Trial summary

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory (swelling and soreness) disorder of the digestive tract. Affected patients suffer from abdominal pains, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), weight loss. It is a lifelong disease with frequent flares during the course of the disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Relationship Between Infliximab Treatment Response, Regulatory T Cells, and Interleukin-2 in Crohn's Disease

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory (swelling and soreness) disorder of the digestive tract. Affected patients suffer from abdominal pains, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), weight loss. It is a lifelong disease with frequent flares during the course of the disease. Crohn's disease is mostly treated with medications, sometimes surgery is needed. Infliximab is a medication for treating severe Crohn's disease. This medicine is effective by blocking special substance (tumor necrosis factor) released from certain white blood cells in the body. Infliximab is given via a vessel at week 0, 2, 6 initially, then every 2 monthly for maintenance. However, some of patients with Crohn's disease do not respond infliximab. Currently there is no test to reveal which patients will respond to treatment. This study aims to analyze and compare particular subgroup of white cells and its products during and after infliximab treatment which may determine the responsiveness to infliximab treatment.

Read the detailed description

All patients will have chest x-ray and pregnancy test (if female) prior to infliximab treatment.

There will be total 5 study visits. At each visit, body weight will be measured, abdominal exam will be performed , 2 tablespoonful of blood will be drawn, stool will be collected, a questionnaire will be completed.

What participants receive

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

  • InfliximabDrug

    Patient will receive Infliximab infusions during Weeks 0, 2 and 6. Therefore, the duration of the Infliximab treatment will last 6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of IL-2 and Treg cell levels

    To determine if the change of IL-2 and Treg cell levels can be used clinically as a predictive marker for differentiating Infliximab responders from nonresponders

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Infliximab in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Oregon Health and Science University 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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2019. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Changes of IL-2 and Treg cell levels (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01266785, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 May 2019.
