The purpose of this study is to Identify baseline and early treatment genetic, molecular, and cellular drivers of 4-month endoscopic response to anti-IL-23, anti-α4β7, or TNF-cycling among UC and CD patients with secondary loss of response or partial response to a prior anti-TNF.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of repeat treatment with adalimumab in pediatric patients who have ulcerative colitis.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety, and to assess the pharmacokinetics of adalimumab administered subcutaneously (SC) in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).

The investigators propose to study the safety of autologous mesenchymal stromal cell transfer using a biomatrix (the Gore® Bio-A®; Fistula Plug) in a Phase I study using a single dose of 20 million cells. Twenty adult patients (age 18 years or older) with refractory, complicated perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease will be enrolled. Subjects will undergo standard adjuvant therapy including drainage of infection and placement of a draining seton with continuation of pre-existing anti-Crohn's therapy. Six weeks post placement of the draining seton, the seton will be replaced with the MSC loaded Gore® Bio-A® fistula plug as per current clinical practice. The subjects will be subsequently followed for fistula response and closure for 24 months. This is an autologous product derived from the patient and used only for the same patient.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the study medication) and safety of subcutaneously (under the skin) administered golimumab in pediatric participants (aged 2 to 17 years) with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate vedolizumab pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability in pediatric participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile of long-term vedolizumab IV treatment in pediatric participants with UC or CD.

To assess clinical response to MMX mesalamine/mesalazine between a low and high dose in children and adolescents aged 5-17 years with mild to moderate Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or who are in remission.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a Stem cell transfer using a biomatrix (The Gore Fistula Plug) in patients with persistent symptoms of post-surgical gastrointestinal leaks despite current standard radiologic and endoscopic treatments.  The subjects will be followed for fistula response and closure for 18 months. This is an autologous product (derived from the patient) and used only for the same patient.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum and the incidence is increasing, but the etiology remains unknown. Patients may require a proctocolectomy due to refractory disease. Prior to an operation, UC is treated with antibiotic therapy, immunomodulatory therapy and immunosuppressive agents. While there is an increasing number of approved biologics for the treatment of UC, there are many patients that still suffer from refractory disease. Thus, alternative mechanisms of therapy are desperately needed.

Treatments that have the potential to reduce mucosal inflammation could alleviate the pathology of luminal UC. This trial will use arterially delivered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to produce these regenerative signals allowing for mucosal healing. This study will enroll patients with medically refractory moderate to severe inflammatory UC who are or plan to be scheduled for a colectomy. Patients enrolled will be those who failed all attempts at standard treatment including antibiotics, corticosteroids, immunomodulator, and/or biologic therapy.

Participants will undergo screening for study, if eligible, participants will be dosed with 15 million or 30 million cells will be administered via IA delivery with interventional radiology. Participant study visits after study intervention includes visits on: Day 1, Week 1, Week 2, Week 8, Week 24, Week 52, and Week 104.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether serum infliximab concentrations measured at the time of loss of clinical response will identify pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who would benefit (regain clinical response) from dose escalation above the currently approved dose.

This investigation constitutes an initial evaluation of the stoma occlusion device in humans with a mature permanent Brooke ileostomy. The overall objective of this study is to assess feasibility and initial operating characteristics of a novel stoma occlusion device. The study will recruit 20 patients for placement of the device into the mature Brooke ileostomy and subsequent 2 hour observation period. The device will remain in the ileostomy for up to 2 hours.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ustekinumab in subjects from 2 through less than (<) 18 years old in the USA, or 6 through less than (<) 18 years old in other countries and determine if it is similar to that observed in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). Also to assess the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of ustekinumab in the treatment of moderately to severely active CD. The main part of the study continues to Week 16, at which point all subjects who are receiving benefit from ustekinumab maintenance therapy (as determined by the investigator) are eligible to enter the long-term extension (LTE) and continue to receive ustekinumab. The study extension ends at Week 236.

This study seeks to identify predictive fecal, blood, and tissue biomarkers, in which biomarkers can be used to identify responders that will be reflective of disease severity or predict response to Janus Kinase Inhibitor Therapy. The benefits to the sub-study are to develop a population PK/PD model to characterize the relationships between local and systemic drug exposure and clinical, endoscopic, histologic, or biologic response to therapy.  Study also seeks to collect safety data from these subjects on Janus Kinase Inhibitor Therapy.

This study is an extension to re-treat partial and non-responders from the previously approved Phase 1 MCS-AFP protocols IRB #12-009716 (Crohn's Disease perianal fistulas) and 15-003200 (cryptoglandular perianal fistulas).

The purpose of this treatment plan is to use a treatment option only being used within a phase 1 research trial using an autologous mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) coated fistula plug.

Autologous means these cells to coat the plug come from you.

This treatment plan is still experimental and isn’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug for a current ongoing research study. We don’t know all the ways that the MSC coated fistula plug may affect people.

The plan is to have 1 patient take part in this treatment plan at Mayo Clinic.
