Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with IBD or digestive tract cancers who are already scheduled for digestive endoscopy or surgery as part of their standard care.

Probably not a fit

Patients not undergoing endoscopy or surgery or without the specified conditions may not benefit from this collection.

What this trial studies

This interventional study focuses on creating a biological collection from patients with IBD and various digestive cancers to develop translational preclinical models. The models use patient tissues and sera to study tumor ecosystems, screen candidate therapies, and predict responses to treatments in a personalized context. The approach aims to address limitations of animal models by using autologous materials to better reflect human disease biology. The study envisions ex vivo tumor modeling and therapy screening to advance understanding and therapeutic development for GI tract diseases.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the collection could accelerate the testing of new treatments tailored to individual patients.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work using patient-derived materials has yielded valuable insights, though translating autologous models to wide clinical practice remains an ongoing area of research.
