This trial tests an artificial-intelligence support tool that helps surgeons make decisions during surgery for rectal cancer. If you qualify, the tool may be used alongside the surgical team to support safer, more effective care.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–85 - NCT05224089RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing shot comparison for pain control in laparoscopic colon surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (a longer-acting option versus standard numbing) placed near nerves to help control pain during laparoscopic colon surgery. It looks to see which method works better and is safe for patients having planned surgery.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05228431RecruitingPhase 2
Tested treatment plan for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at a modified “sandwich” treatment sequence for people with locally advanced rectal cancer—aiming to control the cancer before and after surgery. It may help you if you’re eligible and can follow the study’s treatment and safety requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05266807RecruitingPhase 3
Capsule fecal transplant to prevent C. difficile coming back
This study tests whether taking a capsule form of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can help adults with their first C. difficile infection—or a first relapse—get better and reduce repeat episodes. Participants also take specific antibiotics for C. difficile as part of the study process.
Basel, BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05387031Recruiting
Ustekinumab for painful Crohn’s bowel narrowing
This trial tests ustekinumab, a medicine that calms immune inflammation, to see if it can improve symptoms in people with Crohn’s disease that causes bowel narrowing. It may help if your Crohn’s symptoms come from strictures (narrowed areas) seen on scans or endoscopy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05431530Recruiting
Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05439993RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tepotinib plus paclitaxel for MET-altered stomach cancer
This trial tests whether tepotinib combined with paclitaxel can treat stomach or gastroesophageal (GEJ) cancer that has spread and has specific MET gene changes. It may help by blocking the MET pathway that can drive tumor growth after standard chemotherapy.
Gyeonggi-doAges Any age - NCT05502965Recruiting
Diet pattern trial for Crohn’s after bowel surgery
This study tests whether a specific diet after Crohn’s surgery can help you recover and stay well. It compares outcomes in people who can follow an exact diet plan after bowel resection.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 14 years+ - NCT05646511RecruitingPhase 3
New chemotherapy timing tests for locally advanced rectal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations given with surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. It aims to find out which approach works better and is safer for shrinking and controlling the cancer before or around the time of treatment.
ChibaAges 18 years+ - NCT05660746RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Infliximab dose tailored to control Crohn’s inflammation
This trial tests a more precise way to start infliximab (a Crohn’s medicine) and adjust dosing based on how your body responds. It aims to better control Crohn’s inflammation early and keep it under control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 6–22 - NCT05676190Recruiting
Cell therapy using your own immune cells for colorectal cancer
This trial studies an immune cell treatment made from your own blood cells to treat colorectal cancer that has spread or progressed. You may be eligible if you have stage III–IV disease that can be measured on scans and if standard treatments have not worked or couldn’t be tolerated.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05706779RecruitingPhase 2
Encorafenib plus cetuximab before surgery for BRAF-mutated colon cancer
This trial tests whether giving encorafenib and cetuximab before surgery can shrink or control BRAF-mutated colon or upper rectal cancer and make surgery more effective. It also checks whether this approach is safe and helps patients do better overall.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05715684Recruiting
Pre-surgery preparation program for people having bladder removal
This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT05805436RecruitingPhase 4

Clermont-FerrandAges 18–65 - NCT05837897RecruitingPhase 3
Vedolizumab for adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s
This Phase 3 study tests whether vedolizumab can better control moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease in adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with other treatments. You’d need to meet specific symptom scores, recent colonoscopy findings, and safety checks (including infections and vaccination status).

Low-sulfur diet study for Crohn’s symptoms when disease is quiet
This pilot study tests whether a low-sulfur diet can improve ongoing belly pain and/or diarrhea symptoms in people with Crohn’s disease that looks “quiet” on tests. If you still feel symptoms even though inflammation is not active, this could help by targeting diet-related triggers.
