Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare results of microbial analyses (including bacteriome and mycobiome) across three different sample types: intestinal washings and intestinal epithelial biopsy specimens taken during colonoscopy as well as fecal samples.;In patients with active Crohn's disease, where a decision is made to escalate therapy after the index endoscopy, identify if there are any microbial signatures that predict response to therapy after induction (12 - 16 weeks).;In patients with active Crohn's disease, where a decision is made to escalate therapy after the index endoscopy, identify if there are any microbial signatures that predict sustained response to therapy at 12 Months (+/- 3 months).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigate the correlations between the microbial analyses across different sample types and disease activity in CD.;Compare the difference in microbial analyses within each sample type between active and quiescent CD as well as non-IBD patients.;Compare the difference in microbial analyses within each sample type between active and quiescent CD as well as non-IBD patients.;Investigate, in a subset of patients with CD, if fecal microbiome composition and function 2 weeks after bowel preparation is comparable to pre-bowel preparation fecal microbiome.;Investigate, in a subset of patients with CD, if fecal microbiome composition and function 2 weeks after bowel preparation is comparable to pre-bowel preparation fecal microbiome.;Compare the sensitivity of the microbial analyses from each sample type in their prediction of response to therapy.;Compare the specificity of the microbial analyses from each sample type in their prediction of response to therapy.
