About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Open Label Infliximab for the Induction and Maintenance of Mucosal Healing in Small Bowel Crohn's Disease Assessed Through Wireless Camera Endoscopy (the ICE Study)

This is a pilot study to estimate the efficacy of infliximab in inducing and maintaining healing of lesions in the mucosa of subjects with Crohn's disease involving their small bowel.

Read the detailed description

Landmark trials in Crohn's disease demonstrated the efficacy of infliximab in inducing and maintaining clinical remission. Furthermore, the endoscopic sub-studies within these trials demonstrated the ability of infliximab to rapidly induce and maintain mucosal healing as evidenced by the complete absence of mucosal breaks in the colon and terminal ileum. Unfortunately, conventional colonoscopy does not allow intestinal exploration beyond a very restricted portion of the small bowel (at most 10-15 cm of the terminal ileum). A study that systematically examines the changes in the small bowel mucosa during Crohn's disease symptomatic improvement is clearly needed.

This study consists of 20 subjects and 30 weeks of follow up. All subjects will undergo wireless camera endoscopy at three (3) visits, namely: at Screening, at Week 10 and at Week 26. Infliximab is administered at (5) visits, namely: at Baseline (week 0), Week 2, Week 6, Week 14 and Week 22. In some subjects, an ileal-colonoscopy may be performed at Week 26.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Infliximab 5 mg/kg body weight infused over 2 hours in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Janssen Inc. at 2 sites in Canada.

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 9 inclusion and 0 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 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Endoscopic Improvement (time frame: Week 26). 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 16 Dec 2013.
