Endoscopic Ultrasound Determines Disease Activity in Crohn's Disease And Ulcerative Colitis

Although Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the main subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease, they differ substantially in disease behavior, prognosis, and treatment paradigm. However, making an accurate diagnosis of Crohn's disease versus ulcerative colitis and assessing disease activity beyond the level of mucosal inflammation remain challenging with contemporary modalities. The objective of the study is to determine the novel role of endoscopic ultrasound in A) differentiating Crohn's colitis versus ulcerative colitis and B) monitoring disease activity in these patients.

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Oral NX-13 in Active Ulcerative Colitis

This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, multicenter dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of NX-13. Approximately 40 subjects will be randomized in a 3:3:3:1 ratio to receive 1 of 3 NX-13 treatment regimens (NX-13 250 mg IR, 500 mg IR, 500 mg MR) (12 evaluable subjects at each of the 3 dose levels) or placebo (4 subjects), once daily for 28 consecutive days.

Digital Behavioral Interventions in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Given the bidirectionality between psychological distress and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereby increased psychological distress exacerbates disease activity and vice versa, psychosocial aspects of IBD care are receiving increased attention. However, proposed interventions are generally resource-intensive and have been tested in majority white populations. While people of color are an increasing segment of the IBD population, they are currently underrepresented in research studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and implementation of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among IBD patients of color with elevated psychological distress.

Digital Nutrition Therapy for Patients With IBD

Background: Alberta's Center of Excellence for Nutrition in Digestive Diseases (Ascend) is dedicated to generating new discoveries regarding the link between nutrition and digestive diseases and mobilizing existing research to change the way physicians treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis and intestinal failure. Ascend is a collaboration of excellence within the Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology at both the University of Calgary and University of Alberta. Dr. Raman, PI, is the Director of Ascend. One of Ascend's primary initiatives is the development of a digital health platform for patients living with both Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Dr. Raman and her team have developed an app called LyfeMD, by translating leading scientific research into a practical and engaging digital format. LyfeMD is meant to help people live and thrive while managing their inflammatory disease with holistic, easy-to-implement, evidence based lifestyle therapies. LyfeMD is one app with multiple features - ranging from customized diet using anti-inflammatory principles identified from recent research led by Dr. Raman's team, and exercise plans to mindfulness and stress reduction programs. It helps patients make therapeutic diet choices to treat inflammation and provides stress reduction strategies when they feel unwell. The LyfeMD app also supports patients to maintain remission even when they're feeling well with trusted resources designed to keep them symptom free. In addition to delivering personalized and interactive support, the app uses behavior science to help patients change their habits, improve their health and reduce the burden IBD places on their lives. With proprietary research and a team made up of internationally recognized leaders in the gastrointestinal field, LyfeMD is poised to be the trusted digital health solution for people living with IBD.

Antimicrobial Therapy for Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

The Aim of this randoized controlled pilot study is to find a better treatment strategy for active UC based on the recent knowledge regarding the microbiota in UC and the beneficial or detrimental effects of antibiotics in restoring gut health and reducing inflammation. This study is designed to determine whether therapy with two antibiotics during a flare - amoxicillin and doxycillin, will be better than the current published antibiotic treatment combination using these antibiotics with metronidazole ( as the latter which may degrade beneficial species without adding benefit towards reducing pathobionts)

Characterization of the Intestinal Microbiota in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and/or Spondyloarthritis and Study of the Impact of an Anti-TNF Alpha Therapy

Spondyloarthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases are common diseases, frequently met together in overlap syndromes. Their physiopathology remains puzzling. A strong role of gut microbiota has been recently put forward to explain the development of inflammatory bowel diseases, and is suspected to play an important role in rheumatoid diseases. Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) alpha are effective and safe drugs in the treatment of both digestive and rheumatoid inflammatory diseases. The way they work is unclear, and the clinical response to this treatment is variable. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases and of the action of anti-TNF alpha is essential to an optimized care. Our hypothesis is that the efficacy of anti-TNF alpha in spondyloarthritis and in inflammatory bowel diseases is at least partly due to its restoring action of homeostasis at the interface between gastrointestinal mucosa and intestinal microbiota, either by primary action on the digestive epithelium, allowing it to regain its control and tolerance functions toward mucosal microbiota, either by direct action on the intestinal microbiota, via an inter-reigns regulation. The main objective of our study is to assess quantitative and qualitative changes in fecal microbiota before (D0) and 3 months after initiation of anti-TNF alpha.

Effect of Probiotic Supplementation on the Immune System in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in Amman, Jordan

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that most likely results from the interaction between various environmental and genetic factors. Using probiotics as an adjunct to medical therapy might be useful in the treatment of UC and improving the symptoms of the disease. The result of studies that investigate the role of Probiotics supplementation in improving the inflammatory response, immune response and life quality of patients with the UC is not conclusive. So, this study aimed to study the effect of probiotics on the response of inflammatory markers, immune response, and quality of life in patients with UC. An interventional double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT) design will be used in this study. Forty patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to the placebo group (n=20) to receive 3 times a day placebo capsules; and probiotics group (n=20), to receive 3 times a day probiotic supplement. The demographic data, anthropometric measurements, IBD Quality of Life Questionnaire and blood samples will be collected at baseline and after 6 weeks of follow up. Interleukin-6, interleukin-1,interleukin-10 IL-10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and complete blood count (CBC) will be measured. The results will approve or disapprove the beneficial effect of using probiotics as adjuvant therapy for UC patients to raise the immune system as well as improving their quality of life.

Combination Corticosteroids+5-aminosalicylic Acids Compared to Corticosteroids Alone (for Ulcerative Colitis).

The role of steroids in the treatment of severe ulcerative colitis (UC) exacerbation is well established and recommended by professional societies. Similarly, 5-aminosalycilates (5-ASA) agents in the form of mesalamine/mesalzine are well established proven therapy in mild-moderate UC, and the combination of oral 5-ASA with topical (per-rectal enema) 5-ASA was shown to be superior to oral 5ASA alone in patients with mild moderate UC. Thus, in most cases, when a patient with UC experiences a flare while taking 5-ASA therapy, treatment is usually optimized by maximizing the oral dose to 4gr/day and adding topical therapy until the flare is controlled. If this is unhelpful, or if the flare is severe to begin with, corticosteroids are usually prescribed. However, there are very scarce data comparing steroids versus 5-ASA in the treatment of severe UC exacerbation. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of steroids alone vs. combination of steroids + 5-ASA in the treatment of moderate-severe UC exacerbation.
