Secondary outcome measures
Change in clinical disease activity as measured by the wPCDAI for Crohn's Disease, the PUCAI and Partial Mayo Score for Ulcerative Colitis, and the PGA for both Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Change in endoscopic disease activity measured during colonoscopies using the SES-CD for Crohn's Disease and the Mayo Endoscopic Sub Score and UCEIS for Ulcerative Colitis.
Change in histological scoring of acute and chronic inflammation collected through biopsies during colonoscopies and assessed using Naini and Cortina score for Crohn's disease and the Robarts Histopathological Index (RHI) for Ulcerative Colitis.
