Seattle Spatial Transcriptomic Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Evaluation (STRIDE) (STRIDE)

April 21, 2026 updated by: Betty Zheng, Seattle Children's Hospital

Seattle Spatial Transcriptomic Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Evaluation

This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Research procedures will coincide with clinical visits at institutional standards. As part of their clinical disease evaluation, participants will have blood, stool, and tissue collected as indicated by their disease course. Additional research samples or data will be collected during these visits. Participants will be asked to collect urine samples specifically for research.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Participants will enroll before their initial diagnostic procedure. After pathology results are reported, participants will be categorized based on the assigned diagnoses: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) [Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Indeterminate Colitis (IC)] vs Disorders of the Brain-Gut Interactions (DGBI).

Participation in the IBD cohort will last for three years.

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a test procedure to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine.
Colonoscopy is a test procedure to examine the lining of the different portions of the large intestine: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.
Disorders of the Brain-Gut Interactions

Participants will enroll before their initial diagnostic procedure. After pathology results are reported, participants will be categorized based on the assigned diagnoses: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) [Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and Indeterminate Colitis (IC)] vs Disorders of the Brain-Gut Interactions (DGBI).

-The DGBI cohort will be subdivided into: Esophageal Disorder, Gastroduodenal Disorder, Bowel Disorder, Centrally Mediated Disorders of GI Pain, Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi Disorder, Anorectal Disorder, Childhood Functional GI Disorders: Neonate/Toddler, Childhood Functional GI Disorders: Child/Adolescent

Participation in the DGBI cohort will include the initial sample and data collection as well an one further medical record extraction at month 24.
