Studies 

Target-IBD 

A 5-year Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Target-IBD)

The goals of this study are to collect information on patients with IBD to determine the natural course of the disease and to determine how procedures or treatments that may be recommended by your doctors may affect IBD and general health. This research study is intended to observe any treatment for IBD in a large number of people in a "real life" setting. Researchers are interested in observing how these treatments, lifestyle changes, and counseling work in patients who are treated by their doctors in routine practice. Information about which treatments are being used and responses to these treatments will be collected to help researchers better understand how IBD is managed.

Criteria: 

Inclusion Criteria:

1) Adults and children (age 2 or older) with a diagnosis of Crohn's Disease (CD), Ulcerative colitis (UC), or Indeterminate colitis (IBDU) having been prescribed any IBD treatment (initial or subsequent) outside of a clinical trial.

2) Have plans for future visits at the site for continued management of IBD.

3) Must be seen within the Penn Health System.

Exclusion Criteria:

1) Inability to provide written consent/assent

2) Being enrolled in any interventional study or trial for IBD treatment. Note: Patient may be enrolled in other registries or studies where IBD treatment outcomes are observed and/or reported (such as center-based registries).

3) Prior total abdominal colectomy for UC or IBDU.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Neonatal Outcomes

I3: IBD Immunology Initiative

A translational clinical and tissue database study.

Actively enrolling all Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis patients seen within the University of Pennsylvania Health System.  The aim is to understand abnormalities in the immune system and other factors that impact IBD.

Crohn’s Disease

Title: A Study of Combination Therapy With Guselkumab and Golimumab in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease (DUET-CD)

Sponsor: Janssen
Primary Investigator: Faten Aberra, MD
CONTACT: Christine Gepty (christine.gepty@pennmedicine.upenn.edu or 215-349-8556)

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) for at least 3 months prior to baseline
  • Confirmed diagnosis of moderate to severe CD as assessed by Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), stool frequency (SF), abdominal pain (AP) score and simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD)
  • Demonstrated inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to at least one biologic approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease
  • If female and of childbearing potential, must meet the contraception and reproduction requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Complications of CD that may be anticipated to require surgery
  • Currently has or is suspected to have an abscess. Recent cutaneous and perianal abscesses are not exclusionary if drained and adequately treated at least 3 weeks before baseline, or 8 weeks before baseline for intra-abdominal abscesses, provided that there is no anticipated need for any further surgery
  • Has had any kind of bowel resection within 24 weeks, or any other intra-abdominal or other major surgery within 12 weeks
  • Has a draining (example, functioning) stoma or ostomy
  • Currently has a malignancy or has a history of malignancy within 5 years before screening (with the exception of a nonmelanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ that has been adequately treated with no evidence of recurrence for greater than or equal do (>=) 12 months before the first dose of study intervention)
