Single-arm study, which includes MRE procedure, Patency Capsule Procedure (if needed), PillCam Crohn's Capsule Endoscopy Procedure and Ileocolonoscopy procedure.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Accuracy of CE Versus IC Plus MRE for Detecting Active Crohn's Disease (CD), by Visualizing the Small Bowel and Colon in Subjects With Know CD and Mucosal Disease.
Central readers will be used to read all videos/images and analyses will be based on these results. A consensus panel will be used if there are discrepancies in results between modalities at baseline. Capsule endoscopy and IC results will be read by gastroenterologists and MRE results will be read by radiologists. Scores used will be Lewis Score, Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease Index (SES-CD) Score and Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) Score

Secondary Outcome Measures

Specificity, Negative Predictive Value, and Positive Predictive Value for Active CD in the Small Bowel and Colon by CE as Compared to IC Plus MRE.
Central readers will be used to read all videos/images and analyses will be based on these results. A consensus panel will be used if there are discrepancies in results between modalities at baseline. Capsule endoscopy and IC results will be read by gastroenterologists and MRE results will be read by radiologists. Scores used will be Lewis Score, Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease Index (SES-CD) Score and Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) Score

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy of capsule endoscopy (CE) versus ileocolonoscopy (IC) plus MRE for detection of active Crohn's disease (CD) in the small bowel in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess the accuracy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active CD, by visualizing the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease. There will be assessment of mucosal disease activity at baseline. Patient satisfaction questionnaire will be completed at baseline.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, prospective, study, evaluating the efficacy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active Crohn's Disease (CD) in the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease. A screening visit will be performed within 30 days prior to baseline procedures to assess pre-procedure eligibility. At this visit the following assessments will be performed: Informed Consent, Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria, Demographics, Montreal Classification, Medical History, Previous GI procedures, Surgical history, Laboratory tests and pregnancy tests. At baseline, subjects with known CD on routine evaluation (e.g. history, physical exams, labs) and a recent history of mucosal disease (within the last 2 years and diagnosis based on radiologic, endoscopic, or histologic findings) OR subjects with known CD and active disease based on clinical judgment based on symptoms, laboratory data or other clinical information will undergo Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE), Capsule Endoscopy (CE) and Ileocolonoscopy (IC), to assess presence or absence of CD across the small and large bowel. Also, at baseline the following assessments will take place: Laboratory tests, Pregnancy test, Concomitant medications, Patient satisfaction questionnaire and Adverse Events (AE). Subjects will be exited from the study once all Baseline Procedures have been completed and AEs resolved. All CE videos, IC videos and MRE images will be evaluated by central readers. The planned number of subjects is 352. Subjects will be enrolled at up to 40 sites in the United States, Israel, and Austria. Study duration is expected to be up to approximately 1.5 years. The expected duration of each subject's participation is approximately 1 month.
