Biobank study using gut tissue in bowel disease
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study collects and stores digestive (bowel) tissue to better understand how gut bacteria may affect diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers find future ways to improve care for people with these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or a colorectal (colon/rectum) condition
- Have had digestive surgery (a resection) where tissue is available for research
- Be able to sign the study consent form (or have your consent provided)
- Be 18 years of age or older

This study collects samples to learn how gut microbes, genetics, and body chemistry may relate to Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Your information and samples may help researchers understand disease patterns, but it does not test a new drug.
This study collects and stores information and samples from people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to help researchers learn more and improve care. Your participation mainly helps build a “biobank,” which can support future studies.
This study asks people with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease to enroll in a registry and biorepository. It helps researchers better understand the condition using health information and stored biological samples.
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 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 collects tissue and blood samples from people with ulcerative colitis or certain colon polyps to help researchers better understand these conditions. If you are having a colonoscopy or surgery for these conditions, you may be able to participate.
