Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency's Prevalence in Active Crohn's Disease

Study Purpose

This study aims to assess the prevalence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in a population of patients with active Crohn's disease. Studies already describe a prevalence rate around 18-66%. In this multicentric prospective study, we plan to compare EPI's prevalence at week 0 and week 14 of an induction phase of a biological therapy. The biological therapy will be initiate for an active Crohn's disease. Secondary outcomes will be: malnutrition's prevalence, and Crohn's disease activity level.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03915262
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Crohn's Disease

Interventions

Biological: - Search for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency at week 0 and 12

We will collect 24 hours stool to search for steatorrhea, and to measure elastase and calprotectin. We will collect a total of 8 additional blood tubes (25mL), during regular blood sampling for a patient under biological therapy for a Crohn's disease. We will gather the total caloric and fat intake with a diet record.
