizumab for a final check-up. Participants who have improved symptoms after 12 weeks of treatment with vedolizumab will continue to receive vedolizumab every 4 weeks. Then, after their last infusion of vedolizumab, the participants will visit the study clinic 16 weeks later for a final check-up. Finally, the study clinic will make a phone call to each participant 6 months after their last infusion to check if they have any health problems.

Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no or limited signs of disease. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive 1 of 3 doses of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease that can require the use of anti-TNF alpha therapy. When anti-TNF alpha failed to obtain a clinical response, the use of a new anti-integrin therapy, vedolizumab, can be proposed. The efficacy of vedolizumab has been assessed in a phase 3 study (GEMINI I), with response rates of 41.1% with vedolizumab vs 25.5% with placebo. CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) reactivation has been associated with resistance to steroid and to several lines of immunosuppressive therapy. Antiviral therapy was proven to decrease the tissue viral load and to restore the response to immunosuppressive therapies (up to 80% in small group of patients). A recent meta-analysis supports the use of valganciclovir in case of CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) reactivation in active Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Moreover, a study showed that the risk of CMV reactivation seems to be more important with vedolizumab than with anti TNF, and the risk of colectomy is higher in case of CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) reactivation (p<0.05).

A phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group study to administer KSP-0243 or a placebo once daily after breakfast for 8 weeks in 100 patients with mild to moderate active ulcerative colitis.

To preliminarily evaluate the clinical efficacy of the renin inhibitor SPH3127 Tablets in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis with placebo as a control and determine the recommended dose.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1b study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of APL-1401 in patients with moderately to severely active UC. This study comprises 3 periods including screening period (D-28~D-1), treatment period (D1-D28), and safety follow-up period(D29-D58).

SOR102-101 is a Phase 1, 3-part, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, FIH study to determine the safety, tolerability, and PK of single, ascending oral doses (SAD) of SOR102 (Part 1) and multiple oral doses (Part 2) of SOR102 in healthy adult participants, and to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity of multiple oral doses of SOR102 in patients with mild to moderate UC (Part 3). The details provided describe Parts 1 and 2 of the study. This post will be updated to describe Part 3 once Parts 1 and 2 are completed.

Although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is stable in North American and European countries, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing in newly industrialized countries, especially in China. The treatment drugs for ulcerative colitis include 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents. The aim of this exploratory Clinical Trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Several oral mesalazine (5-ASA) formulations exist, but the regimes require several tablets per day. Such regimens are not ideal and can interfere with normal daily activities of patients. Non-adherence has been associated with an increase in the risk of relapse and worse disease course; leading to a decrease in quality of life, an increase in societal and personal costs, and worst case increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, a new formula for 5-ASA has been approved by the Danish Medicine Agency, with a single tablet regime per day. Primary purpose: • To investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen for 5- ASA (1600 mg as one tablet per day [intervention]) improves adherence with preserved remission rates compared to conventional therapy. Secondary purposes: Compare levels of endoscopic, mucosal and histological inflammation in predicting risk of relapse between the intervention group and the conventional therapy group. Investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen improves the disease course compared to the conventional therapy. To assess the correlation between different endpoints and the disease courses, with the use of clinical, endoscopic, histological, self-reported and biochemical markers. Improve, correlate and assess patient-reported outcomes in a prospective manner. To establish a biobank of cases with quiescent/mild ulcerative colitis (UC) for identification of future biomarkers.
