51 Study Summary 51A Provide a short summary of theproject written in lay languagesuitable for non-scientific REBmembers DO NOT exceed 100words and do not cut and pastedirectly from the study protocol

This research will explore the potential effects of Narrow-Band Ultra Violet B (NB-UVB) radiation on the intestinalmicrobiota composition and confirm a regulatory skin-to-gutaxis during baseline conditions Changes in the intestinalmicrobiota composition caused by NB-UVB phototherapycould be beneficial for patients with chronicauto-inflammatory diseases like IBD by removing dangerousbacteria increasing beneficial bacteria and ultimatelymodulating immune responses

51B Summarize the researchproposal Purpose Hypothesis Justification ObjectivesResearch Design and StatisticalAnalysis

Purpose To explore the potential effects of Narrow-Band Ultra VioletB (NB-UVB) radiation on the intestinal microbiotacomposition in humans and confirm a regulatory skin-to-gutaxis during baseline conditions Hypothesis Humans exposed to UVB-NB light will show changes in theintestinal microbiota composition with selection of certainphyla of bacteria Justification To date there is no data that describes a biologicalresponse to UVB light in the body that affects the intestinalmicrobiota Changes in the intestinal microbiotacomposition caused by NB-UVB phototherapy could bebeneficial for patients with chronicauto-inflammatorydiseases like IBD by removing dangerous bacteriaincreasing beneficial bacteria and ultimately modulatingimmune responses Objectives 1 Establish if there is an skin regulatory response towardsNB-UVB light in humans 2 Examine what changes in the microbiota compositioncan be observed on bacterial phyla and class level 3 Determine if this research is worth pursuing in a largercohort Research design During the first visit the skin type will be assessed by usingthe Fitzpatrick skin type questionnaire Subsequently subjects will be exposed three times withinone week to full body NB-UVB light in The Skin CareCentre to a sub erythemic dose (cause slight redness of theskin but not burning) The exposures will happen during thewinter months to prevent UVB exposure from the sunduring daily activities to interfere with our observationsStool samples will be collected before the first exposure(2x) and after the last exposure (2x) to analyse the

5222019 No Title

microbiota composition Also serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) will be measured before and after the UVBexposure as a marker of previous UVB exposure before theexperiment Subjects will be healthy Caucasian females between 19-40years of age with a Fitzpatrick skin type I II or III tominimise the variability in skin responses towards the UVB-NB light since fair skin colour is less adapted to absorb theUVB radiation than dark coloured skin The microbiota composition will be analysed with 16S rRNAIllumina sequencing and calculated for differentialabundance on phylum level Statistical analysis The statistical analysis will focus the personal microbiotacomposition variation after NB-UVB light exposure incomparison to before the UVB light exposure Because wecollect two samples before and two samples after the UVBexposures each individual can serve as her own internalcontrol

57 Summary of StudyProcedures

Participants will contact the study coordinator and will beinvited to participate by and email that will be sent alongwith the consent form A first meeting will be set upbetween the research coordinator and the participant at theSkin Care Center to explain the protocol and to signconsent forms Also four stool collection kits will be handedto the participant After signing the consent form theFitzpatrick skin type will be assessed with the hand of aquestionnaire about the sun exposure habits The participant is responsible to collect two stool samplesduring the week prior to the first light exposure and store itin her freezer at home On the Monday of the first NB-UVB exposure the researchcoordinator will confirm that a stool sample is collected bythe participant The participant will be referred to the lab atLife Labs to collect one blood sample (one tube of 15 mlapproximately one table spoon full) and will later go to TheSkin Care Centre at VGH where the participants will beassessed under supervision of dr Harvey Lui MD for theirfirst full body NB-UVB exposure The participants will wearspecialised goggles to protect the eyes from the UVB raysand wear broad spectrum sunscreen on face and hands toprotect these areas from the light The NB-UVB lightexposure will happen in a full body cabin like an uprighttanning bed and will take no longer than 5 minutes A timewill be scheduled for the next two sessions with theparticipants On Wednesday and Friday the participant willreceive a NB-UVB dose that is 10 higher than the fisrtvisit if tolerated well Description of blood collection procedure at Life Labs Ablood sample will be taken by first applying a tourniquet tothe upper arm The skin on the inner side of the elbow willbe sterilised and a small sterile needle will be inserted intothe vein Two blood collection tubes will then be attached tothe needle which will fill with blood When the tube is fullthe needle will be removed A plaster or small bandage will be applied to cover the site where the needle

was removed Blood samples will be marked with their study identifiersand analysed in Life labs for of serum 25-hydroxy vitaminD3 according to Standards Council of Canadarsquos GoodLaboratory Practice (GLP) principles and Good ClinicalPractice (GCP) The participant is responsible to collect tw stool samplesthe week after the three NB-UVB light exposures and storeit in the freezer The research coordinator will contact theparticipant when and where to pick up the stool samples orparticipant can drop them off at their own convenience atthe Skin Care Centre during on Monday Wednesday andFriday nights The stool samples that are collected from the participantwill be stored in the BCCHR in a -80C freezer in a lockedlab until all samples from all participants are collectedOnce all stool samples are collected they will be send offto the Stintzi Lab at the University of Ottawa for 16S rRNAsequencing The results will be analysed and stored on theBCCHR password-secured computer

6 Participant Information and Consent Process - Clinical Study [View Form]

61 Time to Participate Howmuch time will a participant beasked to dedicate to the projectbeyond that needed for normalcare

The first visit to sign the consent form and do the Skin typeassessment will take approximately 20 minutes The visitfor the first UVB exposure will take approx 20 minutes toreview the exposure methods The next two visits will take approximately 10-12 minuteseach The visits for the blood draws will take about 30 minutesdepending on the amount of waiting time of the Life Labslocation The total time the participant will spend to this study will be2 hours minutes

62 Time to Participate ndashNormalControl Participants Ifapplicable how much time will anormalcontrol volunteer beasked to dedicate to the project

Each participant will be treated similarly

63 RisksHarms Describe whatis known about the risks(harms) of the proposedresearch

The exposure to NB-UVB light will turn the skin slightly pinkfor 1-2 days NB-UVB is ultraviolet radiation and couldcause long term effects after excessive exposure like skinageing and skin cancer The exposure from this study isequivalent to 5 min sun exposure during a summerrsquos dayper visit and is unlikely to have any long-term effects Short-term side effects may include skin redness skin drynesstriggering of a cold sore All of these effects are minor and

5222019 No Title

will resolve usually within a week In rare cases the skinmight turn red and gives a sun burn-like sensation In thiscase the sensation will fade away over the next days Theparticipant should contact the researcher in this case Although minimal there is a 05 risk of bleeding from theneedle site If this occurs the subject can be given apressure bandage The risks of blood draw also includespain andor discomfort bruising fainting andor lightheaded sensation and the rare possibility of infection

64 Benefits Describe anypotential benefits to theparticipant that could arise fromhis or her participation in theproposed research

Exposure to NB-UVB will produce vitamin D in your skinthat helps against seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and isimportant for your general health

65 Reimbursement Describeany reimbursement for expenses(eg meals parkingmedications) orpaymentsincentivesgifts-in-kind(eg honoraria gifts prizescredits) to be offered to theparticipants Provide full detailsof the amounts paymentschedules and value of gifts-in-kind
