Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06274554RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Antifungal Therapy for Crohn's Disease
This study tests whether adding an antifungal drug (fluconazole) to standard Crohn's disease treatment helps improve symptoms. It's for people with mild to moderate Crohn's who have not used antifungal medications recently.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07694674Recruiting
Comparing Biologic Drugs to Prevent Crohn's Return After Surgery
This trial compares different biologic medications to see which best prevents Crohn's disease from coming back after intestinal surgery. It may help you if you have had surgery for Crohn's and are starting a biologic drug soon after.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06332534RecruitingPhase 3
Upadacitinib in children with moderate to severe Crohn's disease
This study tests an oral pill called upadacitinib for children with moderate to severe Crohn's disease that hasn't responded well to other treatments. It aims to see if the medicine can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms safely.
Oakland, CaliforniaAges 2–17 - NCT06538649RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing statins for Crohn's disease before and after surgery
This study tests whether taking a statin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) before and after surgery for Crohn's disease can help improve outcomes. It's for people with a specific type of Crohn's that causes narrowing in the small intestine and who are already scheduled for surgery.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06555042Recruiting
Crohn's disease imaging study with PET-MRI
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at inflammation and blood flow in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. It may help doctors better understand disease activity in the gut.
