In this study, we will recruit cirrhotic patients who are undergoing endocscopic procedures as part of their standard of care. Their endoscopies will reveal whether they have portal hypertensive gastropathy. After the procedure, we will ask the patients to provide us with a stool sample, which we will assess for occult GI bleeding. For those patients who DO NOT have occult GI bleeding, they will be contacted every 6 months for 2 years to check whether they have developed GI bleeding.

This proposal is to contribute to data registry and sample bank called Pediatrics Biorepository for Gastroenterology Clinical Research. Samples collected in this study may be used for future research which plan to advance the state of science in the hopes to develop novel diagnostic approaches and identify therapeutic targets.

This is a prospective, observational research study for patients with IBD under the care of a gastroenterologist provider. The objective of the Corrona Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Registry is to create a national cohort of patients with IBD.The diseases under study include Crohn's Disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Indeterminate Colitis (IC). Data collected will be used to better characterize the natural history of the disease and to extensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications approved for the treatment of IBD .Approximately 10,000 patients and 150 clinical sites in North America will be recruited to participate with no defined upper limit for either target. The Corrona IBD Registry is a long-term observational study; therefore, the duration of the registry has no pre-determined stop date.

The International Intestinal Failure Registry (IFR) is an initiative of the Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Association (IRTA) and The Transplantation Society (TTS) and will be managed by these organizations. The primary objective of this project is to create a large international database of children with intestinal failure to characterize their management and outcome and guide the development of best practices and evidence-based management.

This study is testing a traditional Japanese medicine called Daikenchuto (TU-100) for restoring gastrointestinal function after bowel resection surgery. Subjects will be randomized to either TU-100 or placebo for up to 10 days after surgery and will be followed for 30 days after surgery.

It is well understood that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a serious health condition.1 GERD, which often manifests as heartburn or regurgitation, is a chronic disorder associated with substantial morbidity and has a major adverse impact on patients quality of life.2, 3 Currently, there are limited options for GERD patients seeking a surgical option to treat their disease. One option for anti-reflux surgery is the LINX® Reflux Management System.4 The RETHINK REFLUX Registry (Research to further inform thinking about the role of LINX for Reflux Disease) will monitor long-term outcomes in the areas of safety, effectiveness, health economics and healthcare utilization over 10 years post-LINX surgery.

The goal of the COSMID (Comparison of Surgery and Medicine on the Impact of Diverticulitis) trial is to determine if elective colectomy is more effective than best medical management for patients with quality of life-limiting diverticular disease. The COSMID trial focuses on both patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes that matter to patients. The results are expected to establish an evidence-based approach to the care of millions of patients per year in the United States and help people impacted by this common condition make more informed treatment decisions.

TARGET-HCC is a 15-year, longitudinal, observational study of the natural history and management of patients with HCC. The study will address important clinical questions that remain unanswered in the management of HCC with a unique research registry of participants with HCC from academic and community real-world practices. TARGET-HCC is disease focused, not drug specific, which allows for continuous acquisition of real-world evidence regarding the natural history, management, and outcomes of treatment with current therapies and new treatments that may be utilized in usual clinical practice.

The study will compare two durations of treatment with Octreotide in patients with confirmed esophageal variceal hemorrhage who have undergone successful endoscopy and possible endoscopic therapy for control of bleeding. All procedures including the treatment are the standard of care. Octreotide infusion and endoscopic therapy for esophageal variceal bleeding are not investigational.
