Known Crohn Disease Subjects
Conditions
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
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
