Study arms

  • Experimental
    Sequence A→B: Catered Anti-Inflammatory Diet Followed by Diet Guidance Group

    Participants in this group will first receive an 8-week catered anti-inflammatory diet intervention, followed by a 2-week washout period, then an 8-week diet guidance period in which they consume their usual diet with weekly counseling focused on safe food preparation.

  • Experimental
    Sequence B→A: Diet Guidance Followed by Catered Anti-Inflammatory Diet Group

    Participants in this group will first receive an 8-week diet guidance period with weekly counseling while consuming their usual diet, followed by a 2-week washout period, then an 8-week catered anti-inflammatory diet intervention.

Interventions

  • BehavioralCatered Anti-Inflammatory Diet

    Participants will receive a fully catered anti-inflammatory diet for 8 weeks, with meals delivered twice weekly. The diet is designed to provide \>25 g fiber/day, a \<3:1 n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio, and \<30% of total calories from fat, and excludes red meat, processed meats, fried foods, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, food colorings, and other ultra-processed ingredients. Participants will also receive weekly remote sessions with a registered dietitian focused on dietary adherence, meal customization, grocery shopping, food affordability, and basic cooking skills.

  • BehavioralDiet Guidance for Usual Diet

    Participants will continue consuming their self-selected usual diet for 8 weeks. During this period, participants will receive weekly remote sessions with a registered dietitian focused on safe food handling, food preparation and cooking practices, and general nutrition education. Participants will also receive grocery gift cards to support food purchasing and to maintain equivalent contact time and participant engagement across study periods. No specific dietary pattern, food restrictions, or nutrient intake targets will be prescribed during this phase.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Participants Achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Response

    Clinical response is defined as a ≥70-point reduction from baseline in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The outcome is the percentage of participants who achieve this response following the dietary intervention.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 10, Week 18

  2. Participants Achieving Fecal Calprotectin (FC) Reduction

    Reduction is defined as a \>50% decrease from baseline in fecal calprotectin (FC). The outcome is the percentage of participants who achieve this reduction.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 10, Week 18

Secondary outcomes

  1. Participants Achieving Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Clinical Remission

    Clinical Remission is defined as achieving a Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of \<150. The outcome is the percentage of participants who achieve this score.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 10, Week 18

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2030, 47 months after the start.

Of 287 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Crohn Disease, half reached primary completion within 46 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 67. This study's planned 47 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 299 studies reached it within 45 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 65.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Sep 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
