Bacteria and gut health after Crohn's surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific gut bacterium, Pilosibacter rotomagensis, affects inflammation in the intestine after surgery for Crohn's disease. Understanding this may help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had surgery to remove the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine (ileocecal resection) because of Crohn's disease.
- At the time of that surgery, your Crohn's disease was only in the last part of the small intestine (ileum).
- You do not have active Crohn's disease in other parts of your digestive system, like the colon or perineal area, within a month after surgery.
- You have not taken antibiotics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, like ibuprofen) in the 28 days before providing a stool sample.
- You do not have cancer of the digestive tract and you are not pregnant.

This study looks at how an environmental factor may be linked to Crohn’s disease, especially around the time you need certain bowel surgery. Your experience may help researchers understand risk and how it relates to your gut health.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change after surgery to reconnect the intestines (anastomosis). It may help doctors understand complications and improve recovery.
This study tests whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria into people who have had part of their colon removed can improve recovery. It may help prevent infections or other complications after surgery.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in your gut (microbiota) affect how your intestine adapts after surgery for short bowel syndrome. It aims to understand this process to potentially improve treatments for people with this condition.
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease who need surgery to remove the ileocecal area. It aims to better understand post-operative outcomes and what to expect after the operation.
This study analyzes your gut bacteria to see if it can predict how well you will respond to Crohn's disease treatments. If you are having a colonoscopy for routine care, you may be eligible.
