Crohn's Disease |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study for children with a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease is to
identify biomarkers found in the blood or stool to help predict which children are at risk
of developing complications.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
It is estimated that between 15-20% of children with Crohn's disease will develop
complications that can require surgery within the first three years of diagnosis. The
purpose of this study for children with a new diagnosis of Crohn's disease is to identify
biomarkers found in the blood or stool to help predict which children are at risk of
developing complications.
A total of 2000 children with newly-diagnosed Crohn's disease will be enrolled within 30
days of diagnosis. Up to 28 medical sites in the United States and Canada will participate
in the study.

criteria. The enrollment should occur within 30 days of diagnosis.
- Able to provide written informed consent or the ability to obtain written informed
