入选标准

  • 1. The study group will include patients aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of Crohn?s disease for at least three months defined by histology or radiology
  • 2. Patients must have moderately active disease as defined by a Crohns disease activity index (CDAI) between 250 and 450 at the baseline visit
  • 3. Only patients with a C-reactive protein (CRP) elevated to above the upper limit of normal of the local laboratory will be included
  • 4. Patients must be on stable Crohn?s disease therapy with a total steroid dose not exceeding 10 mg prednisolone or equivalent
  • 5. Patients currently taking maintenance oral 5-aminosalicylic acid therapy must have been on a stable dose for four weeks prior to study entry, and will be maintained at the same dose for the six-week duration of the study
  • 6. No rectally administered medications (steroid or 5-aminosalicylic acid [5ASA]) are allowed for the two weeks preceding baseline and throughout the study
  • 7. Patients on a stable dose of oral steroids (not exceeding 10 mg prednisolone or equivalent) for four weeks prior to baseline are permitted to enter the study, and will remain on that dose throughout the study
  • 8. Patients taking azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine must have been maintained on a stable dose for at least 16 weeks prior to entry and will continue at that dose throughout the study
  • 9. No antibiotics, probiotics or prebiotics (other than the study prebiotic) will be used during the study or for the preceding month
  • 10. Food frequency questionnaires will be used to assess the consumption of foods that naturally contain prebiotics, although levels within a normal western diet are usually insufficient to affect the composition of the intestinal microbiota
  • 11. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will not be permitted for one week before and throughout the six-week study period
