New study aims to give ileostomy patients a voice in Crohn's trials

NCT ID NCT06670638

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

Summary

This study involves about 50 adults with Crohn's disease who have a permanent ileostomy (a surgically created opening in the belly to pass waste). The goal is to create new tools—a patient questionnaire and an endoscopic scoring system—to accurately measure disease activity in this group. Currently, these patients are often left out of clinical trials because there are no good ways to track their condition. By developing these tools, researchers hope to include them in future studies for new treatments.
