Progress in healthcare relies on the advancement of scientific knowledge, which is made possible through research. Understanding the mechanisms behind the onset and development of IBD is crucial for identifying new therapeutic strategies, especially for diseases that are currently incurable. This includes improving prevention and diagnostic techniques, refining medical tools used in patient care, discovering new drugs, and optimizing existing treatments.
Clinical research is therefore a critical step in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, aimed at enhancing the care and quality of life for IBD patients.
The studies conducted by the IHU are managed directly by the clinical research teams of the Nancy CHRU’s Research and Innovation Department, particularly the IBD platform affiliated with the Infiny IHU.
Clinical research encompasses all studies conducted on patients or healthy volunteers, aimed at advancing biological and medical knowledge. Each clinical trial is designed to address specific questions about human health, while ensuring the safety and efficacy of new medical practices before they are widely adopted.
Studies
Transparency Portal of the Nancy CHRU
The Nancy CHRU is actively involved in research and contributes to numerous clinical trials. The search engine provides easy access to all the studies in which the Hepato-Gastroenterology Department participates.
The INFINY cohort
The scientific program involves establishing a cohort of 2,000 IBD patients and 1,000 healthy volunteers over a 10-year period (WP6).
The IHU will also rely on a comprehensive data warehouse (including imaging, biological results, endoscopy, ultrasound, multi-omics data, etc.), in coordination with the Nancy CHRU’s health data warehouse. This infrastructure will facilitate the development of research projects for healthcare professionals and researchers working with complex and heterogeneous data sources.
The goal is to enhance our understanding of IBD, improve patient care, and develop decision-making algorithms.
