About this study

Official title: Predictive Factors of Anti-TNFalfa-induced Deep Remission in Crohn's Disease

Individuate possible predictive factors of anti-TNFalfa-induced deep remission in Crohn's disease.

Read the detailed description

This trial will be exploratory, open in vitro study on human tissues. 120 patients will be enrolled (Caucasian, male/female,18-65 years old) with moderate-severe active Crohns disease and with indication for anti-TNF therapy according to the normal clinical practice.

Simultaneously, 30 no-IBD controls with no GI disorders, as defined by medical history and standard clinical chemistry values, afferent to the out-patient clinic will be enrolled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of IBD patients in clinical remission at 12 months

    • Subjects without intestinal ulceration at endoscopy at 12 months
    • Subjects with CDAI score below 150 from baseline to 12 months
    • Subjects with blood CRP value below 0.8 mg/dL from baseline to 12 months
    • Subjects with stool calprotectin value below 50ug/g from baseline to 12 months
    • Through analysis of metabonomics on biopsies, blood, urine and stools
    • Through analysis of blood genotyping
    • Through analysis of gut microbiota composition

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of IBD patients requiring an escalation treatment to be in clinical remission at 12 months

    • Subjects without intestinal ulceration at endoscopy at 12 months
    • Subjects with CDAI score below 150 from baseline to 12 months
    • Subjects with blood CRP value below 0.8 mg/dL from baseline to 12 months
    • Subjects with stool calprotectin value below 50ug/g from baseline to 12 months
    • Through analysis of metabonomics on biopsies, blood, urine and stools
    • Through analysis of blood genotyping
    • Through analysis of gut microbiota composition

    Measured: Baseline vs Baseline + 12 months

  2. Assess phenotypic traits between IBD patients in clinical remission at 12 months and non-IBD subjects

    • Through analysis of metabonomics on blood, urine and stools
    • Through analysis of gut microbiota composition
    • Through clinical nutritional status in IBD patients compared to non-IBD subjects

    Measured: Baseline vs Baseline + 12 months

  3. Assess healthy intra-individual variability of gut microbial activity and dietary behavior in relation to disease development and management

    • Through analysis of gut microbiota composition
    • Through clinical nutritional status

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease, run by Société des Produits Nestlé (SPN) at 1 site in Italy.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2019. 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 Italy. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of IBD patients in clinical remission at 12 months (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02580864, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jul 2019.
