Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (either Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis) - Mild or Moderate-to-severe IBD patients who are starting thiopurine treatment - age between 18 - 70 years old - both hospitalized and ambulant patients are eligible

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - other auto-immune diseases - previous use of thiopurines within two weeks before inclusion

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is intra-individual differences in Rac1 and pSTAT3 expression before and during 4 weeks of thiopurine treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secundary endpoints are: - Assessment of number of patients with intra-individual reduction of at least 30% of Rac1 corrected pSTAT3 expression in peripheral T cells of thiopurine derivative initiating adult IBD patients at week 4 - Assessment of number of patients with intra-individual reduction of at least 50% of Rac1 corrected pSTAT3 expression in peripheral T cells of thiopurine derivative initiating adult IBD patients at week 4 - To measure early inhibition (at week 1) of the Rac1-pSTAT3 pathway after starting thiopurine therapy in percentual reduction and in number of patients with at least 30% of Rac1 corrected pSTAT3 expression in peripheral T cells - To evaluate the correlation between 6-TGN concentrations and Rac1-corrected pSTAT3 expression at week 1, and at week 4
