Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate: a) the efficacy of ustekinumab dosing in inducing clinical remission, b) safety profile of ustekinumab, and c) ustekinumab exposure (pharmacokinetics [PK]) in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active UC.

Evaluation of the microbiota modulation away from inflammation associated microbiota profile Bacteroides2 (Bact2) Evaluation of the microbiota modulation potential of statins in Bact2- enterotyped, healthy volunteers and ulcerative colitis patients. Evaluation of the effect of microbiota modulation on disease activity in ulcerative colitis patients. Evaluation of reduced inflammatory parameters of participants involved in trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a diet intervention (the Fasting Mimicking diet) will help induce clinical and biochemical response to tofacitinib therapy or second line biologic therapy with ustekinumab or infliximab in patients with ulcerative colitis. Study period will be 8 weeks during induction of tofacitinib or ustekinumab or infliximab. The primary aims of this study are to determine clinical response and improvement in fecal calprotectin and C-reactive protein levels. Secondary outcomes will include assessment of changes in the stool microbiome.

This is an open label randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy and treatment duration with vedolizumab to patients with immune mediated colitis. The trial will include 82 patients randomized into two arms, either standard treatment with prednisolone (plus infliximab in severe cases) or vedolizumab treatment up front.

Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients with moderate to severe disease activity at high risk of colectomy. Early use of biologic agents will likely be more effective. But there were no studies identified that compared a strategy of upfront biologic-based therapy versus gradual step-up therapy. In our study, newly diagnosed moderate to severe pediatric UC patients (6-18 years old) will be randomly divided into infliximab (IFX) treatment group (Top down group, TD) and corticosteroids (CS) treatment group (Step-up group, SU). Mucosal healing rate at week 12 will be compared between the two groups. The relapse rates and sustained durations of remission within one year will also be evaluated.

Disease activity and response to therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC) can be assessed by a range of endpoints including symptoms, endoscopic mucosal activity, histological disease activity, and biomarkers. This study aims to determine the optimal treatment target, which is a research priority for the management of UC both to inform clinical practice and to help inform regulatory endpoints and targets for drug development. Participants with active UC will be randomized in a 2:3:5 ratio to 1 of 3 groups, each with a different treatment target. Treatment targets will be defined as: Group 1: corticosteroid-free symptomatic remission Group 2: corticosteroid-free endoscopic + symptomatic remission Group 3: corticosteroid-free histological + endoscopic + symptomatic remission

The purpose of this open-label extension (OLE) study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etrasimod in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who previously received double-blind treatment (either etrasimod 2 mg per day or placebo) during participation in one of the qualified Phase 3 or Phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled parent studies including but not limited to: (APD334-301 [NCT03945188] or APD334-302 [NCT03996369] or APD334-210 [NCT04607837]).

This study is designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).

The purpose of this study is to see how a diet that mimics fasting effects inflammation in patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The diet may allow users to receive the benefits of fasting while also being able to enjoy food (the ingredients of which are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Research on dietary interventions and UC are very limited. Fasting mimicking diets (FMD) have been studied with support of the National Institute of Health and published in leading journals. This research investigates whether markers of inflammation decrease and/or quality of life increases after three cycles of a five-day period of the fasting mimicking diet, and may provide rationale for its use to treat UC.

This is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three active dose regimens of MORF-057 in adult patients with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
