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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study compares quality of life in adults with Crohn's disease during a flare when treated either with standard care or an adapted Crohn's disease exclusion diet plus partial enteral nutrition. The diet limits certain foods and uses a nutritional drink (Modulen) to help control inflammation. Researchers will track symptoms and well-being over 48 weeks to see if the diet approach offers better outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
adapted Crohn's disease exclusion diet with partial enteral nutrition (Modulen)
What this could lead to
If successful, this diet-based approach could offer a well-tolerated, drug-sparing option to manage Crohn's flares and improve quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 2 trial (52 participants), so results may not apply broadly. The diet is demanding, and adherence may be challenging.
