Gastroduodenal Crohn disease

This trial compares two bowel-cleansing regimens for colonoscopy in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One uses a high-volume polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution, while the other uses a lower-volume sodium picosulfate and magnesium oxide preparation. The study will me…

This trial tests whether ferric maltol, an oral iron supplement, can safely raise hemoglobin levels in adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have iron deficiency anemia and have not responded to or cannot tolerate standard ferrous iron pills. Participants take either f…

This study tests whether a peer coaching program delivered by phone and text can help adolescents and young adults (ages 16–22) with chronic conditions like sickle cell disease, diabetes, or cystic fibrosis improve their self-management skills. Participants are paired with a trai…

This trial tests whether a nurse-led education program, based on the Health Belief Model, can improve treatment adherence in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who are receiving anti-TNF therapy. The program aims to address patients' co…

This study followed 150 people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) who were given VedAryo (vedolizumab) to see if it helps control their condition and is safe. Participants received the drug by IV at the start, after 2 weeks, after 6 weeks, and…

This study looked at 208 children who had a procedure called balloon enteroscopy to find problems in the small intestine. Researchers compared two types—single-balloon and double-balloon—to see which one worked better and was safer. The goal was to help doctors choose the best me…

This study looked at four substances in the blood (Osteoprotegerin, sRANKL, NFkB, and TFF3) to see if they could help diagnose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Researchers measured these markers in 70 newly diagnosed patient…

This study tested whether combining a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) with the drug bezlotoxumab could prevent repeat Clostridium difficile infections in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Sixty-one adults with at least two prior C. diff infections were randomly assi…

This study tested a 21-step enhanced recovery protocol for children aged 10-18 undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery. The protocol included things like shorter fasting times, early eating and moving, and less use of opioids. The goal was to see if it could shorten hospital…

This study looked at whether placing a bridge device during loop ileostomy creation reduces complications like infections or stoma problems. 166 adults having elective colorectal surgery took part. The goal was to see if the device improves outcomes or just adds difficulty to car…

This study tested whether nurse coaching could help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) better manage their symptoms, improve self-care, and enhance quality of life. Forty adults with IBD in remission participated. Researchers measured changes in symptom burden, self-car…

This small study tested whether an AI-powered virtual reality app could safely provide mental health support to 22 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who also had mild anxiety or depression. The goal was to see if the digital session was practical and acceptable, not to…

This study compares two ways of doing colonoscopy in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at higher risk for colon cancer. One method takes biopsies only from visible abnormal areas, while the other also takes random biopsies from normal-looking tissue. The goal i…

This study measured how often adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) show signs of eating disorders, including avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Researchers used questionnaires to assess eating habits and nutritional status…

This study looked at how much of the drug risankizumab (Skyrizi) passes into the breast milk of women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ten breastfeeding mothers who were already taking the drug provided milk samples over several weeks. The goal is to understand potential ex…

This study looked at 120 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to see if simple stool tests can tell if the disease is active or in remission, just like a colonoscopy does. Colonoscopy is the current gold standard but is expensive, invasive, and not ideal for frequent chec…

This study looked at 139 children having a colonoscopy to see how often the CMV virus is found in their gut tissue and blood. Some children had inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis) and some did not. The goal was to learn which tests best detect CMV in the gut, helping …

This completed observational study collected over 3,700 PillCam SB3 capsule endoscopy videos from standard care procedures. The goal was to build a large database of images showing both normal and diseased small intestine tissue. Researchers will use this data to develop and vali…

This completed study examined gut bacteria in 15 people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or Parkinson's disease, comparing them to healthy individuals. Researchers analyzed stool and blood samples to see if bacteria from the gut move into the bloodstream. The goal was to und…
