A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Intravenous (IV) Infusions of Risankizumab on Pharmacokinetics of Cytochome P450 Substrates in Adult Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and bleeding from the lining of the rectum and colon (large intestine).Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. CD may cause tiredness, loose stools with or without bleeding, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. This study will evaluate the effect of repeated infusions of risankizumab on the pharmacokinetics of sensitive probe substrates of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in participants with moderately to severely active UC or CD. Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed to treat trial participants with inflammatory diseases such as UC and CD. The study is split into two periods. In Period 1, participants will receive single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes and in Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab followed by single oral doses of CYP sensitive probes. Around 20 adult participants with moderately to severely active CD or UC will be enrolled in the study across multiple sites worldwide. In Period 1, participants will receive oral doses of CYP sensitive probes on Day 1. In Period 2, participants will receive risankizumab by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 29 and 57 followed by oral CYP sensitive probes on Day 64. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects.

Exploring the Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation on the Chronic Course of Patients With Crohn's Disease With Vitamin D Deficiency

Aims:Prospectively observe the effects of Vitamin D drops supplementation on the chronic course of Crohn's disease patients, analyze whether the effect of Vitamin D drops on CD patients is affected by factors such as disease site, disease activity, treatment, etc.Exploring the relationship between Fok I gene polymorphism and the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation. Provide a certain theoretical basis for "precision treatment" for CD patients in the future. Design?It is a prospective cohort study. Investigators include a total of 60 participants with CD according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and divide them into two groups to assess their initial disease activity and detect related indicators. At the same time?investigators detect the Fok I gene polymorphism in all participants.One group is given Vitamin D drops 400IU per day orally, and the control group do not intervene. Participants' disease activity is assessed at baseline and related indicators are determined. The disease activity is re-evaluated at 2, 6, 14, 22, 30, and 38 weeks, and the serum indexes are re-evaluated.Investigators use statistical methods to analyze whether Vitamin D drops supplementation treatment can increase the serum 25 (OH) D level of CD participants who are treated with infliximab, improve the condition of CD participants,relationship with Fok I gene polymorphism?and analyze the effects of Vitamin D drops on participants with CD is affected by factors such as disease site, disease activity, and treatment.

Assessing the Drug Exposure Risk of Infants Breastfed by Women With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Breastfeeding is beneficial to both mother and baby. However, many breastfeeding women are affected by long-term health conditions and need to take medications. Sometimes, concerns about transfer of drugs to infants via breast milk lead the mothers to either avoid breastfeeding or stop their medication. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that is marked by an abnormal response of the body's immune system, and high levels of certain proteins that cause inflammation (Cytokines like Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha or TNF?). A group of drugs called "biologics" target and stop these proteins from causing inflammation, and have been successfully used to treat this condition. Inflammatory proteins may be present in breast milk of healthy women in variable levels, and may play a role in development of infant's brain and immune system. This study is being conducted to investigate: Concentration of some of the inflammatory proteins in breast milk of mothers with IBD and healthy controls Interaction between these proteins and biologics in breast milk of women with IBD Potential role of these proteins (and their interaction with biologics) on development of infant learning and memory function It has been presumed that concentrations of TNF? and some other cytokines are higher in breast milk of women with IBD, and the biologics can normalize these high levels. Due to precautions for COVID-19, the study now consists of only two mandatory study visits and two optional study visits. The mandatory visits include two home visits in the first 4 months postpartum to complete a participant questionnaire and collect a small sample of breast milk at each visit. The optional study visits consist of two visits at the Hospital for Sick Children for evaluation of learning and memory function of the infant at the ages of 12 and 18 months. Additionally, mothers will be required to complete for their infant subscales of The Ages and Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ®-3) either in person or over the telephone at the ages of 12 months and 18 months.

Capsule Colonoscopy in Crohn's Disease and Its Correlation With Conventional Colonoscopy and Faecal Calprotectin

Aims: To study the feasibility of capsule colonoscopy in patients with Crohn's Disease (CD). To compare the results of capsule colonoscopy with conventional colonoscopy in assessing mucosal healing. To correlate the level of faecal calprotectin with the results of capsule colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy. To document changes in clinical practice attributable to the capsule colonoscopy findings a) concordant with and b) in addition to the parallel findings at colonoscopy and ileoscopy. Project design: Cross sectional, prospective, comparative study Methodology: Patients of the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) and other associated speciality clinics with an established diagnosis of CD who need assessment of mucosal healing and have consented to be part of the study will undergo capsule colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy on the same day after undergoing bowel preparation. The images of both the conventional and capsule colonoscopies will be recorded. In addition calprotectin (an inflammatory marker in faeces) will be measured in a sample of faeces collected by the patients prior to the colonoscopy day. Professor Macrae and the scholarly selective student researcher will assess the recorded images obtained from capsule colonoscopies once the images have been deidentified. To assess the level of mucosal disease they will use the Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SESCD). The results of the assessment of mucosal healing obtained from conventional colonoscopy will be compared with those of capsule colonoscopy and levels of faecal calprotectin will then be correlated.
