About this study

The disease activity index under intestinal color ultrasound was evaluated by SUS-CD, and the disease activity index under capsule endoscopy was evaluated by CECDAI. All subjects underwent intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy at baseline and at the third month of treatment. To compare the correlation between SUS-CD and CECDAI before and after treatment, and to compare the role of intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy in monitoring Crohn's disease in small intestine.

Read the detailed description

The disease activity index under intestinal color ultrasound was evaluated by SUS-CD, and the disease activity index under capsule endoscopy was evaluated by CECDAI. Active lesions under intestinal color ultrasound were defined as SUS-CD ≥ 1, and active lesions under capsule endoscopy were defined as CECDAI ≥ 3.9. All subjects underwent intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy at baseline and 3 months after treatment. To compare the correlation between SUS-CD and CECDAI before and after treatment, and to compare the role of intestinal color ultrasound and capsule endoscopy in monitoring Crohn's disease in small intestine.

What is being measured

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

  1. the Simple Ultrasound Activity Score for Crohn's Disease (SUS-CD)

    The Simple Ultrasound Score for Crohn's Disease [SUS-CD] is constituted by Bowel wall thickness (BWT) and colour Doppler. BWT:<3 mm gets 0 score, 3 to 4.9 mm gets 1 score, 5 to 7.9 mm gets 2 scores, and intestinal wall thickness of ≥8 mm gets 3scores. Colour Doppler score:No or single vessel gets 0 score, 2-5 vessels per cm2 gets 1 score, >5 vessels per cm2 gets 2 scores.

    Measured: At baseline

  2. the Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index(CECDAI)

    The CECDAI was designed to evaluate three main parameters of Crohn's disease: inflammation (A), extent of disease (B), and stricture (C), in both the proximal and distal segments of the small bowel. The final score was calculated by adding the two segmental scores: CECDAI =([A1×B1] +C1) +([A2×B2] +C2).

    Measured: At baseline

  3. the Simple Ultrasound Activity Score for Crohn's Disease (SUS-CD)

    The Simple Ultrasound Score for Crohn's Disease [SUS-CD] is constituted by Bowel wall thickness (BWT) and colour Doppler. BWT:<3 mm gets 0 score, 3 to 4.9 mm gets 1 score, 5 to 7.9 mm gets 2 scores, and intestinal wall thickness of ≥8 mm gets 3scores. Colour Doppler score:No or single vessel gets 0 score, 2-5 vessels per cm2 gets 1 score, >5 vessels per cm2 gets 2 scores.

    Measured: at the third month of treatment

  4. the Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index(CECDAI)

    The CECDAI was designed to evaluate three main parameters of Crohn's disease: inflammation (A), extent of disease (B), and stricture (C), in both the proximal and distal segments of the small bowel. The final score was calculated by adding the two segmental scores: CECDAI =([A1×B1] +C1) +([A2×B2] +C2).

    Measured: at the third month of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Digestive System Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2022. 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 China. 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 Xinmei Zhao, doctor (13268270713, xmzhao914@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the Simple Ultrasound Activity Score for Crohn's Disease (SUS-CD) (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Dec 2022.
