Brief Summary

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

The objective of this clinical study is to demonstrate efficacy and feasibility of a long-term dietary intervention to modify intestinal inflammation in high-risk patient cohorts. To this end a 78 weeks wheat protein-free diet will be administered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with and without associated primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC-IBD).
