Better imaging for inflammation in bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging technique that may help doctors see inflammation more clearly during colonoscopy in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The technique is called Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) confirmed by biopsy
- You are 18 years or older
- You have not had surgery to remove your entire colon
- You do not have a severe bleeding disorder
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide treatment can help manage inflammatory bowel disease. You may join if you are having an endoscopy to assess your disease.
This study looks at using a special handheld imaging tool during surgery to better check the edges (“margins”) of bowel removed for Crohn’s disease in the ileum/near the cecum. It may help surgeons ensure they remove the right tissue and potentially improve surgical planning.
This study checks whether adding an extra, cross-body “transmural” evaluation (looking at inflammation throughout the bowel) improves care for adults with Crohn’s who are starting or receiving biologic (biotherapy) treatment. It uses close follow-up with stool calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation) to see if this approach helps control inflammation.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
This study tests a new camera system that adds texture and color enhancement to the usual white light during a colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new view helps doctors spot signs of inflammation or early cancer more clearly in people with inflammatory bowel disease.
This trial compares two methods to spot pre-cancerous changes during routine colonoscopy in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One method uses a special light filter (TXI) and the other uses a blue dye spray (chromoendoscopy) to see if TXI works as well or better.
