Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the investigational drug 683699 in treating subjects with moderately to severely active CD (Crohn's Disease).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of natalizumab in individuals diagnosed with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. It is thought that natalizumab may stop the movement of certain cells, known as white blood cells, into bowel tissue. These cells are thought to cause damage in the bowel leading to the symptoms of Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to see if etiprednol dicloacetate is safe and effective for the treatment of acute Crohn's disease.

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy and safety of 4-aminosalicylic acid in patients with active Crohn's disease of the small bowel.

Crohn's Disease (CD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory diseases. Ustekinumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Ustekinumab is expensive and primary non-response is high in both CD and psoriasis. Currently, there are no predictors of response to ustekinumab and the actual mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. To clarify the mechanism of action and gain a better understanding of the high primary non-response rates, the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) developed a tracer fluorescently labeling ustekinumab. This study aims to gain insight into ustekinumab distribution and concentrations in the gut. The current study aims to identify the ustekinumab target cells in the inflamed gut mucosa and skin using quantitative fluorescence molecular endoscopy (qFME). By gaining insight into local ustekinumab concentrations, drug distribution, and by discovering target cells, we expect to gain insight into the mechanism of action of ustekinumab.

The main aim of the study is to observe adult participants in South Korea that are being treated with vedolizumab injected just under the skin (subcutaneous or SC) to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an in-adequate response with, lost response to, or had too many side effects in response to either conventional therapy or a Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist. This study will observe the side effects and potential benefit to UC and CD participants related to vedolizumab SC treatment with data collection from medical files. There is no treatment involved in this study, this is only an observational review of current collected data relating to adults in South Korea with UC or CD treated with vedolizumab SC.

A randomized controlled study which aims to improve the quality of life of Crohn's disease adult patients suffering from mild to moderate level of symptoms. Patients will be randomized to Intervention or Wait-List groups and will undergo eight Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness, one on one, sessions with a social worker via SkypeTM. The Intervention group will receive intervention upon recruitment while the Wait-List group will receive the same intervention after 3 months. Clinical, biological and psycho-social data will be collected at four time points over the 12-months of the study.

Methotrexate is one of the immunosuppressants used in chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is indicated as monotherapy for induction and maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), or in combination with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents for prevention of immunization. The main objective is to assess the persistence rate of methotrexate treatment in patients followed for chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Given the bidirectionality between psychological distress and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereby increased psychological distress exacerbates disease activity and vice versa, psychosocial aspects of IBD care are receiving increased attention. However, proposed interventions are generally resource-intensive and have been tested in majority white populations. While people of color are an increasing segment of the IBD population, they are currently underrepresented in research studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among IBD patients of color with elevated psychological distress.

This trial aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of humanised antibody GSK1070806 delivered via intravenous infusion in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. 30-36 patients will be enrolled into the trial, with two thirds of the patients receiving active drug and one third receiving placebo. After 30 patients have been recruited into the study the sample size will be reassessed and up to an additional 6 patients could be recruited (i.e. up to 36 patients).
