16 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a study of immune responses after eating gluten powder in people with celiac disease and healthy controls.
This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is designed to compare effects of aldafermin, (NGM282), 1 mg, and placebo given daily by subcutaneous injection on bowel functions and hepatic synthesis and fecal excretion of bile acids in patients with diarrhea associated with bile acid malabsorption (BAM).
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ 2.5+ adults with celiac disease (CeD).
This study aims to investigate how knowledge of gluten immunogenic peptide (GIP) levels in stool and urine affects subsequent adherence to a gluten-free diet. Half of the participants will receive results in real-time using a home device and the other half will store samples to be tested at the end of the 30 week study. Participants will also have a diet review with a dietitian at the beginning of the end of their study and be asked questions about their symptoms, gluten-free diet adherence and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of oral pancrelipase MT in the treatment of adult and pediatric/adolescent cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with clinical symptoms of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).
GI distress is widely prevalent among athletes, ranging from 30 to 90% in recreationally and professionally active athletes. As the recipient of nutrients, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays an important role in athleticism. The following pilot project aims to better understand if a fructose load after hiking under heat stress will result in a meaningful hydrogen breath elevation as a marker for malabsorption in healthy participants, and if supplementation of a multi-ingredient fermented whey supplement will result in a different hydrogen breath response rate after a heat stress hiking test.
This study will evaluate the possibility of a differential effect of eluxadoline on altered bowel function in Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D) participants with and without evidence of Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM).
To compare with a randomized trial (n=15 per treatment group), effects of colesevelam and placebo treatment, on colonic transit, bowel functions, permeability and tight junction expression in rectosigmoid mucosa of IBS-D with Bile Acid Malabsorption.
Our hypothesis is that the medication approved for treatment of high blood cholesterol levels, Colesevelam HCl (WELCHOL), decreases colonic transit and permeability in patients with diarrhea due to irritable bowel syndrome. This effect is thought to result from the effect of the medication on bile acids, which can cause diarrhea.
Children with inadequate intestinal absorption due to loss of large amounts of small bowel require intravenous nutrition (feeding through the vein) to sustain hydration and nutrition to avoid starvation and dehydration; however, intravenous (IV) nutrition can lead to complications including liver failure. Tube feeding directly to the small intestine avoids the complications of IV nutrition, but fats are not fully digestible due to inadequate bowel function. We propose to predigest the fat using a small cartridge attached to the feeding tube to allow for rapid absorption with the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for intravenous nutrition. Goal of the observational study is to determine safety and tolerability of Relizorb Enzyme Cartridge for an additional 90 days after the original trial

12 month study testing mobile delivery of health information and connections to professionals and peers to improve health of teen/young adult HPN users.
The purpose of this study is to test Mobile Technologies in Assisting Patients \& Family Caregivers in Healthy Living and complex home care by connecting to information and professionals from a distance.
Patients who are being asked to participate in this study have a short small bowel and will be prescribed to take the medication: Zorbtive® ("Zorbtive/Somatropin/(rHGH)"). Zorbtive® is an FDA approved recombinant human growth hormone (rHGH). The investigators want to see if taking this medication improves small bowel function by helping it to take in food, nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The investigators also believe that if the small bowel is absorbing food and nutrients better, liver function will improve as well. Therefore, liver function will also be monitored during the course of the study by performing blood tests.
To assess the frequency and nature of adverse events in infants fed a free amino acid based infant formula.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.
