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 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 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.
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 trial uses artificial intelligence during colonoscopy to predict if Crohn's disease will come back after surgery. It aims to improve early detection and guide treatment decisions.
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.
