| Collection Summary: | Pediatric UC patients (4-17 years of age) were recruited between July 2012 and April 2015 from 29 centers in the USA and Canada and monitored over the course of one year. Patients were treatment-naive at week 0 and received either 5-aminosalicylic acid (mesalamine) or oral/intravenous corticosteroids followed by mesalamine. Up to 4 samples were collected from each patient (week 0, 4, 12 and 52). In addition, metadata and clinical data were collected, including age, gender, ethnicity, treatment, Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), disease progression (colectomy and remission status) and fecal calprotectin (ELISA). Blood samples were collected Monday-Thursday and shipped on the same day (via FedEx overnight) at room temperature for next day delivery and processing by the biorepository. If samples were collected on Friday, blood tubes were stored at the collection site at 4 degrees and then shipped at room temperature on Monday (via FedEx overnight) for next day delivery and processing. Once samples were received by the Emory Biorepository, blood samples were immediately processed using the corresponding blood tube centrifugation guidelines, aliquoted, and stored at -80 degrees. Two types of blood tubes (Becton-Dickinson) were used for collection. One tube was coated with K2EDTA anticoagulant and proprietary protease inhibitor cocktail for stabilization of human plasma proteins at the point of collection. The second tube was also coated with K2EDTA anticoagulant. |
