Ulcerative ColitisThis study is designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of mirikizumab in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
The Influence of a Fasting Mimicking Diet on Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseDiet Modification1 moreThe purpose of this study is to see how a diet that mimics fasting effects inflammation in patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The diet may allow users to receive the benefits of fasting while also being able to enjoy food (the ingredients of which are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Research on dietary interventions and UC are very limited. Fasting mimicking diets (FMD) have been studied with support of the National Institute of Health and published in leading journals. This research investigates whether markers of inflammation decrease and/or quality of life increases after three cycles of a five-day period of the fasting mimicking diet, and may provide rationale for its use to treat UC.
A Study to Evaluate MORF-057 in Adults With Moderately to Severely Active UC
Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesColitis1 moreThis is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three active dose regimens of MORF-057 in adult patients with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
ChitoCare Medical Wound Healing Gel PMCF Study on Healing of Chronic Wounds
Diabetic Foot UlcerVenous Leg Ulcer1 moreThe purpose of this PMCF study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ChitoCare medical Wound Healing Gel for the healing of chronic wounds. The study will enroll patients with diabetic foot ulcer, venous ulcer or pressure ulcer. Patients will be randomly assigned to an active or control group. The active group will apply the gel to the wound, in addition to the standard of care, while the control group will receive only standard care. The study will last from 3 to 18 months for an individual patient (15-month recruitment period and 3 months of follow-up after the last patient is enrolled) or until event occurrence (complete wound healing/exclusion from the study). The study envisages four visits: Visit 1 - Screening and Inclusion visit, Visit 2 (after 4 weeks), Visit 3 (after 12 weeks) and Visit 4 - End of Study Visit: The final visit will take place when the event occurs (complete healing/exclusion from study). On each visit, the patients will have their wound photographed and assessed after debridement. Adverse events will be followed throughout the whole study.
Multi-Center, Randomized Controlled Clinical Investigation Evaluating the Effect of Adipose Tissue...
Diabetic Foot UlcerThis is a randomized controlled multi center study on diabetic patients with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of the adipose tissue processed with the SyntrFuge™ system in diabetic patients with diabetic foot ulcers. In particular, it will be evaluated whether the microsized fat graft will be able to shorten the healing times of these wounds. Patients will be randomized to the treatment group with adipose tissue processed with the SyntrFuge™ system (injection of autologous microsized adipose tissue) or to the control group represented by the standard of care.
Clinical Study Evaluating Wound Closure With Endoform™ and Symphony™
Wound HealingDiabetic Foot2 moreStudy will evaluate the performance and safety of Endoform™ Natural and Endoform™ Antimicrobial in conjunction with Symphony™ in the treatment of chronic non-healing diabetic foot ulcers after 12 weeks of treatment.
A Study of JNJ-77242113 in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
ColitisUlcerativeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of JNJ-77242113 compared with placebo in participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
FMT in Patients With Recurrent CDI and Ulcerative Colitis: Single Infusion Versus Sequential Approach...
Clostridium DifficileUlcerative ColitisClostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most frequent cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients and is responsible for 20-30 % of antibiotic-associated diarrhea cases. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are associated with an higher prevalence, recurrence and severity of CDI. The prevalence of recurrent CDI in patients with IBD is 2.5 to 8 times higher than in the general population, with a cumulative lifetime risk of 10 %. The higher risk to the development of CDI in patient with IBD is directly related to the microbiome alterations that are associated with this chronic disoder. Moreover, the use of antibiotics to cure CDI further worsens the gut microbiota, triggering potentially a self-maintaining cycle and predisposes such patients to a higher risk of recurrence. In these patients, CD superinfection is associated, with an increased rate of hospitalization, length of stay, the need to modify the treatment to the underlying disease, the increase rate of colectomy, there higher mortality rate, with a net increase of health costs. Nowadays, as emerged by several studies FMT has been established as a valid treatment option against recurrent CDI (rCDI), and it is recommended by international guidelines. Unfortunately, most FMT studies for rCDI have excluded patients with IBD. Recent evidence suggests that FMT is effective in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and concomitant rCDI, both in the treatment of the infection and in the improve of disease activity. To date, most studies evaluated the efficacy of single infusion of FMT in these patients. Preliminary data from our group suggest that a sequential approach (i.e., repeated fecal infusions) may increase the efficacy of FMT in this population. Indeed, in 18 patients with IBD, single infusion fecal resulted in eradication of rCDI in 60% of cases, whereas this outcome was achieved in 89% of cases using a sequential approach. Similar data have been demonstrated in a retrospective study by Fischer and colleagues. However, more studies are advocated to confirm these results. Therefore, our study aim to compare the efficacy of single FMT vs. sequential in the eradication of rCDI in patients with UC.
Repurposing Clinically Approved Drugs for Yaws With an Insight Into the Cutaneous Ulcer Disease...
YawsCutaneous UlcerThe goal of this clinical trial is to test the non inferiority of linezolid compared with azithromycin as a treatment for yaws . The main questions it aims to answer are: can linezolid cure active yaws, and can linezolid cure latent yaws. Participants with serologically confirmed yaws will be randomized to receive linezolid (experimental) or azithromycin (control group) treatment and followed up to assess clinical resolution.
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
Ulcerative ColitisThis study included two topics: one was to test the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplants plus partial enteral nutrition (PEN) in refractory pediatric UC where conventional therapy has failed, and the other was to explore the efficacy and safety of FMT plus PEN as first-line therapy for pediatric active UC
