About this study

Official title: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Antibiotic Refractory Pouchitis: a Phase 2A Clinical Trial

The aim of current study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis.

Read the detailed description

Pouch ischemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pouchitis after IPAA surgery for ulcerative colitis. Obese Male patients are at high risk for pouchitis because of mesenteric tension. Excessive weight gain is associated with an increased risk for pouch failure in patients with restorative proctocolectomy. Also, patients with an 'S' pouch hardly ever develop chronic pouchitis, owing to the additional length of bowel loop along with mesentery when attached to the anal transitional zone. The treatment of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis(CARP) is difficult.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT) have been proven effecitve in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD). Meta-analysis revealed that the overall response rate was 86% (85% CD, 88% UC), and of the endoscopic response rate to HBOT is 100%. The possible mechanism might be due to the prmoted wound healing by increasing oxygen delivery to hypooxic tissues and changes in inflammatory and immunological mediators.

Therefore, the aim of current study is to examine the therapeutic effect of HBOT for chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis(CARP).

What is being measured

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

  1. Remission rate

    Defined by a pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI) score of < 7 points

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Response rate

    Defined as a ≥ 3-point reduction in the 18-point PDAI scoring system

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. Symptomatic improvement rate

    Reduction of PDAI clinical subscore >2 points.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  3. Endoscopic improvement rate

    Reduction of PDAI endoscopic subscore >2 points.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  4. Fecal calprotectin level

    Fecal caprotectin level before and after treatment

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  5. Plasma C-reactive protein level

    Plasma caprotectin level before and after treatment

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  6. Plasma Interleukin-6 level

    Plasma Interleukin-6 level before and after treatment

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  7. Fecal microbiome

    Fecal microbiome analysis using 16S RNA technique before and after treatment

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  8. Adverse events

    Any adverse event deemed as possibly, probably, or definitely related to investigational treatment during 2-3 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in people with Pouchitis and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, run by Jinling Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 18 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 16 May 2018. 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 China. 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 Jianfeng Gong, MD (+86-25-80860036, gongjianfeng@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Remission rate (time frame: up to 4 weeks). 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 16 May 2018.
