Active clinical trials for "Colitis"

The Ulcerative Colitis (UC) belongs to the group of diseases called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) which is characterized by a chronic ulceration of the colon. The conventional treatment can have adverse effects and does not guarantee effectiveness in some patients requiring aggressive therapy using adjuvant therapy Aloe vera has been shown to have a beneficial effect in different disease, and have an anti-inflammatory effect in UC patients. Objective: Measuring the effect of the consumption of 200 ml of aloe vera gel daily for a period of three months, in the degree of inflammation in patients with mild UC based on Mayo scale and quantification of IL-6 in the colonic mucosa.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to two chronic diseases that cause intestinal inflammation, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The conventional treatment is not effective; therefore, alternative therapies may be effective specially in UC patients. Fatty acid (FA) may have a beneficial effect on some UC patients. The increasing incidence and prevalence of UC and ineffective treatments in some patients, allows search coadjuvant therapies. Objective: Quantification of differences between patients with and without FA. Methods: In two groups of patients with UC is administered FA and placebo. We will measure the changes clinical, endoscopic and histological in both groups, before and after treatment.

There are many limitations in the current treatments of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Now the investigators realized that the intestinal microecological is closely associated with the development of IBD. So the standardized fecal microbiota transplantation is considered to be simple but effective emerging therapies for the treatment of IBD. In this project the investigators intend to carry out a single-center, randomized, single-blind clinical intervention study. The investigators will recruit 40 patients with IBD (20 cases of Ulcerative Colitis and 20 cases of Crohn's disease) in China. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, one group will be given treatment of standardized fecal microbiota transplantation, the other will be simply treated with mesalazine, followed up for at least 1 year. The investigators propose to determine the efficiency, durability and safety of Standardized Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for IBD treatment.

This double-blind, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase II study is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of Zoenasa Rectal Gel compared to mesalamine enema in subjects with left-sided ulcerative colitis, as measured by the modified ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UCDAI), over 6 weeks of treatment. In this study, two cohorts of subjects will receive either Zoenasa-1:4 (1.0g NAC; 4.0g 5-ASA) investigational drug enema therapy or comparator mesalamine enema (4.0g 5-ASA). The study will enroll subjects randomized equally into the 2 cohorts. Each cohort will enroll approximately 60 subjects. The two arms of the trial will be enrolled concurrently in a randomized fashion.

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group multi-center study in adult patients with active moderate to severe UC . Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to one of two treatment groups, bertilimumab 10 mg/kg or matching placebo, respectively

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical benefit and tolerability of adalimumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor α (TNF- α), in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) naive to treatment with biologics.

This retrospective multi-centric Belgian prospective trial will involve 10 patients initiating or under maintenance subcutaneous golimumab therapy for moderate-to-severe colitis at the University Hospitals Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) or AZ Groeninge (Kortrijk, Belgium) Patients will (have) receive(d) standard induction therapy with golimumab 200mg at week 0, and golimumab 100mg at week 2. Maintenance therapy will (have) start(ed) at week 6, with 50 or 100mg of golimumab every 4 weeks, depending on body weight (50mg every 4 weeks for patients with a body weight of less than 80kg, and 100mg for the others) Patients will come to the hospital for clinical evaluation, blood sampling and golimumab administration following daily clinical practice. The patients will be requested to perform several dry blood spot analyses at home.

Adult individuals with ulcerative colitis in remission are given a single fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in colonoscopy. A half of the patients will receive autologous FMT as a placebo and a half will receive an FMT from a healthy donor.

The purpose of this study is to study development of dysplasia in the ileal mucosa among patients with Ulcerative Colitis and who previous have hade risk factors for developing cellular changes/dysplasia, i.e. previous dysplasia and/or carcinoma in their specimen.

The hypothesis of this study is that an altered gut microbiota is a contributory factor in initiating an inflammatory process in the colonic mucosa leading to collagenous colitis. The investigators suggest that treatment with budesonide reduces the inflammation without treating the underlying cause. In this trial the investigators will try to modullate gut microbiota by adding rifaximin. The aim of this study is to assess if 4 weeks treatment with rifaximin as a supplement to a standard course of budesonide against active CC can reduce the risk of relapse after treatment cessation.
