About this study

Official title: Long Term Observational Study of the Safety and Efficacy of an Active Implantable Vagal Nerve Stimulation Device in Patients With Crohn's Disease

This will be an open label multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of an active implantable VNS device in patients with Crohn's Disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients who complete study SPM-007 will be enrolled in this study at the time of the last visit of the preceding study. The assessments at the last visit of the preceding study will also be used as baseline measures for the current study. If the patient has previously discontinued SPM-007 and greater than 30 days have elapsed since the final visit in SPM-007, baseline measures for the current study will be repeated, and an interim medical history will be taken to assess whether any new medical conditions were diagnosed in the time between studies.

The study will continue until the last patient entered has completed 24 months in this study.

Follow-up visits will occur at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. A final follow-up visit will occur for all remaining patients at study closure when the final enrolled subject has completed 24 months on study.

An Interim Visit must be performed a maximum of 1 month after any change in device settings. Interim visits may also be performed at any time at the principal investigator's discretion; either between scheduled visits, or after the patient has completed the Month 24 Visit, if the study is still ongoing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cyberonics VNS in people with Crohn Disease, run by SetPoint Medical Corporation at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 13 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 3 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Croatia, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

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?

Crohn's Disease Activity Index (time frame: 24 months). 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 3 Aug 2017.
