Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events, especially during active inflammatory bowel disease. Currently, there are not studies examining the underlying causes of this risk.

The study aims to assess abnormalities in the heart of patients with inflammatory bowel disease using a cardiovascular MRI scan (CMR-imaging).

Who can participate?
Patients who are 18 years or older, with a confirmed IBD diagnosis, who are able to provide informed consent, are not pregnant and are able to undergo CMR-imaging.

What does the study involve?
Participants will undergo a first CMR-imaging. Patients with signs of active inflammation will receive a second CMR scan after 5 weeks. A clinical follow-up is obtained 1 year after the first CMR scan.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
In order to achieve study aims, the study team will characterise the tissue of the heart (obtained non-invasively) and therefore potentially identify patients at risk for adverse cardiovascular events. The risks of participating in this study are the usual risks associated with CMR-imaging and participants are not exposed to further risks.

Where is the study run from?
Helios Clinics Berlin Buch (Germany)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From April 2021 to April 2023

Who is funding the study?
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Germany)

Study acronymCAMAID-CMR
Study objectivesA significantly higher degree of diffuse or focal fibrosis, assessed by CMR, can be found in patients with inflammatory bowel disease compared to an age and sex-matched healthy control group, despite preserved LV-EF
Ethics approval(s)Approved 08/10/2020, Charité Ethics Board Berlin (Campus Charité Mitte (CCM), Chariteplatz 1, 10117 Berlin, German; +49 (0)30/450-517222; ethikkommission@charite.de), ref: EA1/198/20
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPatients with inflammatory bowel disease in acute and chronic stage
InterventionParticipants are categorized into acute or chronic stage based on IBD activity scores (Crohn's Disease Activity Index and Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index). Each participant receives a CMR scan including LV and RV function, T1- and T2-Mapping, and fat and fibrosis assessments. Patients with signs of active inflammation will receive a second CMR scan after 5 weeks. A clinical follow-up is obtained 1 year after the first CMR scan.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureDiffuse or focal fibrosis measured using T1-Mapping, ECV, and late gadolinium enhancement MRI scans at baseline, 5 weeks, and 1 year
Secondary outcome measures1. Ventricular function measured using MRI cine imaging at baseline, 5 weeks, and 1 year
2. Edema quantification using T2-Mapping MRI scans at baseline, 5 weeks, and 1 year
3. Extracellular volume quantification using T1-Mapping post-contrast agent application MRI scans at baseline, 5 weeks, and 1 year
