Recruiting studies
- 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.

Decatur, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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.

Physical activity for teens with IBD
This study looks at what helps or stops teenagers with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) from being physically active. It involves completing questionnaires and an interview to understand your experience.
NiceAges 10–17 - NCT07385807Recruiting
Gut health and pregnancy in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at gut health in pregnant women with and without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It tracks a protein called calprotectin in stool samples, along with diet and baby health, to learn how IBD affects pregnancy and infant development.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT02791854Enrolling by invitation
Improving Care for Adults With Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis
This trial looks at ways to improve care for adults living with inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. You may be invited if your clinic is part of an inflammatory bowel disease care network called IBD Qorus.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT07436910Enrolling by invitation
Quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease
This study asks people with inflammatory bowel disease to fill out questionnaires about their quality of life. It aims to learn how the condition affects daily living and well-being.
CairoAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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.

- Are there clinical trials for bowel disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 283 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.
