Clinical Trial: Ultrasound-Guided Versus Standard Margin Selection in Ileocecal Resection of Terminal Ileal CD

U.S., July 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07680283) titled 'Ultrasound-Guided Versus Standard Margin Selection in Ileocecal Resection of Terminal Ileal CD' on June 22.

Brief Summary: This is a Phase II, single-center (Cleveland Clinic), two-arm, randomized, parallel-group superiority trial. The two arms will compare IOUS-guided margin selection against standard macroscopic margin selection in patients undergoing ileocolic resection for terminal ileal Crohn's disease. Patients and outcome assessors (pathologists, endoscopists) will be blinded to the intervention arm, while surgeons, by the nature of the intervention, cannot be blinded. Randomization will be computer-generated with concealed al...
