The MUSIC study is an observational study where participants are followed up closely every 3 months for a year.
During this follow-up period, extra blood and stool samples are taken for scientific analyses. Participants will also be offered an extra colonoscopy to check for mucosal healing.
We hope that this study will unlock new scientific insights into inflammatory bowel disease.
We want to investigate how damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or ‘danger signals’ can be used as a biomarker test for patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
We are looking for patients:
This is a 12-month follow-up study which will involve appointments at 3 monthly intervals. We plan to closely monitor your clinical progress in line with the scientific work which we will carry out.
During the follow-up period, we will be gathering information on how you are doing and this information will be shared with your treating NHS clinician.
This may allow them to make treatment adjustments and check on how you're doing more closely than usual. For full details, please read the patient information sheet linked here.
