Study of bones and bone marrow in new Crohn’s
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how Crohn’s disease affects bones and bone marrow soon after diagnosis. It may help researchers understand disease effects and improve future care, either by comparing you to healthy controls or by tracking changes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have Crohn’s disease diagnosed within the last 3 months, or be a healthy matched control
- Do not have another long-term condition known to affect bone health or metabolism
- Avoid certain bone-affecting medications taken within the last 3 months (your team will review your list)
- Be able to have an MRI, meaning you don’t have incompatible metal implants and can tolerate being inside the scanner
- Not be pregnant
- No known problem in or next to your left knee (and no history of severe claustrophobia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new imaging method that uses a special PET/MR scan to see how active Crohn's disease is in your bowel. The scan uses a harmless radioactive tracer that attaches to scar tissue, which may help doctors better understand the disease and guide treatment.
This study checks whether adding an extra, cross-body “transmural” evaluation (looking at inflammation throughout the bowel) improves care for adults with Crohn’s who are starting or receiving biologic (biotherapy) treatment. It uses close follow-up with stool calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation) to see if this approach helps control inflammation.
This study looks at how Crohn’s disease healing shows up on a special MRI (MRE) and tries to better define what “healed” means. It may help your care team track healing more accurately, especially inside the bowel.
This study looks at proteins from your body and gut bacteria to understand Crohn's disease better. You may join if you are about to have your first colonoscopy for suspected Crohn's and have not had any treatment yet.
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.
This study follows children newly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease to see how results from scans and endoscopy (camera scope) relate to outcomes over the first year. It may help doctors choose better early treatment plans and monitor children more effectively.
