What “cured” would have to mean

Sustained clinical, endoscopic and histologic remission off all therapy, with no relapse over long follow-up.

This is the bar the work aims at. Nothing on this page claims it has been reached.

Readiness gates

  • PASSG1 Program status is current. 0 overdue status entries and 0 unflagged inactive mentions in the gastroenterology dossier.
  • PASSG2 At least 10 verified sources. 10 of 10 seed papers resolved in PubMed.
  • PASSG3 Trials mapped to tracks. 3130 of 3338 trials (93.8%) fall in a track (needs 90%); 28% sit only in the not-yet-classified track (needs 30% or less).
  • PASSG4 Outcome ladder defined. 6 rungs, 4 counted automatically from registered outcomes.
  • PASSG5 Contribution work exists. 638 completed trials past 18 months with no posted results (results-gap queue).
  • PASSG6 Copy is honest. No cure claims and no em dashes in module text.

Research tracks

Every indexed trial is matched to tracks by its registered text. A trial can sit in several tracks; 935 (28%) are not yet classified.

Outcome ladder

Research categories from first signal to the cure bar. Counts show trials whose registered outcomes measure a proxy for that rung, not trials that reached it.

  1. 1Clinical response. Symptoms improve on ongoing therapy.1,107 measuring
  2. 2Clinical remission. Symptoms resolved for a defined period.713 measuring
  3. 3Mucosal healing. Endoscopic or histologic healing.822 measuring
  4. 4Treatment-free remission. Remission maintained after stopping therapy.140 measuring
  5. 5Durable remission candidate. Deep remission off all therapy sustained over long documented follow-up with acceptable safety.not counted
  6. 6Biological cure. Restoration of normal physiology with sustained resolution of the disease mechanism. Requires especially rigorous evidence; nothing here claims it.not counted

Verified program status

  • STATUS UNKNOWN FMT in ulcerative colitis (NCT03273465)

    Registry status unknown, with no update since 2017. It was previously described here as recruiting.
