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 study tests tirzepatide, a drug used for diabetes, in 60 adults with Crohn's disease who have active inflammation in the small bowel despite other treatments. The goal is to see if tirzepatide can heal the gut lining better than switching to another standard biologic therapy…

This study tests whether thalidomide combined with glutamine can reduce bleeding in people with chronic radiation injury to the intestines. 150 adults who have rectal bleeding after past radiation therapy will take one or both drugs for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the combinat…

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 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 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 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 aims to create a standardized quality system for confocal enteroscopy, a technique that lets doctors see cells in real time during a small bowel exam. Researchers will enroll 600 people aged 18-70 who need small bowel endoscopy, along with certified gastroenterologists…

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…
