About this study

To idetify the factors favoring the use of enteral nutrition would be helpful to select preferred patients suitable for enteral nutrition.

Read the detailed description

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, transmural inflammatory disorder affecting the whole alimentary tract from mouth to anus. Over the past decades, the incidence of CD is either high and stable or low but rising in the worldwide. Although the precise etiopathogenesis of CD remains unknown, a number of lines of evidence showed that inappropriate diet was one of the reasons responsible for the onset of CD, and diet therapy has been gaining increasing attention in the therapeutic work-up of CD.

Due to reduced intake and high intestinal losses, over three quarters of CD patients would suffer weight loss. Involvement of small bowel in CD patients made their nutrition status much poorer than ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Therefore, nutrition support is of great value in the management of CD. It is widely accepted that enteral nutrition could help pediatric CD patients to reach clinical and endoscopic remission, with similar efficacy but less side effects than corticosteroids. However, the value of enteral nutrition in adult active CD is still controversial, with an unstable remission rates ranging from 8% to 100%. Varied characteristics and compliance of enrolled patients might explain this wide range. Considering this, idetification of factors favoring the use of enteral nutrition would be helpful to select preferred patients suitable for enteral nutrition.

In this study, we will observe the role of enteral nutrition in active adult CD. The age, gender, serum CRP, albumin, fecal calprotectin, nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002), involved intestinal segments and other items will be correlated with the changes of Crohn's disease activity index (Best CDAI) and CRP in order to idetify the factors favoring the use of enteral nutrition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease and Enteral Nutrition, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Apr 2023. 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 China. 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?

Changes of Best CDAI (time frame: 2 months). 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 21 Apr 2023.
