Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

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 subject Novel Motorized Spiral Enteroscope (NMSE) represents a new technology which offers all of the advantageous options of spiral enteroscopy with a faster and less invasive approach. The system is similar to other currently marketed endoscopes in that it incorporates a flexible insertion tube, light source, digital imaging, and channels for passing accessories for sample collection or therapeutic interventions. The NMSE system is unique in that it incorporates a user-controlled motor contained in the endoscope's handle to rotate a spiral cuff located on the endoscope's insertion tube. Rotation of this cuff, which has soft spiral-shaped "fins", pleats the small bowel on to the endoscope's insertion tube, thereby allowing rapid and atraumatic access deep into the small bowel. The system also includes a display monitor, a motor control unit, device to display measured motor current and signal torque, and a set of foot pedals. Motorization of the Spiral Enteroscope and limitation of rotation to a short cuff instead of a long overtube promise to accelerate the procedure, to facilitate insertion and to improve maneuvering the instrument in comparison to conventional spiral enteroscopy

The purpose of this randomized, open-label, parallel, phase 2a study is to determine the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of olorinab in participants with Crohn's disease experiencing abdominal pain.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding low dose methotrexate to anti -TNF therapy is more effective than treatment with anti-TNF therapy alone in inducing and maintaining steroid-free remission for children with Crohn's Disease.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of adalimumab induction and maintenance treatment in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease in China.

The purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of vedolizumab in breast milk of lactating women with active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) who are receiving vedolizumab therapeutically.

The primary objective of the study was to investigate long-term safety of risankizumab (BI 655066/ABBV-066) in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who showed a clinical response or remission on previous treatment with risankizumab in Study NCT02031276 (BI trial 1311.6/ AbbVie M15-993) and were now receiving long-term treatment. Additional objectives of this study were to further investigate long-term efficacy, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of risankizumab.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract, " from the mouth to the anus ". . Cell therapy is a new and promising approach for the treatment of inflammatory disease including Crohn's disease and fistulas. Adipose tissue seems to be an ideal source for cell therapy. This is a prospective, open, non-comparative, single center, phase I-II clinical trial. It will involve 10 patients and will be conducted over a period of 28 month. This protocol is designed to evaluate, in patients with Crohn's disease and fistula-in-ano refractory to conventional medical and surgical treatment, the safety and efficacy of local microinjection of autologous adipose tissue and SVF from microaspirate . The main objective is to assess tolerance and security. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of subjects who are already prescribed Certolizumab Pergol therapy and have been self injecting with prefilled syringes for at least the previous three months, to safely and effectively self-inject Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) using the e-Device and to evaluate the post-use structural integrity of used devices and cassettes via visual examination.

A series of N-of-1 trials will be used to determine the effectiveness of a specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) versus a modified SCD in patients in reducing symptoms and inflammatory burden at both the individual and population level. This is a four-year study. The study staff will recruit up to 60 patients across up to 21 sites in patients aged 7-18 with mild to moderate disease activity.
