About this trial
A study of clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors in inflammatory bowel disease
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
control group: Patients who do not have colitis, cancer, and advanced polyp (the number of polyps ≥ 3, the size of polyps ≥ 1cm, high-grade adenoma, villous adenoma)
TNF-α inhibitor-naive IBD group: IBD patients who do not have a history of TNF-α inhibitor treatment
TNF-α inhibitor-treated IBD group: IBD patients who are treated with TNF-α inhibitor
Disqualifiers
Age under 18 years
Patients who were treated with antibiotics or probiotics within the last 3 months
Trial population
Patients who visited Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
Trial design
Case-control
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Endoscopic biopsy
Other interventionWhen patients have colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy for evaluation of their disease course, biopsied samples are collected. In the IBD group, samples are obtained at endoscopically active and/or inactive lesions. In the control group, samples are obtained at endoscopically normal lesions.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The expression level of multiple markers associated with IBD activity or prognosis
The expression level of multiple markers was evaluated through RT-qPCR using endoscopically biopsied samples or blood samples. Markers include TGF-b, SLUG, SNAIL, E-cadherin, vimentin, OLFM4, LGR5, a-SMA, FSP1, IL-17A, IL-23, TGF-b, IL-6, IFN-r, IL-1b, FOXP3, PD-1, CD68, PAD4, COL3A1, TIMP3, LOX, ACTA2, ITGB6, CAV-1 etc.
Secondary outcomes
The change of expression level of multiple markers associated with IBD activity or prognosis
The change of expression level of multiple markers was evaluated through RT-qPCR using endoscopically biopsied samples or blood samples. Markers include TGF-b, SLUG, SNAIL, E-cadherin, vimentin, OLFM4, LGR5, a-SMA, FSP1, IL-17A, IL-23, TGF-b, IL-6, IFN-r, IL-1b, FOXP3, PD-1, CD68, PAD4, COL3A1, TIMP3, LOX, ACTA2, ITGB6, CAV-1 etc. (compared to results 2 year ago)
