Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: healthy controls and patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn´s disease).

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with active IBD, and endoscopic and histological diagnosis of CD or UC that attend a colonoscopy with sedation performed by medical criteria.
  • Patients without an IBD diagnosis, or other types of inflammatory, allergic, malignant or autoimmune diseases, prior to their inclusion in this project. All patients will attend a colonoscopy with sedation at medical judgment with biopsy indication for histopathological study as in cases of diarrhea but also due to changes in the bowel transit, rectal bleeding or screening for gastrointestinal diseases. Patients will be paired in age and gender with the IBD groups. All patients will have no signs of macroscopic or microscopic inflammation hence excluding the presence of microscopic colitis.

Who cannot join

  • Age less than 18 years
  • Chronic disease or any other advanced clinically significant pathology, uncontrolled by investigator judgment.
  • Should be with medication, this will be unchanged in the 3 months prior to colonoscopy.
  • Alcohol or drugs.
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Do not sign the informed consent form (see "Ethical Issues") In any case NO colonoscopies exclusively targeted for sampling for this project will be made

About this study

To characterize circulating DC subsets from healthy controls and IBD patients and to assess, following an ex vivo challenge, the effect of anti-TNF (infliximab, adalimumab and golimumab), anti-p40 -IL-12/IL-23- (ustekinumab) and anti-α4β7 (vedolizumab) immunomodulators on both the GI production of soluble immune mediators and the mucosal capacity to alter the recruitment capacity of circulating DC subsets. It is expected that such approach will provide further information on the action mechanisms of such therapies on IBD patients, allowing a better understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease and the identification of tissue-specific therapeutic targets, thus avoiding collateral problems associated with systemic immunomodulation.

Being tested
Ex-vivo stimulation of cells with infliximab, golimumab, adalimumab, vedolizumab and ustekinumab

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ex-vivo stimulation of cells with infliximab, golimumab, adalimumab, vedolizumab and ustekinumabBiological

    Ex-vivo conditioning of lamina propria and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

    Here, we will address whether the current available biological therapies for IBD patients (infliximab, golimumab, adalimumab, vedolizumab and ustekinumab) elicit a differential effect on the mucosal capacity to recruit circulating leukocytes on an ex-vivo approach using transwell culture systems.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Effect of biological drugs on the secretion of gut-chemoattractants by the intestinal mucosa

    To assess, ex-vivo, the capacity of the IBD mucosa to recruit subsets of circulating leukocytes following mucosal conditioning with biological drugs.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Fundación de Investigación Biomédica - Hospital Universitario de La Princesa.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of biological drugs on the secretion of gut-chemoattractants by the intestinal mucosa (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Feb 2019.
