§1Assessment

§1.1Definition

Chronic immune-mediated inflammation of the intestinal tract, or disorders of intestinal permeability including coeliac disease.

§1.2Anchor and additional outcomes

The Institute designates one anchor outcome per indication so that estimates for different compounds are reported on a common measure. The anchor for this indication is the first outcome below.

  1. Clinical remission
  2. Endoscopic healing
  3. Faecal calprotectin
  4. Intestinal permeability by lactulose–mannitol ratio

Nothing published by the Institute is medical advice, a diagnosis, a prescription, a treatment recommendation or a purchasing recommendation. Compounds supplied for research use are not approved for human or veterinary use in any jurisdiction, and a favourable analytical assessment of a supplier is not a statement that any product is safe or effective.
