Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine if home automated telemanagement improves bowel symptoms, quality of life, compliance with medications, and health care utilization compared to best available care in patients with ulcerative colitis.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AEB071 in the treatment of active, moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in patients who have failed conventional therapy using mesalamine or steroids

To establish the efficacy and safety of a new tablet formulation and dosing regimen of balsalazide disodium dosed twice daily in achieving clinical improvement in subjects with mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis after 6 weeks of therapy.

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

This is a multi-center study in Ireland and United Kingdom to determine the effects, safety and tolerability of a drug called CyCol™ in improving mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Informed consent will be obtained and following confirmation of eligibility and disease assessment, study participants will be randomised (allocated by chance) to take either CyCol™, or placebo, orally once every day for four weeks. Study visit assessments will include blood and stool tests, physical examinations and flexible sigmoidoscopies (inspection of the bowel wall using a flexible camera). Half the participants will receive CyCol™ and half will receive placebo. At the end of treatment (4 weeks) study participants will be reassessed again and the findings in those who received CyCol™ will be compared with those who received placebo. Any side effects experienced during the study and the safety of treatment with CyCol™ will also be evaluated.

This study consists of a 2-week placebo-controlled double-blind inter-group efficacy study in moderate to severe refractory ulcerative colitis (UC) patients followed by a maximum of 12-week open-label efficacy and safety study in responders.

A Double-blind, Randomized, 6-week, Parallel-group Design Clinical trial to assess the Safety and Efficacy of Asacol 4.8 g/day (800 mg mesalamine tablet) versus Asacol 2.4 g/day (400 mg mesalamine tablet) for the Treatment of Moderately Active Ulcerative Colitis (ASCEND III).

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 effectiveness and safety of infliximab (Remicade) in patients with Ulcerative Colitis. Infliximab (Remicade) targets specific proteins in the body's immune system to help control the development of inflammation to help reduce painful disease.

This is a multi-center trial to test the safety, efficacy and tolerability of alicaforsen (ISIS 2302), a new type of drug called an antisense drug, in patients with mild to moderate active Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Alicaforsen is designed to reduce the production of a specific protein, called ICAM-1, a substance that plays a significant role in the increase of inflammation and is likely to be involved in inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis. The ISIS 2302-CS22 study will examine the effects of one of two dosages of alicaforsen delivered by enema over a six-week period as compared to an active control, mesalamine enema (The probability of receiving the alicaforsen formulation is 2:1). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the percentage reduction in DAI at Week 6.
