Trial summary

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are currently of unknown etiology and incurable. In recent years, the incidence of IBD has increased dramatically in China, and it will become a common disease of digestive system in China. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Bidirectional, Multicenter Cohort Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are currently of unknown etiology and incurable. In recent years, the incidence of IBD has increased dramatically in China, and it will become a common disease of digestive system in China. Mesenteric adipose tissue hyperplasia indicates disease activity in IBD patients, and abnormal lipid metabolism plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD.

In addition to intestinal symptoms, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), also known as metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), has become the most common extraintinal manifestation in IBD patients. What are the similarities and differences between IBD patients with and without MASLD? Does the occurrence and severity of MASLD affect the clinical efficacy of IBD and increase the adverse outcome of IBD? There are no relevant studies to date. We have previously completed the construction of a cohort of 290 IBD patients using the IBD patient database and biobank of Dongfang Hospital, based on which we completed a cohort study on the effect of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth on IBD disease activity. Based on this cohort, multi-center cooperation was carried out to establish an IBD research cohort by collecting basic clinical information and biological samples such as peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa. The clinical characteristics of IBD patients with MASLD were analyzed. logistic regression, COX regression, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and other methods were used. To investigate the effect of MASLD on the clinical efficacy and prognosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This project will provide efficient, full and reliable research-grade data with Chinese characteristics for IBD clinical research, and improve the level of regional diagnosis and treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Fatty Liver Disease, run by Shanghai East Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2025. 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 China. 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 Lan Zhong, MD (8613162099450, lanzhong@tongji.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical remission or Endoscopic remission (time frame: Follow-up for 54 weeks). 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 23 Apr 2025.
