Heartbeat clues: could your pulse predict IBD drug success?
NCT ID NCT07475052
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether continuous heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring can predict how well patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) respond to biologic therapies like infliximab or vedolizumab. Researchers will track HRV in 100 patients starting treatment and compare those who respond versus those who don't at 14 weeks. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to personalize IBD treatment early on.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which IBD patients will benefit from biologic drugs like infliximab or vedolizumab, avoiding ineffective treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The link between heart rate variability and treatment response is still unproven.
