Trial summary

The hypothesis of the study is that in ulcerative colitis repeated flares of inflammatory activity, as well as mechanisms involved in resolution of the inflammatory response, may contribute to accumulation of damage in the colon leading to functional disturbances and symptoms that affect patient's functioning.

About this study

The hypothesis of the study is that in ulcerative colitis repeated flares of inflammatory activity, as well as mechanisms involved in resolution of the inflammatory response, may contribute to accumulation of damage in the colon leading to functional disturbances and symptoms that affect patient's functioning. The primary objective is to determine whether ulcerative colitis induces permanent anatomical damage, by means of magnetic resonance imaging.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship of structural changes in colon morphology and functional changes assessed by MRI with disease duration in UC patients in clinical remission

    Explorative structural changes

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Patient reported outcomes on IBDQ-32 questionnaire

    Inflammatory bowel diseases health-related quality of life index which is a questionnaire of 32 items, score ranges from 32 to 224.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Patient reported outcomes on EQ-5D-5L questionnaire

    EQ-5D-5L questionnaire a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status, score ranges from -0.224 to 1.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Patient reported outcomes on Work Productivity and Activity questionnaire

    Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire is a well validated instrument to measure impairments in work and activities. Consists in 6 questions: question1: yes/no, questions 2 to 4: number of hours (count data), question 5: global rating scale, 0-10 (0 = health problems had no effect on my work, 10 = health problems completely prevented me from working), question 6: global rating scale, 0-10 (0 = health problems had no effect on my daily activities, 10 = health problems completely prevented me from doing my daily activities)

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Patient reported outcomes on Disability Index questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline

  5. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage disease severity with number of f the hospital admissions

    Measured: Baseline

  6. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage disease severity with dose of corticoesteroids

    Measured: Baseline

  7. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage disease severity with dose of immunosuppressants

    Measured: Baseline

  8. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage disease severity with dose of biologics drugs

    Measured: Baseline

  9. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage with the disease extension at diagnosis and maximal extension of the disease at any time proctitis

    Measured: Baseline

  10. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage with the disease extension at diagnosis and maximal extension of the disease at any time left colitis

    Measured: Baseline

  11. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage with the disease extension at diagnosis and maximal extension of the disease at any time extensive colitis

    Measured: Baseline

  12. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage with the time since the disease diagnosis

    Measured: Baseline

  13. To identify disease characteristics associated with permanent/accumulated damage related to anorectal function using Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score

    Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score is a questionnaire that reports the consistency and frequency of depositions is a 5 questions questionnaires with 7 possible answers each question.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Ulcerative Colitis, run by David Garcia Cinca at 4 sites in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 20 May 2019. 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 Spain. 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 Julia Panes, MD (93.227.54.00, jpanes@clinic.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relationship of structural changes in colon morphology and functional changes assessed by MRI with disease duration in UC patients in clinical remission (time frame: Baseline). 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 20 May 2019.
