Building a gut tissue model to study infections
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study uses leftover, healthy tissue from a part of the small intestine (the duodenum) that is removed during surgery. The goal is to grow this tissue in the lab to better understand how infections affect the gut, which could help develop new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery where part of your small intestine (duodenum) is removed.
- The removed tissue includes a healthy portion that can be used for research.
- You agree to let researchers use this tissue, and you sign a consent form.

This study uses tumor samples to create lab-grown mini-livers (organoids) to better understand liver cancer. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and develop new treatments.
This study collects tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis during routine colonoscopy or surgery to grow mini-organs (organoids) in the lab. The goal is to learn how the gut heals itself, which could lead to better treatments.
This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
This study collects tissue samples from people with digestive conditions or cancers during routine procedures like endoscopy or surgery. The samples are used to build models for research, helping researchers better understand these diseases and develop new treatments.
This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This study collects gut tissue (biopsies) and blood to learn how gut germs (microbes) and the immune system interact. It may help researchers understand why gut infections or immune problems happen and improve future treatments.
