About this study

Official title: Gastrointestinal Motility and Sleep Disturbances in Patients With Quiescent Crohn's Disease

In this study we would like to clarify the effect of long lasting Crohn's Disease on motility of the gastrointestinal system in patient and the effect regarding sleep disturbances. This will be done with a newly developed 3D-Motility-and-Transit-detector (Motilis Medica, Schweiz) and the well known polysomnographic equipment.

Our hypothesises are:

Read more

Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and gastrointestinal symptoms have abnormal colonic transit (primary endpoint).

  1. Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and gastrointestinal symptoms have abnormal gastric emptying and small intestinal transit (secondary endpoints).
  2. Total and segmental transit times found in patients with CD will be compared with corresponding transit times in healthy volunteers found in a previous study.
  3. Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission have abnormal sleep patterns.
  4. Nocturnal basic colonic activity, have changed in patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and sleep disturbances.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total and segmental gastrointestinal transit time in patients suffering from CD

    Measured: Expected average total transit time less than two days, analyzed after 2-3 days

  2. Abnormal sleep pattern in patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission

    Measured: Recorded during a single night, analyzed one of the two following days.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Gastric emptying in CD patients

    Measured: Less than 1 day, analyzed after 1-3 days

  2. Small intestinal transit time in CD patients

    Measured: Less than 2 days, analyzed after 2-3 days

  3. Segmental colonic transit time in CD patients

    Measured: Average less than 2 day, analyzed after 2-3 days

  4. Nocturnal basic colonic activity in patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and sleep disturbances

    Measured: Recorded during one night, analyzed one of the two following days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn's Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 14 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 19 Sep 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

Contact Katrine O. Andersen (004542301641, koaaarhus@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total and segmental gastrointestinal transit time in patients suffering from CD (time frame: Expected average total transit time less than two days, analyzed after 2-3 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Sep 2014.
