  • Ages 5 days to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: Study population will consist of children newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease at primary care clinics.

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females younger than 17 years of age (before their 17th birthday). An upper limit of 17 years of age was selected as important inclusion criteria to maximize the number of potential subjects that would be diagnosed and followed by a pediatric gastroenterologist for at least 3 years.
  • Confirmed or suspected diagnosis of Crohn's disease based on standardized diagnostic criteria. The enrollment should occur within 30 days of diagnosis.
  • Able to provide written informed consent or the ability to obtain written informed consent from the parents or patient's legal guardian in conjunction with youth assent.
  • Consented to have specimens tested for genetics and immune responses.
  • Access to follow-up data for a minimum of 36 months after diagnosis.
  • Final eligibility will be determined by the health professionals conducting this clinical trial.

About this study

Official title: Risk Stratification and Identification of Immunogenetic and Microbial Markers of Rapid Disease Progression in Children With Crohn's Disease

The purpose of this study for children with a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease is to identify biomarkers found in the blood or stool to help predict which children are at risk of developing complications.

Read the detailed description

It is estimated that between 15-20% of children with Crohn's disease will develop complications that can require surgery within the first three years of diagnosis. The purpose of this study for children with a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease is to identify biomarkers found in the blood or stool to help predict which children are at risk of developing complications.

A total of 2000 children with newly-diagnosed Crohn's disease will be enrolled within 30 days of diagnosis. Up to 28 medical sites in the United States and Canada will participate in the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Identify demographic, clinical, microbial, genetic, and/or immunologic risk factors influencing the likelihood of rapid development of complicated disease phenotypes manifested as penetrating or stricturing disease and need for surgery.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Develop and validate risk stratification by stratifying patients into different levels of risk at diagnosis based on clinical, demographic, host microbial ecology, immune, and genetic determinants.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease, run by Emory University at 28 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 16 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

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?

Identify demographic, clinical, microbial, genetic, and/or immunologic risk factors influencing the likelihood of rapid development of complicated disease phenotypes manifested as penetrating or stricturing disease and need for surgery. (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00790543, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
