Study summary

This will be an open label multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of an active implantable VNS device in patients with Crohn's Disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients who complete study SPM-007 will be enrolled in this study at the time of the last visit of the preceding study. The assessments at the last visit of the preceding study will also be used as baseline measures for the current study. If the patient has previously discontinued SPM-007 and greater than 30 days have elapsed since the final visit in SPM-007, baseline measures for the current study will be repeated, and an interim medical history will be taken to assess whether any new medical conditions were diagnosed in the time between studies.

The study will continue until the last patient entered has completed 24 months in this study.

Follow-up visits will occur at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. A final follow-up visit will occur for all remaining patients at study closure when the final enrolled subject has completed 24 months on study.

An Interim Visit must be performed a maximum of 1 month after any change in device settings. Interim visits may also be performed at any time at the principal investigator's discretion; either between scheduled visits, or after the patient has completed the Month 24 Visit, if the study is still ongoing.

Inclusion criteria

Patients must have enrolled in study SPM-007; including patients who either completed that study or withdrew before completion of that study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Inability to provide Significant psychiatric illness or substance abuse

All patients will be excluded who have developed any of these exclusionary conditions during the SMP-007 study, or in the interim between SPM-007 and the Day 0 of SPM-010:

  • History of unilateral or bilateral vagotomy
  • History of recurrent vaso-vagal syncope episodes
  • Known obstructive sleep apnea
  • Known history of cardiac rhythm disturbances, atrio-ventricular block of greater than first degree, or cardiac conduction pathway abnormalities other than isolated right bundle branch block or isolated left anterior fascicle block.
  • Significant pharyngeal dysfunction or swallowing difficulties
  • vocal cord damage or hoarseness
  • Other implanted electrically active medical devices (e.g., cardiac pacemakers, automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators)
  • Asthma or not controlled by medications, or any other disease causing clinically significant dyspnea
  • A greater than or equal to 40 pack-year smoking history
  • Active peptic ulcer disease
  • Patients with a limited due to terminal illness
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 3, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
