CDPATH™ Management Tool for Crohn's Disease
(COMPASS-CD Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test a tool called CDPATH™ to help predict complications in people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to use this tool to assess a participant's risk and facilitate discussions with their doctor about managing their condition over time. The trial seeks participants diagnosed with Crohn's disease within the past five years who have not experienced major complications. Participants should be comfortable using the internet to complete health surveys. As a Phase 4 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the already FDA-approved tool benefits more patients, offering participants a chance to contribute to broader insights on managing Crohn's disease.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, you can continue using approved medications for Crohn's disease.
What is the safety track record for CDPATH™?
Research shows that CDPATH™ predicts the risk of developing complications from Crohn's disease. Studies have confirmed its effectiveness in assessing individual risk. As a Phase 4 study, CDPATH™ has undergone earlier trials, which indicate it is generally safe for use. No reports of negative effects have emerged from using the CDPATH™ tool itself, as it primarily involves analyzing blood samples and providing risk assessments. Participants can therefore expect the tool to be well-tolerated.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the CDPATH™ management tool for Crohn's Disease because it offers a personalized approach to managing the condition. Unlike traditional treatments that focus primarily on managing symptoms through medications like biologics or corticosteroids, CDPATH™ uses a predictive tool to assess the risk of disease complications. This tool relies on clinical data and specific blood biomarkers, allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans more effectively. By potentially identifying risks earlier, CDPATH™ aims to improve long-term outcomes for patients with Crohn's Disease.
What evidence suggests that the CDPATH™ tool is effective for managing Crohn's disease?
Research shows that CDPATH™ helps predict the risk of complications from Crohn's disease using blood tests and a special formula. Studies have demonstrated that this tool provides personalized results, aiding patients and doctors in understanding potential future health issues. It evaluates a person's risk of developing complications related to Crohn's disease over three years. Although not a treatment, it aids decision-making by offering valuable insights into disease progression. By knowing their risk, patients can engage in more informed conversations with healthcare providers about managing their condition. Participants in this trial will use the CDPATH™ tool, with clinical data collected through an ongoing registry.12356

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults diagnosed with Crohn's Disease within the last five years, who have internet access to complete electronic surveys. Participants must not have had non-Crohn's abdominal surgery or used CDPATH™ before, and should not have severe complications from Crohn's like bowel strictures or abscesses.Inclusion Criteria
