Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07185009RecruitingPhase 3
Testing duvakitug for long-term ulcerative colitis control
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called duvakitug in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It is for those who have already responded well to treatment in a previous study and need ongoing care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 16–80 - NCT03615690Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet test for ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a “fasting-mimicking diet” can improve mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. You would follow the study diet plan and be monitored to see if symptoms and disease activity change.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT03804931RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Stool transplant for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether transplanting stool bacteria into the colon (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve ulcerative colitis symptoms in people with active, moderate to severe disease. If you qualify, the study team will also check that it’s safe for you and that you can safely undergo a scope exam.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT04043897RecruitingPhase 2
Oral rifaximin for active microscopic colitis flare
This trial tests whether an oral antibiotic called rifaximin can improve symptoms during a microscopic colitis flare. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose colitis was confirmed by colon biopsy.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04121806Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 321 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.
