Blood test may replace scopes for IBD diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07400211
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether measuring two specific genes (NEAT1 and ANRIL) in blood samples can help diagnose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) without needing a colonoscopy. Researchers will test blood from 62 newly diagnosed IBD patients and look for links between these genes and inflammation markers. If the approach works, it could lead to a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool.
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 a simple blood test to help diagnose inflammatory bowel disease without invasive procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 62 participants. The biomarkers may not prove accurate enough for clinical use.
