Deterioration, Crohn's diseasePatients > 18 years old with a deterioration of Crohn's disease defined by CDAI >150 and requiring treatment with systemic steroids or TNF alfa inhibitors

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Remission defined by Crohns disease activity index (CDAI)<150

    Measured: 52 weeks from inclusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Surgical treatment for Crohn's disease during follow up. (Surgery for perianal disease not included.)

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Mucosal healing on ileocolonoscopy. Defined by Simple Endoscopic Index for Crohn's disease (SES-CD)

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease, run by Haukeland University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Did not get enough patients). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Remission defined by Crohns disease activity index (CDAI)<150 (time frame: 52 weeks from inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2016.
