Many diseases that affect modern humans fall in the category of complex diseases, thus called because they result from a combination of multiple aetiological and pathogenic factors. Regardless of the organ or system affected, complex diseases present major challenges in diagnosis, classification, and management. Current forms of therapy are usually applied in an indiscriminate fashion based on clinical information, but even the most advanced drugs only benefit a limited number of patients and to a variable and unpredictable degree. This ‘one measure does not fit all’ situation has spurred the notion that therapy for complex disease should be tailored to individual patients or groups of patients, giving rise to the notion of ‘precision medicine’ [PM].

Inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are a heterogeneous spectrum with two extreme phenotypes, Crohn’s disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC], which both represent numerous phenotypical variations. Hence, we should no longer approach all IBD patients similarly, but rather aim to rethink clinical classifications and modify treatment algorithms to usher in a new era of precision medicine in IBD. This scientific ECCO workshop aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview on prognostic and predictive markers, shed light on key questions in biomarker development, propose best practices in IBD biomarker development [including trial design], and discuss the potential for multi-omic data integration to help drive further advances to make precision medicine a reality in IBD.

Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is a complex chronic disorder with no clear aetiology and no known cure. Despite recent advances in overall disease management and improved therapeutics, patients with IBD still experience a substantial burden. Furthermore, as the incidence continues to increase in developing areas of the world, it is expected that the burden of IBD to society will increase and exert tremendous pressure on health care systems worldwide. Therefore, new strategies to prevent the global increase of IBD are urgently required. Data are being progressively acquired on the period preceding disease diagnosis, which support the concept that IBD has a preclinical period that may reveal the triggers of disease and may be amenable to early intervention. Having a better knowledge of this preclinical period will increase the potential not only for improved understanding of disease pathogenesis and improved therapeutics, but also for disease prediction and prevention.

Pouchitis is a common complication following formation of an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis [IPAA] after proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis [UC]. Gut-specific lymphocyte trafficking mechanisms have been identified as players in the pathogenesis of UC. In the present study, we aimed to characterise the presence of lymphocyte subsets expressing gut-homing molecules in pouches and peripheral blood of UC patients with and without pouchitis.

The pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease [CD] is still unclear. Disorders in the mucosal immunoregulation and its crosstalk with the microbiota may represent an important component in tissue injury. We aimed to characterize the molecular immune response distribution within the ileal layers and to evaluate the correlated microbiota in pathological/healthy settings comparing first surgery/relapse clinical conditions.

The Self-assembling Peptide Hydrogel [SAPH, PuraMatrix], a fully synthetic peptide solution designed to replace collagen, has recently been used to promote mucosal regeneration in iatrogenic ulcers following endoscopic submucosal dissection. Herein, we evaluated its utility in ulcer repair using a rat model of topical trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid [TNBS]-induced colonic injuries.

Intestinal epithelial cells [IECs] from inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients exhibit an excessive induction of endoplasmic reticulum stress [ER stress] linked to altered intestinal barrier function and inflammation. Colonic tissues and the luminal content of IBD patients are also characterized by increased serine protease activity. The possible link between ER stress and serine protease activity in colitis-associated epithelial dysfunctions is unknown. We aimed to study the association between ER stress and serine protease activity in enterocytes and its impact on intestinal functions

Intestinal homeostasis disorder is critical for developing Crohn’s disease [CD]. Maintaining mucosal barrier integrity is essential for intestinal homeostasis, preventing intestinal injury and complications. Among the remarkably altered long non-coding RNAs [lncRNAs] in CD, we aimed to investigate whether metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 [MALAT1] modulated CD and consequent disruption of intestinal homeostasis.

Ulcerative colitis [UC] is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with an intractable course. Although the goal of UC therapy is to achieve mucosal healing, the pathogenesis of mucosal injury caused by chronic inflammation remains unknown. We therefore aim to elucidate molecular mechanisms of mucosal injury by establishing in vitro and in vivo humanised UC-mimicking models.

New data suggest that incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD] are still increasing worldwide, and approximately 0.2% of the European population suffer from IBD at the present time. Medical therapy and disease management have evolved significantly in recent decades, with an emphasis on tight objective monitoring of disease progression and a treat-to-target approach in Europe and also worldwide, aiming to prevent early bowel damage and disability. Surgery rate declined over time in Europe, with 10–30% of CD and 5–10% of UC patients requiring a surgery within 5 years. The health economic burden associated with IBD is high in Europe. Direct health care costs [approximately €3500 in CD and €2000 in UC per patient per year] have shifted from hospitalisation and surgery towards drug-related expenditures with the increasing use of biologic therapy and other novel agents, and substantial indirect costs arise from work productivity loss [approximately €1900 per patient yearly]. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review of the burden of IBD in Europe by discussing current data on epidemiology, disease course, risk for surgery, hospitalisation, and mortality and cancer risks, as well as the economic aspects, patient disability, and work impairment, by discussing the latest population-based studies from the region.

Mutations in IL10 or the IL10 receptor lead to very early onset [VEO] inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], a life-threatening disease which is often unresponsive to conventional medication. Recent studies have demonstrated that defective IL-10 receptor signalling in innate immune cells is a key driver of severe intestinal inflammation in VEO-IBD. Specifically, IL10 unresponsiveness of macrophages, which govern the tight balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses in the intestinal system, plays a central role in the events leading to excessive inflammatory responses and the development of IBD.

Background and Aims: Antibodies targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha] are a mainstay in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. However, they fail to demonstrate efficacy in a considerable proportion of patients. On the other hand, glycosylation of antibodies might influence not only their immunogenicity but also their structure and function. We investigated whether specific glycosylation patterns of the Fc-fragment would affect the immunogenicity of anti-TNF-alpha antibody in monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
