Micro and Nano Plastics in Crohn's Disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This research study investigates whether tiny plastic particles in our bodies are connected to Crohn's disease. Researchers will compare people with Crohn's disease to healthy volunteers to understand this potential link.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease (if you're in the patient group) or no history of Crohn's disease (if you're in the healthy comparison group)
- Not have taken antibiotics or probiotics in the last 4 weeks
- Not be pregnant
- Not have had your large bowel surgically removed
- Be able to understand the study and provide informed consent

This study tests whether a specially designed anti-inflammatory American diet can help control mild to moderate Crohn's Disease symptoms. Participants will follow a diet plan, with guidance from the research team, to see if it reduces inflammation and improves quality of life.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (called microplastics) are found in the guts of children with and without inflammatory bowel disease. By analyzing samples taken during a routine endoscopy, researchers hope to learn if these particles might play a role in the disease.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are found in the ileum, colon, and rectum of people having bowel surgery, and if they are linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
This research examines whether tiny plastic particles in the body are linked to stomach cancer development. Researchers will compare microplastic exposure in people with different stages of stomach issues—from inflammation to early changes to cancer—to understand if plastics play a role.
This study looks at how plastics and toxins in the environment might affect inflammation in the gut, especially in pregnant women with Crohn's disease and their families. It will help doctors understand if these chemicals play a role in bowel inflammation during pregnancy.
This study looks at how microbes in your gut might influence scarring (fibrosis) and immune responses in the intestines of people with Crohn's disease. It compares tissue samples from Crohn's patients to those from people without inflammatory bowel disease (like diverticulitis).
