Age matters: gut bacteria clues in Crohn's disease
NCT ID NCT02839317
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at gut bacteria in 214 people: children and older adults recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease, plus healthy controls. Researchers compared the bacteria and genetic profiles to see if age-related differences could explain why Crohn's starts at different life stages. The goal is to better understand the disease and eventually personalize treatment based on age and gut bacteria.

What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results might not apply to all Crohn's patients.
