What this trial studies

The CELESTE cohort is a prospective observational study involving patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) at three centers in Nantes. It aims to create a biobank of biological samples from patients with active disease, ranging from those new to treatment to those resistant to multiple therapies. The study will follow these patients over one year to identify new cellular and molecular signatures that could indicate successful therapeutic strategies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with an established diagnosis of active IBD requiring surgery or endoscopy.

Not a fit: Patients with quiescent IBD or those who refuse participation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

How similar studies have performed: Similar cohort studies have shown promise in identifying biomarkers for treatment success, suggesting potential for this approach.
