Trial summary

Fatigue is a common symptom and a leading concern in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and often persists despite clinical and endoscopic remission. This study evaluates the metabolomic profile of fatigued patients with IBD. Read more about this study

Study population: This study was performed with plasma samples from IBD patients recruited in a previous study after informed consent.

Who may be able to join

Who cannot join

  • Age below 18 years.
  • Refusal to give written informed consent prior to participation
  • Active infection at the time of inclusion.
  • Concomitant diseases not related to IBD (e.g., cancer, heart disease, pulmonary disease) that might contribute to the presence or the severity of fatigue.
  • Active flare of IBD in the last 3 months.

About this study

Fatigue is a common symptom and a leading concern in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and often persists despite clinical and endoscopic remission.

This study evaluates the metabolomic profile of fatigued patients with IBD.

Read the detailed description

To date, there is only one non-published study using metabolomics in quiescent IBD patients with and without fatigue.

The investogators designed this study to examine if there are metabolomics factors associated to fatigue in IBD patients.

This study was performed with plasma samples from IBD patients recruited in a previous study after informed consent. (1) IBD outpatients attending the Hospital de Sabadell Gastroenterology Day-care unit were consecutively included for analytical monitoring of immunosuppressant treatment or infliximab infusion.

The investigators recorded demographic data, IBD classification according to the Montreal classification, and history of drug administration. In addition, clinical activity of the disease was measured using the Harvey-Bradshaw score for Crohn's disease (CD) and the modified Mayo score for ulcerative colitis (UC). The "Functional Assessment of chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue" (FACIT-F) was used to assess fatigue.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fatigue and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Corporacion Parc Tauli.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2019. 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?

changes in metabolomic profile (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT04191707, 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 10 Dec 2019.
