Phase 1
Sponsor: Harvard Medical/Brigham
Description: One key provision of the FDA Amendments Act of 2007 granted the FDA the power to mandate that manufacturers implement so-called risk evaluation and mitigation strategies (REMS) for drugs with certain serious side effects to make it more likely that these treatments would be used in ways that maximized their benefits and minimized their risks. A REMS can simply entail a specially-designed medication guide to highlight appropriate use to prescribers, or can involve more complex elements to assure safe use (ETASU) typically reserved for drugs with the most serious safety concerns. Such ETASU can range from patient monitoring through enrollment in a registry; person, place, and volume restrictions on dispensation; and physician and pharmacist training and certification. Little is known about the effects of such programs on physicians, patients, and manufacturers, including whether such additional prescribing burdens reduce patient access, enhance costs, or improve patients’ experiences with their illnesses. We are seeking to better understand the burdens and benefits of ETASU REMS on patient care.
Survey
Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai Hospital
Description: Microbes that live inside the human body provide a wide range of functions that the human body lacks. However, they are also linked to diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (collectively called inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD). Recently, it has been shown that newborns carry bacteria transferred from their mothers. We would like to determine how and when maternal bacteria are transferred to a baby from mothers with and without IBD. This information can help us develop novel strategies to limit risk transmission from a mother to a baby.

Open Label Extension
Sponsor: The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) - Research Institute
Description: The purpose of this research study is to help us understand whether a diet can help children with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) to feel better without needing to take additional medications. Currently, it is thought that UC causes an imbalance in the good and bad bacteria that live inside our gut. We also know that certain foods can change how these good and bad bacteria live, and possibly contribute to UC symptoms. We think a specific diet could help create a better balance in your gut and help you feel better. This study is trying to figure out if a diet can help treat UC.
