Predicting Crohn's treatment success with gut bacteria
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 80 years old.
- You have Crohn's disease that affects the last part of the small intestine and/or the colon (which can be seen with a colonoscopy).
- You are scheduled for a colonoscopy as part of your regular care (whether you have active symptoms or not).
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 2 months.
- You have not traveled outside the US or Canada in the last month.
- You have not had major bowel surgery (like colectomy, J-pouch, or short bowel syndrome).

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 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 looks at how bacteria in the gut may affect scarring (fibrosis) in the intestines, especially in people with Crohn's disease. By joining, you may help researchers understand why scarring happens, which could lead to better treatments.
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 for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
