Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

This study was designed to evaluate if subjects who achieve complete remission after 8 weeks of acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD have better long-term outcomes and remain in remission longer compared with subjects who demonstrate only partial remission after acute therapy with MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 4.8g/day given QD. Therefore, subjects who achieve either complete or partial remission will enter into a 12-month maintenance phase, during which they will receive MMX mesalamine/mesalazine 2.4g/day given QD. Remission status for the 2 groups will be evaluated and compared at the end of this 12-month maintenance period. The data obtained from this study will provide scientifically meaningful information to demonstrate that achieving complete remission (clinical and endoscopic remission) is important for a better long-term prognosis, or that the current paradigm of symptomatic treatment is appropriate.

Children aged up to 18 years with moderately active Ulcerative Colitis (PUCAI:35-64) will receive one weekly Adacolumn® apheresis treatment over 5 consecutive weeks, followed by up to 3 optional Adacolumn® apheresis treatments over 3 consecutive weeks. Primary end point is PUCAI at Week 12. The main part of the clinical investigation will be continued by a one year follow up for responders.

This is a prospective unblinded, randomized trial for the use of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC), in combination with or without antibiotic pretreatment.

This study is designed to determine whether ulcerative colitis participants prefer delivery of golimumab via a prefilled syringe or the Smartject™ device.

To proof the therapeutic equivalence of once daily (OD) versus three times daily (TID) dosing of total 3.0 g mesalazine granules in patients with active ulcerative colitis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aminosalicylic acid (ASA) can be safely withdrawn in patients with long-standing clinical inactive UC.

This research study is about adding Black Raspberry powder to the treatment regimen of patients with ulcerative colitis who are currently in remission and doing well.

The investigators will test the hypothesis that giving antibiotics prior to fecal transplant therapy for active UC increases the proportion of patients in remission at the end of treatment. The investigators will randomize patients aged 18 or over with active UC to antibiotics (metronidazole 500mg, doxycycline 100mg, Terbinafine 250 mg, all twice daily for two weeks); or identical placebo. At the end of two weeks the investigators will give all patients fecal transplant therapy twice per week for eight weeks from an anonymous donor stool.). Patients will complete a validated UC questionnaire, have a flexible sigmoidoscopy to assess the degree of inflammation in the colon and complete general and disease specific quality of life questionnaire as well as a questionnaire on anxiety and depression. Patients will complete the same questionnaires again at the end of treatment at week 9 when they will also have a repeat flexible sigmoidoscopy. The main outcome that will be assessed is the proportion of patients in remission from their UC at the end of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to gain insight into the exposure-response relationship of golimumab in moderate-to-severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Patients commencing induction therapy with golimumab will be enrolled into a prospective study and evaluated at three time-points (weeks 6, 10 and 14) for clinical and biochemical UC disease activity as well as serum golimumab concentrations and the presence of anti-golimumab antibodies. Patients already established on stable golimumab maintenance therapy will be enrolled into a cross-sectional study with the same evaluations taken at a single time point.

This is Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled study to demonstrate superiority of CT-P13 SC over Placebo SC in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
