CHAMP GI: A remote tube weaning study using CHAMP® App
This study is for children who are: • Ages 1 month to 5 years 11 months • Approved for tube weaning by Children's Mercy Interdisciplinary Feeding Clinic providers The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of data collection while at home and using the CHAMP® App during a...
This study is for children who are: • Ages 1 month to 5 years 11 months • Approved for tube weaning by Children's Mercy Interdisciplinary Feeding Clinic providers The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of data collection while at home and using the CHAMP® App during a feeding tube weaning period. Tube weaning can be a stressful time, and researchers are interested in finding ways to make the experience better. Researchers are trying to learn if the CHAMP App would be a helpful tool for parents and providers to support monitoring children that are tube feeding because of feeding difficulties.
Colectomy for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP): A study of tissue samples to understand bacteria in the gut
This study is currently enrolling patients who: • Are ages 7 to 20 years • Have been diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis • Have been referred to colectomy within 12 months of surveillance colonoscopy...
This study is currently enrolling patients who: • Are ages 7 to 20 years • Have been diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis • Have been referred to colectomy within 12 months of surveillance colonoscopy Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an inherited syndrome where polyps develop in the gut and will become cancerous. The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the relationship between bacteria in the gut and polyps. Being in this study involves the participant providing a stool sample and a blood sample. The parent/guardian will also give the study team permission to take tissue samples from their child's colon once it has been removed.
Colonoscopy with or without Polyposis: Tissue samples collected for research on cancer prevention and treatment
This study is currently enrolling patients who: • Are ages 1 month to 21 years • Have been diagnosed with polyposis, either clinically or through genetic testing with adenomas found on colonoscopy...
This study is currently enrolling patients who: • Are ages 1 month to 21 years • Have been diagnosed with polyposis, either clinically or through genetic testing with adenomas found on colonoscopy The main purpose of this study is to use normal tissues (not polyps) and non-normal tissues (polyps) to test candidate drugs or compounds against and ensure there is not significant toxicity to these normal cells. A study participant will have biopsies of tissue collected from different locations in their intestinal tract. The tissues will be stored in a way that allows cell to grow and multiply. The cell lines that potentially grow will be used to test the toxicity of the drugs or compounds that are being tested to see if they possibly help tissue affected by polyposis.
Gastroenterology Repository: A tool used to collect information for future and current research
This study is enrolling patients age 6 months to 23 years of age who have been seen by a Children's Mercy gastroenterologist or other providers and are undergoing any standard of care procedure or visit at which time samples could be collected for the repository.

Gastrointestinal symptoms: A study of Sucraid® treatment in babies to teens
This study is for children: -6 months to 17 years old -Who may have a diagnosis of CSID -Who have diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas/bloating, and/or nausea...
This study is for children: -6 months to 17 years old -Who may have a diagnosis of CSID -Who have diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas/bloating, and/or nausea. The goal of this study is to look at the effects of a medicine called Sucraid on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in children with different enzyme levels in their GI tract.
Gastrojejunal (G-J Tube): A study on megestrol to transition children to oral feeding
This study is being done for children: • 9 months to 9 years old • Who are dependent on g-tube for at least 80% of daily caloric intake • Have the motor and emotional skills necessary to eat by mouth...
This study is being done for children: • 9 months to 9 years old • Who are dependent on g-tube for at least 80% of daily caloric intake • Have the motor and emotional skills necessary to eat by mouth The goal of this study is to transition children from g-tube to all oral feeding. Study lasts 6 months and includes bi-weekly, remote coaching sessions, 4 in-person visits and a 50% chance of receiving megestrol, a medication used to stimulate appetite.

All patients with a clinical diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, regardless of age, gender, race or ethnicity will be recruited. This is a multi-site registry study through Improve Care Now. Our purpose is to transform the health, care and costs for all children and adolescents with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBD) by building a sustainable collaborative chronic care network.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Transitioning to Adult Care Survey
This study is for: • Those who are diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) • Are between ages 15-22 • Both patients with IBD and their caregivers...
This study is for: • Those who are diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) • Are between ages 15-22 • Both patients with IBD and their caregivers The purpose of this research study is to understand the things that make it difficult for a young person living with IBD to transition from a pediatric GI doctor to an adult GI doctor. By being in this study, it may help researchers learn how to better work with patients moving to adult health care.
