NCT03140306
This study aims to assess the use of low dose CT reconstructed with MBIR for the assessment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease who need CT to assess for disease complications.
NCT04089501
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
NCT02240121
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of rifaximin DR also referred to as Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) tablets vs. placebo for the induction of clinical remission and endoscopic response following 16 weeks of treatment in participants presenting with active moderate Crohn's disease. A key secondary objective is to evaluate clinical and endoscopic remission following an additional 36 weeks of treatment.
NCT03218202
Two thirds of patients with Crohn's disease require intestinal surgery at some time in their life. Intestinal strictures, that is narrowing of the bowel due to inflammation and scarring, are the most common reason for surgery. Despite the high frequency, associated disability, and cost there are no are no treatment strategies that aim to improve the outcome of this disease complication. The STRIDENT (stricture definition and treatment) studies aim to determine biochemical and imaging features associated with the development of strictures and in related STRIDENT studies develop strategies for treatment.
NCT04067934
Children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of poor bone and muscle health through a variety of factors, including underlying disease processes, nutritional deficits, and reduced physical activity. Inflammatory bowel disease can also delay the onset of puberty in children, and pubertal development in adolescents, resulting in sub-optimal adult bone mass, therefore increasing future risk of fractures and osteoporosis. High impact exercise may be a useful additional therapy for adolescents with IBD, as the mechanical strains produced during this type of exercise, through high force muscular contractions and ground reaction forces, can promote bone formation and gains in muscle mass. There have been no previous studies assessing the effects of high impact exercise in IBD, so it is unknown if this type of exercise is feasible in this population. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a short term jumping based exercise intervention for improving muscle and bone outcomes in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease.
NCT02760836
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a predictive model of clinical outcomes based on the results of web-based self-reporting symptom diary for Crohn's disease.
NCT01793376
Hypothesis This study is designed as an integral part of the development of a new CE score for Crohn's disease. The SB (small bowel) CD (Crohn's Disease)Niv score (CECDAI) is an established and validated CD score for SB involvement. In order to expand this score to the colon, this study will aim to develop the colonic score and later on will be combined with the already established SB score in order to achieve a full CE gut score for Crohn's disease Proposed Design This is a retrospective study in which up to 30 videos of colon Crohn's disease subjects who have undergone the Colon 2 CE procedure will be evaluated. These cases will have evidence of large and / or small bowel Crohn's disease The chosen videos will be marked for CD lesions by the site The de-identified marked videos will be scored by 4 independent experienced endoscopists, blinded to the results of the standard workup procedures, according to the colonic and CECDAIic new scores
NCT03615378
Vitamin D repletion is important for bone health in patients with Crohn's disease. While repletion strategies in the general population yield similar results in those with Crohn's disease, maintenance strategies are variable. High quality evidence is lacking to determine the optimal strategy to maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D levels in patients with Crohn's disease.
NCT02580864
Individuate possible predictive factors of anti-TNFalfa-induced deep remission in Crohn's disease.
NCT02379117
Food intake is mainly controlled through interactions between the gut and brain (the homeostatic control) and through our environment, with food exposure, mood and past experiences (the hedonic control) playing a major role. The link between the gut and the brain is mainly controlled through enteroendocrine cells (EC). These cells in the bowel sense nutrients in the food and link with the brain to control how much we eat. They make a number of hormones that link with the brain to control one's eating habits. Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory disease of the bowel which can present with a number of symptoms including weight loss and loss of appetite. We thought some time ago that an increase in the number and function of these EC could play a central role. Since then we have carried out work which has shown that in CD these EC increase in number and produce more hormones after a meal. This finding could have a negative effect on food intake. This would be one explanation to the symptoms so commonly experienced by these patients. In CD we thus feel that there might be an imbalance in the appetite control. We expect an increasingly sensitive gut to food intake and a subdued mood and perception to food reward and that this imbalance will lead to a decrease in food reward and consequently a decrease in food intake. This study will be carried out using Healthy Volunteers and CD patients. We plan to measure food intake though telephone interviews and plan to analyse eating behaviour through 5 questionnaires.This study will help us to improve our understanding of what it is that controls food intake. This will be particularly important to patients with CD who routinely lose weight and appetite.
NCT02129972
The incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is in a continuous progression both in adults as in children. The colonoscopy is considered as the gold standard exam for the diagnosis and the follow-up of the patients presenting or suspected to have an IBD. The follow-up and financial management of this kind of pathology is very much dependent on the quality of the endoscopic images. Because colonoscopy is an expensive and invasive technique which assumes a general sedation, many efforts have been done to develop new less expensive and less invasive techniques in order to offer alternatives to the classic colon endoscopy. One of these new techniques is the colon videocapsule (CVC) endoscopy (PillCam® colon 2 - Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel). This is a new promising semi-invasive endoscopic technique which has been successfully validated with adults. We hypothesize that the CVC can be used in children with similar results in terms of efficacy, as is the case for adults. This prospective simple blind multicenter study, will investigate the diagnostic value of the CVC compared to the conventional colonoscopy under general sedation for the detection and the control of colon lesions in children presenting IBD. If the feasibility and the efficacy of the colon video capsule technique are also proven for use with children, then this new technique might become a very interesting alternative for the endoscopic examination of the colon because of being less expensive and less invasive. Moreover, this technique would be very useful as a means of lesions detection all along the digestive tract and not limited to the colon only.
NCT03999294
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term that defines a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the intestine. It includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The objective of the study was to administer a treatment based on a group adaptation of the BMGIM in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and assess its impact on state of mind, quality of life, anxiety, depression, immunocompetence as a marker of well-being, and levels of acute and chronic stress. To achieve the objectives a quasi-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, analytical, and prospective study was performed. 41 patients with IBD divided into a test group (24 patients), who received 8 sessions over 8 weeks, and a control group (17 patients). A saliva sample was taken from each patient before and after each session to determine cortisol levels (acute stress) and IgA (immunocompetence) using ELISA. A series of questionnaires were completed as follows: HADS (perceived anxiety), MOOD (state of mind), and CCVEII (quality of life). Similarly, a hair sample was taken before the first and after the last session to determine the cumulative cortisol level (chronic stress) using ELISA.

NCT02847884
Crohn's disease (CD) is a lifelong condition of inflammation in the bowel. CD can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. Symptoms can include: tiredness, stomach pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if the disease is severe), fever, weight loss, skin rashes, arthritis and inflammation of the eye. Infliximab-IFX (Remicade®) is a medication that is used to treat CD in adults and children. In adults it has been shown that the amount of this drug a person has in their blood can show how well it is working for them. Health Canada has approved Infliximab -IFX for the treatment of CD in children 9 and older. In Canada, doctors may prescribe Inflixmab to younger children when other therapies do not resolve their disease symptoms. This is called "off-label" use of Infliximab. IFX levels in the body and consequently its efficacy can be influenced by many biological characteristics within the patient's body. In about 17% of those treated with IFX, the patient's immune response against IFX may lead to a three to fivefold increased risk of loss of response. This immune response to the medication often occurs when drug levels are undetectable in the body. Thus it is in order to achieve best results with this treatment, physicians need to be able to adjust dosing specific to each patient. A recent study has shown that 29% of children have an undetectable IFX level at the 4th medication infusion. Up to 40% of patients receiving scheduled IFX have undetectable drug level prior to their next infusion. In order to minimize the loss of response, we hope to conduct an observational cohort study of pediatric patients treated with IFX. This open label, cohort study aims to: 1. Determine the pharmacokinetics of IFX in children with CD and the factors that affect IFX levels during the first three loading infusions 2. Obtain data to create a model that can guide and adjust the IFX dose and frequency to achieve optimal trough level between 5 and 10 ug /ml at 14 weeks.

This is a prospective observational cohort study, over 52 weeks, evaluating the the use of faecal microbiota transplantation amongst patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Microscopic Colitis
NCT03964883
Ano-perineal lesions are the first signs of Crohn's disease in 1/3 to 1/2 of cases. They are most often associated with a poor prognosis of the disease and their management is complex and difficult because of the dilapidated and recurrent nature of lesions with significant repercussions on continence and quality of life. The treatment of these lesions is most often medical and surgical, consisting of drainage of the suppurative lesions and/or the use of biotherapy +/- combined with an immunosuppressant.
