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 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult

Study population: Diagnosis of IBD will be based on combination between clinical, laboratory, radiological, endoscopic and/or histopathological data Indications of biological therapy are based on the current diagnostic and treatment recommendations of Epidemiological Committee of European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO). In most countries, moderate to severe luminal CD, or perianal or fistulising CD, or moderate to severe UC patients with immunosuppressant or corticosteroid refractory disease, or those with intolerance or contraindication to conventional therapies are eligible to be treated with biological therapy

Who may be able to join

  • Any patient who is above age of 18 years old and diagnosed to have IBD (UC and/or CD) and eligible for biological therapy will be recruited in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with IBD who aren't eligible to biological therapy
  • Pregnant patients with IBD
  • Patients with IBD who are under age of 18 years old
  • Patient's refusal

About this study

Official title: Biological Therapy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease :Laboratory ,Endoscopic and Quality of Life Assessment

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by chronic, relapsing inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and an inability to down regulate the inflammatory immune response once activated. IBD encompasses ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) and indeterminate colitis which is not clearly diagnosed as UC or CD. The peak age of onset of IBD is 15 to 30 years, with a second smaller peak occurring between 50 and 70 years of age

Read the detailed description

The incidence of IBD is rapidly increasing in newly industrialized countries strongly implicating environmental factors. The pathogenesis of IBD is not fully understood, but key influences are thought to include genetics, environmental factors, immune response, and gut microbiota.It is recognised that the availability of vitamin D is important in regulating gut mucosal immunity; with studies suggesting that vitamin D may affect gut epithelial integrity, innate immune barrier function, and the development and function of T cells The predominant symptoms of IBD are diarrhea, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, weight loss, malnutrition and fatigue which can substantially impact a patient's quality of life (QoL), largely due to the psychosocial impact of symptoms. A survey of IBD outpatients found that concerns about loss of bowel control, producing unpleasant odours, achieving their full potential in the workplace, feeling dirty or smelly, and issues with sexual relationships, ranked highly for both UC and CD

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 31 Oct 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 Egypt. 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 Ahmed M Abu-Elfatth (+18677791, ahmed.abuelfatth@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

quality of life in patients with IBD after biological therapy (time frame: one year). 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 NCT05599867, 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 31 Oct 2022.
