A 5-year Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients (age 2 and above) undergoing IBD therapy designed to specifically address important clinical questions that remain incompletely answered from registration trials. In addition to the study database, a biospecimen repository will also be included so that translational studies of viral resistance, genomics, and biomarkers of response may be performed. Also, the right to collect retrospective data on these IBD patients will be reserved.

Characterizing Multi-omic Postoperative Crohn's Disease (ChaMP)

The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.
