How cell cleanup works in children with Crohn's disease
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how cells in the intestine process waste (a process called autophagy) in children with Crohn's disease. It aims to better understand the disease and may lead to better treatments in the future.

This study tests a special liquid diet (smoothie) to treat newly diagnosed Crohn's disease in children and young adults. It aims to understand how the diet works and if it can help reduce inflammation.
This study follows children newly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease to see how results from scans and endoscopy (camera scope) relate to outcomes over the first year. It may help doctors choose better early treatment plans and monitor children more effectively.
This study looks at outcomes after children with Crohn’s disease have part of the bowel removed (ileo-cecal resection). It may help doctors improve post-surgery care, especially for preventing flare-ups in the months after surgery.
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 trial collects information from children who are newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and follows them to understand safety in real life. It may help doctors improve early diagnosis and treatment planning for kids with IBD.
This study looks at people with Crohn's disease that is hard to treat. It aims to understand the disease better and see how well current treatments work.
