Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

SOR102-101 is a Phase 1, 3-part, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, FIH study to determine the safety, tolerability, and PK of single, ascending oral doses (SAD) of SOR102 (Part 1) and multiple oral doses (Part 2) of SOR102 in healthy adult participants, and to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity of multiple oral doses of SOR102 in patients with mild to moderate UC (Part 3). The details provided describe Parts 1 and 2 of the study. This post will be updated to describe Part 3 once Parts 1 and 2 are completed.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the early introduction of biological treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor (infliximab) in addition to corticosteroids for severe ir-colitis/diarrhoea will reduce the time to grade ≤ 1 ir-colitis/diarrhoea compared to corticosteroids alone in patients scheduled for ICI treatment for solid tumors and untreated mCTCAE grade 2-4 diarrhoea or colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can an early introduction of biological treatment with a TNF-alpha inhibitor (infliximab) in addition to corticosteroids reduce the time to grade ≤ 1 ir-colitis/diarrhoea compared to corticosteroids alone. Participants will be randomised 1:1: Arm A: All patients will receive same dose of methylprednisolone i.v. daily. Arm B: Patients allocated to Arm B will in addition receive infliximab i.v. day 1 or 2. Study patients are evaluated with blood samples, faecal samples and by sigmoidoscopy. Procedures are performed before randomisation and as part of follow up.

Although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is stable in North American and European countries, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing in newly industrialized countries, especially in China. The treatment drugs for ulcerative colitis include 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents. The aim of this exploratory Clinical Trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Several oral mesalazine (5-ASA) formulations exist, but the regimes require several tablets per day. Such regimens are not ideal and can interfere with normal daily activities of patients. Non-adherence has been associated with an increase in the risk of relapse and worse disease course; leading to a decrease in quality of life, an increase in societal and personal costs, and worst case increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, a new formula for 5-ASA has been approved by the Danish Medicine Agency, with a single tablet regime per day. Primary purpose: • To investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen for 5- ASA (1600 mg as one tablet per day [intervention]) improves adherence with preserved remission rates compared to conventional therapy. Secondary purposes: Compare levels of endoscopic, mucosal and histological inflammation in predicting risk of relapse between the intervention group and the conventional therapy group. Investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen improves the disease course compared to the conventional therapy. To assess the correlation between different endpoints and the disease courses, with the use of clinical, endoscopic, histological, self-reported and biochemical markers. Improve, correlate and assess patient-reported outcomes in a prospective manner. To establish a biobank of cases with quiescent/mild ulcerative colitis (UC) for identification of future biomarkers.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of budesonide extended-release tablets for the induction of remission in pediatric subjects, with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). Subjects will be permitted to continue taking background oral or rectal 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) products.

Although patients and physicians have shown tremendous interest in the effect of diet on ulcerative colitis, there is a lack of significant evidence for providers to make practical recommendations with. In this study, the investigators hope to find out if dietary therapy by either the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) or the Mediterranean diet will help improve ulcerative colitis symptoms for patients with mild to moderately active disease. In addition, the investigators will compare disease activity and changes in the intestinal bacterial composition in the colon that occur with the Mediterranean or the SCD diet in active ulcerative colitis. This study is proposed as a single-site randomized trial consisting of 10 study visits to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) over 12 weeks. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to the SCD or Mediterranean diet. The investigators ask that participants exclusively consume their assigned diet for 6 weeks, with all meals and snacks prepared by the metabolic kitchen within MGH. Participants will need to pick up food from MGH every 5-7 days, and will meet with a study dietitian before they begin and weekly during the diet therapy. There will be a screening visit to determine eligibility for the study, as well as study visits at weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and a 10 week follow-up at MGH, in which participants will fill out questionnaires. Participants will need to provide stool samples at screening, week 6, and week 10. In addition, blood will be drawn at week 0 and week 6, and if participants are getting a clinically-indicated colonoscopy at the time of screening, up to eight research biopsies may be collected during the procedure.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that results from immune dysregulation. Arguably, the development of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) antagonists (including infliximab, adalimumab and golimumab) revolutionized the management of immune-mediated chronic diseases in the past two decades. However, about one third of patients will not respond to a first anti-TNF treatment and 10% to 30% will loose response to anti-TNF during the follow-up. Historically, a switch between anti-TNF was performed to recapture remission and response to anti-TNF. Recently, a new biologic therapy blocking another target has been approved and is now reimbursed during ulcerative colitis, namely vedolizumab. Vedolizumab is an anti-integrin agent avoiding the recruitment of lymphocytes specifically in inflamed gut tissue. Emerging data suggest that a switch of therapeutic class (meaning a change of biologic target with Non-TNF-targeted biologic) in case of clinical failure or insufficient response to anti-TNF may be the best choice. This idea of a switch out of the anti-TNF class is also supported by data on drug monitoring that may help physician decision making in case of loss of response. However, no trial is currently available and ongoing to assess the best therapeutic strategy. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the best biological based strategy in patient losing response to a first subcutaneous anti-TNF (golimumab and/or adalimumab).

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a strategy that infuses a fecal suspension containing a healthy donor's microbiota into a patient's gut to restore his/her intestinal microbiome. Fecal microbiota transplantation has been used for several disease，but the efficacy of ulcerative colitis(UC) by fecal microbiota transplantation needs to be further explored.The investigators propose to determine the efficiency and safety of FMT in patients with ulcerative colitis(UC).

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABX464 given at 25 or 50 mg QD in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies [corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)] and/or advanced therapies [biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors].
