IBD tissue study using gene mapping
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having intestinal surgery. Researchers will use a special technique to see which genes are active in different parts of the intestine, which may help understand why IBD behaves differently in each person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (confirmed by a biopsy).
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part of your intestine because of complications from your IBD.
- You have already agreed to let your tissue samples be stored in the IBD Biobank for future research.

This study looks at how microbes in your gut might influence scarring (fibrosis) and immune responses in the intestines of people with Crohn's disease. It compares tissue samples from Crohn's patients to those from people without inflammatory bowel disease (like diverticulitis).
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 collects blood, stool, tissue, and health information from people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), their relatives, and healthy volunteers to find patterns that may help diagnose or treat IBD better in the future.
This study is gathering information from people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and from people without IBD. Researchers will look at samples from the colon to learn more about these conditions.
This study collects tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis during routine colonoscopy or surgery to grow mini-organs (organoids) in the lab. The goal is to learn how the gut heals itself, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at gene activity (what your body’s genes are “doing”) in people with bowel inflammation during endoscopy or bowel surgery. It may help researchers understand inflammatory bowel disease and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
