Trial summary

Crohn disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. A surgical procedure is required in about 80% of cases. Surgery doesn't cure from Crohn's disease but the type of surgery remains important as there are several intraoperative risk factors for recurrence. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Is There a Concordance Between the Cellvizio With an Intravenous Injection of Fluorescein and the Pathology to Determine the Microscopic Inflammation at the Ileal Resection Margins in Crohn's Ileal Disease

Crohn disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. A surgical procedure is required in about 80% of cases. Surgery doesn't cure from Crohn's disease but the type of surgery remains important as there are several intraoperative risk factors for recurrence. Among these factors the microscopic inflammation at the resection margins. This is a crucial point, if the resection is too large there is a risk of short bowel syndrome, if the resection is too short (microscopic inflammation at resection site), there is a higher risk of postoperative recurrence (75% vs 46% at 18 months). Surgeons have to do a limited resection (2cm from macroscopic crohn disease). However this macroscopic non inflammatory resection margin can be microscopically inflammatory (up to 80%). Thus it is useful to evaluate if there is a microscopic inflammation at the resection margin. Moreover there is an increase interest for the role of the mesentery for recurrence but its role remains unclear. It is of interest to clarify the border between the inflammatory and non-inflammatory mesentery. Cellvizio is a confocal laser endomicroscopy providing the possibility of obtaining in vivo high-magnification images of the gut epithelium. This allows real-time examination of the gastrointestinal mucosa at the cellular and subcellular level. Cellvizio has never been used during surgery for Crohn disease.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the intraoperative use of Cellvizio (using the CelioFlex microsonde) with an intravenous injection of fluorescein to determine the best ileal resection margins in Crohn disease.

What participants receive

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

  • cellvizioProcedure or surgery

    During surgery an intravenous injection of fluorescein will be performed. The surgeon will, then, evaluate the ileal section margins on the mucosa, the serosa and the mesentery to evaluate if the section margin in microscopically inflammatory or not. She/he will then evaluate (in cm) the length between this section margin and the theorical section margin to be on a non-inflammatory tissue on the mucosa, serosa and mesentery. The data will be filled during surgery, blind from the pathological analysis. The pathological analysis will also be blind from the Cellvizio data. A video collection will be performed anonymously.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cellvizio in people with Crohn Disease and Resection Margins, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 5 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 28 May 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?

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 Charles Sabbagh, Pr (03 22 08 88 96, sabbagh.charles@chu-amiens.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

concordance between the Cellvizio pictures and the pathology incidence (time frame: 2 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 28 May 2025.
