Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major forms of chronic intestinal disorders, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). Diagnosis is based on several macroscopic and histologic features including patterns of inflammation, crypt abscesses and granulomas. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is rapidly emerging as a valuable tool for gastrointestinal endoscopic imaging, enabling the endoscopist to obtain an "optical biopsy" of the gastrointestinal mucosa during the endoscopic procedure.

The main objective of this study is to determine endoscopic and endomicroscopic features of mucosal healing in patients with IBD.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Crohn's disease (CD)

Patients with CD and mucosal healing on endoscopy.

Endoscopy (EPK-i, Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients will undergo white-light endoscopy. Any mucosal lesions will be recorded and findings will be compared to histopathological and clinical results.

Ulcerative colitis (UC)

Patients with UC and mucosal healing on endoscopy.

Endoscopy (EPK-i, Pentax, Tokyo, Japan)
