Reported on October 1 in Gastroenterology, researchers sampled gut bacteria from healthy FMT donors and from FMT recipients with ulcerative colitis, identifying the bacterial strains whose transfer correlates with treatment effectiveness. A recent paper published in Nature Microbiology on November 22 finds that antibodies that are secreted in the gut help control the pathogenesis of Candida albicans in healthy individuals and that this protective mechanism may be disabled in people with Crohn’s disease. The latest JRI studies: A new paper published in Nature on December 1 shows a set of immune cells called group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) that normally protect against inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract may have the opposite effect in multiple sclerosis (MS).

However, many times clinical research leads to important medical advances that can benefit participants and future patients.The Jill Roberts Institute for IBD is part of a joint partnership that created Healing Hands: Pediatric GI Patients Describe Their Experience, culminating in an online art exhibition to raise awareness about pediatric gastroenterology-related illness and advocate for pediatric gastroenterology research. The ultimate goal of all clinical research is to cure disease and improve quality of life.Ĭlinical research is not for everyone, and sometimes new drugs or medical devices turn out not to work. Research can also mean comparing healthy volunteers to persons with specific conditions to learn what causes disease. Research can mean studying interventions, such as new medications, to understand them better. It is also possible to do an Advanced Search by typing in “Crohn’s” or “colitis” in the Advanced Search or Phrase field, then click on the Search button.Ĭlinical Research is about improving medicine. Studies specific to Crohn’s and Colitis can be located under two headings:
All clinical trials have been approved by the Institutional Review Board. The site has an up-to-date listing of which studies are currently enrolling, who can participate, where the study will be conducted, what participants will be asked to do as part of the study, whether compensation is offered and who to contact for more information. Created as a tool for the community to learn about clinical and health research opportunities, UMClinicalStudies is a partnership between health researchers and volunteers to find new ways to understand, diagnose and treat diseases. It allows you to view or sign up for studies that are currently recruiting participants. Our easy-to-use UMClinicalStudies connects you to clinical and health research studies at the University of Michigan. At the University of Michigan Health System, we have active a robust clinical studies and research program, which includes opportunities for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
