Crohn disease

This trial investigates whether an oral medication called etrasimod can help people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who have not responded well to other treatments. Participants take either etrasimod or a placebo daily for up to several years. The study measures improveme…

This study tested brazikumab, an experimental biologic drug, in 89 adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. Participants received either brazikumab, a placebo, or an active comparator (Humira) to see if the drug could improve symptoms and heal the gut lining. The trial was…

This study looks at people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who are in deep remission. It compares two methods for gradually increasing the time between infliximab infusions: one based on symptoms and one based on drug levels in the blood. T…

This study tested whether stem cells from donated bone marrow could heal fistulas (abnormal tunnels) in people with Crohn's disease who had a pouch after colon removal. The trial planned to enroll 24 adults but was terminated early, so we don't have clear results on safety or hea…

This study tested whether stem cells from donated bone marrow could safely heal rectovaginal fistulas in women with Crohn's disease. These fistulas are abnormal connections between the rectum and vagina that cause pain, infections, and poor quality of life. The trial planned to e…

This early-phase study tested whether injecting stem cells from donated bone marrow could help heal perianal fistulas in teenagers with Crohn's disease. Six patients aged 13-17 received injections of 75 million stem cells directly into the fistula tract, with a possible second do…

This early-phase study tested whether injecting donor stem cells directly into the colon could help people with severe Crohn's colitis that didn't respond to standard treatments. Only 7 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to check safety, but be…

This early-stage study tested whether injecting donor stem cells directly into fistulas (abnormal tunnels) could help people with Crohn's disease. The trial planned to enroll 25 adults but was terminated early. The goal was to check safety and see if the treatment could lead to c…

This study compared two surgical methods for removing diseased intestine in people with Crohn's disease: one that cuts the main artery high up, and one that spares the mesentery (the tissue holding the intestine). The goal was to see which technique better prevents the disease fr…

This study was designed to see if brazikumab is safe and tolerable over the long term for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. It enrolled 18 participants who had previously been in a related study. The trial was terminated early, meaning it did not reach its planned e…

This trial tested whether a computer program that customizes infliximab doses based on blood tests can help children and young adults with Crohn's disease reach better drug levels than standard dosing. Only 6 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal…

This study tested the antifungal drug posaconazole in people with active Crohn's disease who carry a specific gene variant (CARD9 S12N). The goal was to see if reducing a type of fungus in the gut could lower inflammation and improve symptoms. The trial was stopped early and incl…

This study tested the long-term safety and effectiveness of a stem cell treatment called darvadstrocel (Alofisel) for people with Crohn's disease and complex anal fistulas. Researchers planned to give one injection of the stem cells and follow 53 participants over several visits,…

This study looked at whether an anti-inflammatory whole-food diet (rich in vegetables, fruits, and omega-3s, low in processed foods) could improve symptoms in people with mild to moderate Crohn's disease. It enrolled 28 adults and compared the diet to regular eating habits. The t…

This study tested whether statins, a common cholesterol drug, could change the gut bacteria in people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease to a healthier type. The goal was to see if this change could reduce disease activity. The study was terminated early, so results are l…

This study tested a treatment called darvadstrocel for children with Crohn's disease who have complex perianal fistulas (abnormal tunnels near the anus). Seven participants received an injection of the treatment near the fistula after a cleaning procedure. The goal was to see if …

This study tested an oral medication called ozanimod to see if it could help people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease feel better. The trial planned to include 625 adults who had not responded well to other treatments. However, the study was terminated early, so the full re…

This study tested whether the oral drug ozanimod can help people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease maintain symptom control and reduce gut inflammation over 52 weeks. About 550 participants who had already responded to an initial treatment were randomly assigned to receive …

This study was an extension of earlier trials, testing the drug ozanimod in people with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The goal was to see if the drug could help patients achieve remission and to track any side effects. The trial was terminated early, meaning it s…

This study tested whether adding an experimental oral drug (BI 706321) to the standard treatment ustekinumab helps people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. About 49 adults took either the combination or a placebo plus ustekinumab for 12 weeks, followed by ustekinumab alone…

This study tested a new imaging tool called multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) to see if it could safely detect inflammation in people with graft-versus-host disease, Crohn's disease, or colitis. The device uses light and sound to create images of inflamed areas. The tr…

This pilot study tested whether placing a special mesh during ileostomy closure surgery could prevent hernias in people with inflammatory bowel disease. Only 8 patients were enrolled before the study was stopped. The main goal was to check safety, like infections or wound problem…

This small Phase 2 trial tested whether the antibiotic rifaximin could reduce bloating in people with diabetic gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties slowly. Only 5 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated early. The main goal was to measure change…

This study looked at whether having a peer mentor—an older teen or young adult who also has IBD—can help youth ages 10-17 better manage their disease and improve their quality of life. Participants were randomly assigned to either a year-long mentoring program or educational acti…

This study looked at using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to assess small bowel Crohn's disease. Researchers interviewed doctors, nurses, and patients to understand if POCUS could be useful in the NHS. They also compared how POCUS and MRI scans affected doctors' treatment decis…
