NCT ID NCT05294107

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) from people undergoing routine endoscopy and grows them into mini-organs called organoids in the lab. These organoids mimic the real intestine and help researchers understand diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. The goal is to learn how these diseases work and test new treatments, not to provide direct benefit to participants.
