Brief Summary:
This study is designed to evaluate the performance of VCE in the assessment of mucosal inflammation 6 months after the first VCE procedure

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Known Crohn Disease Subjects Device: Capsule endoscopy and Ileocolonoscopy tests Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective, multi-center (up to 15 sites) study which aims to assess the ability of VCE (Video capsule endoscopy) to detect change in the severity of the small bowel mucosal disease activity in CD subjects after 6 months .

Up to 75 subjects will participate in this study. An interim analysis will be done after study completion with 20 subjects. All subjects to be enrolled in this study will be pediatric and\or adult subjects with known Crohn's disease

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mucosal Change in VCE (Video Capsule Endoscopy) Mucosal Scores and PGA (Physician Global Assessment) [ Time Frame: 6 months changefrom Baseline ]
    To correlate the mucosal change in VCE mucosal score (Lewis score and CECDEIS( Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index)) with change in Physician Global Assessment of CD activity 6 months after the first VCE procedure; PGA scale: 0-Normal, 1-Mild disease, 2- Moderate Disease, 3-Severe Disease Lewis Score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0- unlimited) remission <135 CECDEIS score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0-44) , no "normal range" Studies discuss a drop in the number as indicating healing but not a specific cutoff


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Correlation Between SES CD (Simple Endoscopic Score for Chron's Disease) Score and Capsule Scoring Indexes [ Time Frame: Baseline ]

    Evaluate the correlation between SES CD score and capsule scoring indexes (Lewis and CECDEIS) in the TI (Terminal Ileum) at baseline.

    SES CD score scale 0-12, Higher score=higher disease severity Lewis Score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0- unlimited) remission <135 CECDEIS score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0-44) , no "normal range" Studies discuss a drop in the number as indicating healing but not a specific


  2. Correlation Between the Change in SES CD Score and the Change in Capsule Scoring Indexes- in Terminal Ileum [ Time Frame: 6 months change from Baseline ]
    Evaluate the correlation between the change in SES CD score and the change in capsule scoring indexes (Lewis and CECDEIS) in the TI after 6 months SES CD score scale 0-12, Higher score=higher disease severity Lewis Score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0- unlimited) remission <135 CECDEIS score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0-44) , no "normal range" Studies discuss a drop in the number as indicating healing but not a specific cutoff

  3. Evaluate the Entire SB CE Scores [ Time Frame: 6 months change from Baseline ]

    Evaluate the entire SB CE Scores (Lewis & CECDEIS) change as compared to the change at TI in CE Scores (Lewis & CECDEIS).

    Lewis Score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0- unlimited) remission <135 CECDEIS score scale: continuance scale variable, higher score higher disease severity (0-44) , no "normal range" Studies discuss a drop in the number as indicating healing but not a specific


  4. Adverse Events (AE) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    To assess safety related to capsule retention and other adverse events
