NCT07207200
The pilot study will focus on the effects of morning light therapy (MLT) in adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who have evidence of poor sleep quality and active inflammation. The specific population is at risk for circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders and has significant potential benefit from circadian realignment, which may lead to improved sleep quality and, ultimately, UC-related inflammatory activity. During an initial one-week lead-in period, participants will obtain baseline circadian-related labs, complete symptom-related surveys, and use a wearable device continuously to obtain baseline sleep-wake data. After the lead-in week, patients will undergo one hour of MLT while wearing wearable devices continuously and completing daily symptom surveys. At the end of four weeks of MLT, patients will obtain post-intervention circadian and inflammatory assessments in addition to completing the same symptom-related surveys.
NCT07471490
This study will evaluate how well the a new stool test can distinguish inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from non-IBD conditions compared with standard calprotectin testing and colonoscopy findings. Participants will undergo only routine clinical care, including colonoscopy, and will provide a stool sample for testing. The study will also examine how test results relate to endoscopic, histologic, and ultrasound measures of disease activity. Findings may help determine whether the new test could reduce unnecessary colonoscopies and support future regulatory submissions.
NCT07471438
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can significantly impair patients' quality of life. Due to its transmural nature (affecting the entire thickness of the intestinal wall), it naturally progresses to intestinal destruction (stenosis, fistula), requiring intestinal resection in approximately half of patients during follow-up. The long-term goal for patients is to maintain a normal life, i.e., without symptoms and without intestinal destruction. To this end, short- and medium-term therapeutic goals have evolved in recent years. Clinical remission is not a sufficient goal, as it has not changed the natural history of the disease. The current goal is to achieve a combination of clinical remission and endoscopic mucosal healing, as this is associated with a reduced risk of adverse outcomes (recurrence of symptoms, hospitalization, intestinal resection). Transmural healing assessed by MRI is also a promising goal associated with a reduced risk of adverse outcomes (recurrence of symptoms, hospitalization, intestinal resection). Furthermore, it is associated with a lower risk of progression to intestinal destruction, unlike endoscopic remission. In this context, transmural healing could soon become the benchmark in terms of therapeutic objectives for Crohn's disease, particularly in the ileum. Although enteric MRI is better accepted than colonoscopy by patients with Crohn's disease, in the ACCEPT1 study, nearly half of patients (48.6%) reported the need to use an intestinal distension product (PEG, mannitol, etc.) as a significant obstacle to repeating entero-MRI, while more than a third complained of vomiting (33.7%) or severe diarrhea (35.0%) induced by these same products. Being able to do without the use of distension products would significantly improve the acceptability of entero-MRI. We hypothesize that an enteric MRI without distension would lead to poorer ileal distension but would allow inflammatory activity scores to be assessed on MRI in a manner similar to an examination with distension, and thus would not impact the need for therapeutic intensification.
