About this study

Official title: Prospective, Controlled, Randomized, Multicentered, Open-label Study, Comparing 2 Modalities of Follow-up of Patients With Crohn's Disease, Postoperatively Treated With Adalimumab (Immunomonitoring vs Standard Follow-up)

Study comparing 2 modalities of Crohn's disease patients postoperative follow-up treated with adalimumab (Humira® or biosimilar) : immunomonitoring of adalimumab serum levels versus standard follow-up, which is based on the clinical and biological activity of the disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients in the experimental arm will have a post-operative follow-up based on the immunomonitoring of serum levels of adalimumab. After ileocolic resection surgery, patients will have a therapeutic optimization of their adalimumab (Humira® or biosimilar) treatment, based on their serum residual rate of adalimumab.

Patients in the control group will receive a standard post-operative follow-up, which is based on clinical and biological recurrence.

What participants receive

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

  • Immunomonitoring-based follow-upOther

    Post-operative follow-up of Crohn's disease patients will be done through the measurement of the residual rate of the drug adalimumab in the serum. Patients will receive adalimumab treatment every other week, starting 1 month after the surgery. 3 months after the surgery, serum levels of adalimumab will be measured:

    • If the level is below 5ug/mL, adalimumab treatment will be increased to every other week until the end of the study.
    • If adalimumab level in the serum is above 5ug/mL, the treatment's frequency will be maintained until the end of the study.
  • Standard follow-upOther

    Post-operative follow-up of Crohn's disease patients will be based on clinical and biological parameters. Patients will receive adalimumab treatment every other week, starting 1 month after the surgery. If clinical relapse (CDAI > 220 together with an increase of 70 points) and biological relapse (CRP > 10mg/mL and fecal calprotectin > 100 ug/g) occur, frequency of adalimumab treatment will be increased to once a week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with a Rutgeerts score ≥ i2

    The primary endpoint will be measured by ileocolonoscopy under general anesthesia after standard preparation by PEG with video recording of the examination, carried out by one of the investigators of the study in each center. An ileocolonoscopy 6 months after intestinal resection remains the reference examination for the endoscopic diagnosis of recurrence according to the endoscopic Rutgeerts score (endoscopic recurrence if Rutgeerts score ≥ i2) and allows the adaptation or the introduction of a treatment to limit clinical recurrence at 18 months.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of patients with clinical recurrence

    Evaluation of the clinical recurrence after surgery . Evaluation based on the CDAI. (clinical recurrence if CDAI ≥ 220 and ≥70 points increase from baseline CDAI), CRP (> 10mg/L) and fecal calprotectin (> 100μg/ g).

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  2. Percentage of patients with biological recurrence

    Biological recurrence will be evaluated based on CRP and fecal calprotectin:

    CRP: 10 mg / L threshold to define a biological recurrence. Fecal Calprotectin: 100 μg / g threshold to define a biological recurrence

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  3. Percentage of patients with adverse effects

    The practitioner will assess (through a questionnaire) the presence or absence : of joint pain, allergic reactions, autoimmune reaction, complications at the puncture wound, infections, hospitalization .

    Measured: 3 and 6 months

  4. Rate of adalimumab in the serum

    Adalimumab levels (in μg/mL) will be measured on a blood sample

    Measured: 1, 3, and 6 months

  5. Rate of anti-adalimumab antibodies in the serum

    Anti-adalimumab antibodies (ng/mL) will be measured on a blood sample only in cases of undetectable adalimumabemia (Elisa Drug-sensitive technique)

    Measured: 1, 3, and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immunomonitoring-based follow-up and Standard follow-up in people with Crohn 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 14 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2025. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The recruitment of participants was no longer sufficient to continue the study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percentage of patients with a Rutgeerts score ≥ i2 (time frame: 6 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 21 Jan 2025.
