Balloon dilation with PRP for Crohn's colon narrowing
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to the standard balloon dilation procedure can help treat a narrowed section of the colon caused by Crohn's disease. It may offer a way to avoid or delay surgery for some patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
- A colonoscopy shows a narrowed area in your colon that is less than 5 cm long and not being treated with surgery yet.
- You are willing to have an endoscopic balloon dilation procedure and can sign a consent form.
- You do not have any condition that makes endoscopy unsafe, like a bleeding disorder or serious heart/lung problems.
- You are 18 years old or older.

This study looks at inflammation just before a narrowed section of the bowel in people with Crohn’s disease, using planned endoscopic balloon dilation. It may help doctors better understand what drives narrowing and inflammation so treatment can be timed and chosen more effectively.
This trial compares two ways to treat narrowed areas (strictures) in the gut caused by Crohn's disease: endoscopic strictureplasty versus balloon dilation. It aims to see which method works better for people whose strictures are manageable with a scope.
This study looks at treatments for a new (de novo) narrow area in the bowel from Crohn’s disease. It aims to see which treatment works better at relieving blockage-type symptoms for the safest, most effective option.
This study compares a medical treatment approach versus surgery for people with Crohn’s disease that causes narrowing (strictures) in the small intestine and blocking symptoms. It aims to see which approach works better in easing symptoms and preventing problems from the narrowing.
This study compares two timing choices for surgery in people with Crohn’s disease who have bowel narrowing (strictures) causing blockage symptoms. The goal is to see whether operating earlier leads to better control of symptoms and inflammation when other treatments haven’t worked.
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.
