Predicting return of Crohn's disease after bowel surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens to people with Crohn's disease after they have surgery to remove a diseased part of their intestine. The goal is to find patterns or signs that might help predict whether the disease will come back, which could help doctors plan better follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a part of your intestine because of complications like narrowing or fistulas, or because medical treatments haven't worked.
- Your medical records are complete enough to track your disease history and any signs of disease returning after surgery.

This trial compares different biologic medications to see which best prevents Crohn's disease from coming back after intestinal surgery. It may help you if you have had surgery for Crohn's and are starting a biologic drug soon after.
This study tests a new oral treatment called EXL01 to see if it can prevent Crohn's disease from coming back after surgery to remove part of the small and large intestine. It may be an option if you are not planning to use strong immune-suppressing drugs (except anti-TNF) in the next 6 months.
This trial tests if checking a stool marker (fecal calprotectin) early after surgery can guide treatment with ustekinumab to prevent Crohn's disease from coming back. It's for people who had certain bowel surgery and have at least one risk factor for recurrence.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut may affect scar tissue (fibrosis) and the immune system in people with Crohn's disease. By comparing tissue samples from people with and without Crohn's, researchers hope to understand why some people develop narrowing or blockages, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests whether a glycan supplement can prevent Crohn's disease from coming back after surgery to remove the diseased part of the small and large intestine. It may help people who have had this specific surgery and are not taking certain other treatments.
This trial tests a specific way of cutting the bowel during surgery for Crohn's disease to see if it lowers the chance of the disease coming back. It is for people with Crohn's in the ileocecal area who are having their first surgery to remove that section.
