NCT03492944
The investigators plan to compare contrast-enhanced ultrasound to CT and MRI for the detection and quantification of intestinal inflammation in the the setting of pediatric small bowel Crohns disease
NCT05955963
The precise and noninvasive evaluation of disease activity among patients with Crohn's disease is not easy, especially for children. It deals with clinical, biological, histological and radiological parameters. Bowel sounds (BS) when evaluated by a stethoscope are modified by several factors including surgery, infection, drugs or intestinal inflammation. These factors can interact on intestinal motricity. There is a direct relationship between gastrointestinal motility and characteristics of BW. The study of BS using a stethoscope is a simple method, although operator dependent and subjective,with a wide inter and intraindividual variability. Some studies among adults showed interest in the spectral analysis of BS to assess gastrointestinal motility. This more precise and reproducible method is not operator dependent. To date, no such study has evaluated the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS. of this project is to assess the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS in pediatric Crohn's disease.
NCT06494826
In this study, the investigators will explore our protein-based platform assessing commensals potentially contributing to features of CD, while assessing the global composition and abundance of AMPs expressed in the GI tract under specific CD-relevant clinical contexts. This would enable us to (a) identify new commensals contributing to features of CD spectrum and various sub-types; (b) uncover the mechanistic basis of dysbiosis in CD (c) utilize the pipeline to develop new theranostic for disease exacerbation, complication and treatment responses; and (d) potentially enable future exploitation of novel AMP combinations, and their respective antimicrobial capacity to counteract dysbiosis in CD. Uncovering the proteomic manifestations of perturbed host-microbiome communications in CD will eventually enable the development and validation of clinical non-invasive surrogate markers, mechanistically determine causative drivers of CD, and potentially facilitate the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
NCT06560021
The proposed study is a multicenter parallel group clinical trial that will include 821 evaluable patients per group who will be randomly assigned to either high definition white light colonoscopy (HDWLC) with targeted biopsies plus 2 random biopsies in 4 segments to assess for inflammation (limited biopsy strategy) or HDWLC with targeted biopsies plus 4 biopsies every 10 cm throughout the colon, at a minimum in all segments of the colon known to have been affected by IBD at any time, regardless of the extent of disease (random biopsy strategy). Participants will be followed until total proctocolectomy or the end of the study period to determine whether the two methods of surveillance colonoscopy are associated with detection of dysplasia or sessile serrated adenoma at follow-up colonoscopy. Follow-up via chart review may continue for up to 15 years from enrollment.

To assess the responsivness to change of the functional handicap score IBD-DI (n = 200 patients)
NCT06651281
Researchers want to learn more about tulisokibart (also known as MK-7240) in an extension study. Tulisokibart is a medicine designed to treat active, moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). An extension study is a type of study where people who received tulisokibart in certain other studies for CD or UC (called a parent study) may be able to join this study. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of tulisokibart over time in people with CD or UC, and if people tolerate it.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term recurrence risk of perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease patients who have undergone treatment with anti-TNF therapy and seton drainage.The research seeks to identify factors influencing recurrence and assess the long term effectiveness of these treatments in preventing fistula recurrence. This study will provide insights that could enhance treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
NCT07308067
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can highly alter patients' quality of life and lead to bowel damage due to its transmural pattern. The current guidelines recommend to use treat-to-target strategies to achieve the combination of steroid-free clinical remission and endoscopic remission. However, the implementation of these strategies and endpoints are limited by the need of repeated colonoscopies, which dramatically reduced patients' acceptability and adherence to such a management. The concept of transmural healing has emerged as a promising therapeutic target. It has been associated with longer time spent in steroid-free clinical remission, decreased risk of hospitalization, slower progression of bowel damage and reduced risk of subsequent surgery. Furthermore, recent works suggested that transmural healing could lead to better outcomes, such as prevention of bowel damage progression, than endoscopic remission. Recently, the DEVISE-CD project proposed validated definitions of transmural healing and response (TR50 and TR25) using the modified Clermont score (C-score). Thus, transmural healing will become the next reference target in the near future. Although most data were generated using MRI, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is an interesting alternative to assess transmural response thanks to its lower cost and high patients' acceptability enabling repeated procedures. IUS is now part of routine practice in day-care units. Recently, Risankizumab, the first in-class anti-IL23 targeting p19 subunit in CD, demonstrated high level of efficacy to achieve and maintain clinical and endoscopic remission. However, no data are hitherto available on the kinetics and the efficacy of risankizumab to achieve transmural healing.
NCT01765439
The aim of the study is to determine, whether administration of VSL#3 (Original De Simone formulation) probiotic preparation can alter the bile acid metabolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
NCT07344428
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with high recurrence and surgical rates. Mucosal healing is a key therapeutic goal, yet current anti-TNF-α biologics achieve only about 30% mucosal healing. Dietary intervention, particularly the Crohn's Disease Exclusion Diet (CDED), shows promise in CD management. Preliminary data suggest that combining CDED with anti-TNF-α biologics may significantly improve mucosal healing rates (42.9% vs 25%). This single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial will enroll 185 adult CD patients with active disease (SES-CD ≥3), randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either anti-TNF-α biologics plus CDED or anti-TNF-α biologics alone. The primary endpoint is mucosal healing rate at week 14 (SES-CD=0). Secondary endpoints include clinical remission, endoscopic response, transmural healing, and adverse events. This study aims to provide high-quality evidence for the efficacy and safety of this combined approach in Chinese CD patients.
NCT07541261
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment persistence of guselkumab (that is how long a person keeps taking their prescribed medicine or continues with their treatment plan without stopping) in participants with moderate to severe crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in real-world setting. CD and UC are Inflammatory bowel disease, a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine.
NCT07352995
The goal of this clinical trial is to use a modified thermal probe to measure temperature rise in the colonic mucosa of participants with inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and/or ulcerative colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the thermal probe an effective device to use to detect temperature rise in the colonic mucosa? During the participant's standard of care colonoscopy, the thermal probe will be inserted into the colonoscope. The thermal probe is connected to a temperature transmitter that collects and saves the temperature of the colon in real time.
NCT05627128
The goal of the study is to test the efficacy of a dietary intervention in inducing clinical response and remission for patients with Crohn's disease in a randomized controlled trial. The intervention diet: DAIN has been adapted from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Anti-Inflammatory Diet or IBD-AID™ taking into account the food availability and preferences of Puerto Ricans. DAIN also includes traditional foods commonly consumed in the typical Puerto Rican diet while maintaining the fundamental components of the IBD-AID™.

NCT05698745
The purpose of this study is to evaluate disease progression, in terms of development of symptomatic disease and complications associated with IBD (e.g. fistula, abscess, stricture).
NCT05421455
The management of stricturing Crohn's disease (CD) remains challenging. Although surgical resection may be the final way to solve it, the efficacy of biologics for symptomatic CD associated strictures was acceptable. In clinical practice, the chioce of treatment is particularly difficult. Therefore, a clinical trial of biologics versus surgery is needed to assess which one is prefered.
NCT07519850
Perianal diseases, such as perianal abcesses, anal fistulae and perianal Crohn's disease, are often associated with significant physical symptoms, including pain and chronic drainage. However, the impact of these conditions on a patient's personal life, intimacy, and body image-often referred to as "hidden morbidity"-is frequently overlooked in clinical practice. The purpose of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the psychosexual burden in patients suffering from chronic perianal disease. Using validated tools (IIEF-5 for men, FSFI-6 for women) and a specialized Supplemental Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM), researchers will investigate how the presence of surgical devices (such as setons), disease etiology, and clinical symptoms affect sexual function and self-esteem. The study also aims to identify gaps in physician-patient communication regarding sexual health. By quantifying these impacts, the study seeks to promote a more holistic, patient-centered approach to the surgical management of perianal conditions.
NCT05594862
multicentre randomized controlled prospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the infiltration of microfractured adipose tissue in the healing of perianal fistulas not-responding to treatment with biologics, in order to improve the quality of life and significantly reduce the risk of definitive ostomy.
