Trial summary

The study hypothesis is that adalimumab induces mucosal healing in the small bowel and that mucosal healing correlates with disease activity. 30 Patients with isolated active small bowel Crohn's disease which are candidates to receive anti-TNF treatment will be included in the study.

About this study

The study hypothesis is that adalimumab induces mucosal healing in the small bowel and that mucosal healing correlates with disease activity. 30 Patients with isolated active small bowel Crohn's disease which are candidates to receive anti-TNF treatment will be included in the study. All patients will undergo patency capsule examination and capsule endoscopy afterwards. Small bowel endoscopic disease severity will be assessed by the capsule endoscopy Crohn's disease activity index (CECDAI). The patients will receive Adalimumab (Humira)injections (160mg,80mg and 40mg every 2 weeks ) for 12 weeks. on week 14 a second capsule endoscopy will be performed and CECDAI calculated again. The patients clinical condition, CDAI,IBDQ and laboratory results including CRP, CBC and fecal calprotectin will be assessed on weeks o, 7 and 14 and results will be compared with the endoscopic score.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Treatment with AdalimumabDrug

    Also called Humira (Abbott Laboratories)

    All patients will receive SC adalimumab 160 mg at week 0, 80 mg at week 2 and 40 mg from week 4 every 2 weeks up to 12 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete mucosal healing

    Complete mucosal healing of active inflammatory lesions in the small intestine, as assessed by capsule endoscopy

    Measured: After 14 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Partial mucosal healing

    Reduction of at least 50% in the Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CECDAI) after treatment.

    Measured: After 14 weeks of treatment

  2. Correlation with clinical activity

    Statistical correlation between CECDAI reduction and reduction in clinical (CDAI, IBDQ) and laboratory (CRP, calprotectin etc.) indices of disease activity.

    Measured: After 14 weeks of treatment
