Abstract Objectives Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has multiple impacts on soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of cytokines in biofilm samples from patients suffering from IBD and compare them to healthy patients. It was hypothesized that different cytokine expression levels and clinical associations might be drawn. Material and methods A total of 56 biofilm samples from three different patient cohorts (group 0 = healthy, HC n = 30; group 1 = Crohn’s disease, CD, n = 19; group 2 = ulcerative colitis, UC, n = 7) were examined for the expression levels of the cytokine interleukins IL-2, -6, and -10; matrix metalloproteinases 7 and 9; and surface antigens CD90/CD11a by quantitative real-time PCR and according to clinical parameters (plaque index, BOP, PD, DMFT, CAL). Relative gene expression was determined using the ∆∆CT method. Results The mean BOP values (p = 0.001) and PD (p = 0.000) were significantly higher in the CD group compared to controls. Expression of IL-10 was significantly higher in the CD (p = 0.004) and UC groups (p = 0.022). Expression of MMP-7 was significantly higher in the CD group (p = 0.032). IBD patients treated with TNF inhibitors (p = 0.007) or other immunosuppressants (p = 0.014) showed significant overexpression of IL-10 compared to controls. Conclusion Different expression levels of IL-10 and MMP-7 were detected in plaque samples from IBD patients. As only BOP was significantly increased, we conclude that no clinical impairment of periodontal tissue occurred in IBD patients. Clinical relevance With the worldwide increasing incidence of IBD, it is important to obtain insights into the effects of the disease on the oral cavity. The study was registered (01.09.2020) at the German clinical trial registry (DRKS00022956). Clinical trial registration The study is registered at the German clinical trial registry (DRKS00022956).

Abstract Background Clinical trial recruitment is the rate-limiting step in developing new treatments. To understand inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient recruitment, we investigated two questions: Do changes in clinical trial attributes, like monetary compensation, influence recruitment rates, and does this influence differ across subgroups? Methods We answered these questions through a conjoint survey of 949 adult IBD patients. Results Recruitment rates are influenced by trial attributes: small but significant increases are predicted with lower placebo rates, reduced number of endoscopies, less time commitment, open label extension, and increased involvement of participant’s primary GI physician. A much stronger effect was found with increased monetary compensation. Latent class analysis indicated three patient subgroups: some patients quite willing to participate in IBD trials, some quite reluctant, and others who can be persuaded. The persuadable group is quite sensitive to monetary compensation, and payments up to US$2,000 for a 1-year study could significantly increase recruitment rates for IBD clinical trials. Conclusions This innovative study provides researchers with a framework for predicting recruitment rates for different IBD clinical trials.
