Designing a Personalized Diet to Reduce the Risk of Crohn's Disease Onset
The purpose of this trial is to run a pilot study that examines the impact of different dietary components on risk factors such as the Genetic, Environmental, Microbial (GEM) Microbiome Risk Score (GMRS) and fecal calprotectin (FCP), a marker of inflammation in the bowels, and a risk factor for developing Crohn's disease (CD) among first degree relatives (parents, siblings, or offspring) of Crohn's patients. The study will utilize the Western diet and the Mediterranean diet to explore the complex interplay between diet, microbiome, and inflammatory biomarkers to identify specific dietary components that may be beneficial in reducing...

Development of Inflammation and Fibrosis Index, Combining MRI and PET 18F-FDG, in Patient's With Crohn's Disease
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disabling, incurable condition that affects 250,000 people in France, and Crohn's disease (CD) is the most common form. CD progresses, in one-quarter of the cases, towards the appearance of intestinal stenosis, most often on the terminal ileum, sometimes with obstructive symptoms and requiring an optimization of medical treatment (biotherapies) and/or surgery The hypothesis of this study is [18F]FDG PET /CT, (Positron emission tomography with the tracer fluorine-18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), called [18F]FDG PET coupled to a dedicated CT scanner) could help quantify intestinal ...

Efficacy of Mesalazine Combined With Biologics in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Endocopic remission rates of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis are low. Biologics including Vedolizumab, infliximab, and adalimumab are effective in induction and maintainence of ulcerative colitis. The role of 5-ASA in promoting a higher rate of endocsopic remission is unclear. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of combination of 5-ASA and biologics in treating ulcerative colitis.

Efficacy of Ustekinumab-based Integrated Medicine Therapy in Patients With Symptomatic Stricturing Crohn's Disease
This study intends to select patients with confirmed moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD) and obstructive symptoms of intestinal stenosis, who have clear evidence of lumen stenosis caused by the disease itself through radiography or endoscopy. After the informed consent of the patients, comprehensive drug therapy with ustekinumab as the mainstay was performed. The basic information and medical history of the patients were collected, and the treatment process of the patients was followed up and recorded, and the drug regimen was adjusted according to the physician's experience and judgment. At different follow-up time points, ...

Evaluate Established Anti-DEFA5 mAbs Diagnostic Efficacy and Safety in IBD
Investigators propose to validate efficacy and safety of the detection of DEFA5 in the diagnosis of the colonic IBD using longitudinal vs. cross-sectional studies of known patient clinical data to correlate with their endoscopy biopsy data. 30% of colonic IBD patients cannot be accurately diagnosed (CC vs. UC) in a timely manner even when a state-of-the-art classification system of combined clinical, endoscopic, radiologic and histologic tools are used. When the diagnostic classification for these two diseases is inconclusive, the condition is termed indeterminate colitis (IC). Here, the central medical challenge is the ...

Evaluate the Possible Efficacy and Safety of Empagliflozin in Patient With Ulcerative Colitis
•This study will be a randomized, controlled, parallel study. .To demonstrate the efficacy of empagliflozin and clinical improvement in patients of mild to moderate UC using the Montreal classification of severity of ulcerative colitis.

Evaluation of Local Co-administration of Autologous ADIpose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction With Microfat for Refractory Perianal CROHN's Fistulas.
Autologous ADSVF constitutes an innovative therapeutic strategy that concentrates various types of regenerative stem cells and paracrine factors able to promote angiogenesis and tissue repair. Together with the ease of collection from a minimally manipulated lipoaspirate, the unique properties of ADSVF offer new opportunities for fistulas' healing in patients with CD. The use of ADSVF is currently developed in many clinical fields based on safety and efficacy data. Our ADICROHN pilot study evaluating safety and tolerance of local administration of autologous ADSVF with microfat in CD patients with complex perianal fistula...

Exclusion Diet vs corticosteroIds in patientS With activE Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) is a whole-food diet coupled with partial enteral nutrition. The main objective of this trial is to assess whether CDED is superior to corticosteroids, in terms of endoscopic response, in patients active CD. The primary endpoint is endoscopic response at week 16, without corticosteroids or further therapeutic intervention, assessed by a centralized, anonymous and blinded, double lecture panel of panenteric PillCam Crohn's Capsule. This is a multicentre, open-label, comparative, randomized, 2:1, controlled, single-blind, superiority trial. Patients included are aged 16 to 70 years, have mild to...

FMT for Remission of Active Ulcerative Colitis in Adults
The goal of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of lyophilized (LYO) fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults. This is multi-site, randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. UC patients with active disease will be recruited at three Canadian centres and the study involves 3 treatment arms: 1. FMT oral capsules + placebo enema 2. placebo oral capsules + placebo enema 3. FMT oral capsules and FMT enema The primary outcome is achievement of remission of UC; the efficacy of LYO-FMT in achieving remission of active ulcerative colitis in adults ...

Health Benefits of Tart Cherry in Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a long-term inflammatory condition of the digestive tract. People with UC often have unpredictable and debilitating symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fatigue. In addition, they require long-term treatment with frequent negative effects, the need of surgery and hospitalisations. Therefore, people with UC report a lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) compared with healthy individuals. The most common medication for inflammatory bowel disease is a strong immunosuppressant which has previously (in 2017) been found to be the most expensive medication prescribed at hospitals in the NHS. ...
