Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Subject's global assessment (SGA) [ Time Frame: at week 4 after randomization on period I (cross over) and at week 4 after wash-out period II (cross over) ] Subjective global assessment of relief responder rate. SGA is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = completely relieve and 5= being worse). Patients with an SGA of relief score from 1 to 3 is considered as responder.

Brief Summary | Crohn's disease is a chronic and complex inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. While its exact cause is unclear, it involves genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Crohn's disease can lead to nutrient deficiencies and has unpredictable flare-ups and remission periods. During the remission phases, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms can persist in 50% of patients, for which no satisfactory treatment is available yet. Chitin-glucan is prebiotic, obtained by extraction, isolation and purification from a fungal resource: the mycelium of Aspergillus niger (a microscopic fungus of the Ascomycetes family) of which it composes the cell walls. The biopolymer consists essentially of two types of polysaccharide chains: chitin (poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) and beta-(1,3)-D-glucan (D-glucose units linked essentially via beta-1,3 bonds). Because of its beta bond, human intestinal enzymes cannot digest it, as a result, the majority of chitin-glucan can reach the colon where it can be fermented by the microbiota. By modulating the composition and/or activity of the intestinal microbiota, fermentation of chitin-glucan could have beneficial effects on health. The aim of the RELIEVE study is to assess if BK003 could improve the relief of global symptoms, individual symptoms, stool consistency and frequency of evacuations, quality of life, anxiety, and depression in patients with Crohn's disease in remission without treatment or with stable maintenance therapy and having IBS-like symptoms and to confirm the product's safety. |

Study Design ICMJE | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Intervention Model Description: This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicentre, crossover study of BK003 in adult patients with Crohn's disease in remission without treatment or with stable maintenance therapy and having IBS-like symptoms. Patients will be recruited in the university hospitals of Liège (Belgium) and Lille (France). The recruitment period will last 1 year. This study will consist of a 2 to 3-week run-in period. Then, patients will take either placebo or BK003 for 4 weeks, stop for 2 to 3 weeks (washout) and then switch products for 4 additional weeks. Patients will undergo 5 visits: V0 (screening visit), V1 (randomization visit, 2 to 3 weeks ± 4 days after V0), V2 (washout, 4 weeks ± 4 days after V1), V3 (crossover, 18 days ± 3 days after V2) and V4 (end of study visit, 4 weeks ± 4 days after V3). Masking Description: At V1, all enrolled patients will be randomly allocated to either BK003 or placebo using computerised block-randomisation with a 1:1 ratio. The randomisation list has been generated before study product packaging and each product has a number which will be consecutively allocated to patients in the eCRF. Primary Purpose: Other
