Brief Summary

This prospective, interventional study aims this to determine the efficacy and safety of a PCE-based treat-to-target strategy in order to achieve Mucosal Healing (MH) and deep remission (DR) of pediatric Crohn's Disease (CD) over 52 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Monitoring mucosal healing

    -The ability of PCE to assess mucosal healing rate (percentage of patients with healing of the mucosa) at three time points and to guide a treat-to-target strategy was the primary outcome sought. and colonic CD

    52 weeks

  • Monitoring deep remission

    -The ability of PCE to assess deep remission rate (percentage of patients with healing of the mucosa and absence of symptoms) at three time points and to guide a treat-to-target strategy was the primary outcome sought. and colonic CD

    52 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Treat to Target

    52 weeks

  • Diagnostic Yield

    52 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Pan-enteric capsule endoscopy (PCE)

EXPERIMENTAL

Evidence of active disease by PCE prompted a change in therapy at the discretion of the treating clinician and according to current available pediatric guidelines. The definition of medical treatment adjustment after evidence of inflammation was: the introduction of steroids or enteral nutrition, the introduction or optimization of immunosuppressives; the introduction, optimization of biologics; or the introduction of both immunosuppressive agents and biologics. In case of a negative PCE and presence of symptoms, the magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) could help in guiding therapeutic decisions.

Device: Pan-enteric Capsule Endoscopy (PCE)

Interventions

Second generation of colon capsule endoscopy (Medtronic)

Pan-enteric capsule endoscopy (PCE)

Eligibility Criteria

Age6 Years - 18 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • diagnosis of Crohn's Disease made at least 3 months before the enrolment;
  • subject was referred for endoscopic and imaging follow-up in Crohn's Disease
  • signed informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has dysphagia
  • Subject has renal insufficiency
  • Subject is known structuring Crohn's Disease identified by magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) or small intestine contrast ultrasonography (SICUS).
  • Subject has had prior abdominal surgery of the gastrointestinal tract other than uncomplicated procedures that would be unlikely to lead to bowel obstruction based on the magnetic resonance enterography findings and clinical judgment of the investigator.
