Change in the composition of the microbiome after anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at Month 3
Microbiome is the microorganisms in a particular environment (including the body or a part of the body). Changes in the microbiome in fecal, blood, saliva, and urine samples before and after anti-TNF treatment will be assessed.
Time frame: Month 3
The difference in the composition of the microbiome at baseline between IBD participants and non-IBD participants
Microbiome is the microorganisms in a particular environment (including the body or a part of the body). Changes in the microbiome in fecal, blood, saliva, and urine samples before and after anti-TNF treatment will be assessed.
Time frame: Baseline
Disease activity will be assessed by Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) or Mayo score for ulcerative colitis (UC)
Disease activity will be assessed by CDAI to quantify the symptoms.
Time frame: Up to 3 months
Correlation in the composition of the microbiome at baseline and disease activity will be assessed as measured by CDAI or Mayo score at Month 3
The composition of the microbiome at baseline will be correlated to disease activity which is assessed as measured by CDAI or Mayo score at Month 3.
Time frame: Baseline; Month 3
Change from baseline in calprotectin at Month 3
Fecal calprotectin can indicate inflammation in the intestines.
Time frame: Baseline; Month 3
Number of participants with abnormal, clinically significant vital signs
Clinical significance will be determined by the investigator.
