Immune cell clues could forecast Crohn's relapse after surgery
NCT ID NCT02770495
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 59 adults with Crohn's disease who had surgery to remove diseased parts of their intestine. The goal was to see if certain immune cells in the blood and gut could predict whether the disease would come back within a year. By understanding these patterns, doctors hope to identify high-risk patients earlier and develop better treatments.
