Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

To assess the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous vagal stimulation in adult patients with active Crohn's disease.

Background: Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is an immune system disease. People with SCN do not have enough of a kind of white blood cell called neutrophils. This means they get sick easily from infections. Some drugs to treat SCN have lots of side effects. Researchers want to see if a the drug empagliflozin can help increase the number of neutrophils in a person with SCN. Objective: To see if a drug called empagliflozin can help people with SCN. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with SCN. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood tests. They may have a pregnancy test. Participants will have study visits and local lab visits. They will repeat the screening tests. They will have heart and lung function tests. They will have an ultrasound of the liver and spleen. Their skin symptoms will be photographed. They may have consultations with specialists. They may give a stool sample. They may have an optional colonoscopy with tissue sample collection. They may have an optional bone marrow biopsy and aspirate. They may have an optional magnetic resonance imaging scan of their heart. Participants will be admitted to NIH for 5 7 days. They will start taking the study drug as a pill once daily. They will be monitored for side effects. Participants will take the study drug at home for 12 months. They will use a fingerstick blood glucose meter to measure blood sugar at home. Participants may be able to take the study drug through their local doctor after the study ends. Participation will last for 15 months.

Protocol Summary Title: A Phase I study of ExoFlo, an ex vivo culture-expanded adult allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicle isolate product, for the treatment of medically refractory Crohn's disease. Short Title: ExoFlo for Crohn's Disease Phase: 1 Methodology: Open label Study Duration: 24 months Subject Participation: 58 weeks Single or Multi-Site: Multi-Site

This study will evaluate if the Groningen Anti-Inflammatory Diet and the ileocolonic delivery of vitamin B2, B3 and C can positively influence the course of Crohn's disease and can positively alter the gut microbiome of Crohn's disease patients as well as healthy volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and endoscopic efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in Chinese participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.

This is an extension study to evaluate safety and efficacy of ozanimod in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.

This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.

Crohn's Disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It can lead to significant complications and discomfort in the stomach and intestines. Crohn's disease is a debilitating, incurable disease of immune cells; it affects almost 1 million people in the United States. CD is characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestine as well as organs outside of the intestines such as the skin, eyes, and joints. Current therapies to treat CD aim to suppress the patient's immune cells but these therapies become ineffective for the majority of patients and lead to complications including the requirement for surgical bowel resection, impaired quality of life, and lifelong disability. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a procedure used to treat a number of medical conditions including Crohn's disease. To improve success of HCT in CD doctors considered combining transplant with other drugs to improve the chances of achieving remission and also maintaining the remission. The Investigators' plan in this study is to incorporate the drug Vedolizumab after transplant to test if this drug will improve remission and make patients healthier. Patients may qualify to take part in this research study because Crohn's disease is active, because surgery is not a treatment option and because there is evidence that the disease has failed to respond to treatments for Crohn's disease including the following: corticosteroids azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate Anti-TNFα (infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab, golimumab) Anti-integrin agents (natalizumab, Vedolizumab) If patients meet entry criteria will undergo a baseline endoscopy, colonoscopy and MR or CT enterography. If documentation of active mucosal disease patients will then be tapered off of current medications and undergo stem cell mobilization. Mobilization will involve low dose chemotherapy, growth factors and require 1-2 week hospitalization. Patients will then undergo stem cell transplant which will involve high dose chemotherapy and require a 2-4 week hospitalization. After restoration of the immune system patients will be placed on vedolizumab per standard dosing (0,2,6 then 8 every weeks) for a total of 8 doses. Patients will have monthly study visits and a repeat colonoscopy and MR/CT scan at 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of using adult allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), to treat people for medically refractory perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease.

The investigators will be administering oral high dose interval vitamin D, concurrently when participants are receiving biologic therapy for their inflammatory bowel disease. The investigators will be collecting some additional bloodwork and questionnaires at the time of participants infusions.
