Tissue repair study in IBD using organoid technology
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis that affects your colon.
- You are scheduled for a screening colonoscopy or intestinal surgery as part of your IBD care.

This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
This study collects and stores digestive (bowel) tissue to better understand how gut bacteria may affect diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers find future ways to improve care for people with these conditions.
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 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 well robotic surgery works for people with inflammatory bowel disease. It aims to help surgeons learn and improve outcomes for patients like you.
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.
