Fermented foods diet for ulcerative colitis symptoms
This study tests whether adding fermented foods to your diet can improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It also looks at people with intestinal inflammation markers to see if diet changes may help them feel better.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03756649Enrolling by invitation
IBD biobank study for adults and young adults
This study collects and stores information and samples from people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to help researchers learn more and improve care. Your participation mainly helps build a “biobank,” which can support future studies.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT03615690Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet test for ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a “fasting-mimicking diet” can improve mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. You would follow the study diet plan and be monitored to see if symptoms and disease activity change.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT02997293Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after colorectal surgery care program
This study looks at whether a structured “enhanced recovery” plan around the time of colorectal surgery improves outcomes. Because it focuses on a specific group of surgeries done at a specific hospital during certain dates, it may be mainly for people whose surgeries match those records.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT01650311Recruiting
Study how serotonin signals work in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how the body’s serotonin system behaves in people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, compared with healthy people. It may help researchers understand disease biology and why symptoms can differ from person to person.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 19–85 - NCT07111715Recruiting
AI vs. standard reading for suspected Crohn disease
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors find signs of Crohn's disease better than standard reading of capsule endoscopy images. It is for people who have symptoms that might be Crohn's but whose colonoscopy didn't clearly show the problem.
Brescia, BresciaAges 18–75 - NCT07750535Recruiting
Liver fat and scarring in wheat-sensitive patients
This study looks at whether people with non-celiac wheat sensitivity or other digestive conditions have more fat in their liver or liver scarring. It aims to understand if wheat-related issues are linked to liver health.
Palermo, PalermoAges 18–65 - NCT06104631Recruiting
Testing a treatment for IBS-like symptoms in Crohn's remission
This study tests whether a new treatment can reduce IBS-like symptoms, such as belly pain and bloating, in people whose Crohn's disease is in remission. It aims to improve your quality of life without targeting active Crohn's inflammation.
LiègeAges 18–75 - NCT07820696Recruiting
Laxative before colon surgery for easier operation
This study tests whether taking a laxative before planned colon surgery makes the surgery easier for the surgeon, which might lead to a smoother recovery. If you are scheduled for this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Van, VanAges 18 years+ - NCT07387185Recruiting
AI system for detecting chronic gut diseases
This trial tests an AI system to help detect and describe chronic diseases of the small intestine. If you are an adult having a small bowel endoscopy or capsule endoscopy, you may be able to join.
Pavia, PVAges 18 years+ - NCT07360938Recruiting
How inflammation affects drug processing
This study looks at how inflammation from conditions like diabetes, IBD, or kidney disease affects the way drugs work in the body. It may help improve dosing and safety for patients with these conditions.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 12–99 - NCT06215222Recruiting
Studying gut bacteria in IBS and digestive issues
This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07421011RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing two forms of a drug for healthy volunteers
This study tests two different versions of a drug called Trimedat to see if they work the same way in the body. It is for healthy volunteers to understand how the drug is absorbed and if it is safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–45 - NCT07261826Recruiting
Long-term effects of fecal microbiota transplant
This study looks at how well fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) works over time and checks its safety. If you have received at least one FMT for a qualifying condition, you may be able to participate.
