High-dose vitamin D for kids with IBD on biologic therapy
This trial studies whether giving a higher dose of vitamin D3 helps children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis) who have low vitamin D levels. Participants are already on biologic medicines and will be treated while monitoring blood (and safety) related to vitamin D.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–25 - NCT07314606Recruiting
Diet plus infliximab for kids with Crohn’s
This study tests if a special diet (called CDED) combined with infliximab (a biologic drug) is more effective than infliximab alone for children with newly diagnosed or relapsed moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease. It aims to improve gut healing and reduce inflammation.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 9–17 - NCT07210580Recruiting
Tracking symptoms to improve quality of life for veterans with IBD
This study tests whether a structured approach to tracking symptoms and adjusting care (called measurement-based care) can improve quality of life for veterans with IBD. It is for veterans whose IBD symptoms affect their daily life and who receive care at one of the four participating VA hospitals.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07195123Recruiting
Testing the SMART IBD app for kids with IBD
This study tests whether a smartphone app called SMART IBD can help children with IBD take their medications more consistently. It is for children who are currently missing more than 1 in 7 doses of their daily or weekly IBD medication.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 13–17 - NCT07191106Recruiting
Remote exercise program for inflammatory bowel disease
This study tests whether a remote exercise program, done at home using an app, can improve quality of life for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help if you are motivated to start a gentle physical activity routine and have internet access.
MontfermeilAges 18 years+ - NCT07165470Recruiting
Pre-packaged low-residue diet for IBD colonoscopy prep
This study tests whether a ready-to-eat low-residue diet (a diet that leaves very little waste in your colon) helps people with IBD prepare for a colonoscopy. It may make the prep easier and more effective than standard bowel-cleansing drinks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07167836Enrolling by invitation
Automated care pathway for inflammatory bowel disease
This study uses an automated system to help manage care for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at UT Southwestern. It aims to see if this digital tool can improve treatment and follow-up for patients already taking IBD medications.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06892990Recruiting
Better imaging for inflammation in bowel disease
This trial tests a new imaging technique that may help doctors see inflammation more clearly during colonoscopy in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The technique is called Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI).
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07141238Recruiting
Microplastics in kids with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (called microplastics) are found in the guts of children with and without inflammatory bowel disease. By analyzing samples taken during a routine endoscopy, researchers hope to learn if these particles might play a role in the disease.
GdanskAges Up to 18 years - NCT07113522RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new therapies for Crohn's and colitis
This trial tests new therapies for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It may help if your standard treatments aren't working well enough.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06995170Recruiting
Polyamines and IBD progression study
This study looks at how certain natural chemicals called polyamines relate to the activity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It aims to understand if these chemicals can help predict disease progression.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–65 - NCT06945549Recruiting
New PET scan for inflammatory bowel disease activity
This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see if it can accurately spot inflamed or damaged areas in the intestines of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If it works, it could help doctors track disease activity without relying only on invasive tests.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06805890Recruiting
Tissue repair study in IBD using organoid technology
This study collects tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis during routine colonoscopy or surgery to grow mini-organs (organoids) in the lab. The goal is to learn how the gut heals itself, which could lead to better treatments.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT06722456Enrolling by invitation
Better ways to detect active IBD
This study tests non-invasive tools to find active inflammation in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You may need to give extra stool samples before your colonoscopy and calprotectin test.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06560021Enrolling by invitation
Random biopsies in inflammatory bowel disease surveillance
This trial looks at whether taking random biopsies during a routine colonoscopy is helpful for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at risk for colon cancer. It aims to understand if random biopsies can detect early signs of cancer or pre-cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06548399Recruiting
Bacteria study for IBD patients with ongoing abdominal pain
This study looks at bacteria in your gut that may produce chemicals linked to ongoing pain in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, even when the disease itself is not very active. Researchers want to understand why some people still have moderate to severe abdominal pain even after their inflammation has calmed down.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT06502873Recruiting
Study of colon samples in IBD and healthy people
This study is gathering information from people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and from people without IBD. Researchers will look at samples from the colon to learn more about these conditions.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT06424769Enrolling by invitation
Managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease with Text Message Surveys
This study aims to improve care and reduce health gaps for people with inflammatory bowel disease using text-message surveys to track symptoms and guide better disease management.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 13 years+ - NCT06315179Recruiting
Spatial gene study for inflammatory bowel disease
