Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

New types of biologics have brought advantages in therapy strategies for Crohn's disease. However, clinical data evaluating their efficacy and adverse in China is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the short-term and long-term therapeutic effect as well as drug adverse of Ustekinumab (UST) and Vedolizumab (VED). Besides, we aim to figure out the independent factors predicting the effectiveness of new biologics. Relations between drug exposure (trough concentration and antibody concentration) and therapeutic efficacy are study in-depth by this retrospective observational study.

This randomized clinical trial studies how well neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride with or without polyethylene glycol work in reducing infection in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. Polyethylene glycol, may draw water from the body into the colon, flushing out the contents of the colon. Antibiotics, like neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride, may stop bacteria from growing. It is not yet known whether it's better to give preoperative neomycin and metronidazole hydrochloride with or without polyethylene glycol in reducing surgical site infection after colorectal surgery.

Vedolizumab has been approved for the treatment of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The aim of this study is to capture the early real life UK experience of vedolizumab including the outcomes of treatment, describing the patient population treated, drug persistence, IBD control PROM, durable remission, tolerance and safety.

No technique by placing a tube through anus into cecum for whole colon administration. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) through whole colon.

Anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized management of Inflammatory bowel disease. Their common features include high efficacy but also immunogenicity and increased infection risk. Since 2013, two generics or biosimilars of the first anti-TNF have been registered in Europe, which long lerm safety profile needs yet to be established. This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study will assess safety of treatment of anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies in inflammatory bowel disease patients in Poland. Eligible are consecutive patients in whom anti-TNF is started for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or indeterminate colitis between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2015. Data to be collected include demography, Montreal classification, indication to treatment, previous treatment, operations, extraintestinal manifestations and concomitant diseases. Data on response, tolerability and safety of anti-TNF and on concomitant treatment will be collected. Adverse events logs will be completed. Majority of IBD centres in Poland, pediatric and adult, academic and regional, have agreed to participate in the study. As a result of the study, the frequency of adverse events in a cohort of Polish IBD patients on various anti-TNFs will be established.

There is little data published on the long term durability of infliximab in pediatric patients. In particular a focus on durable remission, frequency of dose/frequency change and switch within class. Moreover 10 years of safety experience is rarely reported in children. The overall objective is to evaluate the persistence of infliximab as well as dosing strategies in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and safety of infliximab Regarding persistence of infliximab the investigators will be focusing on the proportion of patients who continue to have a durable response or remission to infliximab. The investigators will be assessing this by measuring the frequency of dose escalation, proportion of patients needing frequency change and proportion of patients switched to adalimumab or certolizumab. Safety outcomes will focus on frequency of malignancies, infections and immunogenecity

Background: Bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the intestines (the gut microbiome) play an important role in a person s health. The gut microbiome helps to regulate the immune system and control inflammation. Imbalances in the gut microbiome have been linked to illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). People diagnosed with IBD can have serious health problems. Researchers want to know more about how the gut microbiome affects the development and progression of IBD in children. In this natural history study, they will compare the gut microbiomes of healthy children with those who have IBD. Objective: To collect stool and samples of intestine tissue from children with and without IBD undergoing colonoscopy. Eligibility: People under 21 years old who are having a colonoscopy at the Inova Health System or Pediatric Specialists of Virginia. Design: Participants will fill out a questionnaire. They will answer questions about their history. Topics may include how they were fed as infants; how they were born; and how often they took antibiotics. Stool and tissue samples from the intestines will be taken during the participants colonoscopy. They may also give samples of blood and urine. Participants may be asked to provide additional stool, blood, and urine samples. They may do this up to 3 times per year. These samples may be collected at the clinic; they may also be collected at home and mailed to the researchers. If they have more colonoscopies, participants may be asked for more tissue samples. Participants will be enrolled for up to 10 years. ...

This study is being done to assess the clinical course and treatment options for Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in the populations of Eastern Europe, Middle East, and North Africa.

The purpose of this study is to develop a predictive model that will allow optimized dosing of infliximab for individual patients

The aim is to examine the role of intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)
