NCT03185624

Brief Summary

Some studies have shown that rifaximin is effective in the management of Crohn's Disease. Meanwhile, its adverse effect is tolerable. But no study has been conducted to assess its effect on preventing postoperative recurrence. Thus, we conduct a randomised controlled study to assess the effect of rifaximin on preventing postoperative endoscopic recurrence in Crohn's disease. The primary endpoint is the rate of endoscopic recurrence at 6 months.
