1 Gayle Scott, Research Nurse. WGH Edinburgh. Randomised controlled trial of 6- Mercaptopurine versus placebo to prevent recurrence of Crohn s disease following surgical resection. Lead Site: Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. Chief Investigator: Professor Jack Satsangi Investigators: Dr Ian Arnott, Professor Malcolm Dunlop, Mr David Bartolo and Ms Mhairi Collie. 1
2 The Problem Crohn s disease is incurable. 80% of patients with Crohn s disease will require intestinal resection. Recurrence is common: 20-25% need second op at 5 years No clear evidence that surgical technique or medical therapy reduces recurrence. Background In August 2006 the Medical Research Council awarded TOPPIC a 1.9m grant Aug 06 May 07 Ethics, MHRA and R&D approvals Recruitment of key personnel Drug and placebo sourced (not funded by MRC) Packaging and distribution arranged Trial Steering Committee and Data Monitoring Committee established E-CRF developed 2
3 Does 6-MP prevent or delay post-operative recurrence of Crohn s Disease? We now plan to recruit 234 patients across the UK. Recruitment phase 3 years, with follow-up for 3 years This is the first truly double blind placebo controlled trial of a thiopurine in post operative Crohn s disease Primary Outcome/Endpoint Clinical recurrence of Crohn s disease (defined by a CDAI value of greater than 150 together with a 100 point rise in the CDAI score from baseline) together with the need for anti-inflammatory rescue therapy or primary surgical intervention 3
4 Secondary Objectives 1. Does 6MP prevent or delay endoscopic evidence of recurrence? 2. Can faecal calprotectin be used as a noninvasive marker of disease recurrence? 3. Do drug metabolite levels relate to clinical efficacy of 6MP? 4. Can we predict postoperative recurrence using clinical, genetic or serological data? Recruitment Recruitment began in 5 centres (Edinburgh, Glasgow x2, Aberdeen, Dundee) in May 2008 The ability to recruit 234 patients was based on pathology reports from recruiting centres Assumed only 60% of eligible patients participated Recruitment so far has been disappointing 67 randomised patients 19 patients in screening phase Actually 30% of eligible patients participated 4
5 Why is Recruitment Slow? Potential explanations include Therapies are changing? Patients wary of placebo? Incomplete ascertainment? 5
6 URGENT Study now being driven by Steering Group/MRC therefore need for urgent improvement in recruitment figures More money, more sites more time? 6
