Active clinical trials for "Inflammatory Bowel Diseases"

An ileostomy is a surgical opening established by bringing the end or a loop of the ileum to discharge directly outside the body. This is typically done when part or the entire colon is removed because of IBD, cancer, or familial adenomatous polyposis. Reversal of this procedure, an ileostomy closure, may be done if possible. Ileostomy closure involves reconnecting the ileum to the remaining colon, allowing normal bowel movements again. This study will look at the outcomes of these surgeries in patients who were seen and operated on by the investigators.

Procedure is offered today to most patients with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who are candidates for total proctocolectomy. While high rates of successful pouch surgery are reported, there is a significant long-term risk of pouch-related complications including ileo-anal anastomotic separation and stricture, pouch-perineal and pouch-vaginal fistula, pouchitis, pelvic sepsis, small bowel obstruction, and pouch dysfunction. Despite recent advances in treatment of these complications by medical and surgical means, these problems can still lead to pouch failure and pouch excision. The long-term rate of pouch excision is reported in large series to range from 5.3% to 24%. Moreover, the burden of quality of life impairment on patients with these complications is immense. Pouch excision operations are technically difficult with substantial morbidity. This study aimed to investigate the indications for pouch excision, the number of salvage operations prior to these excisions and complications of pouch excision surgeries.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the development of anti-drug antibody to biosimilar CT-P13 and to assess the change of drug concentration for 1 year in patients with moderately to severe inflammatory bowel disease.

Up to two hundred un-identified PillCam SB movies will be collected from 2 clinical sites, during up to 3 years and transferred to Given Imaging. Demographical data and medical history will be collected. Capsule transit time in the different sections of the GI will be evaluated.

Malnutrition and growth retardation are major extraintestinal presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in childhood and are especially prevalent among those with Crohn's disease. We aimed to evaluate nutritional status of children with IBD at the time of diagnosis.

The main aim of this study is to check the disease activity in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Participants will complete questionnaires about their disease and quality of life on Day 1 clinic visit. They will do this during a standard scheduled appointment with their doctor. Some of this study will also involve collecting information about participants from their medical records.

To find out what adaptations have been made by Inflammatory bowel disease physicians and patients in relation to therapies in flaring IBD patients during severe acute respiratory syndrome 2-COV and what the impact of these is on IBD patients with no symptomatic COVID-19 and in suspected/confirmed COVID-19. Also whether there any IBD related factors impacting the outcome of patients with COVID-19 symptoms or COVID-19 disease

Whether the perceived changes in management of Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis during the COVID pandemic are widespread, and whether they have any impact on patient outcomes

The goal of this study is to better understand the mechanisms responsible for the development of and the severity of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, which cause inflammation of the gut as well as potentially affecting other areas of the body

The objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.
