The Comparison Between the Biomarkers in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients and General Control Group

March 2, 2020 updated by: Bo-In Lee

The Comparison Between That Expression Pattern and Disease Activity of Variable Biomarkers in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients and General Control Group. Multicenter, Prospective Study

The aims of this study is to investigate a blood-based biomarker that can replace endoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. For this purpose, blood sample of patients wiht inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn 's disease) was collected at the same time the endoscopy is performed, stored after centrifugation, and analyzed accordingly. Selected biomarkers from the blood sample were investigated to compare those of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and those of general controls. Males and females over the age of 19 participated in the study and are excluded if they have chronic kidney disease or blood clotting disease. The outcome is a find of a blood-based biomarker that best reflects a disease activity.

Study Overview

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

Inflammatory bowel disease refers to chronic inflammation of the unknown origin that occurs in the intestine. It usually refers to ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, which are idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases. While it had been known to be a common disease in the western world, in recent decades the incidence of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease has rapidly increased in Korea as well. Endoscopic examination is a gold standard in order to determine the activity of inflammatory bowel disease, but it is hardly performed due to the cost and time of a test. Therefore, it is necessary to find a blood-based biomarker that replaces endoscopy. The objective of the study is to identify a new inflammatory marker that replaces endoscopy by comparing blood samples of patients with inflammatory bowel disease with those of general controls.

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
measurement of blood-based biomarkers to predict disease activity 1
Time Frame: within 12 weeks of the blood sampling
REG3 alpha (ng/mL)
within 12 weeks of the blood sampling
measurement of blood-based biomarkers to predict disease activity 2
Time Frame: within 12 weeks of the blood sampling
hs-CRP (mg/dL)
within 12 weeks of the blood sampling

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
