Inflammatory markers and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers can help measure disease activity in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It involves reviewing medical records and may include a colonoscopy if you have one done as part of your routine care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
- You must not have an active infection, cancer, or other inflammatory/autoimmune disease.
- You must not have significant blood, kidney, or liver problems.
- You must not have had major surgery recently and must not be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for specific body signals (called mitochondrial “DAMPs”) that may reflect active inflammation in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It also checks how these markers relate to what doctors see during colonoscopy or flexible scope exams, to help understand inflammation and potentially guide future care.
This study looks for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.
This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
This study looks at certain blood cell markers (platelets) in people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's) to see if these markers relate to disease activity. It may help doctors better understand and monitor your condition.
This study tests whether a substance in your urine can help measure how active your ulcerative colitis is. Researchers hope this simple urine test might become a useful tool to track your disease without more invasive procedures.
This study tests non-invasive tools to find active inflammation in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You may need to give extra stool samples before your colonoscopy and calprotectin test.
