About this study

Official title: Treatment and Long-term Outcomes of Pediatric Patient With Penetrating Crohn's Disease: the Multicenter Cross-sectional Study

The incidence of Crohn's disease (CD) increased the last few years, especially in children, with 20% percent of CD patients diagnosed during childhood. The CD is a chronic disease without curative treatment, medical or surgical, and evolution is longer in children, avoid iterative digestive resections and their consequences in these patients is a major issue.

The beginning of the disease at pediatric age is considered to be a poor prognostic factor and is considered to be more aggressive than that of adults: more extensive, more active and requiring more immunosuppressive treatments, with a more frequent dependence on corticosteroids and a shorter delay between the beginning of symptoms and the first surgery. After 5 years of evolution, 13 to 50% of patients with early pediatric MC have undergone intestinal resection.

The Paris' classification defined 3 phenotypes or behaviors in pediatric Crohn's disease. Penetrating phenotype (B3) is a heterogeneous group defined by the presence of intra-abdominal perforation, fistulas or abscesses. The B3 phenotype is a risk factor for pejorative evolution in CD with a risk increased of surgical resection.

In the pediatric population, the natural history of patients with penetrating CD is unknown. Most studies focus on CD beginning at pediatric age but with penetrating complications occurring in adulthood or pediatric penetrating CD but with relatively short follow-up. The risk of recurrence of the penetrating disease after a first complication in childhood is unknown, the factors influencing this risk also. And, there is no consensus either concerning optimal B3 management in children, and the practices are variable from specialist to specialist.

After describing the pediatric population with penetrating CD, the aim of this study was to know the incidence of bowel resection for B3 episode. The secondary aims were to describe the immediate management and long-term evolution of these patients and to identify risk factors for adverse evolution.

Read the detailed description

This study is cross-sectional and is carrying out between 1995 and 2017 in two French tertiary referral centers (Montpellier, Toulouse) and EPIMAD registry which is currently the largest Inflammatory Bowel Disease cohort in world and cover 9.6% of French population (Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Somme, and Seine-Maritime department).

All patients diagnosed with CD who had underwent a B3 complication (intra-abdominal abscess, fistula, perforation, peritonitis, or phlegmon) before the age of 18. Patient having isolated perineal disease, indeterminate colitis or with too much missing data were excluded.

The main endpoint: incidence of intestinal resection performed for B3 complication.

The secondary endpoints:

  • description of the pediatric population with B3 complication with:
  • demographic data: sex, family history, phenotype of the disease according to the Paris classification, age at diagnosis of B3, period of diagnosis of B3 (before or after 2001), time between the diagnosis of CD and the diagnosis of B3, a history of medical and surgical treatment for CD received before B3.
  • clinical data: type of B3 complication, presence of stenosis and its location, clinical symptoms (fever, obstructive symptoms), nutritional status.
  • description of the immediate management of these patients, specifying: the place of care, the type of immediate management performed, the drug treatments received in the acute phase, the medical treatments for CD introduced for the B3 episode, the intestinal resections performed for the B3 episode, the realization of a stoma, the radiological drainage of abscesses, the immediate complications of B3.
  • description of the long-term evolution of these patients, specifying: the given drug treatments, the clinical recurrence of the CD, the recurrence of B3, the need for intestinal resection during follow-up, the occurrence of other events
  • identification of risk factors for pejorative evolution defined by "recurrence of B3" or "intestinal resection" in these patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of intestinal resection performed for B3 complication in pediatric population

    • Incidence of intestinal resection at the first episode of B3
    • Cumulated incidence of intestinal resection in the follow up.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of recurrence of B3 complication in pediatric population

    Incidence of recurrence of B3 complication and specifying :

    • median duration of recurrence after the first episode
    • number of recurrence

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 years

  2. identification of risk factors for pejorative evolution (recurrence of <B3 or intestinal resection) of the pediatric population with B3 complication

    Multivariate analysis with the following data to define parameters associated with "recurrence of B3" or "intestinal resection"

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 10 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pediatric Penetrating Crohn's Disease, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 2020. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

incidence of intestinal resection performed for B3 complication in pediatric population (time frame: through study completion, an average of 10 years). 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 29 Dec 2020.
