Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

Study CNI-1493-CD06 is an open, single-arm extension studies to CD03 and CD05. CDAI is the only efficacy measure assessed in this study. The safety of multiple courses of semapimod is to be determined by the incidence of clinical and laboratory adverse events.

Protocol 610 is enrolling subjects who successfully achieved clinical benefit (reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of at least 100 points) in Protocol 603. Protocol 610 is evaluating the length of initial effect of PROCHYMAL® adult human mesenchymal stem cells and the ability of these cells to successfully re-induce clinical benefit.

1 Project summary 1.1 Rational. Accent 1 study has demonstrated the superiority of Infliximab over placebo in a systematic treatment strategy of Crohn 's disease every 8 weeks during one year. However the optimal strategy beyond one year of treatment is not established. Particularly, the need for carrying on systematic treatment with infliximab in all the patients has not been demonstrated. 1.2 Primary objective. Determine factors associated with a low risk of clinical relapse after stopping infliximab in CD patients in remission (CDAI<150) and regularly treated with infliximab for at least one year. 1.3 Main objective and main judgement criteria. Determine predictive factors for relapse within one year after stopping infliximab. Main judgement criteria is the clinical relapse after stopping infliximab. Clinical relapse is defined either by a CDAI>250 or by a CDAI between 150 and 250 if this CDAI is confirmed over two consecutive weeks with an increase of at least 70 points over baseline for the two consecutive measures. 1.4 Secondary objectives and judgement criteria. Determine the time to-relapse Determine predictive factors for short-term relapse (<2 months)after stopping infliximab. Determine response to infliximab retreatment in these patients. Determine tolerance to infliximab retreatment in these patients. Determine predictive factors for an absence of response to retreatment. Determine predictive factors for infliximab retreatment intolerance. Determine sustained response in the retreated patients. 1.5 Type of study Open-label prospective study of stopping regular treatment. Inclusion period: minimum one year, possibly prolonged to reach 100 patients. Patients will be followed up every two months for at least 18 months after stopping infliximab. 1.6 Justification of the number of patients Number of patients to include is at least 100. This recruitment should be reached within one year. This number should allow to disclose predictive factors associated with a relative risk of at least 2 if this factor is equilibrated (50% at risk patients) or 3 is this factor is disequilibrated (90% at risk patients).

The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of EpanovaTM Soft Gelatin Capsules at a total daily dose of 4g (4x 1g capsules) to maintain remission (Crohn's Disease Activity Index CDAI < 150) in CD patients in whom remission, stable for at least three months and no longer than one year, has been induced by corticosteroids, azathioprine/6-MP, methotrexate, 5-ASA or antibiotics. Secondary objectives are to assess the: efficacy of Epanova versus placebo by Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Investigator and Subject Global Ratings, employment status and use of CD related medical visits in subjects with CD in remission safety and tolerability of Epanova ability of Epanova to maintain the quality of life of CD patients in remission

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of daily intravenous NI-0401 treatment, compared to matching placebo. And to assess the ability of NI-0401 to modulate the CD3 complex on T-cells.

A double blind, randomized, multi-center, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMPL-004 in patients with active moderate Crohn's Disease.

It is hypothesized that the opioid antagonist naltrexone will improve inflammation of the bowel and quality of life in subjects with active Crohn's disease compared to placebo. In order to test this hypothesis the following specific aims are proposed: Evaluate the effects of low dose naltrexone compared to placebo on the activity of Crohn's disease by the following end points: Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), pain assessment, laboratory values (CRP and ESR), endoscopic appearance, histology, and quality of life surveys; Examine the effects of naltrexone given over 3 months compared to 6 months for durability of response; Determine the safety and toxicity of low dose naltrexone in subjects with active Crohn's disease, and Study the mechanism by which naltrexone exerts its effect by measuring plasma enkephalin levels of subjects on therapy. Purpose statement: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of low dose naltrexone in a blinded placebo controlled study to determine the safety and efficacy of this compound in those with active Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of certolizumab pegol (CZP) treatment in children and adolescents with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Secondarily, to assess the long-term efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of CZP treatment in children and adolescents with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.

This study aims to test the hypothesis that the accelerated infusion of infliximab is not inferior to the conventional 2 hour infusion with respect to the frequency of infusion reaction.

This is an open-label extension study designed to measure the safety, efficacy, and corticosteroid-sparing effect of certolizumab pegol (CDP870) in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease previously enrolled in C87059 (COSPAR I, NCT00349752).
