IBD study for those at higher risk
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Skin clinical trials.
This study watches people who might be more likely to get Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). It looks at close family members of IBD patients, people with autoimmune diseases, and those with certain digestive issues who also have a specific blood marker (ASCA). The goal is to find early signs and possibly prevent the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people who have a parent, sibling, or child with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to help understand why some family members develop the condition. If you are 14 or older and do not already have IBD, you may be able to join.
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.
This trial looks at how to diagnose Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in people who have just been diagnosed. It may help find better ways to detect and manage the condition.
This study looks at what factors help predict how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may progress over time. You may be able to join if you are an adult with IBD and fit one of the study groups based on whether you have used TNF-blocking medicines before.
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 looks at healthy family members of people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to find early signs of these conditions before symptoms appear. It may help doctors predict and prevent inflammatory bowel disease.
