Registered outcomes5

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryDaily Number of Loose StoolsBaseline to 12 weeksDaily number of loose stools will be collected directly from all subjects using MyCap.
SecondaryCrohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) ScoreBaseline to 12 weeks
The Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) combines weighted scores of clinical and laboratory variables to estimate disease severity. The CDAI consists of eight variables, two of which are subjective, related to the disease, each weighted according to its ability to be predictive of disease activity. The absolute score ranges from 0 to 600. CDAI scores of less than 150 indicate a clinical remission and scores over 450 indicate severely active disease. Since blood draws will not be performed as part of this study, the hematocrit component of the CDAI will not be assessed.
SecondaryHarvey Bradshaw Index (HBI) ScoreBaseline to Week 12
The Harvey-Bradshaw index (Harvey-Bradshaw Index - HBI) assesses the degree of illness (activity) in patients with Crohn's disease. The HBI consists of 5 items with a minimum score of 0 and a maximum attainable score depending on the number of stools the patient identifies per day. HBI scores \< 5 are defined as clinical remission, HBI between 5 and 7 as mild disease, HBI between 8 and 16 as moderate disease, and HBI \> 16 as severe disease.
SecondaryShort Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) ScoreBaseline to 12 weeks
The SIBDQ is a 10-item questionnaire measuring quality of life in four domains: bowel symptoms, emotional health, systemic symptoms, and social function and is scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 (severe problem) to 7 (no problems at all). The absolute score ranges are from 10 (poor Health-related quality of life) to 70 (optimum Health-related quality of life).
SecondaryPatient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) ScoreBaseline to week 12
The PHQ-9 is a 9-item questionnaire that screens for the presence and severity of depression and can be used to make a depression diagnosis using DSM-IV criteria. The PHQ-9 is scored on a 3-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The absolute score ranges are from 0 (none or minimal depression) to 27 (severe depression).
