Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum effective dose (MED) of Interleukin-2 in subjects with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.

This Phase III, double-blind, placebo and active-comparator controlled, multicenter study will investigate the efficacy and safety of etrolizumab in induction of remission in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who are naIve to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and refractory to or intolerant of prior immunosuppressant and/or corticosteroid treatment. In addition to this study, a second Phase III trial with identical study design (GA28948; NCT02163759) was independently conducted.

This study aim to investigate the effect of Profermin versus Fresubin in the dietetic treatment of active ulcerative colitis.

MultiStem(r) is a new biological product, manufactured from human stem cells obtained from adult bone marrow or other nonembryonic tissue sources. Factors expressed by MultiStem cells are believed to reduce inflammation and regulate immune system function, protect damaged or injured cells and tissue, promote formation of new blood vessels, and augment tissue repair and healing. MultiStem cell treatment resulted in significant efficacy in a mouse model of Graft versus Host Disease with almost complete reversal of gastrointestinal pathology (similar to pathology that would be expected in Ulcerative Colitis). These data, together with safety data generated in 2 other clinical trials, suggest that MultiStem has the potential to be a new treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis. This is the first study of MultiStem in this patient population and will cautiously explore the safety/toleration and potential benefit of this new treatment in patients with moderate to severe disease.

In this study the investigators aim was to investigate the safety and possible efficacy of Profermin® in patients with ulcerative colitis. The investigators also aimed at assessing the usefulness of a new online daily symptom registration system.

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety and efficacy of 4-aminosalicylic acid in patients with mildly to moderately severe ulcerative colitis.

This study is the first-time-in-patient trial of GSK1399686, a novel locally-acting anti-inflammatory compound, aimed at obtaining initial information on the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics (including concentrations in colon mucosa) and anti-inflammatory activity of GSK1399686 upon oral dosing in patients with active ulcerative colitis. The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, sequential dose escalating trial, with an active control (ASACOL) group as internal control. Up to three cohorts (Cohorts 1-3), each consisting of approximately 20 patients with mild-moderately active ulcerative colitis not limited to the rectum, will be included, one for each dose level of GSK1399686 to be tested. Within a cohort, patients will be randomized in a 3:1:1 ratio to receive GSK1399686 (once daily over 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks dosing with placebo), placebo, or ASACOL (t.i.d. for 6 weeks), respectively. An interim analysis of fecal markers and disease activity data will be performed by the end of Cohort 3. Based upon results, the study may be stopped or continued by recruiting either Cohort 4 (if data on an additional dose level would be warranted to establish or clarify a dose-response relationship) or, in the case of a robust efficacy signal at any dose level previously studied, Cohort 5 (to expand the sample size for given dose level in order to evaluate the efficacy of GSK1399686). The number of patients and randomization allocation ratio may be altered in Cohort 5 and it may not include an active control arm. If Cohort 4 is initiated upon interim analysis, then a second interim analysis may be performed at the end of Cohort 4, to assess whether progression into Cohort 5 (as defined above) would be justifiable.

Mare's milk consumption could improve the well-being in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Chinese prescription on Ulcerative Colitis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects (good and bad) of golimumab (CNTO 148) therapy in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC).
