Scientists hunt for clues to predict IBD treatment success
NCT ID NCT05653011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to identify biological markers that can predict how patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will respond to a type of medication called TNF-alpha inhibitors. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from 100 adults, including healthy controls and IBD patients starting or already on this therapy. By measuring levels of various markers, they hope to better understand which patients are most likely to benefit from treatment.
