Investigating immune-related intestinal diseases in adults

Pathogenic Study of Adult Immune Enteropathies

Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France · NCT04280510

This study looks at how certain immune-related gut diseases in adults affect the balance of cells in the intestines and liver to see if it can lead to serious complications.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines the mechanisms that disrupt intestinal homeostasis in conditions such as celiac disease, autoimmune enteropathy, and inflammatory bowel diseases. It aims to understand how lymphocyte transformations can lead to lymphomatous complications associated with these immune enteropathies. Additionally, the study will assess the loss of hepatic lymphocytic homeostasis in liver-related autoimmune diseases through blood sample collection and gastrointestinal biopsies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and over who are diagnosed with celiac disease, autoimmune enteropathy, or inflammatory bowel diseases.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of immune enteropathies, potentially reducing complications for patients.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on specific mechanisms in immune enteropathies, similar studies have shown promise in understanding autoimmune diseases, suggesting potential for success.
