Comparing healing signs in ulcerative colitis tissue samples
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at different ways to measure healing in the gut lining of people with ulcerative colitis, using samples from previous checkups. It aims to find the best way to tell if treatment is working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis through standard tests (including a scope and tissue sample).
- You have had a follow-up visit with a scope and tissue sample to check healing.
- Your doctors have enough information from your records.

This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
This trial uses a gentle ultrasound scan (on the outside of the body) to see how well treatment is working during a moderate to severe flare of ulcerative colitis. It aims to find out if this painless test can predict recovery and help guide care without needing a telescope exam (endoscopy).
This study looks for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.
This study looks at new ways to detect scarring (fibrosis) in the bowel using advanced imaging and tests. It may help doctors better understand and monitor ulcerative colitis. If you are already having a colonoscopy, you may be able to join.
This study looks at blood and/or tissue “molecular” (cell-level) reasons why treatments don’t fully work in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. If you are starting a biologic or small-molecule medicine and still have moderate to severe symptoms, you may be able to contribute to research that helps improve future care.
This study compares different special camera techniques during colonoscopy to see which best finds early abnormal (pre-cancer) changes in people with long-term ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors improve how they screen and monitor your colon over time.
