Comparing two J-pouch sizes in pouch surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial compares two different J-pouch sizes (10 cm vs. 15 cm) during surgery for ulcerative colitis or FAP. The goal is to see if one size leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to create a J-pouch (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
- Your anal sphincter muscles work normally (based on your history and a physical exam).
- You are able to give written permission (informed consent) to participate.
- During surgery, the surgeon finds that both a small (10 cm) and medium-sized (15 cm) pouch can be made without too much tension or trouble reaching.

This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
This trial studies a tailored plan for surveillance (check-ups) and interventions to find and remove new growths early in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after bowel surgery. It may help lower the chance of cancer by closely monitoring and treating polyps when they appear.
This study tests whether a natural supplement called Aquamin (a red algae-derived mineral source) can help prevent inflammation in people who have had surgery for ulcerative colitis and now have a J-pouch. It aims to see if this supplement reduces pouch inflammation and related symptoms.
This early-phase trial studies REC-4881 in adults with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a condition that causes many colon/rectum and duodenal polyps. It aims to see whether the treatment can safely help control or shrink polyp growth in people who have had bowel surgery.
This study looks at a way of reconnecting the small intestine to the anus after the colon and rectum are removed, using a single stapling technique. It may help people with ulcerative colitis who need surgery to have better outcomes and recovery.
This trial tests a new drug, TPST-1495, to reduce the number of benign polyps in the small intestine for people with a condition called familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). If you join, you will likely not know if you receive the drug or a placebo, to see if the drug is helpful.
