IDENTIFICATION OF PROGNOSTIC AND PREDICTIVE BIOMARKERS OF NATURAL HISTORY AND RESPONSE TO BIOTHERAPIES IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE : i-BANK

Not applicable Interventional Central Hospital, Nancy, France · NCT03809728

This study is trying to find specific markers in people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis that can help predict how their disease will progress and how well they will respond to new treatments.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, specifically Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, to identify biomarkers that can predict disease progression and response to biotherapies. It evaluates treatment responses through various objective measures, including endoscopic, radiological, and biological assessments. The study also correlates treatment outcomes with genomic, epigenomic, and microbiota data, taking into account environmental factors such as nutrition and physical activity.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

Not a fit: Patients with undetermined colitis or those without an established diagnosis of Crohn's disease may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in identifying biomarkers for inflammatory bowel diseases, suggesting that this approach has potential for success.
