Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

There are many anecdotal reports about improvement of Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with cannabis smoking. The most effective anti inflammatory compound known today is cannabidiol. cannabidiol can be extracted from the cannabis plant, it has no central effect and is fat soluble so it can be given as drops in oil. Doses of up to 500mg did not cause any side effects. The aim of the proposed study is to examine in a double blind placebo controlled fashion the effect of cannabidiol on disease activity in patients with IBD.

The study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical effect of daily oral treatment of Laquinimod capsules in active moderate to severe Crohn's disease. This study will assess Laquinimod doses of 0.5mg /day to 2 mg/day in sequential dose groups (cohorts). Laquinimod is a novel immunomodulating drug which is currently in advanced stages of development by Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd. for Multiple Sclerosis.

This study provides open-label drug to eligible patients who have completed a prior study of PF-00547659. The primary endpoint for this study is long-term safety.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a probiotic formulation, VSL#3, on intestinal permeability in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease.

Subjects must be 18- 75 years old and have a history of both inflammatory bowels disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) and pyoderma gangrenosum. This is a 6 month open label study of an intravenous (IV) medication. Visits occur every 2 weeks initially, then every 1-2 months later in the study.

Background: Up to 30% of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease have decreased bone strength, or decrease bone density, called osteopenia. Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that have been well studied and found to be effective in the treatment of osteopenia in menopausal women. Zoledronate is a very potent third generation bisphosphonate, that is safe and easy to administer, and has been found effective in the treatment of menopausal women with osteopenia. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that zoledronate can improve bone density in children and adolescents with Crohn's disease with osteopenia.

The objectives were: (1) To demonstrate the efficacy of adalimumab in the long-term maintenance of clinical remission in participants with Crohn's disease; and (2) To delineate the long-term safety of adalimumab when administered to participants with Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety of Adalimumab in Pediatric Subjects With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine whether mesalazine or budesonide is more active in the treatment of active Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CCX282-B is effective in treating patients with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease.
