Tracking colon growths in inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy to check for abnormal cells in the colon. The goal is to learn more about these growths and how likely they are to become cancer over time, which could help improve future monitoring and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis that has been present for more than 8 years (or at least 1 year if you also have primary sclerosing cholangitis)
- Your Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis affects a large part of your colon
- You are scheduled for a screening colonoscopy to check for abnormal cells
- You are able to participate and have agreed to join the study

This trial compares how well different combinations of drugs calm inflammation in the gut compared to single drugs. It uses tissue samples taken during a colonoscopy to see which approach works best for people with inflammatory bowel disease.
This study tests a new way to monitor ulcerative colitis using stool tests and colonoscopy to detect early signs of cancer. It may help doctors manage long-term ulcerative colitis more safely.
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 whether taking random biopsies during a routine colonoscopy is helpful for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at risk for colon cancer. It aims to understand if random biopsies can detect early signs of cancer or pre-cancer.
This study looks at proteins from your body and gut bacteria to understand Crohn's disease better. You may join if you are about to have your first colonoscopy for suspected Crohn's and have not had any treatment yet.
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.
