Who may be able to join

  • Aware and cooperative, giving written consent

About this study

Main purposes of this study are :

  • Analysis of relapse risk of anal fistulae with prospective follow-up of patients undergoing pelvic MRI every 6 months for one year. This monitoring also determines if the presence of path of fistulae visible on MRI during inclusion visit is associated to increased risk of perianal abscess under infliximab or adalimumab treatment.
  • Evaluation of interest of new magnetic resonance imaging sequences for detection of persistent anal fistulae under infliximab or adalimumab treatment.

Secondary purposes are:

  • Description of patients with one or more paths of fistulae visible with MRI after at least one year of treatment with infliximab or adalimumab administered for anal fistulae and showing a complete healing of fistulae at clinical examination of inclusion visit.
  • Identification of predictive factors (included the presence of paths of fistulae visible with MRI during inclusion visit) of relapse of anal fistulae during the 1-year-follow-up after inclusion visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pelvis Magnetic resonance imaging in people with Anal Fistula and Crohn's Disease, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Evaluation of severity of Crohn's disease with Van Assche MRI score (time frame: day 0). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Apr 2021.
