  Purpose

This is an observational cohort study with two time points (baseline and after at least 6 months of treatment with a non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agent for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)). Approximately 40 participants, both male and female, 18 years of age and older will be recruited from the Pittsburgh IBD Cohort.

Participants will have a histological diagnosis of IBD (Ulcerative Colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD)) and will be attending for colonoscopy prior to starting a non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agent as part of standard medical care. Immediately following the colonoscopy, an anal exam will be performed for research purposes to include:

  1. Perianal inspection
  2. Anal canal HPV swab
  3. Anal cytology
  4. Digital anal examination
  5. High resolution anoscopy (HRA) and biopsy of all lesions with visual criteria consistent with high-grade anal dysplasia
  6. For female participants a self- or clinician-taken vaginal swab for HPV typing.

These procedures will be repeated at routine colonoscopy following at least 6 months but within 12 months of non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive treatment.


Condition Intervention
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
Crohn's Disease (CD)
Anal Human Papillomavirus
 Procedure: Venous blood samples, anal swab samples, vaginal swab samples, high resolution anoscopy (HRA), anal biopsy samples

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Presence or absence of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    As this is an observational cohort study there will be no blind. Simple comparisons will be made between the number and quantification of HPV types, number of high-grade dysplastic lesions, and grade of cytology swabs for each study participant at the two time points. This pilot study is not powered to identify differences in any of the parameters measured at the two time points, but will give an indication whether the hypotheses are substantiated and may subsequently be verified in a definitive study.

  • Quantification of HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Anal cytology grade (normal, ASC-US, ASC-H, LSIL, HSIL, cancer) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Anal biopsy grade (normal, AIN-1, AIN-2/AIN-3, cancer) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Number of discrete high-grade anal dysplasia lesions [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples Without DNA

Venous blood, anal swabs, vaginal swabs, high resolution anoscopy (HRA), anal biopsy samples


Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: June 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Inflammatory bowel disease, Immunosuppressive agent
Men and women 18 years + with a histological diagnosis of IBD (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) who are undergoing a colonoscopy prior to starting a non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agent
 Procedure: Venous blood samples, anal swab samples, vaginal swab samples, high resolution anoscopy (HRA), anal biopsy samples

Before and at least 6 months after starting a new non-steroid immunosuppressive agent for IBD treatment, eligible participants who are attending for routine colonoscopy will have:

  1. Anal swab samples (and vaginal swab samples for female participants) for human papillomavirus PCR typing (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58)
  2. High-resolution anoscopy and biopsy of all visible high-grade dysplastic lesions based on validated colposcopic criteria
  3. Anal cytology testing
