Why This Matters

The study explores engineering HSPCs to induce IL-10–mediated, antigen-specific regulatory responses, which could lead to new cell-based strategies for children with refractory IBD who do not respond to current treatments.

Who Should Pay Attention

Parents and caregivers of pediatric patients with refractory IBD; pediatric gastroenterologists and clinicians; researchers in cell therapy, immune tolerance, and IBD.

What To Know

The investigators will collect intestinal tissue and peripheral blood from pediatric IBD patients and controls to profile inflammatory and regulatory immune cells, measure circulating CD34+ HSPCs, and test ex vivo expansion and engineering protocols.

They plan to evaluate responses to commensal-derived antigens and whether engineered HSPCs can drive antigen-specific Tr1 cells in vitro. The registry lists this as an observational, not-yet-recruiting study with planned enrollment and sample-collection procedures.

Keep In Mind

This is an observational, not-yet-recruiting study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov focusing on preclinical and ex vivo translational work (sample collection, cell characterization, and in vitro assays). It does not provide clinical efficacy or safety results.
