NCT ID NCT06257706

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether treating Crohn's disease with a goal of healing the entire gut wall (seen on ultrasound) leads to better results than treating based on symptoms and blood tests alone. About 304 adults with moderate to severe Crohn's will be split into two groups and followed for 48 weeks. The aim is to see if the ultrasound-guided approach helps more people achieve remission without steroids.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive, at the time of consent; 2. Moderately to severely active CD at baseline defined by a CDAI score of 220 to 450 inclusive and SES-CD, excluding the presence of narrowing component, ≥6 (or ≥4 for participants with isolated ileal disease); 3. BWT on IUS of \>4.0 mm in the terminal ileum or any colonic segment (excluding the rectum) as assessed by the mean of 2 longitudinal and 2 cross-sectional measurements of the same segment; 4. Biologic-naïve or have previous exposure (within the last 5 years of the screening date) to no more than 1 advanced therapeutic compound (approved biologic or small molecule drug) for the treatment of their CD. Note: only approximately 15% to 30% of the enrolled population will have had prior exposure to an advanced therapeutic; 5. Participants may continue stable dose (initiated at least 4 weeks prior to Screening) of 5-ASA for CD; 6. Persons of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to randomization and must use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study. Females unable to bear children must have documentation of such in the source records; 7. Able to participate fully in all aspects of this clinical trial; 8. Written informed consent must be obtained and documented. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current or previous treatment with vedolizumab, etrolizumab, or natalizumab; 2. Previously exposed to 2 or more compounds or classes of an advanced therapeutic compound (approved biologic or small molecule drug) for the treatment of their CD; 3. Change to oral corticosteroid therapy dosing within 2 weeks prior to randomization or a corticosteroid dose of \>40 mg of prednisone or equivalent at randomization; 4. Only have inflammation proximal to the terminal ileum that cannot be reached by ileocolonoscopy; 5. Have a CD complication, such as symptomatic strictures in the small bowel with \>3 cm prestenotic dilatation on any imaging modality, requiring procedural intervention; 6. Previous extensive colonic resection or missing \>2 segments out of 5 (terminal ileum, right colon, transverse colon, sigmoid and left colon, and rectum), ileorectal anastomosis, or a proctocolectomy; 7. Ostomy or ileoanal pouch; 8. Short bowel syndrome; 9. Fibrotic-only stricture in the ileum or colon without evidence of active inflammation (in the investigator's judgment), including any impassable stenosis; 10. Abscess \>2 cm, detected by IUS or endoscopy; participants with draining fistulas are not excluded; 11. Serious underlying disease other than CD that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the participant's ability to participate fully in the study or would compromise participant safety; 12. Positive stool test for Clostridioides difficile infection (as demonstrated by positive toxin); 13. Known HIV or hepatitis B or C infection. If a negative test result is available in the 12 months prior to randomization, retesting is not required; 14. Known active or latent tuberculosis (TB); if a negative test result is available in the 12 months prior to randomization, confirmatory testing (per standard of care) is not required before randomization; 15. Other systemic or opportunistic infection (including cytomegalovirus), any other clinically significant extraintestinal infection, or recurring infection within 6 months of randomization; 16. Has active cerebral/meningeal disease, signs, symptoms, or any history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) prior to randomization; 17. Hypersensitivity, allergy, or intolerance to any excipient of vedolizumab or any other contraindication to vedolizumab; 18. Active severe infection such as sepsis, cytomegalovirus, listeriosis, or opportunistic infection. 19. Unwillingness to withhold protocol-prohibited medications during the trial; 20. Concurrent or previous participation in another clinical trial and received any investigational therapy within 30 days prior to randomization; 21. History of alcohol or drug abuse that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with the study procedures; 22. Prior enrolment in the current study and had received study treatment; 23. Pregnant, lactating, or intending to become pregnant/impregnate a partner before, during, or within 18 weeks after the last dose; or intending to donate ova or sperm during such time period; 24. Vaccination with a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or planned vaccination with a live or live-attenuated vaccine during participation in the study; 25. Any person performing mandatory military service, deprived of liberty, in a residential care setting, or any person who, due to a judicial decision, cannot take part in clinical studies; 26. The person is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependent relationship with a study site employee who is involved in conduct of this study (e.g., spouse, parent, child, sibling).
