About this study

Official title: Extended Mesenteric Excision in Ileocolic Resections for Crohn's Disease: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

The study is looking at the role of the mesentery in disease recurrence for ileocolic Crohn's disease. It is a prospective study that has been designed to perform extended mesenteric excision on patients undergoing their first ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease. Endoscopic recurrence will be monitored with the hypothesis that patients receiving extended mesenteric ileocolic resection will have reduced endoscopic recurrence at 6 months after resection.

(limited mesenteric resection).

Read the detailed description

The current standard of care for ileocolic Crohn's disease (CD) is a limited mesenteric resection. There is growing, but still limited, evidence that extended mesenteric excision during ileocolic resection is beneficial in decreasing disease recurrence. We propose a prospective multicenter cohort study to better understand the role of extended mesenteric excision in ileocolic CD and how it affects disease recurrence. The primary outcome of this study will be the rate of endoscopic recurrence at 6 months in patients undergoing first-time resection for ileocolic CD. Secondary outcomes will include endoscopic recurrence at 18 months and rates of recurrence requiring surgery by 2 years. These outcomes will be compared to historical controls (limited mesenteric resection). Our hypothesis is that patients receiving extended mesenteric ileocolic resection will have reduced endoscopic recurrence at 6 months after resection. As seen in previous studies, advanced mesenteric and mucosal disease predicts increased surgical recurrence.

What participants receive

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

  • Extensive mesentery resectionProcedure or surgery

    Surgeons will perform a high ligation of the ileocolic pedicle, between the superior mesenteric artery and the bifurcation of the ileal and right colic branches, and to fully mobilize the mesentery off of the retroperitoneum prior to bowel transection and anastomosis

Study groups in NCT04266600
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prospective arm (extended mesenteric resection)ExperimentalSurgery can be performed either laparoscopically or open depending on surgeon preference and the circumstances of the surgery. Surgeons will perform a high ligation of the ileocolic pedicle, between the superior mesenteric artery and the bifurcation of the ileal and right colic branches, and to fully mobilize the mesentery off of the retroperitoneum prior to bowel transection and anastomosis. The entire mesentery related to the specimen will be removed. Outcomes in the prospective arm will be compared to historical controls.
Receives: Procedure: Extensive mesentery resection
Retrospective armNo interventionRetrospective patient data will be obtained by querying the Opera operating room database of both study institutions. Electronic records will be analyzed for all patients undergoing a first-time ileocolic resection for Crohn's Disease between January 1, 2009 - December 31, 2018.

What is being measured

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

  1. Endoscopic recurrence at 6 months

    Endoscopic recurrence after extended mesenteric ileocolic resection

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Endoscopic recurrence at 18 months

    Endoscopic recurrence will be evaluated by the endoscopist and will be evaluated according to the Rutgeert's score

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Rates of recurrence requiring surgery by 2 years

    Surgical recurrence after extended mesenteric ileocolic resection

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Post-operative complications

    Post-operative complications including: wound infections, anastomotic leak, intra-abdominal abscess, venous-thromboembolic complications, and primary ileus within 30 days of the first resection.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Extensive mesentery resection in people with Crohn Disease and Recurrence, run by Jewish General Hospital at 2 sites in Canada.

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 1 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 19 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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 Marylise Boutros, MD (514-340-8222 ext. 26821, marylise.boutros@mcgill.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Endoscopic recurrence at 6 months (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 19 May 2021.
