Immune Function in Offsprings of Females With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Completed
Conditions
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Registration Number
NCT02079441
Lead Sponsor
Sheba Medical Center
Brief Summary

1. To evaluate the immune response to vaccines in infants of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF medications during pregnancy compared to infants of IBD mother not treated with anti-TNF medications.

2. To evaluate the immune function of B and T cells at 3 months and one year of age in infants of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF medications during pregnancy compared to infants of non anti-TNF treated mothers.

The secondary aims are to follow anti TNF drug levels in infants born to IBD patients treated with anti-TNF medications during pregnancy and to evaluate the risk of infections during the first year of life in this population, compared to children of IBD patients not treated with anti-TNF medications during pregnancy.

Significance -The results of this study have the potential to change clinical practice of anti TNF treatment during pregnancy and the follow-up of infants born to these patients
