Recruiting studies
- NCT05509777RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab for children with active Crohn’s disease

Testing a camera tool to check Crohn’s bowel margins
This study looks at using a special handheld imaging tool during surgery to better check the edges (“margins”) of bowel removed for Crohn’s disease in the ileum/near the cecum. It may help surgeons ensure they remove the right tissue and potentially improve surgical planning.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - 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).
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05849012Recruiting
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.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05906576RecruitingPhase 4
Infliximab monitoring study for children with Crohn’s disease
This study keeps track of how infliximab works and how safe it is in Chinese children with moderate-to-severe active Crohn’s disease. You may be eligible if this is the first time your child is starting infliximab and you agree to provide study information.
BeijingAges 6–17 - NCT05923073RecruitingPhase 3
Guselkumab for children with active Crohn’s disease
This Phase 3 trial tests guselkumab to treat children with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease and ongoing inflammation in the bowel. If you qualify, the study will check whether the medicine can improve symptoms and healing, especially in children who did not respond to other treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–17 - NCT05995353RecruitingPhase 3
Risankizumab for children with moderate to severe Crohn's
This study tests a new medicine called risankizumab for children with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. It is given as an IV infusion or a shot under the skin to see if it can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–17 - NCT06006039Recruiting
Study on immune cells and Crohn's disease recurrence after surgery
This study looks at how certain immune cells relate to Crohn's disease coming back after bowel surgery. The goal is to better understand why some patients have a recurrence, which could help improve future treatments.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06203782Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for Crohn's disease strictures
This trial compares two ways to treat narrowed areas (strictures) in the gut caused by Crohn's disease: endoscopic strictureplasty versus balloon dilation. It aims to see which method works better for people whose strictures are manageable with a scope.
Hangzhou, HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT06227910RecruitingPhase 3
Study of vedolizumab with or without upadacitinib for Crohn's disease
This trial tests combining two medicines, vedolizumab and upadacitinib, to see if they work better together than vedolizumab alone for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease that hasn't responded well to other treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06298188Recruiting
Studying risankizumab in children with Crohn's disease
This study follows children with Crohn's disease who have already started taking risankizumab. It aims to see how well the treatment works in real-world use.
JerusalemAges 6–18 - NCT06512597Recruiting
Behavioral therapy for active Crohn's disease
This study tests whether a behavioral therapy program can help people with active Crohn's disease feel better when they start a new biologic medication. You'll get extra support to manage stress and symptoms while you and your doctor adjust your treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT06548542RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted therapy study for moderate to severe Crohn's disease
This study tests a new targeted therapy for adults with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who haven't responded well to other treatments. It aims to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT06637631RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an oral pill for moderate to severe Crohn's disease
This study tests an experimental oral pill (SAR441566) for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. It aims to see if the drug can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms, especially for those who have not had success with other treatments.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06647615Recruiting
Virtual reality for stomach pain in Crohn's disease
This study tests if using a virtual reality (VR) program can help reduce stomach pain in people with Crohn's disease that is not currently active. You will try the VR experience and report how your pain changes.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT06233461RecruitingPhase 2
A study of TAK-279 for Crohn's disease
This study tests an oral medication called TAK-279 to see if it can safely reduce inflammation in the bowel for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who haven't had success with other treatments.
Murrieta, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06719778Recruiting
Diet and lifestyle changes for Crohn's disease
This study tests whether changing your diet and lifestyle can help repair the lining of your gut if you have Crohn's disease. It focuses on people whose Crohn's causes food-related symptoms or IBS-like symptoms, and involves a special scope procedure to check for food-triggered gut barrier damage.
Bamberg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06800326Recruiting
Comparing MRI and ultrasound for Crohn's treatment response
This trial compares two types of scans—MRI and ultrasound—to see how well they detect changes in Crohn's disease after treatment. If you've had one of these scans already and need another to check your response to therapy, you may be able to join.

Testing a gentler approach to diagnose Crohn's disease
This trial tests a new, gentler way to diagnose Crohn's disease. If you have symptoms like long-lasting diarrhea or belly pain, this study may help find out if you have Crohn's without invasive procedures.
EsbjergAges 18–40 - NCT06912815Recruiting
Ustekinumab and nutrition before Crohn's surgery

- How do I know if I qualify for a crohn’s disease 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 crohn’s disease 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.
