Trial summary

The availability of noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and stratification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) courses is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluated the accuracy of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis on diagnosis and stratification of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds in Exhaled Air in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients and Healthy Control

The availability of noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis and stratification of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) courses is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluated the accuracy of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis on diagnosis and stratification of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Read the detailed description

Background: The diagnosis and differentiation of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is challenging due to the absence of a gold standard diagnostic modality for confirmation. Exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis focusing on diagnosis and differentiation of IBD is a promising approach. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluated the accuracy of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Method: A single center, prospective study of diagnostic testing will be conducted, recruiting crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and healthy controls (HC). The exhaled breath volatile metabolite will be analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The informations of patient's disease location, disease activity, laboratory parameters and current medications will be collected to determine the feasibility of exhaled breath volatile metabolite analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Volatile Organic Compounds and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yoo Jin Lee, Professor (82-53-250-8034, doctorlyj@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Volatile organic compounds differentiating the study groups (time frame: At the time of breath sampling). 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 3 Sep 2020.
