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

NCT01990716 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 124

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
  • Colitis, Ulcerative
  • Crohn Disease

Interventions

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.
