Sponsor's own description

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is the classical hepatobiliary manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although rare, PSC is associated with significant and disproportionate unmet needs; with heightened risks of colorectal cancer and colectomy, and greater all-cause mortality rates compared to matched IBD patients. Unfortunately, no medical therapy has been proven to slow disease progression in PSC-IBD, and liver transplantation is the only lifesaving intervention for patients. The strong association between PSC and IBD has led to several pathogenic hypotheses, in which dysregulated mucosal immune responses are proposed to contribute. Of note, the investigators recently identified distinct mucosal transcriptomic profiles in PSC-IBD; with regards bile acid metabolism, bile acid signalling, and a central role of enteric dysbiosis. In parallel, pilot data from other groups have shown that treatment with oral vancomycin (a non-absorbable, gut-specific antibiotic) attenuates colonic inflammation and improves biochemical markers of cholestasis in PSC. However, there is no mechanistic data exploring the host-microbial alterations under vancomycin treatment in PSC-IBD, neither the impact of vancomycin on bile acid circulation. The investigators of this study hypothesize that oral vancomycin attenuates colonic mucosal inflammation in PSC-IBD, by restoring gut microbiota mediated bile acid homeostatic pathways. Through these means the study aims to identify druggable gut microbial and host molecular pathways associated with bile acid mediated colonic mucosal inflammation in PSC-IBD.
