Active clinical trials for "Ulcer"

This is an open label exploratory study to investigate the safety of 400 milligram (mg ) twice a day (b.i.d.) GSK2586184 in patients with moderate to severe, active ulcerative colitis (UC). Study medication will be administered orally (as tablets), twice daily, for up to 8 weeks (56 days). Study medication will be taken with food. Each subject will have 6 out-patient visits: Screening (Day -30 to -1); Baseline and Start of treatment (Day 1); Week 2 (Day 14); Week 4 (Day 28); Week 8 (Day 56); and Follow-up (Week 12; Day 84). Visit windows for weeks 2, 4 and 8 will be + 2 days. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of GSK2586184. The primary endpoints to measure safety are laboratory tests (including haematology, clinical chemistry and serum creatinine), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), physical examination, and adverse event reporting. These are standard measurements to evaluate safety.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SHP647 in inducing remission, based on composite score of participant-reported symptoms and centrally read endoscopy, in participants with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).

The purpose of this study is to allow subjects completing study LYC-30937-2001 the opportunity to receive LYC-30937-EC 25 mg.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of GED-0507-34-Levo in subjects with active, mild-to-moderate UC.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Single-Blind Study with an Open-Label Extension Option to Further Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Cryopreserved Human Amniotic Membrane for the Treatment of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Pain is one of the major symptoms in palliative care units and often is very difficult to treat, being considered as a refractory pain. There are different causes of refractory pain: pain due to bed sores and ulcer bandages, carcinological or ischemic wounds or injuries, pain due to patients' reduced mobility, pain due to traumatological injuries, pain associated with a long-term bed confinement, etc. The investigators propose a prospective study to estimate the effect and the tolerance to a subcutaneous bolus of ketamine administered for the treatment of refractory pain due to the care of bedsores, ulcers and vascular wounds in patients hospitalized in palliative care units.

This study is a follow up study for subjects with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in stable remission designed to evaluate flexible dosing of CP-690,550.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an entity of complex etiology where environmental, genetic and intestinal microflora-related factors trigger and perpetuate a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It is suspected that an alteration in primary intestinal microbial colonization (dysbiosis) could trigger, or at least contribute to, said oversized immune response. The hypothesis is that the administration of a series of fibers, could improve the bacterial diversity and repair the dysbiosis that has been seen in patients affected by ulcerative colitis, improving the clinical evolution of it. The primary objective of the present study is to know the impact on the microbiota of patients with UC in remission derived from the administration of dietary fibers. The RETOS study is a pilot project in which a population of patients with UC is tested for the effect on the composition of the microbiota that would have the administration of various combinations of fibers, in addition to the tolerability and acceptance by the patient. The clinical applicability derived from this intervention would be to improve the diversity of intestinal flora of patients with ulcerative colitis.

Objectives: To examine the effect of accelerated infliximab induction in children with moderate to severe UC. Design: A multi-center, prospective, randomized, open label study. Setting: Pediatric gastroenterology centers. Participants: Children 6 year to 17 years (Overall, 84 patients) with moderate to severe UC who are corticosteroid dependent/resistant thus planned to receive infliximab induction. Intervention: Group 1 (intervention) will receive an accelerated induction at 0,1,3 weeks (5 mg/kg) and then at week 7,11,15. Group 2 (standard) will receive a per protocol induction at 0,2,6 weeks (5 mg/kg) and then at week 14. Drug levels will be obtained prior to each infusion in each group (up to week 20). Further maintenance will be planned according to drug levels at weeks 15 and 14, respectively. Follow-up will continue without further interventions till 52 weeks following induction. Main outcome measure: Clinical remission, on infliximab at week 20. Secondary outcome measures: 1. Colectomy free rates at week 20 and 52. 2. Clinical remission on infliximab at week 52. 3. Drug levels and anti-drug antibodies prior to last study infusion. 4. Anthropometric and laboratory measures including calprotectin at the end of induction, week 20 and week 52 5. Changes in fecal microbiome, virome and bile acids content. Sample size: In order to demonstrate 30% difference in clinical remission rate between groups is significant, we will need to study 36 children in each group to be able to reject the null hypothesis that the failure rates between the groups are equal with probability (power) of 80% and a type I error probability of 0.05.

This is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind (DB), controlled, randomized, parallel group comparison Phase 3a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new mesalamine suppositories (MAX-002) as compared to placebo and active medicine after 6 weeks of treatment in adults with mild to moderate ulcerative proctitis (UP).
