Study using gut samples to understand germs and your immune system
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study collects gut tissue (biopsies) and blood to learn how gut germs (microbes) and the immune system interact. It may help researchers understand why gut infections or immune problems happen and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) in people with chronic gut conditions. Researchers want to understand how gut bacteria differ in these conditions to help improve treatments.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
This study looks at adults with immune-related stomach and intestine problems to better understand what may cause them. If you qualify, you can share information and consent to help researchers learn how these conditions work.
This study looks at how different ways of handling human samples affect the accuracy of gut bacteria analysis. It aims to improve testing methods, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment for digestive conditions.
