Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

This study is only for the first in human phase 1a study designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of LIV001 in healthy participants. LIV001 will be investigated for the safety and efficacy in participants with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in a phase 1b study.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by diffuse, continuous inflammation of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective mesalamine delayed-release capsules are in treating pediatric participants with UC. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Delzicol (Mesalamine) is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 80 Pediatric participants aged 5 to 17 years with a diagnosis of UC will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites in the United States. Participants will receive oral mesalamine capsules twice daily for 26 weeks and followed for 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two formulations of budesonide (budesonide MMX [Cortiment] and budesonide CR [Entocort]) work for treating patients with microscopic colitis.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involving the colon is a known risk for colon cancer. There are two standards-of-care colonoscopy techniques used for screening all patients who suffer from IBD for more than eight years. One method is to obtain random biopsies throughout the colon and the other is by using dye spraying chromo-colonoscopy. This trial aims to study the difference between the two colonoscopy techniques during the era of high definition camera in detecting neoplastic lesions during screening patients with long-standing IBD.

The role of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in the induction of remission in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease had been well documented. But the role of EEN in children with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) was not clear. In this study, EEN will be combined with corticosteroids or infliximab in the induction of remission in pediatric UC patients with moderate to severe disease activity. The mucosal healing rate at week12 will be compared between the two groups (combine with EEN group VS non-combine group).

This is a prospective interventional study exploring the modifiability of physiological metrics, namely HRV, using a 5-week standardized HRV biofeedback intervention in subjects with symptomatic ulcerative colitis. Participants will be followed for 17 weeks. The goal is the understand if modifying these markers can impact ulcerative colitis related symptoms.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect on urine color by adding household bleach to fresh urine sample among pediatric UC subjects treated with 5ASA

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that follows a course of remission and flare-ups. Especially during flare-ups, the worsening of symptoms negatively affects all aspects of the individual's life and decreases their quality of life. Individuals sometimes have difficulty accessing healthcare facilities. In addition, every hospital admission causes an additional burden on healthcare institutions and the individual, both physically and financially. Therefore, it is of great importance to support and develop self-management behaviors for individuals to control their symptoms. Progressive relaxation techniques are a relaxation method based on the principle of voluntary contraction and relaxation of muscle groups in our body. It has been reported that progressive relaxation techniques, which are applied in many chronic diseases and procedures, improve symptoms and disease parameters reported by individuals, especially pain, anxiety, and stress. When the literature in the world and Turkey is examined, no study applying progressive relaxation techniques to ulcerative colitis patients has been encountered. It is known that especially stress and anxiety affect the number and severity of flare-ups in ulcerative colitis patients. It is thought that this study will contribute to the self-management behaviors of ulcerative colitis patients in the rare diseases group for the Turkish population and fill the gap in the literature.

Evaluation of robot Da Vinci Xi by determining its learning curve.The operating time will be defined by patient then the operating average will be calculated.

The aim of this research is to study the effects of a pomegranate juice on calprotectin levels in patients suffering of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in clinical remission. Fecal calprotectin levels, surrogate marker of mucosal inflammation, will be measured from baseline to 12 weeks later (end of intervention). Systemic and mucosal changes of biochemical and molecular inflammatory response markers will be also assessed.
