About this study
Official title: Multicenter, Prospective, Study Comparing PillCam® Crohn's Capsule Endoscopy (CE) to Ileocolonoscopy (IC) Plus MRE for Detection of Active Crohn's Disease (CD) in the Small Bowel and Colon in Subjects With Known CD and Mucosal Disease
This study will evaluate the efficacy of capsule endoscopy (CE) versus ileocolonoscopy (IC) plus MRE for detection of active Crohn's disease (CD) in the small bowel in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the accuracy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active CD, by visualizing the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.
There will be assessment of mucosal disease activity at baseline. Patient satisfaction questionnaire will be completed at baseline.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, prospective, study, evaluating the efficacy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active Crohn's Disease (CD) in the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.
A screening visit will be performed within 30 days prior to baseline procedures to assess pre-procedure eligibility. At this visit the following assessments will be performed: Informed Consent, Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria, Demographics, Montreal Classification, Medical History, Previous GI procedures, Surgical history, Laboratory tests and pregnancy tests.
At baseline, subjects with known CD on routine evaluation (e.g. history, physical exams, labs) and a recent history of mucosal disease (within the last 2 years and diagnosis based on radiologic, endoscopic, or histologic findings) OR subjects with known CD and active disease based on clinical judgment based on symptoms, laboratory data or other clinical information will undergo Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE), Capsule Endoscopy (CE) and Ileocolonoscopy (IC), to assess presence or absence of CD across the small and large bowel. Also, at baseline the following assessments will take place: Laboratory tests, Pregnancy test, Concomitant medications, Patient satisfaction questionnaire and Adverse Events (AE).
Subjects will be exited from the study once all Baseline Procedures have been completed and AEs resolved.
All CE videos, IC videos and MRE images will be evaluated by central readers.
The planned number of subjects is 352. Subjects will be enrolled at up to 40 sites in the United States, Israel, and Austria. Study duration is expected to be up to approximately 1.5 years. The expected duration of each subject's participation is approximately 1 month.
