What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients with Crohn's disease who are scheduled for ileocecal resection. It aims to collect extensive clinical and biological data to better understand factors influencing post-operative recurrence of the disease. Patients will undergo surgery, and various samples will be collected for analysis, including blood and biopsies. The study will also track clinical outcomes through endoscopic examinations scheduled after surgery to assess recurrence risk.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease requiring ileocecal resection.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of dysplasia or cancer in the ileum or colon, or those who are pregnant, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for Crohn's disease patients, potentially reducing the risk of post-operative recurrence.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in understanding post-operative outcomes in Crohn's disease, but this study's comprehensive approach to integrating clinical and biological data is relatively novel.
