4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of cyclically-dosed rectal budesonide foam in participants with active ulcerative proctitis (UP) or ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (UPS).
The purpose of this study is to establish the efficacy profile of rectally administered budesonide foam, as compared to an equivalent volume of rectally administered placebo foam over the same dosing schedule, in participants who present with a diagnosis of active, mild to moderate, ulcerative proctitis (UP) or ulcerative proctosigmoiditis (UPS). During the study, eligible participants will be allowed to maintain previously established oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) treatment at doses up to 4.8 grams/day (g/day).

First-degree relatives of people with inflammatory bowel disease ("IBD," including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) have an increased risk for developing IBD themselves. This study will follow unaffected first-degree relatives (who do not have IBD) over time to understand if their behaviors, diet, and biomarkers for IBD can help predict who gets IBD and if IBD can be prevented in these high-risk individuals. Participants will be asked once per year to complete a questionnaire and have their blood, stool, and urine collected. The anticipated length of the study (registry) is approximately 10 years or longer. Parts of this study, such as the questionnaires and stool and urine collection, may be done from home, while other parts, such as the blood draw, will need to be done from Massachusetts General Hospital.
