Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

18F-FDG PET/CT (2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, Positron emission tomography- CT) is a noninvasive technique that allows quantifying and precisely localizing 18F-FDG uptake in the entire body. 18F-FDG uptake is caused by increased local metabolic activity. Such increased uptake has been described not only in neoplastic lesions but also in inflammatory lesions. In this condition, uptake has been correlated with local stimulation of tumor necrosis factor, and with monocyte priming and activation. A physiologic variable uptake may be observed in the bowel, especially the cecum, and has limited the use of PET in inflammatory bowel diseases. The advantage of combined PET and CT devices lead to significant improvements in the interpretation of the bowel areas, and greatly reduces the number of false-positive findings in the gastrointestinal tract.

The purpose of this study is to assess the exam quality and accuracy of MR using a new oral contrast agent for the evaluation of Crohn Disease in the small bowel.

The purpose of this study is to produce a user-friendly tool- in the form of a questionnaire - to accurately assess early quality of life in patients after abdominal colorectal surgery from the first day after surgery to 6 months after. The study will also compare this questionnaire to the other currently available assessment tools. Patients are invited to participate if they are undergoing abdominal colorectal surgery at University Hospitals of Cleveland.

The descriptive purpose of this study is to characterize clinical and nonclinical factors of participants with CD, participant flow and visits to other specialists in the hospitals of the healthcare network of the Autonomous Community of Madrid with implementation of electronic medical records. The clinical and nonclinical factors include: demographic and baseline clinical characteristics, lifestyle, relapses, complications, day hospital visits, surgery, presence of complications such as perianal fistulas and complex perianal fistulas. The predictive purpose of this study is to develop a statistical predictive model with the information obtained from the descriptive purpose, in the hospitals of the healthcare network of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, capable of assigning any participant diagnosed with CD a probability of reaching a prototypical clinical condition or a probability of experiencing certain clinical complications.

Blood clots occurring in the legs and in the lungs are relatively common; they occur in around 3 in a 1000 people per year. They can cause disability and are also potentially life threatening. When a clot occurs in the legs it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When they occur in the lungs they are called a pulmonary embolism or PE. The risk for DVT and PE is higher in people with conditions which cause inflammation. The most common of these are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (a condition comprised of psoriasis and joint inflammation). What is not known is how much higher the risk of DVT and PE is in these groups compared with people without inflammatory disease, and what causes the excess risk in these people. This study aims to assess the measure the exact increase in risk for DVT and PE in people with these inflammatory conditions and to identify which risk factors are most strongly associated with the increased risk. These data should help with an understand the causes of blood clot risk in these inflammatory conditions and in identify targets for reducing risk.

Crohn's disease(CD),a type of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), is a chronic intestinal recurrent inflammatory disease involving the entire digestive tract. And Ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody against the p40 subunit of interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, is a newly targeted drug approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease in recent years.Based on the high-throughput imaging characteristic analysis technique, this study quantitatively analyzed the transmural inflammation of Crohn's disease, and discussed its prognostic value in the treatment of Ustekinumab, and further analyzed the increment of its relative clinical index.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of AbbVie Care 2.0 on adalimumab's compliance, patient reported outcomes and utilization of health resources over 12 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine how relevant dynamic ultrasound scans using contrast agents (SonoVue) is in the diagnosis of Crohns disease in the small bowel, compared to dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the small bowel.

Hypothesis This study is designed as an integral part of the development of a new CE score for Crohn's disease. The SB (small bowel) CD (Crohn's Disease)Niv score (CECDAI) is an established and validated CD score for SB involvement. In order to expand this score to the colon, this study will aim to develop the colonic score and later on will be combined with the already established SB score in order to achieve a full CE gut score for Crohn's disease Proposed Design This is a retrospective study in which up to 30 videos of colon Crohn's disease subjects who have undergone the Colon 2 CE procedure will be evaluated. These cases will have evidence of large and / or small bowel Crohn's disease The chosen videos will be marked for CD lesions by the site The de-identified marked videos will be scored by 4 independent experienced endoscopists, blinded to the results of the standard workup procedures, according to the colonic and CECDAIic new scores

The purpose of the study is to develop a validated French version of the IBDQ in a cohort of patients suffering from Inflammatory bowel diseases, namely Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
