About this study

The project is based on adult and paediatric cohorts among the largest ones in Paris and located at Saint Louis and Robert Debré hospitals. Experiments will be performed at INSERM Unit U843 in collaboration with the department of immunology and statistics, Robert Debré Hospital.

Read the detailed description

Crohn's Disease (CD) affects about 60.000 to 80.000 people in France. It is characterised by a chronic or relapsing inflammation of the gut. Its aetiology is largely unknown, limiting the development of preventive and curative therapeutic options. In 2001, we have identified the first CD susceptibility gene: CARD15/NOD2. This gene is involved in the innate immune response but we do not know today how gene mutations may induce the disease lesions. However, many data suggest that the intestinal inflammation may be related with an abnormal function of the lymphoid tissue present in the gut.

The aim of the present proposal is to better understand the role of CARD15/NOD2 mutations (R702W, G908R and 1007fs) in the development and the function of the intestinal lymphoid tissue. 250 patients and controls will be enrolled at Robert Debré and Saint Louis Hospital (Paris, France) within a 2 years period.

For participant, 4 to 5 ileal biopsies will be taken during a routine colonoscopy. Patients will be classed in three groups according to their number of CARD15/NOD2 mutations (1) wild-type, 2) mutated heterozygotes and 3) mutated homozygotes or compound heterozygotes). A comparison between groups and with non inflammatory (colonoscopy performed for other reasons) or inflammatory (ulcerative colitis patients) controls will be done. For each group, cell phenotype, cytokine profile, permeability and bacterial translocation will be analysed on Peyer's patches.

The project is based on adult and paediatric cohorts among the largest ones in Paris and located at Saint Louis and Robert Debré hospitals. Experiments will be performed at INSERM Unit U843 in collaboration with the department of immunology and statistics, Robert Debré Hospital.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intestinal biopsies in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cytokine production and cell phenotype in Peyer patches (time frame: final time frame at the end of the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2012.
