NCT ID NCT05294107

First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study takes small tissue samples from the gut during routine endoscopy and grows them into mini-organs called organoids. 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 in the lab, not to treat participants directly.
