Bile acid trial for pouchitis fails to finish

NCT ID NCT03724175

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tested whether a bile acid supplement called UDCA could reduce inflammation and improve quality of life in people with pouchitis, a complication after surgery for ulcerative colitis. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated early. The goal was to see if UDCA could help control symptoms, but the small size means no firm conclusions can be drawn.
