Recruiting studies
- NCT03953768Recruiting
Testing a new vagus nerve stimulator for gut and immune health
This study looks at what happens to your immune system and stomach/gut function after getting a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for the first time for epilepsy. It may help doctors understand whether the device benefits more than seizures.

Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06606808RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging risankizumab in inflammatory bowel disease
This trial tests a new imaging method using a special dye (risankizumab-800CW) to see how risankizumab, a medicine for inflammatory bowel disease, works in the bowel. The goal is to better understand the medicine's effects and help doctors tailor treatments.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07686406Recruiting
IBD biomarker discovery study
This study collects blood, stool, tissue, and health information from people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), their relatives, and healthy volunteers to find patterns that may help diagnose or treat IBD better in the future.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 14 years+ - NCT03972956Recruiting
Collecting samples during cancer or surgery visits
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07289672Enrolling by invitation
Food limits in Crohn's and colitis
This study looks at how diet affects people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who have moderate inflammation. It aims to understand if certain foods make symptoms worse or better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216014RecruitingPhase 4
IL-23 antibody for inflammatory bowel disease
This trial tests a new antibody drug (IL-23 inhibitor) for people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective. You may be able to join if you have moderate to severe disease and have not had certain bowel surgeries or infections.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07647640Recruiting
Tracking flare-ups with your smartwatch
This study tests whether data from your own smartwatch or smartphone can help detect when your Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis flares up. If you join, you'll use your own device, and no extra equipment will be provided.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05251415Recruiting
Study of rare autoimmune diseases with blood and medical samples
This trial collects clinical and lab information (like blood and medical history) from people with rare autoimmune diseases, especially when symptoms are unusual. It aims to better understand what causes these illnesses and how newer treatments may help.
ToulouseAges 6–99 - NCT05573542Enrolling by invitation
Study early Parkinson signs in people with IBS
This study looks for early clues of Parkinson’s disease in people who have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and compares them with people without IBS. The goal is to understand whether gut symptoms or test results can help spot Parkinson’s earlier.
ÖrebroAges 18–85 - NCT06288464Recruiting
Fiber in tube feeding to improve gut health
This trial tests adding fiber to liquid food given through a stoma before stoma reversal surgery. The goal is to see if it helps improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut.
Preston, LancashireAges 18 years+ - NCT06940596Recruiting
Comparing diets and therapies for irritable bowel syndrome
This study compares different dietary and behavioral treatments to find out which works best for different people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You'll be asked to follow a specific treatment program to see how it affects your symptoms.

Study of upadacitinib in adults with IBD in Belgium
This study looks at how adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are doing after taking upadacitinib (Rinvoq) for at least 12 months. It helps doctors understand treatment patterns and outcomes in real-world settings.

Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–64 - NCT07539727Recruiting
Intestinal ultrasound to predict Crohn's disease flare-ups
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT01731665Recruiting
Study of Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis in Seoul
This study looks at how inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) affects people in a specific area of Seoul. It mainly focuses on describing patterns and health needs rather than testing a new drug.

- 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.
