The purpose of this study is to assess the capacity of the gut microbial composition and function to predict the course of IBD during the first year after diagnosis.
NCT02460705
Currently enrolling only patients with Ulcerative Colitis. Enrollment and experimental treatment of patients with Crohn's Disease stopped for a safety evaluation. This is a prospective, open label pilot study in which patients with symptoms of Inflammatory bowel disease will receive FMT therapy delivered via colonoscopy. The investigators hypothesize that FMT is a safe and effective treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The aims are: 1. To determine if symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease can be successfully treated by Fecal Microbial Transplantation. 2. To determine if endoscopic appearance of colon or ileum improves following treatment by Fecal Microbial Transplantation.
NCT06683105
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an app designed for diet education can help patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) learn about healthy eating. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is the app easy to use? * Is the app useful? Researchers will compare the diet app to see if it is better at teaching patients about a healthy diet than the standard information they may receive from their doctor. Participants will be asked to use the app for one month and answer surveys to see how easy the app is to use and if it leads to healthier eating.

NCT06579443
To determine if robotic surgery can be performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, to ascertain the optimal robotic set up for multi-quadrant IBD operations and evaluate clinical outcomes in robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery.
NCT07172945
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic, disabling conditions affecting young adults, marked by flare-ups and remissions. Traditionally, IBD was treated with immunosuppressants like thiopurines, but new biological treatments, such as anti-TNFa antibodies (e.g., infliximab, adalimumab), have transformed management. Biologics often combine with thiopurines but come with risks, like increased chances of skin cancers and lymphomas, especially for prolonged use in young patients. Recently, newer biologics (e.g., ustekinumab, vedolizumab) and small molecules like JAK inhibitors have expanded treatment options. The exact cause of IBD remains unknown, though an inappropriate immune response to the intestinal microbiota in genetically predisposed individuals is suspected. Dysbiosis, or imbalance in gut microbiota, has been linked to IBD, with reductions in 'beneficial' bacteria and increases in harmful ones. Certain bacteria, like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, may serve as markers for disease activity or progression. Due to the heterogeneity of UC and CD, it is crucial to identify early predictive factors for complications and treatment response. This study aims to identify biological markers of disease course and complications in IBD and to deepen understanding of its pathophysiological mechanisms.
NCT06245278
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by complex interactions between genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, microbiota and host immune response. It has two main forms, Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). The main mechanism of IBD pathogenesis is dysregulated host immune response to commensal microbiota and disruption of the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in genetically predisposed individuals. Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with dental biofilm resulting in the loss of periodontal supporting tissues and subsequently teeth. Although the occurrence of the disease depends on multifactorial factors, bacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor and various bacterial species found in plaque are responsible for initiating and maintaining the inflammatory and immune response in periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are known to contribute to many systemic diseases/conditions or systemic disorders are known to affect periodontal disease. Although the relationship between IBD and periodontitis is based on the potential link between oral and intestinal microbiomes and host immunoinflammatory response, the pathological interactions between the two diseases have not yet been determined. From this point of view, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of periodontal status on serum, saliva and gingival biomarkers (TIM-3, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17) in patients with IBD and to evaluate the relationship between these values and periodontal clinical parameters. This is the first study to examine TIM-3 levels in saliva, serum and gingival samples in patients with IBD and periodontitis with IBD.
NCT05000242
A retrospective and prospective, observational, non-interventional, cohort study to develop quantitative metrics from tools used as standard of care when diagnosing, assessing and monitoring patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
NCT06065228
The purpose of this clinical study is the development of physiologic endpoint of inflammation in pediatric patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically subtypes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The novel medical device evaluates the patient's sensory response to each of the three sensory nerve fiber types. Data from the device provides an assessment of disease activity and a more precise approach to treatment.
NCT00248742
Patients with ulcerous colitis and Crohn's disease, age 18-60, with a relapse within the last 18 months and an activity index ≥4, with a long time stress level ≥60 on the perceived stress questionnaire (PSQ) were randomized to a stress management intervention program or treatment as usual and followed up for 18 months.
NCT07411131
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a synbiotic formula (SGR11) can improve symptoms and health measures in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does SGR11 lead to overall improvement in a participant's condition after 8 weeks, as measured by the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement Scale (CGI I)? * Is SGR11 safe and well tolerated in people with IBD? Participants will: * Take the study synbiotic formula (SGR11) daily for 8 weeks * Complete symptom and quality of life questionnaires * Provide stool samples and, if applicable, blood samples to measure inflammation and gut microbiome changes * Report any side effects that occur during the study
NCT04431700
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often have narrowed microbial diversity and altered composition and function of the gut microbiome. We anticipate the anti-inflammatory diet, when compared with the usual diet, to produce favorable changes in these multi-omics profiles. These findings will provide insight into the interactions between diet and host biology, while providing clues on the mechanisms of diet therapy's effect and CD pathogenesis.
NCT06274294
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare induction treatment with CT-P13 SC to induction treatment with CT-P13 IV in terms of pharmacokinetics in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have been diagnosed for at least 3 months and for whom the physician has decided to initiate treatment with infliximab CT-P13 as part of the standard of care. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate that induction treatment with CT-P13 SC is non-inferior to CT-P13 IV in terms of pharmacokinetics at Week 6.
NCT01524120
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major forms of chronic intestinal disorders, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). Diagnosis is based on several macroscopic and histologic features including patterns of inflammation, crypt abscesses and granulomas. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is rapidly emerging as a valuable tool for gastrointestinal endoscopic imaging, enabling the endoscopist to obtain an "optical biopsy" of the gastrointestinal mucosa during the endoscopic procedure. The main objective of this study is to determine endoscopic and endomicroscopic features of mucosal healing in patients with IBD.
NCT04587141
Anemia is the most common extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Although most cases of anemia in IBD are due to iron deficiency, many patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are not treated with iron supplementation. In addition, it has not been firmly established which iron supplementation modality provides the best results in terms of effectiveness and safety. In the present study the investigators will compare the effectiveness and efficacy of three iron supplementation modalities in IBD-associated IDA. There will be two arms of parenteral (iv) iron supplementation (ferric carboxymaltose and ferric gluconate) and one arm of oral supplementation (sucrosomial iron). Primary objective of the study is is to compare the efficacy of oral iron with that of the iv iron supplementation regimens. The primary outcome is measured as the percentage of patients responsive to iron supplementation. Response is defined by Hb normalization or by an Hb increase ≥2 g/dL by week 8 from start of therapy. As secondary objectives the influence of anemia and its treatment on fatigue, quality of life, hospitalizations, additional outpatient visits, number of endoscopic examinations; further treatments and relative side effects will be evaluated.
NCT03512327
There is limited data to guide the use of dietary change in the management of IBD, and it can prove challenging to implement in the setting of altered anatomy, comorbid conditions, and patient compliance. Therefore there is an important need to study diet as a therapy for IBD. Here, the investigators propose a novel study to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet in patients with active Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
NCT03667586
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients commonly suffer from disturbed psychosocial functioning and poor quality of life compared to other chronic disease patients. Clinicians are becoming growingly aware that addressing patients' psychological difficulties may improve disease management, however, there is not adequate evidence regarding the effect of psychotherapeutic interventions on psychosocial functioning and disease-related clinical and laboratory parameters. The aim of the present study is the evaluation of the effects of a targeted, cognitive behavioral psychotherapeutic intervention on symptom severity, levels of psychological distress and quality of life and inflammation and disease activity indices in IBD patients. An additional aim is the detection of psychological and biomedical parameters which may be associated with these effects.
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.
NCT05157750
Within this study, the investigators aim to directly compare the value of endoscopic remission, histologic remission and barrier healing for predicting long-term disease behavior in a large cohort of clinically remittent IBD patients.
