A Study of Curcumin (Soloways ™) in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Homozygous for the IL-10 Variant

This pilot, genotype-stratified clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of liposomal curcumin in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are homozygous for a specific "unfavorable" IL-10 gene variant (e.g., rs1800896). The study will compare clinical and inflammatory markers in two cohorts: (1) homozygous carriers of the IL-10 variant and (2) non- carriers. The hypothesis is that curcumin supplementation will lead to more pronounced improvement in clinical activity scores and inflammatory biomarkers among homozygous carriers due to their inherently reduced anti-inflammatory capacity.
