Lipid Mediators in Colonic Biopsies as Biomarkers of Disease Activity of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (MICILIP)

February 21, 2017 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse

Quantitative Analysis of Lipid Mediators in Colonic Biopsies From Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and From Control Patients.

We will quantify one of the lipid compounds (5,6 epoxy eicosatrienoic acid (5,6 EET), 5,6- EpoxyEicosaTrienoic acid) in colonic biopsies of Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients. We will evaluate its possible use as a pathological activity biomarker and its potential as a therapeutic target.

We hypothesized that 5,6-EET is present in human colonic tissues in varying quantities depending on the pathological state of the IBD patient.

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The project is an exploratory physiopathological/translational pilot study, aiming at understanding the relative importance of the lipid compounds, especially 5,6-EET, in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Using mass spectrometry, 5,6-EET and other 33 lipid metabolites will be quantified in situ in colonic biopsies from IBD patients and from control patients. We will compare quantities of 5,6-EET in inflammatory and non-inflammatory zones of biopsies from IBD patient to biopsies from control patient. We will establish a cluster of lipid compounds associated with pathological activity. We will determine the exposed profile of receptor lipid mediators expressing to the 5,6-EET lipid compound and one of its signalization.

All data will be submit to statistical analysis to confirm relevance.

We expect this pilot study to help us define 5,6-EET and other components of the same metabolic family as markers for IBD activity. It could point lipid mediators and their receptors as potential new therapeutic targets.

It will increase our knowledge on current treatment efficiency by evidencing lipid markers for the inflammatory condition.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
OTHER: IBD patients
Patients (diagnosed with IBD) having a screening colonic biopsy
Other: Colonic Biopsy

Colonoscopy or coloscopy can provide a visual diagnosis and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected colorectal cancer lesions.

The endoscope is then passed through the anus up the rectum, the colon, and ultimately the terminal ileum. The endoscope has a movable tip and multiple channels for instrumentation, air, suction and light. Biopsies are frequently taken for histology, needed for cancer or IBD diagnosis.

Extra-biopsies for research purpose will only be performed if the clinician decides that they are necessary for the clinical diagnosis or for the disease follow-up.

For this protocol, collecting these extra biopsies should last under 5 minutes and should not extend the procedure by more than this time.
OTHER: Control Group
individuals undergoing screening colonic biopsy for colon cancer or polyp detection, who have not been diagnosed with any intestinal pathology.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures
