Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of ustekinumab on extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (both Crohn's Disease [CD] and Ulcerative Colitis [UC]).

This multicenter study is being conducted to determine whether infliximab exposure after an initial infusion is predictive of early clinical response in hospitalized pediatric patients with severe steroid-refractory UC or IBD-U. This pilot and feasibility study will establish the infrastructure, demonstrate feasibility, and collect preliminary data to support the full study.

Colitis from reactivation of established cytomegalovirus (CMV) colonization can complicate the clinical course in patients with an acute flare of ulcerative colitis (UC). Accurate and timely detection of active CMV infection or disease with appropriate anti-viral therapy may reduce complications associated with acute UC flare. Limited information is available on the presence of colonic CMV infection in patients with quiescent ulcerative colitis. Prospective studies on factors associated with reactivation of CMV infection during active UC flare and its impact on disease progression are lacking. The hypothesis of this study are as follows: 1) CMV infection is prevalent in patients with ulcerative colitis irrespective of disease severity; 2) The degree of immunosuppression directly impacts CMV infection status in patients with ulcerative colitis

Aims:Retrospectively observe the effects of Caltrate supplementation on the clinical effect of mesalazine in patients with ulcerative colitis. Design: From January 2015 to December 2020, through retrieving the clinical database of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, patients with active UC who accepted mesalazine treatment were enrolled. According to whether Caltrate was supplemented at the same time, the patients were divided into supplementary group and non-supplementary group. The modified Mayo score and several laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups.

A web application decision support tool has been developed for adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The purpose of this pilot trial is to test the web application for adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with Ulcerative Colitis (UC). This research will assess acceptability, feasibility of the decision support intervention for AYA UC patients. Participants will be randomized to usual care or usual care plus the web application prior to an upcoming clinic visit in Gastroenterology. Participants will complete surveys one week after their clinic visit about decision making preferences and, for those in the intervention group, usability and acceptability of the web application.

Confirmation of safety profile

This non-interventional study examines whether the patient's level of information and the consideration of the patient's preference have a positive effect on the compliance and thus also on the therapeutic success.

The study hypothesis is that withdrawal of carrageenan will lead to a longer, relapse free interval in patients with ulcerative colitis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety information of infliximab in patients who have participated in infliximab clinical studies in ulcerative colitis.

The study is based on the hypothesis that decreased creatinine clearance may be associated with detectable vancomycin levels in patients on enteral (oral / vancomycin enemas) vancomyicn for CDAD. The objective of the study is to see whether enteral vancomycin is absorbed through the inflamed GI mucosa in CDAD, and if it is absorbed, does it achieve measurable serum concentration.
