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.

- 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).

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 how diet affects inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It may help understand if certain foods can improve symptoms.
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 follows people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who may be taking immunosuppressants (medicines that calm the immune system). Researchers will track how the disease progresses and look at factors like gut bacteria to find ways to predict complications.
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.
This study looks at how fats in your blood and gut lining change in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It might help doctors understand IBD better and could lead to better treatments.
