Body composition study for inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at body composition (fat and muscle) in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It tests if a new way to monitor body changes can help guide treatment with biologic or JAK inhibitor medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis for more than 3 months.
- Your disease is currently moderate to severe and your doctor plans to start you on a biologic or JAK inhibitor medicine.
- You have not had major bowel surgery (except for a small part of the ileum removed).
- You do not have active perianal disease or a bowel stricture needing treatment.
- You do not drink more than 1 standard drink of alcohol per day or exercise very intensely more than 3 days a week.

This study looks at how nutrition affects people with IBD who are starting a new treatment or having surgery. Researchers want to find out if diet or body changes influence how well you recover.
This study looks at muscle strength and muscle mass in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to understand how IBD affects muscles, which can help improve patient care.
This study looks at changes in fats (lipids) in the blood and the lining of the gut in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help researchers understand IBD better and find new ways to treat it.
This study tests if a personalized exercise program, guided by a wearable device, can help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who also have weight issues, muscle problems, or anxiety. It aims to improve overall health and well-being.
This study tests whether combining a specific diet with biologic medicines can reduce active inflammation and symptoms of Crohn’s disease. It may help people who still have active disease in the bowel despite prior care.
This trial studies whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet can improve inflammatory bowel disease (including mild to moderate Crohn’s). It may help by testing changes in gut inflammation measured by your symptoms and stool tests.
