In Crohn's disease (CD), bacterial translocation could increase the disproportionate inflammatory response already present and contribute to disease progression by stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and immune-cell infiltration in the mesentery. Several mechanisms may promote bacterial translocation, such as bacterial overgrowth, disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier and alterations in the immune system.\n\nIleocecal surgical resection is required in some patients with complicated or refractory CD. Unfortunately, post-surgical disease recurrence happens in up to 40% of cases, probably defining a subgroup of CD patients with a particular aggressive form of the disease. The complete microbiome (in gastrointestinal and extraintestinal sites) in CD patients that develop early post-surgical recurrence, as well as the association to innate immunity alterations, has not yet been studied.\n\nThe primary aim of the study is to explore the bacterial microbiome of CD patients and its association with early post-surgical recurrence and clinical or genetic variables related to innate immunity. To achieve this, the bacterial DNA present in mesenteric fat and ileal tissue (inflamed and non-inflamed) from surgical resection samples as well as blood samples from CD patients will be studied. Genetic polymorphisms, relevant clinical data and disease recurrence will also be evaluated.\n\nThe investigators hypothesize that bacterial translocation to the mesentery fat near the inflamed intestine is one of the mechanisms for perpetuation and chronicity of inflammation and therefore post-surgical recurrence in CD. The investigators expect to find a distinctive bacterial profile (in quantity and quality) in the mesenteric fat of patients with early post-surgical recurrence and/or with genetic variants that cause alterations in innate immunity.\n\nThe study of the microbiome in CD could help to identify the patients with a more aggressive disease form that will probably present early post-surgical recurrence, and could raise the possibility of microbial modulation as therapy for CD."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients from the Hospital Universitari MĂștuaTerrassa', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults (18 years or older)\n* Informed consent signed\n* To require an ileocecal resection as part of the treatment of Crohn's Disease\n* In the case of controls: not having Inflammatory Bowel Disease and requiring an ileocecal resection for another reason\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* To require an ileocecal resection with definitive or transient ileostomy\n* In the case of controls: existence of a family history of Inflammatory Bowel Disease."}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05891756', 'acronym': 'MESENCROHN', 'briefTitle': "Mesenteric Bacterial Translocation in Evolved Crohn's Disease", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Hospital Mutua de Terrassa'}, 'officialTitle': "Mesenteric Bacterial Translocation in Evolved Crohn's Disease", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'MESENCROHN'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'CD patients requiring surgical treatment (ileocecal resection)'}, {'label': 'Control group', 'description': 'Patients requiring an ileocecal resection for a cause other than CD'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '08221', 'city': 'Terrassa', 'state': 'Barcelona', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Spain', 'facility': 'Hospital Universitari MĂștuaTerrassa', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 41.56667, 'lon': 2.01667}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Yamile Zabana, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'yzabana@gmail.com'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Hospital Mutua de Terrassa', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
