NCT04940611

Brief Summary

In this study, participants with complex fistulizing conditions will be treated with surgical interventions according to their clinic's standard practice. The aim of the study is to generate real-world evidence on standard of care for surgical interventions and related outcomes when treating complex fistulizing conditions. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants who Achieve Clinical Remission of Fistula

    Clinical remission for Complex perianal fistula in Crohn's Disease (CPF-CD) and Complex Cryptoglandular Fistula (CCF) is defined as closure of all index treated external fistula openings that were draining at baseline as assessed clinically despite gentle finger compression. Clinical remission for Rectovaginal fistula with Crohn's Disease (CD-RVF) is defined as epithelization of the index external fistula opening (vaginal opening) compared to baseline.

    Baseline up to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Percentage of Participants With Post-surgical Complications

    Baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-index surgery

  • Percentage of Participants who Achieve Combined Remission

    Baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-index surgery

  • Percentage of Participants who Achieve Cessation of Drainage in Treated Fistula

    Baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-index surgery

  • Percentage of Participants With Relapse of Fistula in Clinical Remission

    Baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-index surgery

  • Percentage of Participants With New Perianal Abscess

    Baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-index surgery

Study Arms (3)

Participants With CPF-CD

Participants diagnosed with CPF-CD will undergo surgical intervention according to their clinic's standard practice to treat the index fistula, and will be observed prospectively for 24 months post-index surgery.

Participants With CD-RVF

Participants diagnosed with CD-RVF will undergo surgical intervention according to their clinic's standard practice to treat the index fistula, and will be observed prospectively for 24 months post-index surgery.

Participants With CCF

Participants diagnosed with CCF will undergo surgical intervention according to their clinic's standard practice to treat the index fistula, and will be observed prospectively for 24 months post-index surgery.
