Diet and TNF-blocker combo for Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special diet (CDED) combined with anti-TNF medication (infliximab or adalimumab) to see if it's safe and works better for active Crohn's disease. It may help if you haven't used these drugs before and can follow the diet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older.

This trial compares a steroid called prednisolone to a special diet (aCDED with PEN) for treating Crohn's disease flare-ups. It aims to see which approach helps improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether a special diet (called an exclusion diet) plus a nutritional supplement can change your gut bacteria and help control active Crohn's disease. It may be a good option if you have mild-to-moderate symptoms and want to try a food-based approach before stronger medications.
This study tests whether starting adalimumab along with partial enteral (tube or drink) nutrition helps control active Crohn’s disease. It may help reduce symptoms and inflammation compared with standard care alone.
This study tests whether combining a specific diet with biologic medicines can reduce active inflammation and symptoms of Crohn’s disease. It may help people who still have active disease in the bowel despite prior care.
This trial studies a combination of immune-suppressing treatments for children with Crohn’s disease that is not well controlled. It may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms if you meet the study’s disease-activity and safety requirements.
This study looks at how changing your diet might help people with Crohn's disease feel better. It is for adults with mild to moderate Crohn's who are not using a liquid-only diet and have not had recent surgery.
