- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To evaluate the expression of a4ß7 heterodimer in circulating T lymphocytes (CD4 and CD8) from active IBD patients and healthy controls, in combination with chemokine receptors known to define specific inflammatory and regulatory T cell subsets (Th1,Th17,Th1-17,Tc1,Tc17,Tregs);Secondary Objective: To evaluate the expression of a4ß7 in gut-infiltrating T lymphocytes (CD4 and CD8 subsets) of active IBD patients and controls and to correlate the relative frequencies of circulating and gut-infiltrating a4ß7-expressing T cell subsets at baseline with the short-term (14 week) clinical and endoscopical response to Vedolizumab ;Primary end point(s): to correlate the relative frequencies of circulating and gut-infiltrating a4ß7-expressing T cell subsets at baseline with the short-term (14 week) clinical and endoscopical response to Vedolizumab;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 14 weeks
