Use of a Novel Diet (UC DIET) for Treatment of Mild to Moderate Active Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
The goal of the study is to evaluate strategies that target the microbiota for the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis , This study will involve a novel diet that the investigators developed , based on the hypothesis that UC involves dysbiosis , underutilzation of certain metabolic pathways and use of pathways that increase risk of inflammation . The investigators have postulated that manipulation of colonic bacterial metabolism with this diet will induce remission in UC without involving additional immune suppression.

Value of Pharmacokinetic Assays in the Prediction of Induction and Maintenance Therapeutic Response in Crohn's Disease
Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a monoclonal antibody which has shown its efficacy in Crohn's disease by inducing and maintaining clinical response/remission. The French marketing authorization was obtained for Crohn's disease in patients in failure with anti-TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) agents. For Crohn's disease patients treated with vedolizumab, a strong association between vedolizumab serum levels and clinical response to induction and maintenance was demonstrated by anterior studies. It could be of paramount interest to early identify Crohn's Disease patients under vedolizumab who will be responders to vedolizumab induction and to...

Value of Pharmacokinetic Assays in the Prediction of Therapeutic Response in Ulcerative Colitis
Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the heterodimer α4β7 integrin and which has shown its efficacy in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) by inducing and maintaining clinical response/remission. The French marketing authorization was obtained for Ulcerative Colitis in patients in failure with anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) agents. In the pivotal study, correlation between drug levels and clinical response during induction and maintenance therapy were reported. Moreover, in 3.7% of cases, anti-vedolizumab antibodies were reported during the time-course and 1% had samples that were persistently positive. Up to now, data on the...
