Hematological Indices and Fecal Calprotectin Predict Histological Remission in Ulcerative Colitis
Investigators aimed at investigating the prediction ability of faecal calprotectin to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy Investigators aimed to evaluate the prediction ability of NLR, PLR and MLR to predict mucosal healing and histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy. Investigators evaluate the histological remission in ulcerative colitis patients receiving biological therapy in Assuit university hospital.

Hydroxocobalamin Approach for Reducing of Calprotectin With Butyrate for Ulcerative Colitis Remission
This is a 4-week pilot, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial of hydroxocobalamin and butyrate in ulcerative colitis (UC) that will occur in two phases. The main objectives of this study are to determine the capacity of hydroxocobalamin and butyrate to reduce calprotectin in those with inflammatory disease in UC to determine the safety and preferential dose of hydroxocobalamin with butyrate in UC.

Intermittent Caloric Restriction in Patients With Mild to Moderate Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. CD is a common inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), frequent (150,000 patients in France and 1.5 million in Europe), disabling and incurable. The environmental factors, and in particular diet, play a major role in the pathogenesis of CD. The prevalence of CD is steadily increasing in highly industrialized countries, where the Western diet rich in saturated fats and refined sugars, is blamed for this to explain this true pandemic. On the other hand, enteral nutrition, exclusive or partial, is known to be effective in the initial treatment of CD,...

Is Diverting Loop Ileostomy Necessary in Completion Proctectomy With Ileal Pouch Anal- Anastomosis: A Multicentre, Randomized Study of the GETAID Chirurgie Group. IDEAL Trial
Defunctioning ileostomy has demonstrated its benefits (rate and seriousness of anastomotic leakage) in cancer for low colorectal and coloanal anastomoses, whereas there are no such good quality evidences in case of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, most surgical teams do protect systematically IPAA by an ileostomy. Total proctocolectomy with IPAA is the gold standard for surgical management of ulcerative colitis (UC). This demanding procedure is often performed in 2 or 3 stages, namely subtotal colectomy, completion proctectomy with IPAA and defunctioning ileostomy closure....

MARVEL: Mitochondrial Anti-oxidant Therapy to Resolve Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis
This is a Phase 2b, multi-centered, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with treatment phase over 24 weeks. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a condition that causes inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the rectum and colon (the large bowel). In UC, ulcers develop on the surface of the lining and these may bleed and produce mucus. Individuals with UC can become very unwell with disabling bloody diarrhoea, uncontrollable bowel habit and profound tiredness. In very severe cases, UC carry the risks of rupture of the inflamed bowel wall requiring an emergency operation to remove the colon. The MARVEL study investigates...

Medical Treatment Versus Surgery in Stricturing Small Bowel Crohn's Disease
The objective of the SMART trial is to compare a combination therapy using azathioprine and subcutaneous infliximab versus ileocecal resection in patients with symptomatic small bowel Crohn's disease.

Metformin as Added on Therapy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is marked by increased intestinal motility and bloody diarrhea. The clinical value of existing therapeutic strategies of UC, including glucocorticoids, anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), mesalamine, and thiopurines is still limited. Therefore, the discovery of new therapeutic approaches is essential to improve the effectiveness of the treatment.Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a conserved fuel-sensing enzyme that plays an important role in the regulation of cellular metabolism where it increases glucose and fatty acids uptake and...

Mini-MARVEL - Mitochondrial Antioxidant Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis
Mini-MARVEL study, children and young people with an active flare of UC requiring either the start of or an increase in existing mesalazine therapy will be given either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks in the Mini-MARVEL M arm of the study. Those children and young people with an active flare of UC requiring the start of an oral steroid course will be given either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks in the Mini- MARVEL S arm of the study, Further, newly diagnosed children and young people with UC can have either MitoQ or placebo as a daily capsule for 24 weeks with their newly started mesalazine therapy in the ...
