Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

The purpose of this study is to assess effectiveness of vedolizumab versus ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease and vedolizumab versus tofacitinib in patients with ulcerative colitis, after non-response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) medications, using data from two existing cohorts.

This study is intended to investigate the safety and efficacy of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition (PN) for patients with Crohn's disease.

The aim of this study is to evaluate if an intraoperative protocol for Ultrasound scan (USS) is feasible and safe in patients undergoing elective surgery for ileocolic CD. The results of this study could guide the development of a larger randomised trial.

This study is designed to explore the expression of cell-surface markers in the following seven disease areas: (a) systemic lupus erythematosus, (b) Sjogren's syndrome, (c) multiple sclerosis, (d) systemic sclerosis, (e) Crohn's disease, (f) ulcerative colitis and (g) inflammatory myositis.

A feasibility study for assessing and recording myoelectric activity in patients for early detection of flare in patients with Crohn's disease and differentiating the myoelectric signals from Crohn's disease patients in remission state and healthy controls.

The diagnosis of LAP (lesions Ano-perineal) requires the inspection, palpation, anoscopy and possibly additional examinations including endoscopy and imaging; any of these steps of the diagnosis can only be replaced by another. In the absence of data in the literature on the evaluation of specific LAP Crohn inspection, Clemence Horaist et al established definitions of these lesions inspection with the help of an expert group, then evaluated the diagnostic agreement LAP these definitions in the same group from a selection of photographs. Definitions ulceration, fistula, inflammatory external os, erythema and abscess had an acceptable agreement diagnosis (kappa> 0.70) The LAP is a predictor of severe Crohn's disease, hepato any gastroenterologist it is appropriate that recognizes and adopts adequate care, this care has been a consensus in 2014. The interns Hepato gastroenterology must learn during their training to know the terminology of LAP Crohn inspection and to recognize so considered acceptable by experts.

The study aimed to prove EEN is effective for inducing early clinical remission, mucosal healing, promoting fistula closure and reducing the size of abscess to adult CD patients. They plan to include about 50 patients and observe the effect of EEN.

The objective of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to evaluate the effectiveness of adalimumab plus the AbbVie Care 2.0 patient support program in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in the routine clinical setting in Hungary.

People with inflammatory diseases treated with immune-suppressing medication are recommended to have regular blood-tests to monitor for potential side-effects of this treatment on their blood count, liver and kidneys. However, it is not clear that monitoring is needed as frequently as currently recommended in the long-term, with side-effects being rare after one year of treatment. A study is currently underway to determine the optimal blood-test monitoring strategy which is cost-effective but still safe. Any changes in the monitoring strategy must be acceptable to patients and the healthcare professionals (HCP) that treat them. This study aims to measure how often patients' with common inflammatory conditions on long-term immune suppressing medication attend their monitoring blood tests as currently recommended, and uncover patients' and HCP views and experiences of the current blood-test monitoring strategy, and the acceptability of potential changes to this in the future. Firstly, patients with an inflammatory condition on long-term immune suppressing treatment will be invited to complete a questionnaire which will ask about their demographic information, medical condition(s), immune-suppressing treatment, adherence to the monitoring blood tests and willingness to take part in an interview. Then, both patients and HCPs who care for such patients will be invited to take part in a single, semi-structured interview. Interviews will be face-to-face, by telephone or video-call, last up to one hour and digitally audio-recorded. Patient interviews will explore their perceptions of risk, benefits and experiences of current testing, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. HCP interviews will explore their perceptions of current testing including, the practicalities, usefulness, risks and benefits of the blood tests, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. The findings will shape the recommendations for a new monitoring strategy, ensuring it is acceptable to patients and HCPs.

This is a non-interventional, retrospective study of adult participants with IBD. IBD consists of either ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The study will review the clinical data previously collected during February 2007 to March 2020 of approximately 724 participants who have had treatment with adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab, or vedolizumab in Taiwan.
