Test for CMV reactivation risk during ulcerative colitis flare
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study checks whether a blood test (QuantiFERON-CMV, related to prior CMV infection) can predict if CMV might reactivate during a severe ulcerative colitis flare. It may help doctors spot people at higher risk and potentially guide monitoring and treatment during hospitalization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a past CMV infection (blood test shows CMV IgG positive)
- You are currently being admitted to the hospital for an ulcerative colitis flare
- Your ulcerative colitis flare is severe (Mayo score above 5 and endoscopy score at least 2)
- You have health coverage/insurance through the social security system
- You can understand the study and sign the consent form

This study uses a blood test (QuantiFERON-CMV) to help decide whether people with a silent (no symptoms) CMV infection after a solid organ transplant need treatment. If you have a low-to-moderate level of CMV in your blood without fever or organ issues, this trial may help your doctor choose the safest approach.
This trial checks if measuring a specific virus marker in your blood after a stem cell transplant can help predict or prevent transplant complications. You would have extra blood tests to guide your care.
This trial is for adults who have had a stem cell transplant and now have their first CMV infection. It tests a way to measure your immune response to CMV, which may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This trial looks at how immune cells change during severe IBD flare-ups. It aims to better understand inflammation and may lead to new ways to treat flares.
This trial compares different diagnostic tests to find the best way to detect cytomegalovirus (CMV) organ disease in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) whose symptoms get worse and need hospital care. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment for this complication.
This trial uses a gentle ultrasound scan (on the outside of the body) to see how well treatment is working during a moderate to severe flare of ulcerative colitis. It aims to find out if this painless test can predict recovery and help guide care without needing a telescope exam (endoscopy).
