A Study Evaluating Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

Crohn Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-active as measured by the change in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score and Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) from baseline at Week 12.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Severe or Refractory Inflammatory and/or Autoimmune...

Crohn's Disease

This project aims to assess safety and efficacy of allogeneic Mesenchymal stem Cell (MSC) in Crohn's disease refractory or intolerant to conventional therapies. Twenty patients with active refractory Crohn's disease defined by a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) > 220 despite conventional treatment will be included over 4 years in this phase I-II trial. This will be a pilot open label trial. Patients will be treated with 2 successive injections of allogeneic MSC at baseline and 4 weeks later. Patients will be followed up at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12.

Vitamin D Levels in Children With IBD

Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseCrohn's Disease1 more

Research has shown that children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease may have lower levels of vitamin D than healthy children, especially in the winter. Vitamin D is important for growing and maintaining healthy bones throughout life, and this is particularly important, since children with IBD frequently have low bone density. It may also be helpful in the treatment of IBD itself, because it helps reduce inflammation. Vitamin D levels are measured by the amount of 25 OHD in the blood; however, measuring this level on a regular basis is not yet the standard for children with IBD. The purpose of this study is to find the best way to treat low vitamin D levels, and to maintain good vitamin D levels throughout the year. It will also test whether having higher vitamin D levels will improve the bone health of children with IBD, and whether it will help them have milder disease.

Effect of Increlex® on Children With Crohn Disease

Crohn Disease

Patients with Crohn disease often have poor weight gain and short stature, yet the etiology of the poor growth is not well defined. Studies in chronically ill patients who do not have Crohn disease have suggested that inflammation causes IGF-1 deficiency due to inadequate IGF-1 generation. Previous studies of GH use in Crohn patients have demonstrated improvement in linear growth, weight and bone mineralization. However, GH can cause glucose intolerance in chronically ill children, particularly those who require treatment with corticosteroids. Recently the FDA has approved recombinant IGF-1 (rhIGF) for treatment of IGF-1 deficient short stature. This medication has not been studied in Crohn disease. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that poor growth in Crohn disease is associated abnormal IGF-1 generation which leads to poor linear growth, decreased weight and osteoporosis and that replacement of IGF-1 with rhIGF will correct growth and improve bone density. To test our hypothesis we will recruit 20 patients with Crohn disease from our pediatric gastroenterology practice. Each will have been previously diagnosed with Crohn disease for a minimum of one year and will be studied at baseline and six month intervals for one year while on treatment with Increlex.

A Study of Abatacept in Patients With Active Crohn's Disease

Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept can improve signs and symptoms of active Crohn's Disease in patients who have not had an adequate response to other therapies. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

Growth Hormone in Children With Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) and With Crohn's Disease

ArthritisJuvenile Rheumatoid1 more

The investigators hypothesize that the anabolic effects of Genotropin (somatropin) will improve the height and weight of children with inflammatory based chronic illness who have failed to grow despite receiving adequate nutrition. The investigators will test the hypothesis by treating 32 chronically ill children (16 JRA and 16 Crohn's) with growth hormone (GH) for 12 months and comparing them to baseline.

Long-term Study of Endoscopic Treatment of Stenosis in Crohn´s Disease

Crohn DiseaseStenosis

Stenosis is one of the most frequent complications in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), causing greater morbidity and increasing the probability of repeated surgery and short bowel syndrome. Several endoscopic techniques, as an alternative to surgery, have been used in the treatment of fibrostenotic CD, with similar efficacy and lower risk of complications. The ProtDilat study (NCT02395354) showed that both endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are efficient and safe for the treatment of stenosis in CD, while EBD shows therapeutic superiority (80.5 vs 51.3 %) at one year follow-up. However, this difference was not observed in the subanalysis of patients with stenosis > 3 cm (EBD: 66.7% vs SEMS: 63.6%) but with a lower cost for EBD (EDB 1,365.63 euros versus SEMS 1,923.55 euros). Therefore, SEMS could be a suitable treatment option for longer stenoses in which EBD has proven to be less efficacious. Moreover, the long-term efficacy of both endoscopic treatments is still debated with scare information and without data from a clinical trial. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy of EBD and SEMS, through the follow-up of the patients included in the ProtDilat study, being the primary objective of the study the percentage of patients free of surgical intervention at the end of follow-up. Retrospective study based on data from the ProtDilat trial (patients with CD, obstructive symptoms, with stenosis < 10cm). Data on medical, endoscopic and surgical treatment and smoking habits are collected.

Precision Crohn's Disease Management Utilizing Predictive Protein Panels (ENvISION)

Crohn's DiseaseIBD

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect about 1.6 to 3 million people in the United States with many of those being young children and adolescents. Physicians need better ways to inform decisions on therapy selection and recognize ongoing intestinal injury while on treatment. The main reason for this research study is to see if a blood test or stool test, which measures specific proteins, taken just before starting a new treatment for Crohn's disease can predict a patient's ability to achieve complete intestinal healing. The investigators also want to see if the intensity of gut inflammation can be detected by measuring a separate set of proteins in the blood.
