Trial summary

In the past decade, the incidence and prevalence of CD (Crohn's disease) has continued to increase in Korea. Previous studies have indicated that Asian IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) patients differ from those of Western patients with regard to the genetic susceptibility and some clinical features.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Course of Crohn's Disease: a Prospective Multicenter Long-term Follow-up Study in Korea

In the past decade, the incidence and prevalence of CD (Crohn's disease) has continued to increase in Korea. Previous studies have indicated that Asian IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) patients differ from those of Western patients with regard to the genetic susceptibility and some clinical features. However, the available published data from retrospective studies in Korea were largely incomplete. The investigators aim of the study is a set-up of Korean cohort for CD, and thereby to assess the clinical course of Korean CD patients through a prospective multicenter long-term follow-up study. Secondary aims of this study are as follows: (1) to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and predictors to response to anti-TNF therapy for CD, (2) to identify the risk factors for postoperative recurrence on the basis of information obtained at initial diagnosis, and (3) to evaluate genotype-phenotype correlation.

Read the detailed description

From 2009 to 2018, new cases of CD diagnosed will be recruited. Participants for this study will be enrolled from 33 academic teaching hospitals or colorectal specialized hospitals across Korea.

Medical records will be used to register demographic data, disease phenotype, the use of medication, flare-ups, surgery, hospitalizations, and mortality. Whole blood will be collected to central biobank with extraction of DNA ans seroum. The Montreal classification of Crohn's disease and the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) will be used to describe disease location, behavior and severity. F/U data will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis with log rank test and Cox regression analysis. An electronic database will be established in use of processing data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease, run by Kyunghee University Medical Center at 9 sites in South Korea.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in South Korea. 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?

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?

To explore natural course of Crohn's disease and to identify prognostic factors for poor disease outcome in Korean patients with Crohn's disease (time frame: 10 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 NCT01554007, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
