Right now, people with Crohn's disease who have had ileostomy surgery are left out of clinical trials for new treatments. This study is creating two new tools to change that: one that doctors can use to measure inflammation during endoscopy, and another that captures what matters most to patients living with an ileostomy. You would help by allowing your routine endoscopy videos to be reviewed and by sharing your experiences in interviews.
Doctors don't yet have the right ways to measure how well treatments work for people with ileostomies from Crohn's disease. By developing these new measurement tools, researchers can finally include this patient population in clinical trials, opening the door to new treatment options.

You would have an ileoscopy (camera exam of your ileostomy) that you're already planning to have as part of your regular care — but the video would be recorded and reviewed by the research team to identify patterns of inflammation. You would also participate in an interview where you talk about your symptoms and what living with an ileostomy means to you. The study involves about 50 people total, and your participation helps create tools that will benefit future Crohn's patients.
