Ultrasound could replace colonoscopies for Crohn's patients on new drug
NCT ID NCT07308067
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how quickly risankizumab (Skyrizi) heals deep intestinal damage in people with Crohn's disease. Instead of repeated colonoscopies, researchers use intestinal ultrasound to track healing at 4 and 12 weeks. The goal is to find a simpler, more comfortable way to monitor treatment success. About 109 adults with Crohn's disease who are starting risankizumab will take part.
