About this study

Determine the optimal therapeutic combination associated with complete clinical and anatomical remission of anal suppurations of Crohn's disease at 12 months.

Read the detailed description

The management of anoperineal suppurations of Crohn's disease is most often based on clinical practice recommendations, the results of randomized controlled trials and also the analysis of monocentric cohort studies from expert centres. In these latter studies, there is an overall improvement in patients during follow-up with a high level of satisfaction (two thirds of cases), often assessed by the operator himself or the clinician who provides therapeutic management. The most striking finding is the one that highlights the use of combined therapeutic strategies combining immunosuppressants, biotherapies, antibiotics, surgical drainage and surgical reconstruction procedures to varying degrees. Thus, the absence of fistula pathway flow in the long term is the consequence of both maintenance treatment with biotherapies and several surgical procedures. When the characteristics of fistula pathways considered healed on clinical examination are analysed by MRI exploration, an active unhealed pathway persists in two thirds of cases, again emphasizing the inadequacy of clinical examination as a means of assessing recovery. For this reason, fistula pathway closure strategies do not provide much greater benefit than simple removal of the drainage loop. Conversely, medical treatment optimization strategies based on MRI evaluation of the therapeutic response have demonstrated high efficacy. It is necessary to (re)define the therapeutic management of patients with anoperineal lesions. This strategy must be based on a better initial stratification of patients based on prognostic factors derived from available scientific data. A second step consists in setting therapeutic efficacy objectives that take into account the control of the inflammatory component of anal Crohn's disease and the preservation of the anatomical and functional capital of the anus. Only a large prospective cohort at the national level provides the opportunity to study these prognostic factors and to specify the level of optimal therapeutic responses

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • surgical treatmentProcedure or surgery

    surgical drainage and/or surgical reconstruction procedures to anoperineal suppurations according to the doctor's decision

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical and anatomical healing

    The healing of anal fistula is defined by the combination of two criteria at 12 months :

    • MRI criteria = absence of a T2 hyper signal from the path(s) AND the absence of an abscess AND
    • Complete clinical response = no pain, no discharge, and no drain

    Measured: 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Crohn Disease and Anal Suppurations, run by Rennes University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact kristell COAT (299282555 ext. 33, kristell.coat@chu-rennes.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical and anatomical healing (time frame: 12 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 12 Apr 2023.
