Project description:A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of netazepide (YF476) in patients with BE without dysplasia was performed. Gene expression before and after treatment with netazepide and with a placebo was measured with RNASeq
Project description:Microarray Analysis of Human Whole Blood and Intestinal Biopsy Samples from a Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study of Ustekinumab in Crohn’s Disease
Project description:We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with moderate-to-severe AD unresponsive to conventional topical or systemic treatment. Fezakinumab (ILV-094; anti IL-22 monoclonal antibody) monotherapy was administered for 12 weeks (primary endpoint), and clinical responses were followed until week 20. AD transcriptome significantly improved at week 12 in fezakinumab vs. placebo (p<1E-18).
Project description:We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with moderate-to-severe AD to test the efficacy of JAK/SYK-inhibitor ASN002. ASN002 significantly suppressed key AD inflammatory pathways, corresponding to clinical response, and may be an effective novel therapeutic agent for moderate-to-severe AD.
Project description:Exploratory study on the kinetics of psoriasis symptoms, pruritus intensity and lesional biomarkers in patients with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis treated with subcutaneous secukinumab (300 mg) during a 16 week open-label run-in phase followed by a 16 week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled withdrawal phase.
Project description:In this randomised placebo-controlled trial, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients were treated with faecal material from a healthy donor (n=8, allogenic FMT) or with their own faecal microbiota (n=8, autologous FMT). The faecal transplant was administered by whole colonoscopy into the caecum (30 g of stool in 150 ml sterile saline). Two weeks before the FMT (baseline) as well as two and eight weeks after the FMT, the participants underwent a sigmoidoscopy, and biopsies were collected at a standardised location (20-25 cm from the anal verge at the crossing with the arteria iliaca communis) from an uncleansed sigmoid. In patients treated with allogenic FMT, predominantly immune response-related genes sets were induced, with the strongest response two weeks after FMT. In patients treated with autologous FMT, predominantly metabolism-related gene sets were affected.
Project description:The goal of this study is to define the molecular signatures of SLE patients at baseline in BMS IM101042 trial. IM101042 (NCT00119678) is a phase IIb, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abatacept vs placebo on a background of oral glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus and the prevention of subsequent lupus flares, sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Project description:Animal and epidemiological studies suggest that lycopene and fish oil may modify the risk or delay progression of prostate cancer, however, the molecular mechanisms involved are poorly understood. We examined the effects of these micronutrients on prostate gene expression in a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial (Molecular Effects of Nutritional Supplements, MENS).
Project description:A gene expression profiling study was conducted in which skin biopsy samples were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to microarrays from patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who participated in the phase 1, guselkumab first-in-human randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. At week 12, significant reductions in psoriasis gene expression were observed in guselkumab-treated patients.
Project description:BrighTNess was a phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that enrolled stage II/III TNBC patients to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel followed by doxorubicin/cyclophosphamid (AC), or the same plus carboplatin or carboplatin plus the PARP inhibitor veliparib concurrent with paclitaxel. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was performed on pre-treatment research biopsies.
