Study of the immune features soon after bowel disease starts
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at immune system changes in people around the time inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is first diagnosed, and compares different groups (new, very recent, or not found on scope). It may help researchers understand what the immune system looks like early in IBD and later in people who don’t show it on colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You had a colonoscopy as part of CRC (colorectal cancer) screening within the last 3 months
- Your colonoscopy results fit one of the study groups: new IBD diagnosis, IBD symptoms started <3 months ago, or no IBD signs on scope
- For the “new diagnosis” group: you were not having IBD symptoms at the time you were diagnosed
- For the “no IBD on scope” group: you have no stomach or gut symptoms right now
- You have not used immune medicines like immunomodulators or biologics (for the groups that require this)

This study collects blood and tissue samples to better understand how the immune system behaves in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It aims to advance research rather than test a specific new treatment, and it also enrolls healthy volunteers for comparison.
This study is looking at how the immune system works in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. By comparing blood or tissue samples from people with and without IBD, researchers hope to find better ways to treat the disease in the future.
This study looks at people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) and compares them with people without it. Researchers want to understand differences that may help explain or better detect the disease.
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 looks at what factors help predict how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may progress over time. You may be able to join if you are an adult with IBD and fit one of the study groups based on whether you have used TNF-blocking medicines before.
This study looks at the genes of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and healthy volunteers to understand why IBD affects different populations. You may join if you have Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or undetermined IBD, or if you are a healthy person without any IBD history.
