Summary

This trial will compare continuing 5-ASA therapy versus stopping it in Crohn's disease patients who are in remission to see if there is a difference in disease flareups.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Crohn's Disease who are currently in remission. Participants must have been taking an oral aminosalicylate (5-ASA) for at least 6 months, be compliant with their medication, and able to fully engage in the study. People with active fistulizing disease, recent flares or surgeries, other interventional trials within 3 months, or substance abuse issues cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study aims to determine if stopping aminosalicylate therapy (5-ASA withdrawal) is just as effective as continuing it for those in remission from Crohn's Disease. It compares two groups: one stops taking the drug while the other continues its use.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated here, potential side effects may include symptoms related to Crohn's Disease flare-ups due to withdrawal of treatment such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and possibly worsening inflammation.
