Home test may keep ulcerative colitis flares at bay
NCT ID NCT03549988
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether people with ulcerative colitis can avoid symptom flare-ups by regularly testing a marker of gut inflammation (fecal calprotectin) at home. Over 700 adults in remission used a smartphone-based test kit to detect inflammation early, allowing doctors to adjust treatment before symptoms worsened. The goal was to reduce steroid use, hospital stays, and surgeries while improving quality of life.
