Active clinical trials for "Crohn Disease"

This observational study is in line with the German educational plan with the aim to implement a tool to increase and monitor the awareness for tuberculosis screening and to reinforce the patient eligibility for a treatment with Remicade according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPc).

Specific CT Enteroclysis findings with or without other clinical and laboratory variables, can identify Crohn's disease patients who will response to medical therapy versus those who will either fail and require surgery or have uncontrolled disease.

Hypothesis: Mesalamine is commonly used to induce and maintain remission in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Behavioral and psycho-social barriers to mesalamine adherence exist in patients with IBD. These factors can be identified using qualitative testing in order to develop a validated instrument to measure the "adherence profile" of an individual patient, and design appropriate behavioral interventions to reduce non-adherence. Objectives: To test a novel interview instrument that determines the medication adherence profile of patients with IBD prescribed mesalamine by correlating with objective measures of adherence

The purpose of this study will permit to determine the role of FDG PET/CT to diagnose Crohn Disease and recurrence of Crohn disease after having compared results of PET/CT's with results of exams routinely performed(colonoscopy and bowel follow through).

Many inflammatory disorders in the body are linked to oxidative tissue damage. Anti-oxidants that are present in many natural food sources may provide protection from such damage. Beta carotene is an anti-oxidant vitamin present in many fruits and vegetables. The algae Dunaliella is particularly rich in beta carotene. In this prospective trial we want to investigate whether beta carotene from Dunaliella may prevent exacerbations of Crohn's disease.

This is a study of the electronical dosing tool MedicPen and it's qualities with regards to user friendliness and medication compliance.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the risks factors of complications after ileocolic resection for Crohn disease according to the comprenhensive complication index. Methods: Data collected between January 2010 and March 2020 will be analyzed. Informations about preoperative, peroperative and post operative will be collected. The outcome after surgery will be analysed according to the comprehensive complication index.

This is a multi-center study that explores the relationship between recapture of response with escalation to weekly adalimumab and trough adalimumab concentration before escalation in patients experiencing lack of response (LOR).

Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disabling, incurable condition that affects 250,000 people in France, and Crohn's disease (CD) is the most common form. CD progresses, in one-quarter of the cases, towards the appearance of intestinal stenosis, most often on the terminal ileum, sometimes with obstructive symptoms and requiring an optimization of medical treatment (biotherapies) and/or surgery The hypothesis of this study is [18F]FDG PET /CT, (Positron emission tomography with the tracer fluorine-18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), called [18F]FDG PET coupled to a dedicated CT scanner) could help quantify intestinal inflammation in patients with abnormal entero-MRI, and differentiate inflammation and fibrosis on a joint PET /CT and MRI , in patients with complicated Crohn Disease intestinal stenosis

Intestinal stricture is a complication of Crohn's disease (CD), which is thought to be the result of chronic transmural inflammation combined with a dysregulated wound-healing process. While inflammatory strictures may respond to anti-inflammatory treatment, fibrotic strictures are usually anti-inflammation resistant, requiring further endoscopic balloon dilation or surgical intervention. Therefore, to determinate the inflammatory or fibrotic nature of intestinal stricture is a key step in the treatment of CD. 18F-FDG is a radiotracer reflecting the glucose metabolism of disease and is usually accumulated in inflammatory disease. 68Ga-FAPI is a novel radiotracer that specifically targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP). FAP is a membrane glycoprotein expressed on activated fibroblasts, which are key cells in the process of fibrotic intestinal stricture of CD. In this study, we hypothesis that the inflammatory or fibrotic nature of intestinal stricture can be non-invasively evaluated by 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in patients with CD.
