Background Crohn s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation of the gut. Symptoms may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. CD has no cure, but symptoms can sometimes be controlled with medicine. Researchers want to see if it is safe to treat CD …
The aim of this study is to develop and assess the feasibility and effect of a web-based, personalized risk-estimation for Crohn's disease (PRE-Crohn's) tool on behaviors and biomarkers associated with risk for Crohn's disease in unaffected first-degree relatives of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We hypothesize that personalized risk disclosure …
Recent researches have reported that biologics might be also effective for stricturing CD. However, the data were largely retrospective. Prospective studied are needed for evaluate the efficacy of biologics for stricturing Crohn's diseases.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if statins work to prevent strictures in adults with Crohn's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Can statins reduce the formation of strictures in participants with stricturing Crohn's disease? Researchers will compare statins to a placebo (a look-a-like …
The investigators will be evaluating bone marrow composition via magnetic resonance imaging in newly diagnosed adolescents with Crohn disease (CD) compared to healthy, matched controls. The investigators will also be assessing their bone mineral density via other imaging modalities, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography. This longitudinal …
People living with Crohn's disease (CD) experience psychological and emotional symptoms, in addition to known chronic and disabling physical symptoms, which prevent them from living their life to the fullest (flourishing). Depression and anxiety are experienced by 30% of people living with CD and 60% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) …
The diagnosis of Crohn's Disease (CD) is based on a combination of clinical, biochemical (serological and fecal), endoscopic, radiological, and histological investigations. In the absence of obstructive symptoms or known stenosis, European guidelines recommend to investigate the small intestine using Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) if ileocolonoscopy is not decisive. To …
Unfortunately, some patients with Crohn's disease (CD) fail to respond to the best clinical treatments and some only experience temporary benefit. For severe Crohn's disease, there is an experimental treatment called "high dose immunoablation" followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study removes over active lymphocytes (immunoablation) and …
Transabdominal intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is gaining acceptance as a point-of-care test to objectively assess disease activity in Crohn's disease (CD). In order to incorporate individual parameters in a future definition of transmural healing, and for the consistent application of IUS as a modality to assess treatment outcomes and establish therapeutic …
This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of infliximab and immunosuppressives therapy alone or in combination for pediatric Crohn's disease.
