Could ultrasound replace scopes for colitis checks?
NCT ID NCT07358923
First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This pilot study will test whether a modified ultrasound technique can accurately measure disease activity in people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. Researchers will compare ultrasound results with standard colonoscopy findings in 25 patients starting a new treatment. If the ultrasound method proves reliable, it may offer a less invasive way to monitor the disease over time.

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 provide a non-invasive ultrasound-based method to monitor ulcerative colitis activity, reducing the need for frequent colonoscopies.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The ultrasound criteria are still being developed and need validation in larger trials.
