Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

This study is only for the first in human phase 1a study designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of LIV001 in healthy participants. LIV001 will be investigated for the safety and efficacy in participants with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in a phase 1b study.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the efficacy and outcome of the UCRI (an in-vitro diagnostics device in the form of a blood test and an algorithm) as a tool to detect mucosal healing (level of inflammation in the colon) in people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis treated with anti-TNFα. Another reason is to explore additional biomarkers in blood, stool or voice to detect disease activity and/or mucosal healing. A tool to detect the level of inflammation in the colon based on blood, stool or voice biomarkers may reduce the need or the number of invasive endoscopic procedures. This is an observational study and no treatment decision nor clinical intervention will be done based on results during this study and all collected data will be used only for the goal of the study and for obtaining FDA IDE for a follow-up study.

Over the last decade, the use of mini-organ or organoids has been increasingly developed in fundamental research. Indeed, digestive organoids represent an essential advance compared to classical culture systems (epithelial cell lines, immortalized cells) since they preserve in culture the functional complexity present in vivo (architecture, different cell types). They also have the advantage of being able to be propagated indefinitely (unlike explants), minimizing the use of animal models and reducing the amount of tissue required. Finally, their growth and development depends on the origin of the sample (the organoid will develop differently if the cell source comes from a patient suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease, for example), thus generating models of human pathologies to better determine their physiopathology. The use of organoids in biomedical research has proven to be an indispensable tool for the understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in epithelial renewal and the screening of molecules and ingredients for applications in the health and agri-food sectors.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by diffuse, continuous inflammation of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective mesalamine delayed-release capsules are in treating pediatric participants with UC. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Delzicol (Mesalamine) is an approved drug being developed for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Around 80 Pediatric participants aged 5 to 17 years with a diagnosis of UC will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites in the United States. Participants will receive oral mesalamine capsules twice daily for 26 weeks and followed for 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This study is therefore postulated as a clear alternative that evaluates patients´quality of life, and recognises fecal calprotectin as an inflammatory marker. Longitudinal, prospective, multi-center cohort study to measure the impact that the therapeutic attitude (treatment intensification/de-intensification o escalation/de-escalation) has on the quality of life of patients with UC given a colonoscopy revealing mucosal healing (Mayo 0, Mayo 1); considering as treatment intensification/de-intensification a dose increase or decrease on the same line of treatment, and escalation/de-escalation if there is a change to a new line of treatment.

The NUCaCD study aims to develop a reliable registry of patients suffering inflammatory bowel diseases in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The investigators intend to screen for new donors, given that there may a donor effect (PubMed ID: 25857665), with some donors not inducing remission in any patient whilst others inducing remission in 20-40% of cases. It is important to give UC patients participating in RCTs stool that has been demonstrated to be effective in some patients. We therefore propose to conduct an open label study in patients with active UC to ensure new donors are effective at inducing remission in some patients. Patients that have FMT will relapse within 18 months (PubMed ID: 25857665) although further FMT therapy induces remission so it is possible that maintenance FMT will result in long term remission, but this needs evaluation. We will therefore follow UC patients that have responded to FMT long term in this open label study.

This randomised trial plans to compare oral tofacitinib with intravenous cyclosporine in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis who have failed to respond to intravenous steroids

The study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of frozen FMT delivery via retention enema compared to lyophilized powder given in oral capsules as induction FMT in subjects with active UC. This study will also determine changes in microbiome (diversity and genera) and proportion of antibody-coated microbiota from baseline to after completion of FMT.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic, inflammatory disease affecting the colon. Participants with UC have mucosal inflammation starting in the rectum that can extend continuously to proximal segments of the colon. This study will assess how safe and effective Rinvoq is in treating adult participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Rinvoq is a drug approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). All study participants will receive Rinvoq as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Approximately 300 adult participants will be enrolled in Japan. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 60 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
