ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC)

This study tested whether taking tempeh powder (a source of isoflavones) and vitamin D3 daily for 8 weeks could improve vitamin D levels, reduce inflammation, and boost quality of life in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fifty adults with ulcerative colitis or Crohn'…

This study looked back at medical records of 81 people with severe ulcerative colitis to see if starting upadacitinib early works better than using it after other treatments fail. Researchers checked how many avoided surgery and achieved remission within 12 weeks. The goal is to …

This study tested a 15-day diet called UC-TREAT, rich in high-fiber foods, fermented foods, and berries, in 36 adults—some healthy and some with quiescent (inactive) ulcerative colitis. Researchers measured changes in gut bacteria, digestive symptoms, and diet acceptability. The …

This study followed 150 people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) who were given VedAryo (vedolizumab) to see if it helps control their condition and is safe. Participants received the drug by IV at the start, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks, and…

This study tested a new drug called IBI112 in 150 people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, a condition that causes inflammation and sores in the colon. The goal was to see if IBI112 could help patients achieve remission (no symptoms) after 12 weeks of treatment. Partici…

This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce anxiety and depression in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis). Participants receive either psychologist-led or self-administered CBT over 8 weeks. The goal is to see …

This completed trial tested whether four free self-help resources—a symptom-tracking app, a cognitive behavioral therapy workbook, a helpline, and a peer mentor—can reduce disability in people with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Over 800 adults particip…

This study measured how often adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) show signs of eating disorders, including avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Researchers used questionnaires to assess eating habits and nutritional status…

This study tested a new scoring system called CAT-DESIRE to evaluate ulcerative colitis severity using colonoscopy images. Researchers reviewed images from 235 patients to see if the new score is reliable and can predict long-term outcomes. The goal is to provide a simple, accura…

This study looked at 366 adults referred for suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The goal was to find simple, non-invasive markers that can help doctors diagnose IBD more accurately and predict how the disease will progres…

This study examined how differences in the BAFF gene might affect a person's risk of developing ulcerative colitis and how well they respond to the drug vedolizumab. Researchers analyzed genetic samples from 841 people with ulcerative colitis. The goal was to better understand th…

This completed study examined whether differences in the IL-7 receptor gene are linked to the risk of developing ulcerative colitis and how well patients respond to the drug vedolizumab. Researchers enrolled 898 people, including those with UC and healthy controls, and analyzed t…

This study looked at whether two blood-based scores (CALLY and HAALP) can help doctors tell when ulcerative colitis is active. Researchers measured these scores in 100 patients and compared them to standard inflammation markers. The goal was to see if these scores could be a simp…

This study looked at 159 people with ulcerative colitis who started a new advanced therapy. Researchers examined tissue samples from the colon to see if microscopic signs of inflammation could predict future problems like hospital stays or surgery. The goal is to help doctors dec…
