Crohn’s disease clinical trials in Pennsylvania
We’re tracking 34 recruiting crohn’s disease studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06937099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing two drugs for Crohn's with weight issues
This trial tests two study drugs, mirikizumab and tirzepatide, in people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who also have overweight or obesity. The goal is to see if these treatments can help control Crohn's symptoms and inflammation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - NCT06918808RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell therapy for Crohn's fistula healing
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (called DB-3Q bmMSC-EVs) can help heal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It's for people who have already tried other treatments and still have actively draining fistulas.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06216899Recruiting
Liquid diet study for new Crohn's in kids and teens
This study tests a special liquid diet (smoothie) to treat newly diagnosed Crohn's disease in children and young adults. It aims to understand how the diet works and if it can help reduce inflammation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–21 - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 1–18 - 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18–99 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02636517Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Fecal microbiome transplant for repeat C. difficile infection
This Phase 1 study tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (a fecal microbiome transplant) can help children with repeated or moderate-to-severe C. difficile infection. It focuses on changing gut bacteria to reduce ongoing infection and symptoms.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 3–21 - NCT04243525Recruiting
Inflammatory bowel disease patient research registry
This study is a research registry that collects information from adults receiving care for inflammatory bowel disease at UPMC. It may help researchers better understand bowel disease and improve future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Harrisburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426003Recruiting
Healthy volunteer nutrition study with a special drink
This study looks at how healthy adults digest a special nutritional drink. Researchers want to understand normal digestion to help improve care for people with feeding tubes.

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 Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 34 recruiting crohn’s disease studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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.
Not the right time?
New crohn’s disease studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
