Designing a Personalized Diet to Reduce the Risk of Crohn's Disease Onset

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this trial is to run a pilot study that examines the impact of different dietary components on risk factors such as the Genetic, Environmental, Microbial (GEM) Microbiome Risk Score (GMRS) and fecal calprotectin (FCP), a marker of inflammation in the bowels, and a risk factor for developing Crohn's disease (CD) among first degree relatives (parents, siblings, or offspring) of Crohn's patients. The study will utilize the Western diet and the Mediterranean diet to explore the complex interplay between diet, microbiome, and inflammatory biomarkers to identify specific dietary components that may be beneficial in reducing the risk of developing CD. The study will enroll 30 participants from Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a clinical trial that will occur at Mount Sinai Hospital and healthy first degree relatives of CD patients will be recruited. Participation will occur over 7 weeks with 1 week of consuming the subject's regular diet and 6 weeks of intervention. A total of 30 subjects are expected to be enrolled into this trial. As part of this trial, The study will attempt to modify dietary consumption between the Western Diet (WD) and the Mediterranean Diet (MD) to evaluate participants responses to specific food items key to the WD or MD by monitoring subject's GMRS and FCP. Subjects will be randomized into one of two groups (1:1), in which there will be crossover between the two diets. Stool samples will be collected 3 times a week, a daily questionnaire and a daily consumption diary will be completed through an app. Group 1 will follow the WD for weeks 2 and 3, switch to the MD for weeks 4 and 5, and then back to the WD for weeks 6 and 7. Group 2 will follow the MD for weeks 2 and 3, switch to the WD for weeks 4 and 5, and then back to the MD for weeks 6 and 7. Meal plans developed by the study Dietitian and recipes will be provided for all weeks of the intervention (weeks 2-7). These meal plans will be identical for subjects within the same group. Groceries required to prepare the meals as per the meal plan will be provided to subjects on a weekly basis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
