Filter by:Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U), are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Over the past 50 years, the incidence of IBD has increased globally, with the highest increase in industrialised countries. During the last 25 years, the incidence of IBD has increased dramatically among teenagers in northern France, with an increase of 126% and 156% for CD and UC, respectively. Physical fitness is a set of attributes related to a person's ability to perform physical activities that require aerobic capacity, endurance, strength or flexibility and is determined by a combination of regular physical activity and genetically inherited ability. Physical fitness, widely recognised as an important health determinant, plays an important role in growth and development. Due to the evidence-based importance of physical fitness for young people's health status, attention should be paid to the assessment of physical fitness at these ages and whatever the health status. At this time, there is no study on the assessment of physical fitness in IBD pediatric patient.
Muscle and physical activity play an important role in in growth, development and bone health in healthy children, especially during puberty. Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have lower level and intensity of physical compared to a control group. Several studies have shown that children with IBD have a lower bone mineral density (BMD) than general population, due to risk factors such as corticosteroid use, disease intensity, inflammation, malnutrition and a vitamin D deficiency. This low BMD is associated with an increased risk of fracture. A recent observational study found a positive and significant correlation between BMD in IBD patients and time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity for one week (unpublished data).The present study aims to show a benefit of an adapted physical activity program on BMD in children and adolescents with IBD.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986165 compared to placebo in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease.
