Sustained Humoral and Cell-Mediated Immunogenicity of COVID-19 Vaccines in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of systemic immunosuppression on sustained antibody COVID-19 concentrations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who received a COVID-19 vaccine.  This observational study will collect blood samples to measure sustained antibody concentrations to evaluate seroprevalence and study immunity  at 6 and 12 months after completion of vaccination.  The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of the Covid-19 vaccine in patients with IBD.
