Evaluation of Digestive Damage and Associated Predictive Factors in Crohn's Disease 5 to 10 Years After Diagnosis (DESTIN)

The primary objective is to evaluate digestive damage in CD 5 to 10 years after diagnosis in the GETAID centers included in the RAPID study. Secondary objective is to identify predictive factors of the evolution digestive damage.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the bowel that is characterized by periods of clinical remission alternating with periods of recurrence. Persistent inflammation is believed to lead to progressive bowel damage that, over time, will manifest in the development of strictures, fistulae, and abscesses. The recent development of the Lemann index allows us to precisely assess digestive damage in CD. The aim of the present study is to evaluate digestive damage and associated predictive factors in CD 5 to 10 years after diagnosis.

Methods: Prospective, multicenter, international, transversal, observational study. Patients who completed the RAPID trial (evaluating the benefits on the course of CD of an early prescription of azathioprine compared with conventional step-care therapy) will be eligible. Digestive damage will be assessed using methods described in the Lemann index protocol, dependent on CD location (abdominal MRI obligatory). The total duration of study participation for 1patient will be ≤4 months.

Aims: The primary objective is to evaluate digestive damage in CD 5 to 10 years after diagnosis in the GETAID centers included in the RAPID study. Secondary objective is to identify predictive factors of the evolution digestive damage.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Evaluation group

Digestive damage will be assessed on patients by using the methods described in the Lemann index protocol, dependant of Crohn's disease locations.

All patients will have clinical examination and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging analyses. Upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging analyses will be performed according to disease locations :

  • Upper tract location : upper endoscopy
  • Colorectal location : colonoscopy
  • Perianal location : pelvic MRI
  • All patients : abdominal MRI
Abdominal MRI to realize within 4 months following inclusion
Upper endoscopy to realize within 4 months following inclusion
Colonoscopy to realize within 4 months following inclusion
Pelvic MRI to realize within 4 months following inclusion
