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 69 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Retrospective observational study involving patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (n=8) and patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)(n=8) who had undergone surgery according to the standard of care. We will use the biological material from surgery carried out for normal clinical practice, and already stored at -80°C for IBD Biobank project. The retrospective referral period of time goes from July 2022 until July 2023.

Who may be able to join

  • adult patient (age ≥18 years), both male and female patients with histologically confirmed CD and UC undergoing intestinal resection according to standard of care due to complicating disease, regardless of their current or past medical treatment;
  • patients that have signed the IBD Biobank informed consent and consented to the use of their own biological material in future study or pertaining to the same field of investigation.

Who cannot join

  • - patients with unconfirmed both UC and CD diagnoses;
  • patients with superimposed dysplasia or cancer diagnosis and resections for which post- operative endoscopic assessment of recurrence is not feasible;
  • patients who have not signed the IBD Biobank informed consent.

About this study

The goal of this retrospective observational study is to obtain the spatial resolution of the entire intestinal fibrotic process through the technology STOmics Stereoseq. For this study we will use surgical specimens from 8 UC e 8 CD previously collected for the already approved project, IBD Biobank, and stored at -80° C.

Read the detailed description

This is a monocentric observational study in which we will use the biological material from surgery carried out for normal clinical practice, and already stored at -80°C.

This project has as purpose:

  1. To unravel the changes in the intestine leading to complications in CD and UC patients. In particular, we aim to identify the cell populations, their spatial organization, interactions, and specific transcriptional shifts, leading the progression from healthy tissue to inflamed and from inflamed to fibrotic tissue. We will be interested in producing a profile of Spatial transcriptomics of all areas of the surgical specimen.
  2. To compare the spatial organization and differential gene expression of tissue

What is being measured

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

  1. Profile of Spatial transcriptomics of all areas of the surgical specimen from UC and CD patients

    to perform a transcriptomic analysis of the entire surgical specimen will be embedded in OCT block. To overcome any failures in the OCT embedding, we will cut serial sections and stain them to evaluate the presence of all intestinal regions of interest, and then choose the adjacent one for the spatial analysis. Moreover, we will evaluate by histological assessment whether one single piece of surgical specimen will encompass not inflamed, inflamed (in case of UC) and also fibrotic areas (in case of CD)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patients With Histologically Confirmed CD Undergoing Intestinal Resection According to Standard of Care Due to Complicating Disease and Patients With Histologically Confirmed UC Undergoing Intestinal Resection According to Standard of Care Due to Complicating Disease, run by IRCCS San Raffaele at 2 sites in Italy.

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 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

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?

Profile of Spatial transcriptomics of all areas of the surgical specimen from UC and CD patients (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jul 2024.
