NCT ID NCT05781152

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 900 children ages 6-17 who are newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease and starting anti-TNF therapy. Researchers will track healing of the intestine using blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and MRI over one year. The goal is to understand why some children heal completely while others do not, so doctors can personalize treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Anti-TNF therapy (biologic drugs like Remicade, Humira)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors personalize anti-TNF treatment for children with Crohn's, leading to better healing of the intestine.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not testing a new drug. It won't prove that anti-TNF works better than other treatments, and results may not apply to all children.
