3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Background: Ongoing and future research projects that study gastrointestinal diseases depend on access to biological samples and clinical data. Researchers want to study people who are seen and treated for these diseases. This may help them assess and treat these diseases better in the future. Objective: To collect data and samples from people being seen and/or treated for gastrointestinal problems at NIH, to use in future research. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older who have known or suspected gastrointestinal disorders or need screening, treatment, or follow-up per current medical guidelines. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam. Their medical records will be reviewed. Participants will be seen by doctors based on the ailment they have. Their condition will be treated just like it would at a doctor s office. But the data and samples collected will be used for future research. Participants may give blood, urine, and/or stool samples. If participants have an endoscopy or colonoscopy as part of their standard care and samples are taken, they may be asked to give their leftover samples to NIH. Or, they may be asked to have extra samples taken for NIH to use. These samples may include gastric acid and/or tissue from the lining of the stomach or intestines. If samples are not taken as part of their standard care, they may be asked to have samples taken for NIH to use. Data will be stored at NIH. The data systems are password protected. Samples will be coded. Participants will take part in the study for as long as they agree to be seen for their disease....
Background: - Gastrointestinal diseases and disorders affect the throat, stomach, and intestines. There are many different kinds of these diseases. Clinical trials are being developed to study new ways to treat them. People who are interested in clinical trials need to be screened before they can take part in the studies. Researchers want to evaluate people with different stomach and intestine disorders to see if they are eligible for clinical trials. Objectives: - To study people who have gastrointestinal disorders and see if they are eligible for clinical trials. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have or may have a gastrointestinal disorder. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood, urine, and stool samples will be collected. Imaging studies such as x-rays and ultrasound will check to see if the disorder has affected other organs. * Participants may have tests as needed depending on their disorder. These tests include the following: * Colonoscopy and endoscopy of the large intestine, esophagus, and stomach. * Stomach acid analysis to look at stomach pH levels. * Wireless capsule endoscopy to take pictures of the small intestine. * Hydrogen breath testing to study issues like bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. * Sitz Marker Study to see how fast stool moves through the colon. * Participants may donate extra blood, urine, or stool samples for study. They may also donate stomach contents or tissue from the gut. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study. However, participants may be admitted to other clinical trials.
A Phase IIa single arm open-label study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and PK of F-652 in combination with systemic corticosteroids in subjects who have undergone Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) and have newly diagnosed grade II-IV lower GI acute Graft Verses Host Disease (aGVHD). Treatment with F-652 will be once a week for 4 weeks, with post treatment follow up visits on days 28, 56, 180 and 365.
