Trial summary

Over the last few years, dysbiosis has emerged as a possible trigger of gut inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a promising therapeutic target. The complex diversity of microbiota was initially highlighted by the powerful new tools in genetics, including next-generation sequencing (NGS). Read more about this study

About this study

Over the last few years, dysbiosis has emerged as a possible trigger of gut inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a promising therapeutic target. The complex diversity of microbiota was initially highlighted by the powerful new tools in genetics, including next-generation sequencing (NGS). NGS permitted to decipher the composition of bacterial intestinal communities, but also that of the gut virome. Since then, the evidence of a dynamic instability of the enteric virome in IBD has grown considerably. IBD patients present an expansion of bacteriophages (Caudovirales) associated with decreased bacterial diversity. Moreover, gut virome richness seems to differ between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. These insights open the gate of new diagnostic, predictive, and therapeutic approaches. However, little is known about pediatric IBD gut virome in terms of variability and evolution under the influence of different treatments (exclusive enteral nutrition, immunosuppressive therapy and biologics). The aim of this study is to evaluate the gut family viral diversity and relative abundance of eukaryotes and prokaryotes in paediatric IBD patients

What participants receive

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

  • Collection of stool and blood samplesOther

    For each visit, stool and blood samples will be collected during a pediatric gastroenterology day hospital stay.

    This collection of stool and blood specific IVOIRE study is carried out in the context of examination already planned for the usual care of the patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation over time of change of the gut virome

    Abundance measure: number of sequences generated for a given family or species.

    Viral isolation, extraction, and amplification of viral nucleic acids from patient's stools.

    Next generation sequencing Statistical analysis

    Measured: at the inclusion, 6 months and one year

  2. Evaluation over time of change of the gut virome

    Measure of relative abundance: abundance of a given family or species relative to other species or families in the sample.

    eukaryote versus prokaryote virus

    Viral isolation, extraction, and amplification of viral nucleic acids from patient's stools.

    Next generation sequencing Statistical analysis

    Measured: at the inclusion, 6 months and one year

  3. Evaluation over time of change of the gut virome

    Measure of alpha diversity by the Shannon index which takes into account the number of species present, but also the distribution of these species.

    Viral isolation, extraction, and amplification of viral nucleic acids from patient's stools.

    Next generation sequencing Statistical analysis

    Measured: at the inclusion, 6 months and one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 6 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 29 Nov 2022. 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 France. 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?

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?

Evaluation over time of change of the gut virome (time frame: at the inclusion, 6 months and one year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03967236, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Nov 2022.
