Blood marker may predict IBD Flare-Ups
NCT ID NCT04535882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is looking at whether a substance in the blood called LRG can help doctors tell how active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease is in the gut. Researchers will measure LRG levels in 300 people who might have these conditions and compare them with what is seen during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see if LRG could be a simple blood test to monitor disease activity.
