Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of I-CARE study is to assess prospectively the presence and the extent of safety concerns (cancers (especially lymphoma) and serious infections risks) for anti-TNF or other biologicals alone or in combination with thiopurines among IBD patients. Safety profile of all steroids formulation will also be analysed. We will stratify the risk of cancers and seroius infections according to IBD phenotype and disease activity (clinical, radiologic and endoscopic). Study duraction 4 years: 1 year inclusion period and 3 years follow-up period | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To investigate prospectively the impact of anti-TNF based strategies or other biologicals on the natural history of IBD and their potential for disease modification by collecting validated surrogate markers such as muscosal healing and disease complications such as bowel damage, surgeries and hospitalizations. To assess the evolation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on a yearly basis and the impact of anti-TNF agents or other biologicals on PROs in IBD. 1 year inclusion period and 3 years follow-up period. To evaluate the benefit-risk ratio of strategies based on an earlier and wider use of anti-TNF or other biologicals therapy for IBD. To assess the healthcare costs and cost-efficacy of current therapeutic straegies in IBD. Study duraction 4 years: 1 year inclusion period and 3 years follow-up period | — |
