Gut bacteria and scar tissue in Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut may affect scar tissue (fibrosis) and the immune system in people with Crohn's disease. By comparing tissue samples from people with and without Crohn's, researchers hope to understand why some people develop narrowing or blockages, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 69 years old.
- If you have Crohn's disease, your doctor must have classified your type (B1, B2, or B3) based on scans like CT, MRI, or ultrasound.
- If you don't have Crohn's, you must have another bowel condition like diverticulitis, and you must not be taking anti-inflammatory or immune-suppressing drugs for it.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must be able to understand and sign the consent form on your own.

This study uses special imaging to look at tissue removed during surgery for Crohn's disease. It may help doctors understand the disease better and improve future treatments.
This study looks at people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy to check for abnormal cells in the colon. The goal is to learn more about these growths and how likely they are to become cancer over time, which could help improve future monitoring and treatment.
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 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 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.
This study uses a computer program to look at scar tissue in biopsy samples from people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if the amount of scar tissue is linked to patient history and how the disease progresses over time.
