Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

HealthPROMISE is a mobile application (app) for patients that allows regular tracking of symptoms by patients and communicates them to physicians. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the impact of the HealthPROMISE application on improving patient outcomes. The trial will look at how much patients use the application, whether physicians change treatment in response to new information from patients, and how the patients quality of life change over the span of the study. The investigators hypothesize that HealthPROMISE will enhance physician-patient communication and improve clinical outcomes.

The aim of this study is to assess the ability of miR-320a and other specific microRNAs to follow the disease course in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), and to distinguish both entities, infectious colitis and healthy controls. Furthermore, the accuracy of miRNA-320a to distinguish CD or UC from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) should be evaluated . The study is designed as a single center non-randomised prospective trial.

The purpose of this study is to describe treatment patterns associated with first-line and second line biologic use (vedolizumab or other biologic) and to describe the real-world clinical effectiveness of the use (first-line and second line) vedolizumab versus other biologics at least 6 months post-treatment initiation.

The purpose of the study is to confirm that V565 enters inflamed tissue, binds to TNF and reduces inflammation after oral dosing to patients with IBD.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition that results in the inflammation of the colon and rectum. Patients suspected to have ulcerative colitis are diagnosed via colonoscopy. Moreover, colonoscopy is considered to be the preferred procedure for assessing the activity and extent of the disease, as well as monitoring treatment response and development of lesions. Therefore, optimal performance and visualization of mucosal lesions via adequate bowel preparation is essential in such patients. In addition, the nature of the disease and the need for multiple colonoscopies throughout a patient's lifetime makes compliance to repeated procedures difficult. It is well known that colonoscopy preparations are generally poorly tolerated, disliked and, consequently serve as an additional burden on patients.Polyethylene glycol (PEG), despite being the golden standard, is not very well tolerated. Inadequate bowel preparations are associated with cancelled procedures, prolonged procedure time, incomplete examination, increased cost and possibly complications, physician frustration and patient anxiety, but most importantly, with missed pathology. A good bowel preparation would need a solution with reasonable volume, acceptable taste, minimal diet restrictions, and easy-to-follow instructions. The strict need for adherence to drinking a relatively large volume of solution preparation may result in poor compliance. Despite the emergence of several types of low volume preparations, the evidence on the use of such solutions remains sparse. This is especially true in terms of patients' tolerability to the solution, and its relation with adequate bowel preparation during colonoscopy. The investigator's aim is to assess how small volume preparations such as sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate (Citrafleet®) enhance participants tolerability to the solution, compliance, and adequacy of bowel preparations when compared to 2L polyethylene glycol + ascorbic acid (MoviPrep®) in patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

Explorative investigation to study the effect of the endogenous bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 4659 as a nutrient additive against relapse in ulcerative colitis. Forty patients will be studied with a randomized parallel design over one year. Patients with established treatment against relapse of ulcerative colitis with mesalazine ≤4 grams will be requested to participate in the study, allocated to 20 patients with placebo and 20 with active treatment L. reuteri as an "add-on". Inklusion: 18-80 years of age, ≥1 relapse with bleeding during previous 12 months with a disease activity Mayo Clinical Score ≤2, treatment with mesalazine ≤4,0 g daily. Exklusion: >80 years of age, no registered bleeding during recent 12 months, on-going steroid treatment, immunosuppressives, biologics or adhesion inhibitors, antibiotics or other clinical trial. behandling med probiotika. Disease monitoring will be done with: Time to disease relapse with macroscopic bleeding and Mayo score ≥5, blood chemistry and CRP, lipopolysaccharides and gut permeability, fecal calprotectin, and short health scale at 4 weeks, 26 weeks and 52 weeks.

The purpose of this observational study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of biosimilar Infliximab in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi Arabia where no visits or intervention(s) additional to the daily practice will be performed.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness by the clinical response at 6 weeks and the safety of vedolizumab intravenous in UC Korean participants.

The aim of this study is to describe and evaluate clinical outcomes, treatment lines, and to identify the key characteristics of the patients treated with tofacitinib.

We will quantify one of the lipid compounds (5,6 epoxy eicosatrienoic acid (5,6 EET), 5,6- EpoxyEicosaTrienoic acid) in colonic biopsies of Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients. We will evaluate its possible use as a pathological activity biomarker and its potential as a therapeutic target. We hypothesized that 5,6-EET is present in human colonic tissues in varying quantities depending on the pathological state of the IBD patient.
