Recruiting studies
- NCT07619547Recruiting
Bowel disease immune system study
This study is looking at how the immune system works in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Tests anal function in people with inflammatory bowel disease
This study checks how well the anal area works in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), even when your bowel disease is “in remission” but you may still have symptoms. It may help doctors better understand the cause of ongoing problems and guide future care.
ÖrebroAges 18–65 - NCT03589183Recruiting
Gut microbiome study for ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease
This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria (the microbiome) relate to inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. It may help researchers understand what might improve symptoms or disease control.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT03809728Recruiting
Finding blood tests linked to outcomes in Crohn’s and colitis
This study looks for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.

Screening for high cholesterol in children with chronic conditions
This study screens children and teens with certain chronic conditions (like heart defects or inflammatory bowel disease) for early signs of high cholesterol or other lipid problems. The goal is to find and manage these risks sooner.
JenaAges 6–18 - NCT07670988Recruiting
Kidney health in kids with inflammatory bowel disease
This study checks if children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more likely to have kidney problems. Researchers will look at medical records to compare kidney health in kids with IBD and those without.
Alessandria, PiedmontAges 2–17 - NCT07644117Recruiting
Personalized Anti-TNF Treatment for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This trial tests a personalized approach to starting anti-TNF therapy—a common treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—in patients who have never taken it before. The goal is to help doctors choose the right anti-TNF medication and dose based on each patient's individual characteristics.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT07582731Recruiting
Video Education to Improve Colonoscopy Preparation in IBD
This study tests whether personalized video lessons tailored to your specific type of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) help you prepare better for a colonoscopy. Better preparation means clearer pictures during the procedure, which helps doctors see your disease more accurately.
Beijing, BeijingBeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07556328Recruiting
Understanding Small-Bowel Disease Through Tissue Analysis
This research study examines tissue samples from your small bowel (the part of your digestive system after your stomach) to better understand celiac disease and related conditions. By studying these samples in detail, researchers hope to improve how doctors diagnose and treat small-bowel diseases.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT06756100Recruiting
Early inflammatory bowel disease study
This trial looks at early signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in adults who have had stomach or bowel symptoms for at least 3 weeks. It aims to understand how the disease progresses.
SantiagoAges 18–100 - NCT07487480Recruiting
Guselkumab for Crohn's after ustekinumab
This study looks at whether guselkumab, a different biologic medicine, can help people with Crohn's disease who have already tried ustekinumab but it didn't work well or caused side effects. It aims to see if switching to guselkumab is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06780683Recruiting
Testing upadacitinib for inflammatory bowel disease
This study tests a medication called upadacitinib for people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's). The goal is to see how well it works and if it's safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT07471490Enrolling by invitation
Stool test study for inflammatory bowel disease vs. irritable bowel syndrome
This study collects stool samples and health information to help develop a new test that may tell the difference between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If you have not been diagnosed with a chronic gut disorder, you may be able to join.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 2 years+ - NCT07456566Recruiting
Self-management help for inflammatory bowel disease

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for bowel disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 275 recruiting bowel disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a bowel disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a bowel disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
