NCT ID NCT07413653

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will use powerful MRI scans on intestinal tissue removed during surgery from 60 people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to better tell apart active inflammation from permanent scarring, which is hard to do with current scans. By comparing MRI results with detailed tissue analysis, researchers hope to improve future imaging so doctors can make more personalized treatment decisions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better distinguish active inflammation from permanent scarring in Crohn's disease using MRI, leading to more personalized treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is an early, small study on tissue already removed during surgery, not a treatment trial. The findings may not translate directly to living patients or change current care soon.
