Using Cellvizio to assess surgical margins in Crohn's disease

Official title: Is There a Concordance Between the Cellvizio With an Intravenous Injection of Fluorescein and the Pathology to Determine the Microscopic Inflammation at the Ileal Resection Margins in Crohn's Ileal Disease

Run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · NCT05805020 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a special imaging tool called Cellvizio can help surgeons see hidden inflammation during surgery for Crohn's disease, so they can make better decisions about how much tissue to remove and reduce the chances of problems later on.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients requiring ileocaecal resection for Crohn's disease, regardless of the disease phenotype.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 18 years old, pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with specific contraindications will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Cellvizio, a technology that allows for real-time imaging during surgery, to assess the microscopic inflammation at resection margins in patients undergoing ileocaecal resection for Crohn's disease. The goal is to determine if this imaging can help surgeons make more informed decisions about the extent of resection needed to minimize the risk of postoperative recurrence. By identifying inflammation that may not be visible to the naked eye, the study aims to improve surgical outcomes for patients with Crohn's disease.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the risk of recurrence in Crohn's disease patients after surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of real-time imaging in surgical settings is gaining interest, this specific application in Crohn's disease resection margins is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
