The ElectRx Study - A Neurotechnology Approach to the Treatment of IBD
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of vagal nerve neuromodulation in a cohort of patients operated on for Crohn's disease, in a prospective, single centre, cohort study.

The Impact of Circadian Misalignment on Colonic Barrier Homeostasis in Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this study is to investigate if circadian malalignment (unusual sleeping patterns), such as night shifts (sleeping during the day and being awake during the night time), worsens the inflammation of the gut. We hope to look at patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Healthy Controls.

The Influence of a Fasting Mimicking Diet on Ulcerative Colitis
The purpose of this study is to see how a diet that mimics fasting effects inflammation in patients with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The diet may allow users to receive the benefits of fasting while also being able to enjoy food (the ingredients of which are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Research on dietary interventions and UC are very limited. Fasting mimicking diets (FMD) have been studied with support of the National Institute of Health and published in leading journals. This research investigates whether markers of inflammation decrease and/or quality of life ...

The Intensive Post Exclusive Enteral Nutrition Study
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition with phases where the disease is active and other, where there are no symptoms. Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN), a liquid only diet without allowance of any extra food, is the main treatment for children with active CD. However, when children stop the liquid diet and return to their normal diet, most of them will experience an increase in their gut inflammation, mostly without symptoms initially. The aim of this study is to investigate this phenomenon by exploring if diet and gut bacteria play a role. Furthermore, the investigators aim to test whether a new, ordinary food-based ...

The Role of IL-23-Responsive Immune Cell Subsets in Post-Operative Recurrence in Patients With Crohn's Disease.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD), constitute a group of debilitating chronic diseases that profoundly impact patient quality of life and incurs large costs in terms of treatment and lost productivity. Incidence of IBD is rising worldwide, and there is a pressing clinical need for development of new therapies. Discovery and development of effective therapies to treat IBDs depend first on a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, including how proinflammatory cells proliferate unchecked. It has been established that the cytokine interleukin (IL)-23 plays a pivotal...

The Role of Secondary Bile Acids in Intestinal Inflammation
The cause of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is unknown, but intestinal bacteria-involved in the production of molecules that impact health-are widely accepted to play a key role. A significant proportion of IBD patients with pouches (surgically created rectums after the diseased colon is removed) continue to have inflammation similar to their previous disease. Only a few microbes are known to have the capability to modify primary bile acids (PBAs) made by the liver to secondary bile acids (SBAs). SBAs are some of the most common metabolites in the colon and play key roles in several diseases. In this study the investigators...

The Vitamin D in Pediatric Crohn's Disease ( ViDiPeC-2 )
The purpose of this study is to determine if vitamin D as an adjuvant therapy can improve the outcome (i.e. fewer relapses) and the quality of life, including levels of physical activity, in children diagnosed Crohn's disease (CD).

TITRATE (inducTIon for acuTe ulceRATivE Colitis)
The aim of this study is to investigate whether intensive, personalized IFX dosing by using a pharmacokinetics driven dashboard system during the induction phase in patients with acute severe UC leads to increased treatment success (as defined by clinical and endoscopic response at week 6) as compared to the standard dosing.
