NCT00061737
Measurement of the quality of life (QoL) of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has had little attention, despite the importance of understanding key factors affecting QoL, especially for measuring the effects of clinical trials to improve IBD outcomes. The main purpose of this pilot study is to examine the impact of clinical severity and treatment social factors on the quality of life (QoL) of a diverse population of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Secondary purposes include determining the effects of sociodemographic factors on QoL and exploring the concordance of views of parents and children of QoL. The study aims are to 1) determine the associations of of clinical characteristics (condition type, activity/severity, and treatment) with specific components of general health-related quality of life and IBD-specific QoL; 2) describe the effects of sociodemographic characteristics (SES, age, and gender) on these measures; and 3) compare the views of different observers (parent and child with IBD) of the child's QoL. The study will apply both general and condition-specific QoL measures among a random sample of 250 children and adolescents with IBD, ages 5-18 years, in six clinical sites. We will obtain measures of QoL from both the child and a parent in each case. The study will obtain additional data regarding the subjects' clinical condition (condition type, severity/activity, treatment \[including surgery\], age of onset) and socioeconomic status (household structure and income). Main analyses will compare general and specific measures of QoL and examine the influence of clinical and sociodemographic variables on QoL, through multivariate regression techniques. We will also examine the differences in child and parent assessments of QoL. The information from this study will provide a stronger base for future studies of treatment and natural history of IBD. It will help to clarify the life domains that are affected by IBD and will inform interventions to improve QoL for children with IBD.
NCT00105300
The goal of this study is to test whether adalimumab can induce clinical remission in subjects with active Crohn's disease who have been initially treated with infliximab and either lost response or discontinued its use as a result of intolerance to the drug.
NCT00562887
To compare the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ABT-874 to placebo in subjects who have moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.
NCT00130390
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nitazoxanide compared to a placebo in reducing the signs and symptoms of mild to moderate active Crohn's disease in adults.
NCT01070303
The objectives were: (1) To demonstrate the efficacy of adalimumab in the long-term maintenance of clinical remission in participants with Crohn's disease; and (2) To delineate the long-term safety of adalimumab when administered to participants with Crohn's disease.
