Crohn’s Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term for two conditions (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Inflammation affects the entire digestive tract in Crohn’s disease and only the large intestine (also called the colon) in ulcerative colitis
Crohn’s symptoms can be constant and isolating. Our new clinical studies are investigating potential treatment options.
