Trial summary

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are group of immune system disorders characterized by a chronic course with remission and relapses. Canada is one of the countries with the highest prevalence and incidence rates of IBD with 25% of patients present in children and adolescents. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 24 to 40 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The participant population will be comprised of adult patients who were initially diagnosed with IBD in childhood or adolescence (diagnosis was made < age of 18 years) and who were followed by the Section of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital from 1974 - 2009. Controls: age and sex-matched control group will be generated using the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) 2012 (16) with access through the local Research and Data Centre (RDC).

Who may be able to join

  • adult patients who were initially diagnosed with IBD in childhood or adolescence (diagnosis was made < age of 18 years) and who were followed by the Section of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the Winnipeg Children's Hospital from 1974 - 2009.

Who cannot join

  • Patients in whom the diagnosis of IBD was not fully established following the current North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) guidelines for diagnosing IBD i.e. had clinical, radiologic and endoscopic evidence of IBD (2).
  • Control participants with other chronic debilitating diseases (e.g. malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc..) that may affect quality of life and functional outcome

About this study

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are group of immune system disorders characterized by a chronic course with remission and relapses. Canada is one of the countries with the highest prevalence and incidence rates of IBD with 25% of patients present in children and adolescents.

As with any chronic illness, IBD diagnosed early in life has a significant impact on the physical, emotional and social development of those affected. Consequently, it is logical to speculate that patients with IBD may not do as well in education levels or employment status attained compared to their peers without IBD. If this were the case, then interventions could begin in childhood to better prepare patients with IBD for the challenges of living with a chronic disease. Alternatively, if it is shown that they reach comparable social or employment milestones as adults compared to unaffected peers then this would be enormously reassuring to children and their parents.

Properly designed studies to help in defining more appropriate interventions to these patients are needed.

The proposed study includes circulating a survey to evaluate the functioning level of adult patients with IBD who were diagnosed during their childhood. The participants will be asked a series of questions regarding their highest level of educational achievement, the nature of their current employment, and their current marital status. The question format will parallel that of the Canadian Community Health Survey from which data from an age matched healthy adult Manitobans will be extracted and used as another control group. Responses will be analysed for any possible differences between these groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional outcome (highest level of education attained and current occupation) of those with IBD compared to age and sex-matched healthy adult Manitobans

    The highest level of education attained and current occupation will be obtained from participants using structured questionnaire (non-validated interview questionnaire) e.g.

    Employed: Y N If No, Unemployed Y N, Disabled Y N , Homemaker Y N Student Y N, Retired Y N Is the cause of not working disease-related Y N

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional outcome of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) versus those with ulcerative colitis (UC)

    The same structured questionnaire tool will be used. Data will be collected on the highest level of education achieved and the current occupation including any periods of unemployment and if this is disease-related or not

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 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 1 site 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.

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?

Functional outcome (highest level of education attained and current occupation) of those with IBD compared to age and sex-matched healthy adult Manitobans (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02152241, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Oct 2016.
