Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

This is a Phase I/II, multi-center, open-label proof-of-concept study of vamorolone. Twenty participants with a flare of mild or moderately active Ulcerative Colitis (defined as a Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index [PUCAI] 10-60) will be enrolled and receive vamorolone 6 mg/kg/day orally once daily for 8 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of PF-06826647 in moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

In the present study, ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in the remission stage of the disease will be randomized into two groups: Alberta anti-inflammatory diet and Canada's Food Guide diet. The elements of Alberta anti-inflammatory diet have previously been shown to have a role in decreasing the risk of UC development or management of UC-related symptoms or relapse. Since the primary outcome of interest is the relapse rate in two groups, disease status will be assessed monthly using appropriate tools. In order to find out the underlying mechanisms that will relate the proposed diet to decreased flare rate, some laboratory evaluations, which are mainly markers of inflammation or are related to gut microbiome will be conducted. In the present study, the investigators will also perform state-of-the art metabolomics tests, in order to study how the dietary changes will change the end metabolites. In addition, the investigators will be able to explore if metabolomic profile of participants can predict future UC relapse. This study will last for 6 months from baseline wherein all the study subjects will receive appropriate dietary instructions in addition to their stable doses of maintenance drug therapy.

This randomized, pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of berberine chloride in treating patients with ulcerative colitis and who are in remission (a decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer) to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk for colorectal cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs, such as berberine chloride, to keep a disease/condition from forming or coming back. The use of berberine chloride may keep colorectal cancer from forming in patients with ulcerative colitis.

GSK1605786 is an oral antagonist specific for the chemokine receptor CCR9 in development for treatment of small bowel and colonic Crohn's disease (CD). The purpose of this Phase II proof of concept study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of GSK1605786 (500 mg twice daily) administered orally for 16 weeks for the treatment of patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). A key secondary objective is to understand the mechanism by which GSK1605786 is acting and to this end samples will be collected to confirm the degree of inhibition of CCR9 on T lymphocytes in the blood of patients, and to explore the relationship between concentration of drug and changes in lymphocyte and antigen presenting cell populations in the peripheral circulation and in the colon. Patients recruited at specified investigational sites will be invited to participate in an optional sub-study to explore the effects of GSK1605786 on trafficking of technetium labelled T cells using Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT). Specifically, the technique will be used to follow trafficking to large intestine and thymus and findings linked to pharmacokinetics of GSK1605786, receptor occupancy and clinical efficacy outcomes

The purpose of this study is to compare the maintenance of mild to moderate ulcerative colitis remission with six months of treatment with 1.5 grams of mesalamine pellets each day versus placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of using allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat people with medically refractory Pouchitis.

Prospective clinical study that analyzes the efficacy of colonoscopy assisted by an artificial intelligence system (DiscoveryTM) compared to virtual chromoendoscopy with iSCAN in the detection of colon dysplasia in patients with long-standing Ulcerative Colitis.

This study plans to learn more about the effects that creatine monohydrate has on disease activity in ulcerative colitis. Creatine is a substance that is naturally produced by the body and is found in foods, such as meat and fish. Creatine helps to provide energy to some body tissues, such as the colon. In the colon, this energy allows cells to form a tight barrier between molecules in digested food and bacteria and the body's infection-fighting cells within the colon underneath this barrier. If the barrier becomes "leaky" molecules may pass through and lead to inflammation. This "leakiness" may contribute to the colon inflammation seen in ulcerative colitis.
