Testing two UC surgery reconstructions after colectomy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 to 60 years old
- You have UC and had (or are scheduled for) subtotal colectomy with an ileostomy
- Your rectum can stretch/adjust well enough and is not causing major problems
- Your rectal inflammation can be controlled using only topical mesalazine (an anti-inflammatory medicine for the rectum)
- Your UC diagnosis is clear and confirmed

This trial tests a new, precise way to connect a pouch to the anus during surgery for ulcerative colitis. It aims to make the procedure safer and improve outcomes for people whose colitis is not controlled by medication.
This trial tests a new treatment for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) whose disease is active despite taking only mesalamine or sulfasalazine. It aims to find a therapy that can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
This study follows patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to see how their intestine heals after surgery. It looks for signs that can predict whether inflammation will return or complications will happen.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This trial tests whether a medicine applied to the pouch after surgery can prevent pouchitis (inflammation of the pouch) in people with ulcerative colitis who have had their colon removed and a pouch created. It may help avoid the discomfort and complications of pouchitis.
This trial studies whether continuing advanced medical treatments or having surgery (colectomy) is better for people with ulcerative colitis whose disease is active and hasn't improved after trying two or more advanced therapies.
