Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT06581328RecruitingPhase 4
Study of vedolizumab for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease
This study tests the drug vedolizumab in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. It aims to see how well the medicine works in a community (non-hospital) setting.
Framingham, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07352995Enrolling by invitation
Gut temperature study during colonoscopy
This study uses a special probe to measure temperature inside the colon during a routine colonoscopy. It may help researchers understand conditions like IBD, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07033208Recruiting
Testing a wireless thermal capsule for the digestive tract
This study tests a new wireless capsule that you swallow, like a pill, to measure temperature inside your digestive tract. It is for healthy volunteers to see if the device is safe and works well.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07219537Recruiting
Imaging the lower gut with a new capsule
This trial tests a new type of camera capsule that takes pictures of the lower part of your digestive tract. It may be an option for people who are healthy or have Lynch Syndrome and have had a recent normal colonoscopy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07237516Recruiting
Study of Zymfentra for people with Crohn's or colitis
This study follows adults with inflammatory bowel disease who are starting or switching to Zymfentra. Researchers will track your health over the next year to see how the medicine works in real life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06587828Recruiting
Looking at immune cells in people with autoimmune disease
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with autoimmune diseases like Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, or lupus. Researchers will study your immune cells (T cells) to learn what they are attacking, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03256240Recruiting
Two surgical options for Crohn’s bowel resection
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after surgery in people with Crohn’s disease that affects the small intestine and/or colon. It aims to see which reconnection method works better after the initial surgery, even if you’re on Crohn’s medicines before the operation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - 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.

What taking part in a crohn’s disease 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 crohn’s disease clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 33 recruiting crohn’s disease studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 crohn’s disease study in Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 crohn’s disease 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.
