Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05321745Recruiting
Fecal transplant for children with Crohn’s disease
This trial tests whether transferring stool microbes (called fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve Crohn’s disease in children who have not gotten better with usual treatments. If you qualify, the study will check symptoms and colon imaging/score changes over the study follow-up.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 2–16 - NCT05321758Recruiting
Stool transplant as first treatment for kids with Crohn’s
This study tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from stool into the colon can work as a first treatment for children newly diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease. It may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms, and it requires regular colonoscopy to monitor progress.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 2–16 - NCT05043870RecruitingPhase 4
Testing medicines that calm the immune system in kids with Crohn’s
This trial studies a combination of immune-suppressing treatments for children with Crohn’s disease that is not well controlled. It may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms if you meet the study’s disease-activity and safety requirements.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–18 - NCT03915262Recruiting
Active Crohn’s patients with possible pancreas enzyme problems
This study looks at how often people with active Crohn’s disease also have trouble digesting food because the pancreas may not release enough enzymes (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency). It may help doctors better recognize this hidden problem in people whose Crohn’s is currently active.
Pierre-BéniteAges 18 years+ - NCT04263831RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Low-dose IL-2 to treat Crohn’s disease flare-ups
This trial tests a low dose of IL-2 to reduce inflammation and help control Crohn’s disease symptoms. It’s for people whose Crohn’s disease hasn’t responded to at least one standard treatment or who need steroids to stay under control.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12–80 - NCT04224558RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell transplant for hard-to-control Crohn’s disease
This early-phase study tests whether a stem cell transplant can improve Crohn’s disease in teens and young adults whose disease is active and not responding to standard medicines. It may help some people who are not doing well despite several prior treatments, but it also involves intensive study procedures and safety checks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 13–28 - NCT03983473Recruiting
Testing stool samples to find gut bacteria markers in inflammatory arthritis
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to see whether gut bacteria patterns can help identify certain inflammatory arthritis conditions in people who have Crohn’s disease or axial spondyloarthritis. It’s mainly about matching stool “biomarkers” to diagnoses, which may help doctors recognize these conditions more accurately in the future.
Nancy, LorraineAges 18 years+ - NCT03219359RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant using your own cells for Crohn’s flare
This Phase 2 study tests whether a transplant using your own stem cells can calm active Crohn’s disease that hasn’t improved with standard medicines. It may help some people with ongoing inflammation and symptoms after multiple Crohn’s treatments.
