Testing a camera tool to check Crohn’s bowel margins
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at using a special handheld imaging tool during surgery to better check the edges (“margins”) of bowel removed for Crohn’s disease in the ileum/near the cecum. It may help surgeons ensure they remove the right tissue and potentially improve surgical planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Crohn’s disease and need an ileocaecal resection (surgery removing a section near the ileum and cecum).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant and are not breastfeeding.
- Your surgery is not for a return of Crohn’s disease after a previous operation (not a surgical recurrence).
- Your operation is not an emergency surgery for peritonitis (a severe abdominal infection).
- You can safely receive fluorescein dye (no allergy or contraindication to fluorescein or related drugs).

This study checks whether adding an extra, cross-body “transmural” evaluation (looking at inflammation throughout the bowel) improves care for adults with Crohn’s who are starting or receiving biologic (biotherapy) treatment. It uses close follow-up with stool calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation) to see if this approach helps control inflammation.
This study uses a special imaging tracer (FAPI) to find scar tissue in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand which parts of the intestine are scarred, which may guide treatment decisions.
This study compares different special camera techniques during colonoscopy to see which best finds early abnormal (pre-cancer) changes in people with long-term ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors improve how they screen and monitor your colon over time.
This study tests a new camera system that adds texture and color enhancement to the usual white light during a colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new view helps doctors spot signs of inflammation or early cancer more clearly in people with inflammatory bowel disease.
This trial tests a specific way of cutting the bowel during surgery for Crohn's disease to see if it lowers the chance of the disease coming back. It is for people with Crohn's in the ileocecal area who are having their first surgery to remove that section.
This study tests a special camera that helps surgeons see blood flow in the colon during surgery. It may help make sure the surgery is safer and more successful.
