Crohn ileitis

This trial tests whether using ultrasound during surgery to choose where to cut the bowel leads to better outcomes for people with Crohn's disease. About 44 adults with Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine will be randomly assigned to have their surgery …

This phase 2 trial tests a drug called DISC-0974 in 21 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who also have anemia caused by inflammation. The study aims to see if the drug safely raises hemoglobin levels compared to a placebo. Participants receive injections of either DISC…

This study looks at whether taking a mix of probiotics (good bacteria) can change the gut microbiome of children and teens aged 5-18 with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About 40 participants will be randomly assigned to take probiotics or a placebo, then switch after a period.…

This study tests whether combining guselkumab with JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib or tofacitinib) can help people with inflammatory bowel disease that hasn't improved with other treatments. About 80 participants will receive the drug combination and be monitored for 12 and 52 weeks…

This study tests whether improving nutrition before surgery reduces complications in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About 150 adults scheduled for intestinal surgery will receive a nutrition specialist and special shakes. Researchers will track hospital stay length…

This early-stage trial tests whether statins, a common cholesterol medicine, can prevent strictures (narrowing) in the gut for adults with Crohn's disease. About 20 participants will take either statins or a placebo daily for 6-12 months after surgery. Researchers will check for …

This study tests whether removing a larger portion of the mesentery (the tissue that connects the intestine to the abdominal wall) during surgery for Crohn's disease can reduce the chance of the disease coming back. 204 adults with Crohn's disease limited to the ileocecal area wi…

This study is testing whether a smartphone app called SMART-IBD can help teenagers with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remember to take their medications and manage their symptoms. About 70 teens aged 13-17 will either use the full app with reminders and challenges or just a si…

This study tests a new surgery for people with Crohn's disease in the last part of the small intestine. The surgery removes the diseased section and nearby fatty tissue, then reconnects the bowel in a special way (Kono-S anastomosis). The goal is to see if this lowers the chance …

This trial is developing an AI-powered device that listens to children's heart, breath, and bowel sounds to identify signs of common diseases like congenital heart disease, bronchopneumonia, and abdominal issues. It will involve 30,000 children aged 0-18, some with these conditio…

This study compares a new imaging technique called Texture and Colour Enhancement Imaging (TXI) with standard white light during colonoscopy in 219 people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The goal is to see if TXI finds more dysplastic (precancerous) lesions. Each patient w…

This study is testing a device called the AlgometRx Nociometer to see if it can measure inflammation in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The device checks how different nerve fibers respond, which may give doctors a clearer picture of disease activity. Researchers …

This study is testing a web-based tool that estimates a person's risk of developing Crohn's disease based on their lifestyle and family history. Researchers will enroll 80 healthy people who have a parent or sibling with inflammatory bowel disease. Participants will receive perso…

This study tests a new imaging method using a special dye (FAPI) to detect bowel scarring in people with Crohn's disease. Scarring affects up to half of patients and often leads to surgery, but current tests can't spot it early. The study will involve 30 adults starting biologic …

This study aims to learn how the immune system controls inflammation in the gut for people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Up to 1,000 participants aged 0 to 75 will receive standard medical care and may provide blood, tissue, or white blood cell samples. No experimen…

This study compares using one doctor versus two doctors to perform a procedure called single-balloon enteroscopy, which looks deep into the small intestine. About 228 adults with suspected small bowel disease will be randomly assigned to either technique. The goal is to see if on…

This study follows pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their children for up to four years after birth. Researchers want to see whether the mother's disease activity or use of immunosuppressant or biologic medications affects pregnancy outcomes or the child's…

This study follows 1,500 children newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, to understand why some respond well to treatments while others develop complications. Researchers will collect medical data and biological sa…

This study is checking how common chronic kidney disease is in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Researchers will look at medical records from 600 children with IBD and compare them to children without IBD. The goal is to …

This study follows 450 adults who have early signs of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) found during routine colon cancer screening, but who have no symptoms yet. Researchers will collect blood, stool, and tissue samples over time to see how the disease p…

This early-phase study at Stanford University is testing whether the statin drug rosuvastatin changes bile acid levels and gut bacteria in people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a liver disease with no cure. Researchers will enroll 15 adults with PSC and inflammatory b…

This study tests whether using a predictive model before a double-balloon enteroscopy helps doctors fully examine the small intestine. About 338 adults with suspected small-bowel disease will be randomly assigned to have their doctor see the model score or not. The main goal is t…

The PLANET study is looking at whether tiny plastic particles in our environment can trigger gut inflammation and raise the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will measure microplastics in stool samples from pregnant women, their healthy relatives, and people w…

This study is collecting health data, voice recordings, and biological samples from 100 IBD patients in Luxembourg (part of a larger 800-person study across Europe). Researchers hope to find patterns that can predict when a patient's treatment needs to change. The goal is to use …

This study is looking at why the immune system attacks the gut in people with celiac disease and other immune-related gut disorders. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from 200 adults to study immune cells and genes. The goal is to better understand what goes wrong…
