Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT05287126RecruitingPhase 2
Etrasimod for teens with active ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether etrasimod can improve ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms in adolescents with moderate to severe, active disease. It may help reduce inflammation and disease activity, especially if current treatments aren’t working well enough.
Abilene, TexasAges 12–17 - NCT05076175RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Oral ozanimod for children with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether an oral medicine called ozanimod can improve ulcerative colitis (UC) in children whose disease is moderate to severe. It’s meant for kids who didn’t fully respond—or couldn’t tolerate—standard UC treatments.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 2–17 - NCT04372108Recruiting
Long-term safety study for ustekinumab vs other biologics
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis to compare the long-term safety of ustekinumab against other biologic medicines. It may help show how safe these treatments are over time, using medical records.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04373473RecruitingPhase 2
Oral stool treatment to prevent ulcerative colitis flare-ups
This study tests whether taking freeze-dried (lyophilized) donor stool material by mouth can help prevent ulcerative colitis from coming back or causing intestinal inflammation. Participants are in remission and stay on their usual treatment while receiving the study product.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04038619RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for immune-therapy diarrhea or bowel inflammation
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04617184Recruiting
Join an inflammatory bowel disease registry and sample bank
This study asks people with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease to enroll in a registry and biorepository. It helps researchers better understand the condition using health information and stored biological samples.
Austin, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT07686757Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Study of mirikizumab for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
This study tests a new medicine called mirikizumab for people with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who have not responded well to other treatments. It aims to see if mirikizumab can help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Cedar Park, TexasAges 21 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06807593RecruitingPhase 2
Treating ICI-related diarrhea or colitis with ustekinumab
This trial tests if ustekinumab can help cancer patients who have diarrhea or colitis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors. It may be an option if standard treatments haven't worked or aren't suitable.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06663332RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of guselkumab in children who previously took it
This study is a long-term follow-up for children who have already finished an earlier study of guselkumab, a medicine for skin conditions like psoriasis. It looks at whether staying on the medicine continues to be safe and helpful over time.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 3 years+ - NCT06571669Recruiting
Nerve stimulation device for ulcerative colitis
This trial tests a new medical device called BOOM-IBD2 that uses gentle nerve stimulation to treat ulcerative colitis. It's for people who have not had UC surgery and do not have certain infections or other implanted devices.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18–85 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02523118Recruiting
Measuring symptoms and test results in eosinophilic gut diseases
This study looks at how eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus and intestines affects outcomes like symptoms and test findings. It may help clinicians better understand these conditions and track what changes over time.
Houston, TexasAges 3 years+ - NCT05230173Recruiting
Treat to endoscopic remission in inflammatory bowel disease
This study tests whether switching to a different treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can achieve healing of the gut lining. It is for people whose symptoms are under control but who still have significant inflammation in their bowel.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04751396Recruiting
Melanoma education for people with autoimmune conditions
This trial tests an educational tool to help people with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune disease understand immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. It aims to support you and your care team with information that can help you make decisions and feel more prepared.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18–99 - NCT01868373Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Fecal transplant study for hard-to-treat C. difficile diarrhea
This Phase 1 study tests defined fecal microbiota (healthy gut bacteria) given to people with C. difficile diarrhea that didn’t go away or came back soon after antibiotics. It may help by restoring a healthier balance of gut bacteria so the infection can stop recurring.

What taking part in a colitis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there colitis clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 43 recruiting colitis studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a colitis study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a colitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New colitis studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
