Study of an environmental risk factor in Crohn’s
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how an environmental factor may be linked to Crohn’s disease, especially around the time you need certain bowel surgery. Your experience may help researchers understand risk and how it relates to your gut health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Crohn’s disease that involves the ileum and colon, and you need surgery
- The planned surgery is on the ileum and/or colon
- If you need surgery for another reason (like cancer, polyps, or diverticulum), you may still qualify
- You are not on antibiotics or probiotics within the last 6 weeks
- You did not use bowel-related treatments like suppositories or enemas with 5-ASA or steroids within the last 6 weeks
- You do not have a history of intestinal resection surgery and you’re not dealing with certain eating/diet restrictions (like celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, eating disorders, or specific restrictive diets)

This study analyzes your gut bacteria to see if it can predict how well you will respond to Crohn's disease treatments. If you are having a colonoscopy for routine care, you may be eligible.
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis when their treatment is changed. It collects health information and samples to better understand how treatment changes affect people over time.
This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria (the microbiome) relate to inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. It may help researchers understand what might improve symptoms or disease control.
This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after being newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers understand the pain process and improve future treatments.
This study compares two ways to choose biologic (targeted) medicines after Crohn’s surgery to help stop Crohn’s from coming back in the bowel. It may help you avoid or delay repeat inflammation by adjusting treatment based on endoscopy findings.
This study looks at bacteria in the blood to see if they can predict if Crohn's disease comes back after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to prevent recurrence.
