About this study

Official title: Predictors of Response After Induction Therapy With TNF-alpha Inhibitor in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Comparison to Normal

A study of clinical characteristics and potential prognostic factors in inflammatory bowel disease

Read the detailed description

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory disease composed of two types: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). It is difficult to cure the IBD completely and patients with clinical or endoscopic remission can worsen again. Therefore, predicting the prognosis of patients with IBD is still challenging.

Endoscopic biopsied samples and blood samples from IBD patients and non-IBD controls have been collected and the expression levels of multiple markers which are associated with disease activity and severity will be assessed. The correlation between expression levels of multiple markers and prognosis will be evaluated.

Being tested
Endoscopic biopsy

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic biopsyOther

    When 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.

What is being measured

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

  1. 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.

    Measured: baseline (at the time of enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 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)

    Measured: Every 2 years. The examination will be suspended when treatment was ended.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Ulcerative Colitis, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Yu kyung Jun, M.D., Ph.D (+ 82-31-787-7845, juk0220@nate.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The expression level of multiple markers associated with IBD activity or prognosis (time frame: baseline (at the time of enrollment)). 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 NCT05653011, 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 24 Apr 2026.
