Surgical margin study for Crohn's disease recurrence
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clear diagnosis of Crohn's disease that involves the last part of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine (ileocecal area).
- You are planning to have surgery to remove only that affected section (ileocecal resection), and the total length of the diseased bowel is less than about 32 inches (80 cm).
- You have not had this specific surgery before.
- You do not require a stoma (bag) after surgery and do not have other serious medical conditions that would make surgery risky.
- You are willing to follow the study plan, return for checkups, and sign a consent form.

This study looks at what happens to people with Crohn's disease after they have surgery to remove a diseased part of their intestine. The goal is to find patterns or signs that might help predict whether the disease will come back, which could help doctors plan better follow-up care.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the affected part of the intestine in people with Crohn's disease. It aims to see if removing more tissue around the blood vessels leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at how certain immune cells relate to Crohn's disease coming back after bowel surgery. The goal is to better understand why some patients have a recurrence, which could help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether a special surgical technique (mesentery-embedding) is safe for people with Crohn's disease who need ileocolic surgery and are already on a biologic medication. It aims to see if this method can help reduce complications.
This trial tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery technique for Crohn's disease affecting the last part of the small intestine. It aims to see if removing more of the fatty tissue around the bowel leads to better outcomes. If you have Crohn's disease needing surgery in this area, you may be eligible.
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.
