Can we predict Crohn's return after surgery? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT03458195
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 575 Crohn's disease patients who have had ileocecal resection surgery. Researchers collect blood, tissue, and microbiome samples to classify the disease and identify factors that predict recurrence. The goal is to improve prevention and treatment strategies for post-surgery relapse.
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 lead to better ways to predict and prevent Crohn's disease recurrence after surgery, and help tailor treatments to individual patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. The findings may not lead to immediate changes in patient care.
