What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will measure vitamin D levels in 100 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) to see if low vitamin D is linked to more active disease. Participants will have blood tests for vitamin D and inflammation markers. The goal is to better understand the relationship, not to test a new treatment.

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 it works, this could clarify whether low vitamin D is linked to worse IBD symptoms, possibly pointing toward better monitoring or supplementation strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not change clinical practice.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

* Adults aged ≥18 years * Diagnosed with crohn's and ulcerative colitis * Regular follow-up as an outpatient in the IBD clinic at Al-RAGHI hospital Assuit university * Recent vitamin D and disease activity assessment (within 1 month) * Sample Size Calculation: Assuming an expected prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in IBD patients around 50%, a sample size of n = 100-150 will give adequate power (80%) to detect significant correlations (p \< 0.05) between vitamin D levels and disease activity indices.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone
