Crohn's Disease Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most frequently affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including belly pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. Treatments are available but do not work the same for all patients or may stop working over time. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and adverse events of targeted therapies (TaTs) for adult participants with moderate to severe CD. The medicines assessed in this study are risankizumab, ABBV-382 and lutikizumab. When participants join the study, they will be randomized into available study treatment groups. Adult participants with CD will be enrolled. Around 500 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 300 sites worldwide. Risankizumab and ABBV-382 are given as an injection under the skin or as an infusion into the vein. Lutikizumab is given as an injection under the skin. Each group includes a 12-week induction period, a 12-week maintenance period, and an optional long-term extension period where medication will be given after the maintenance period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care treatment without participating in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, endoscopies, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires and a daily diary. Read Less

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD) are long-term conditions in the gut that can cause diarrhea, swelling (inflammation), bleeding from the anus, and belly pain. The main aim of this study is to check for how many participants with UC and CD signs and symptoms disappear after 3.5 months (14 weeks) of treatment with Vedolizumab (this is called remission). Participants will be treated with Vedolizumab for approximately 1 year (50 weeks). During the first 1.5 months (6 weeks), participants will receive Vedolizumab as an infusion in the vein (called intravenously). After this, participants will receive Vedolizumab as an injection under the skin (called subcutaneously) for the rest of the treatment. Participants for whom the treatment does not seem to work well after 3.5 months (14 weeks) will stop treatment with Vedolizumab and can change to another treatment and also there will be additional required visits at 6 months (26 weeks) and at 1 year (52 weeks). All participants will be checked again 4.5 months (18 weeks) after their last treatment with Vedolizumab. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic several times. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirikizumab and placebo compared with mirikizumab and concomitantly administered tirzepatide in adult participants with moderately to severely active CD and obesity, or overweight. The maximum duration of this study is up to 61 weeks. Read Less

Background: Crohn s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation of the gut. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. CD has no cure, but symptoms can sometimes be controlled with medicine. Researchers want to see if it is safe to treat CD with the medicine vorinostat. It is thought that vorinostat may reduce the inflammation process of CD. This may then help to relieve symptoms of CD. Participants who respond to Vorinostat will be invited to an extension phase of treatment with Vorinostat and possibly a maintenance treatment using Ustekinumab. Objectives: To see if vorinostat is safe for people with moderate-to-severe CD. To see if it is safe for people with moderate-to-sever CD to receive maintenance therapy using Ustekinumab after successful treatment of Vorinostat. Eligibility: Adults 18-65 with moderate-to-severe CD that medicine is not controlling. Design: Phase I is screening. It may last 120 days. Participants will have: Physical exam Medical history Tests of blood, urine, and stool samples Heart test Questionnaires Tuberculosis skin test They may have a colonoscopy and lymphapheresis collection. These will be explained in a separate consent. They will keep a diary of symptoms. Phase II is treatment using Vorinostat. It will take 12-13 weeks. Participants will take the study drug by mouth twice daily for 12 weeks. They will get a weekly phone call to talk about how the drug makes them feel. They will have blood taken regularly. Every 4 weeks, they will have a check-up that will repeat some screening tests. Phase III extension treatment of Vorinostat for an additional 6 months for those who respond to vorinostat and it is safe for them to continue treatment. Participants will continue to receive weekly calls to talk about how the drug makes them feel. They will have blood taken regularly. Every 3 months, they will have a check-up that will repeat some screening tests. Phase IV: is maintenance therapy for 2 years with Ustekinumab. Participants will receive a one time loading dose of ustekinumab, and then will receive the approved maintenance dose once every 8 weeks, at which time they will return to the NIH Clinical Center for evaluation. The participant will get a phone call 3 days after each dose and again 2 weeks later to see how the drug makes them feel. After two years of receiving treatment with ustekinumab the participant will have an end of study visit, where some of the screening tests, including a colonoscopy, will be repeated. Read Less

Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting condition causing inflammation that can affect any part of the gut. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-279 versus placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The main aim of this study is to learn if the 3 different doses of TAK-279 reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers in the bowel compared to the placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Another aim is to compare any medical problems that participants have when they take TAK-279 or placebo and how well the participants tolerate medical problems. An endoscopy will be used to check the bowel for inflammation. The participants will be treated with TAK-279 for 52 weeks (1 year). During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 15 times. Read Less

Vedolizumab is a medicine that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system. In this study, children and teenagers with moderate to severe Crohn's disease will be treated with vedolizumab. The main aim of the study is to check if participants achieve remission after treatment with the vedolizumab. Remission means symptoms improve or disappear and an endoscopy shows no signs of inflammation. Participants will receive 3 infusions of vedolizumab over 6 weeks. Then, those who have a clinical response will receive either a high dose or low dose of vedolizumab once every 8 weeks. They will receive the same dose every time. Read Less

The study is an extension of two parent studies (MLN0002-3024 \[NCT04779307\] and MLN0002-3025 \[NCT04779320\]). Participants must have participated in one of the previous studies. The purpose of this study is to collect the long-term safety of vedolizumab in children with UC or CD. Read Less
