Read our Crohn Disease research guide →This research study is looking at how doctors currently treat anal complications (infections and drainage issues) that occur in people with Crohn's disease. The study will follow 440 patients who are receiving standard drainage procedures and medical treatments to see which combinations of medications, antibiotics, and surgical approaches work best and help people heal most completely.
Doctors notice that even when patients feel better, imaging scans often show that infections haven't fully healed underneath. This study exists to understand which treatment strategies—combining medications, antibiotics, and surgery in different ways—actually lead to complete healing and better long-term outcomes for patients.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive standard medical treatment for your anal complications, which may include medications, antibiotics, and drainage or surgical procedures that your doctor already planned for you. Throughout your treatment, the research team would collect information about how you're doing, track your healing with imaging scans like MRI, and follow you over time to see which treatment approaches lead to the best outcomes. The study will be tracking your medical care and outcomes rather than asking you to try something experimental.
