About this study

Mesenteric panniculitis is a benign inflammatory condition that involves the adipose tissue of the intestinal mesentery. Clinical manifestations are uncommon, non specific and atypical. Mesenteric panniculitis is thus most often an incidental finding during an investigation for other reason, mostly on computed tomography scans. The rate of malignancy in patients with mesenteric panniculitis, especially urogenital and gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas or lymphomas, has been reported to be as high, thus suggesting that there may be a relationship between mesenteric panniculitis and progression of an underlying malignancy or the risk of a future malignancy.

Read the detailed description

The aim was:

to estimate the prevalence of mesenteric panniculitis. to study relationship between mesenteric panniculitis and malignancy. to investigate the 5-year outcome of patients with mesenteric panniculitis for the development of malignancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. mesenteric panniculitis

    mesenteric panniculitis is identified on the basis on the presence of three of the following 5 signs on CT scan:

    • higher attenuation of the fat of the root of the small bowel mesentery,
    • a pseudo mass smoothly displacing neighboring structures with a hyperdense pseudocapsule surrounding the mesenteric fat,
    • lymph nodes within the fatty pseudo mass and
    • a hypodense halo around the nodes and the blood vessels

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mesenteric Panniculitis, run by CHU de Reims.

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 1 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 20 Oct 2017. 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?

mesenteric panniculitis (time frame: Day 0). 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 NCT03316001, 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 20 Oct 2017.
