Summary

This study looks at whether people with Crohn's disease who are in remission can safely stop taking aminosalicylate (5-ASA) medication without their condition getting worse. About 334 participants will either continue or stop their 5-ASA therapy and be followed for 2 years to see if they develop complications like surgery or hospitalization. The goal is to find out if stopping is as safe as continuing for those whose disease is quiet.
