This is a Phase 2, multicenter, platform study in adult participants with IBD (moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis). The primary goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of multiple investigational drugs.
This research study is being done to learn if a virtual reality (VR)-directed BGBT program is feasible and acceptable for patients to enhance pain treatment for patients with IBD. The study hypothesis include: * the study will achieve greater than 75% program completion and 75% study assessment completion * patients with IBD will find VR-directed BGBT acceptable as an outpatient pain treatment * outpatient VR-directed BGBT in IBD arm participants will report a greater reduction in pain scores, symptom burden, stress, depression, anxiety, and pain-related interference and an improvement in health-related quality of life * will have lower opioid requirements and healthcare utilization at 4-weeks follow-up compared to the E-TAU arm
The purpose of this study is to use diet and an injectable medication called tirzepatide (Zepbound) glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GIP-GLP-1 RA) medication as adjunctive therapy (another treatment used together with the primary treatment) for Crohn's disease patients with mild disease who are on stable doses of biologic medication (infliximab or adalimumab) and who have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote monitoring digital health system on adherence, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease type undetermined) initiating therapy with vedolizumab (Entvyio). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Assess and compare adherence to intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous vedolizumab maintenance therapy in patients with IBD using a novel remote monitoring system. 2. Assess symptom response to vedolizumab post induction (week 6-8) and during maintenance therapy (week 22) using a novel remote monitoring system. 3. Assess time to response to vedolizumab during induction (weeks 0-6) using a novel remote monitoring system. Researchers will compare medication adherence between participants using IV and subcutaneous vedolizumab maintenance therapy to see if adherence is lower with self-administration. Participants will be asked to register adherence to medication using the novel remote monitoring system each time they take a dose of vedolizumab and to respond to two questions about bowel symptoms weekly for the first 6 weeks after starting vedolizumab then monthly thereafter for 6 months. Additionally, participants will be asked to enter information regarding demographics and social determinants of health at baseline and other variables listed below at baseline and at weeks 2, 6, 14, and 22 post baseline unless otherwise denoted: * MARS-5 * Healthcare utilization (22 weeks only) * Harvey Bradshaw Index (Crohn's disease only) * Simple clinical colitis activity index (Ulcerative colitis only) * PROMIS Global Health Scale * PROMIS Anxiety * PROMIS Depression * PROMIS Sleep Disturbance * PROMIS Pain Interference * PROMIS Physical Function * IBD Self-Efficacy * Attitudinal Survey (22 weeks only)
This is a small, exploratory study that will investigate using an artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR), digital wellness application (app) to deliver a mental health support session in outpatient and hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and co-existing symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety or depression. The purpose of this study is to explore if a mental health support session using the app is feasible, safe, and acceptable to IBD patients and whether it could possibly help with physical and comorbid psychological symptoms of these patients.
The goals of this study are to test the effectiveness of a virtually delivered, group-based coping skills treatment program incorporating heart rate variability biofeedback to target autonomic dysfunction in youth diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The investigators will enroll participants with IBD in a biofeedback enhanced cognitive behaviorally based coping skills treatment. Participants will be randomized to biofeedback enhanced treatment or wait-list control.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether IBD patients have better disease outcomes and feel more empowered to manage their condition if they have access to text messaging with their clinical team and if their symptoms are more regularly monitored through text-based surveys. Researchers will compare participants who have access to text-based monitoring, communication and education to participants who have access to text-based education alone. Researchers will also examine if different social and other non-medical factors impact IBD symptoms and quality of life. All participants will: * complete 5 brief on-line surveys over 12 months about their IBD and social risk factors, * receive IBD education content by text message up to 2 times a week. Some participants will also: * receive additional surveys by text to monitor their IBD progression, * have the opportunity to directly text message their IBD medical team.
This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.
This study aims to determine if improved risk stratification tools and interventions to mitigate malnutrition reduce postoperative risk in patients undergoing elective or emergent resection surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and if adding immune modulation nutrition improves surgical outcomes. The primary objective is to assess whether preoperative malnutrition screening and intervention minimize postoperative complications. The secondary objective is to evaluate whether immune modulation nutrition in the peri-operative period decreases length of stay and major complications.
Optimizing health related-quality of life (HRQoL) for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), who often experience a relapsing disease course, is an essential component of care. Improving IBD disease control is linked to increased health-related quality of life. Even as many effective pharmacotherapies to promote disease control are available, evidence suggests that Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black IBD patients may not receive full benefit from these therapies compared to their Non-Hispanic White counterparts. Underlying mechanisms that contribute to observed disparities in the use of IBD medical therapies are likely multifactorial. Adequate access to treatment has been implicated. Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black IBD patients are more likely to be Medicaid-insured, and Medicaid insurance has been associated with increased emergency room visits, a proxy for sub-optimal IBD control. Medication adherence has also been proposed as a potential mediating factor. IBD therapies can be time-consuming and costly, which can pose a challenge in achieving medication adherence. While previous studies suggest Black IBD patients have lower medication adherence than Non-Hispanic White patients, it is unclear the extent to which social factors contribute to this observation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between social determinants of health, medication adherence, and HRQoL among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black IBD patients. Understanding potentially modifiable psychosocial factors that contribute to medication adherence and HRQoL will provide targets for later intervention towards the goal of health equity.
