Filter by:Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) is a whole-food diet coupled with partial enteral nutrition. The main objective of this trial is to assess whether CDED is superior to corticosteroids, in terms of endoscopic response, in patients active CD. The primary endpoint is endoscopic response at week 16, without corticosteroids or further therapeutic intervention, assessed by a centralized, anonymous and blinded, double lecture panel of panenteric PillCam Crohn's Capsule. This is a multicentre, open-label, comparative, randomized, 2:1, controlled, single-blind, superiority trial. Patients included are aged 16 to 70 years, have mild to moderate, luminal, active CD, and have active endoscopic lesions. Eighty patients will be randomized between CDED (n=56) and corticosteroids (n=24) in centres in France, Israel and the Netherlands.
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-ended study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord MSCs in the treatment of refractory moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. The study protocol is either MSC injection into the patient's diseased intestinal mucosa or intravenous MSC injection + MSC injection into the patient's diseased intestinal mucosa. Follow-up time points were pre-treatment (week 0), week 4, week 8, week 12, and week 24 post-treatment, and the primary evaluation at follow-up was the number of subjects with clinical and endoscopic response or remission.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although inflammation is predominantly expressed in the GI tract, extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) are so frequent that the concept of systemic disease is now widely accepted. Moreover, similar to other chronic diseases, patients with CD can be affected by other unrelated diseases which are called comorbidities. Although no specific guidelines on comorbidity and EIMs in CD are available, data from other immune-mediated diseases support the use of nurse-led programs to improve the cost-effectiveness for the management of cardiovascular risk factors, increase rates of pneumococcal vaccination in high-risk patients, provide preventive measures against osteoporosis and increased fracture risk in older women. The investigators believe that such an initiative can be conducted for CD patients by developing a CD-specific nurse-led program. Moreover, it has been shown that CD patients highly appreciate the "communicator role" and "skilled companionship" performed by nurses to fulfill their needs for attention to the "complete picture". Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that a nurse-led program would increase the number of measures taken to treat or identify EIMs and/or comorbidities in CD patients and thus revolutionize their management.
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Like other chronic diseases, patients with CD may be affected by other diseases called comorbidities. The prevalence of comorbidities in IBD patients ranges from 30 to 70 %. Unlike other chronic diseases, there is currently no CD-specific tool to assess the impact of comorbidities on patients' lives in order to take appropriate medical measures. Several clinical indexes have been developed for the study of comorbidities, including the Charlson index and the Groll index, which are widely used. The disadvantage of these indexes is that they are not adapted to patients with CD. The primary objective of this study is to develop and validate a clinical index to evaluate the impact of comorbidities on disability in patients with CD.
People with Crohn's disease often need surgery. The gut bacteria of people with Crohn's is associated with Crohn's disease coming back after surgery. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) after surgery might be a way to prevent Crohn's disease from coming back after surgery. This study aims to determine if fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) taken by capsules results in the same amount of good bacteria in the guts as FMT by colonoscopy in people with Crohn's disease who have had surgery. Participants will be randomized to get FMT by capsules or colonoscopy. Colonoscopy with biopsies 8-weeks after the FMT will be used to assess the good bacteria in the gut.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a D-dimer based protocol to screen for thrombotic events in colorectal surgical patients. This study is unique because of the multistage screening process for DVT's using a standardized D-dimer testing methodology and ultrasound that will take place throughout the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative processes. The data collected from this screening study will help establish the baseline DVT rates in UTMB's colorectal surgical patients before and after surgery. Additionally, the data from this study can help determine if a D-dimer blood test has predictive value in UTMB's colorectal surgical patient population. This study may also provide preliminary evidence for further research regarding the adjustment of D-dimer cutoff values. Specifically for patient subsets such as surgical colorectal patients with a moderate pretest probability and clinical conditions associated with low test specificity
RESEARCH QUESTION Are handsewn (end to end and Kono S side to side) anastomoses superior to side to side stapled anastomosis after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease with respect to endoscopic recurrence, gastrointestinal function and costs. HYPOTHESIS Stapled side anastomosis advised in ECCO guidelines heal with ulcerations on the staple line causing systematic over scoring of endoscopic recurrence leading to unjustified restarting of expensive drugs reducing QOL and increasing costs. Side to side saccular configuration causes stasis affecting recurrence and dysfunction. DESIGN Randomised superiority study POPULATION Patients with Crohn requiring (re)resection of the (neo)terminal ileum INTERVENTION Kono S and end to end hand sewn anastomosis USUAL CARE Side to side stapled anastomosis OUTCOME Endoscopic recurrence (local and central reading) at 6 months SAMPLE 25% reduction in 2:1 ratio -> 126 + 63 = 189 patients KEYWORDS Crohn, ileocolic resection, recurrence
