Study on prediction of treatment response using fecal EDN in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
EDN biomarker study in IBD
A multicenter prospective observational study to evaluate fecal eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) for predicting treatment response and selecting biologic agents in inflammatory bowel disease
IBD-EDN prospective multicenter study
| Japan |
Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease)

Others
NO
The objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate whether serum and fecal eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), as well as the EDN/fecal calprotectin ratio, reflect disease activity, endoscopic activity, inflammatory phenotypes, and treatment response to biologics or small-molecule therapies in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Others
Exploratory evaluation of the clinical utility of EDN-related biomarkers and their predictive performance for treatment response.
Exploratory
Explanatory
Not applicable
Association between baseline fecal EDN levels and the EDN/fecal calprotectin ratio and clinical disease activity indices in ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
Associations of fecal EDN levels and the EDN/fecal calprotectin ratio with endoscopic activity; predictive performance of EDN-related markers before initiation of biologics or small-molecule therapy; longitudinal changes in EDN-related markers at approximately 16 and 52 weeks after treatment initiation and their association with clinical remission and relapse; additive value over existing biomarkers; and associations with mucosal cytokine profiles in a subset of patients.

| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease; patients for whom clinical disease activity assessment, stool sampling, and endoscopic evaluation as needed are feasible during routine clinical practice; patients who provide written informed consent; and patients scheduled for initiation or switching of biologics or small-molecule therapy may be included.
Patients considered unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator or co-investigators; patients from whom adequate consent cannot be obtained; patients for whom sample collection or clinical data acquisition is difficult; and patients meeting any other exclusion criteria defined in the protocol.

This study is a multicenter prospective observational study with no intervention. Fecal EDN levels, clinical indices, laboratory data, endoscopic findings, reasons for selecting biologics, and treatment outcomes will be collected during routine clinical practice. These observational data will be analyzed to evaluate the association between fecal EDN and both biologic selection and treatment response.
