Recruiting studies
- NCT07257588Enrolling by invitation

Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07229950RecruitingPhase 2
Experimental tablet for moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis
This trial tests an experimental tablet, HRS-7085, for people with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis who haven't gotten enough help from standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05615779Recruiting
Personalized fiber (B-fructan) diet for inflammatory bowel disease
This trial tests whether a tailored diet high in B-fructans can improve inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or IBD-unclassified) in people in mild-to-moderate remission. It may help your gut and reduce bowel inflammation, and it involves colonoscopy and sample collection.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 6–39 - 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 - NCT07198113Recruiting
Comparing newer treatments for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
This study is for children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, colitis, or indeterminate) whose previous anti-TNF medicine stopped working. It compares several newer treatments to see which works best.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 1–18 - 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+ - NCT04030676Recruiting
Test for CMV reactivation risk during ulcerative colitis flare
This study checks whether a blood test (QuantiFERON-CMV, related to prior CMV infection) can predict if CMV might reactivate during a severe ulcerative colitis flare. It may help doctors spot people at higher risk and potentially guide monitoring and treatment during hospitalization.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07166588Enrolling by invitation
Precision medicine study for inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at using precision medicine to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in people who are newly diagnosed or already being monitored. It aims to find better ways to manage the condition.
Seoul, SeoulAges 10 years+ - NCT07168499Recruiting
Diet, stress, and advanced therapy for Crohn's and colitis
This study tests whether adding a diet and stress management program to standard advanced therapy helps people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis feel better. It combines lifestyle changes with new medications to improve treatment outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06954311Recruiting
Drug monitoring for children with IBD
This study monitors levels of certain medications (infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab) in children with inflammatory bowel disease to see if adjusting the dose helps them feel better. It aims to improve treatment outcomes.
FeldkirchAges birth–18 years - 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+ - NCT05733845Recruiting
Study of why some bowel inflammation treatments don’t work
This study looks at blood and/or tissue “molecular” (cell-level) reasons why treatments don’t fully work in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. If you are starting a biologic or small-molecule medicine and still have moderate to severe symptoms, you may be able to contribute to research that helps improve future care.
Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, CHRU de NancyAges 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 - NCT07132333Recruiting
Personalized inflammation study for chronic conditions
This study uses advanced testing to understand inflammation in people with certain chronic inflammatory diseases, such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, other types of arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease. The goal is to tailor treatment to your specific needs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for colitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 308 recruiting colitis 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 colitis 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 colitis 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.
