Could a plasma injection prevent colon Re-Narrowing in Crohn's?
NCT ID NCT06165289
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the colon after balloon dilation can prevent the colon from narrowing again in people with Crohn's disease. About 74 participants will receive either a high or low concentration of PRP during the procedure. The main goal is to see if this combination reduces the rate of re-narrowing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to reduce the need for repeat procedures or surgery for colon narrowing in Crohn's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study without a control group, so results may not be conclusive. The benefit of PRP for this use is not yet proven.
