AI and data science aim to predict IBD treatment shifts
NCT ID NCT05733702
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
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 artificial intelligence and data science to improve personalized care for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
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 predict when IBD patients need a treatment change, leading to more personalized and timely care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It may not find clear markers, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * ≥ 18 years old * Participants are willing and able to comply with the protocol including undergoing data and sample collection as well as study visits and examinations. * Signed informed consent form * Diagnosed with Inflammatory bowel disease, either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, at least 3 months before the enrolment AND occurrence of a significant change in the treatment of the disease (either change of drug dosage OR change of medication within the same treatment class OR change of treatment class OR addition of a drug to a treatment regimen already ongoing). A change of drug dosage or frequency is considered significant if it fulfills the requirements in section 7.1 Note: Patients with ostomy or with short bowel syndrome can be included if they fulfill all the eligibility criteria Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition that could potentially hamper the compliance with the study protocol, including study procedures and study visits (such as mental disability that makes it difficult or impossible to answer questionnaires) * Not fluent in any of the following languages: French, English or German * Known pregnancy
