Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of capsule endoscopy (CE) versus ileocolonoscopy (IC) plus MRE for detection of active Crohn's disease (CD) in the small bowel in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the accuracy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active CD, by visualizing the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.

There will be assessment of mucosal disease activity at baseline. Patient satisfaction questionnaire will be completed at baseline.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, prospective, study, evaluating the efficacy of CE versus IC plus MRE for detecting active Crohn's Disease (CD) in the small bowel and colon in subjects with known CD and mucosal disease.

A screening visit will be performed within 30 days prior to baseline procedures to assess pre-procedure eligibility. At this visit the following assessments will be performed: Informed Consent, Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria, Demographics, Montreal Classification, Medical History, Previous GI procedures, Surgical history, Laboratory tests and pregnancy tests.

At baseline, subjects with known CD on routine evaluation (e.g. history, physical exams, labs) and a recent history of mucosal disease (within the last 2 years and diagnosis based on radiologic, endoscopic, or histologic findings) OR subjects with known CD and active disease based on clinical judgment based on symptoms, laboratory data or other clinical information will undergo Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE), Capsule Endoscopy (CE) and Ileocolonoscopy (IC), to assess presence or absence of CD across the small and large bowel. Also, at baseline the following assessments will take place: Laboratory tests, Pregnancy test, Concomitant medications, Patient satisfaction questionnaire and Adverse Events (AE).

Subjects will be exited from the study once all Baseline Procedures have been completed and AEs resolved.

All CE videos, IC videos and MRE images will be evaluated by central readers.

The planned number of subjects is 352. Subjects will be enrolled at up to 40 sites in the United States, Israel, and Austria. Study duration is expected to be up to approximately 1.5 years. The expected duration of each subject's participation is approximately 1 month.

  • Subject is willing and able to comply with all aspects of treatment and evaluation schedule.
  • Subject has known CD and a recent history (within last 2 years) of mucosal disease (based on radiologic, endoscopic, or histologic evidence) OR known CD and active disease, based on clinical judgment based on symptoms, laboratory data or other clinical information.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Subject has indeterminate, ulcerative, antibiotic-associated colitis.
  • Subject has stool positive for ova and parasite and for Clostridium difficile toxins within 3 months prior to enrollment.

  • Subject with clinical evidence of renal disease with the past 6 months, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) outside the normal reference range.
  • Subject with known history of intestinal obstruction or current obstructive symptoms, such as severe abdominal pain with accompanying nausea or vomiting, based on investigator judgment.
  • Subject with a diagnosis of gastroparesis or small bowel or large bowel dysmotility.
  • Subject with suspected or known bowel obstruction, stricture (defined as unequivocal proximal upstream dilation equal ≥ 2.5 cm), or fistula.

  • Subject is considered to be a part of a vulnerable population (eg. prisoners or those without sufficient mental capacity).
  • Subject has a known contraindication to MRE or IC.
  • Subject has participated in a drug or device research study within 30 days of enrollment that may interfere with the subject's safety or ability to participate in the study.
  • Subject has any medical condition that would make it unsafe for them to participate, per Investigator's discretion
  • Subject with ileostomy or colostomy, history of total or subtotal colectomy (including those with ileosigmoidostomy, and ileorectostomy)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of CE Versus IC Plus MRE for Detecting Active Crohn's Disease (CD), by Visualizing the Small Bowel and Colon in Subjects With Know CD and Mucosal Disease.Baseline

Central readers will be used to read all videos/images and analyses will be based on these results. A consensus panel will be used if there are discrepancies in results between modalities at baseline. Capsule endoscopy and IC results will be read by gastroenterologists and MRE results will be read by radiologists.

Scores used will be Lewis Score, Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease Index (SES-CD) Score and Magnetic Resonance Index of Activity (MaRIA) Score
