How gut bacteria affect intestinal scarring in Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You can sign the consent form yourself
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- If you have Crohn's disease, you have been diagnosed and your type has been classified as inflammatory (B1), stricturing (B2), or both stricturing and penetrating (B3) based on imaging scans
- If you do not have IBD, you have another condition like diverticulitis and are not on anti-inflammatory or immune-suppressing drugs for IBD

This study follows patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) to better understand abnormal growths in the colon (dysplasia) and their risk of turning into cancer. It aims to improve how we predict and prevent cancer in IBD patients.
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 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.
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 looks at bacteria in the blood to see if they can predict if Crohn's disease comes back after surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to prevent recurrence.
