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

Summary

This study tests whether removing a larger portion of the mesentery (the tissue that connects the intestine to the abdominal wall) during surgery for Crohn's disease can reduce the chance of the disease coming back. 204 adults with Crohn's disease limited to the ileocecal area will be randomly assigned to standard or extended surgery. The main goal is to see if there are fewer signs of recurrence one year after the operation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
surgical procedure (extended mesenteric resection)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a surgical technique that lowers the chance of Crohn's disease coming back after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 204 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery itself carries standard risks like infection or bleeding.

Participants

About 204 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
