Could a plasma injection prevent colon Re-Narrowing in Crohn's?
NCT ID NCT06165289
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a patient's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the colon after balloon dilation can prevent the colon from narrowing again in people with Crohn's disease. About 74 participants will receive either a high or low concentration of PRP during the procedure. The main goal is to see if this combination reduces the rate of re-narrowing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to reduce the need for repeat procedures or surgery for colon narrowing in Crohn's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study without a control group, so results may not be conclusive. The benefit of PRP for this use is not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed as CD; * Stenosis of the colon was found during colonoscopy, and surgery was not considered for the time being; ③ Narrow length \<5cm; ④ The patients agreed to undergo endoscopic balloon dilatation and voluntarily signed the informed consent to participate in this study, and were capable of complying with the agreement. Exclusion Criteria: * The patient has contraindications for endoscopic therapy, such as coagulation disorder, severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction, active bleeding, and inability to cooperate. * Deep and large active ulcer was found in the stenosis; * \< 18 years old; * Foreign patients; * Patients with a history of malignant tumors, including melanoma (except local skin cancer); * Pregnant or nursing patients; * Patients who could not be followed at all nodes of the primary outcome indicator; Other diseases that researchers believe could put patients at risk; * Other diseases that researchers believe could put patients at risk.
