Blood microbiome study for Crohn's disease after surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
- You are 16 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove part of the small and large intestine (called ileocolonic resection or reresection).
- You have not taken antibiotics or probiotics in the past 8 weeks before giving blood and stool samples.
- You are willing to provide extra blood and stool samples for the study.

This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease who need surgery to remove the ileocecal area. It aims to better understand post-operative outcomes and what to expect after the operation.
This study looks at how an environmental factor may be linked to Crohn’s disease, especially around the time you need certain bowel surgery. Your experience may help researchers understand risk and how it relates to your gut health.
This study compares two ways to choose biologic (targeted) medicines after Crohn’s surgery to help stop Crohn’s from coming back in the bowel. It may help you avoid or delay repeat inflammation by adjusting treatment based on endoscopy findings.
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 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 certain immune cells relate to Crohn's disease coming back after bowel surgery. The goal is to better understand why some patients have a recurrence, which could help improve future treatments.
