Trial summary

The investigators will prospectively recruit 26 children with moderate - severe active Crohn disease (PCDAI >30). Results will be compared to 26 patients in sustained remission (PCDAI <10 and physician global assessment of remission over the previous 6 months) who are matched for age and gender.

About this study

Official title: Impaired IGF-1 Generation Causes Protein Catabolism and Poor Growth in Children With Crohn Disease

The investigators will prospectively recruit 26 children with moderate - severe active Crohn disease (PCDAI >30). Results will be compared to 26 patients in sustained remission (PCDAI <10 and physician global assessment of remission over the previous 6 months) who are matched for age and gender. Subjects will be studied at baseline and six months. The primary study end-points will be leucine rate of appearance (a measure of protein breakdown) and IGF-1 levels.

This study will test the hypothesis that children with greater disease severity will have worse longitudinal growth and protein catabolism. The investigators will also explore the secondary hypothesis that children with Crohn disease have abnormal IGF-1 generation which is linked to underlying inflammation and disease severity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohns Disease, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2015. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: PI left institution). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Height velocity (time frame: 6 months). 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 15 May 2015.
