How gut bacteria affect intestinal scarring
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut might cause scarring in the intestines, especially in people with Crohn's disease. It may help doctors understand why some people develop serious blockages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 69 years old.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- If you have Crohn's disease, you need to have a known classification (B1, B2, or B3).
- If you do not have Crohn's disease, you must be having surgery for a non-IBD condition like diverticulitis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study analyzes your gut bacteria to see if it can predict how well you will respond to Crohn's disease treatments. If you are having a colonoscopy for routine care, you may be eligible.
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 tests whether a special diet (called an exclusion diet) plus a nutritional supplement can change your gut bacteria and help control active Crohn's disease. It may be a good option if you have mild-to-moderate symptoms and want to try a food-based approach before stronger medications.
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 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.
