Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05599347RecruitingPhase 2
Azithromycin before anti-TNF treatment for Crohn’s disease
This Phase 2 trial tests whether taking azithromycin (an antibiotic) before starting infliximab or adalimumab can reduce the chance your body rejects the anti‑TNF medicine. It may help some people get better and keep responding to treatment.
Haifa, Haifa DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT05509777RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab for children with active Crohn’s disease
This study tests mirikizumab to reduce inflammation and symptoms in children with Crohn’s disease that is currently active. It may help if your Crohn’s has not improved enough (or stopped working) with at least one other Crohn’s medicine.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–17 - NCT00692939RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell transplant for people with Crohn’s who need new options
This trial studies whether an “autologous” stem cell transplant (using your own cells) can improve Crohn’s disease that has not responded to standard treatments. It may help people who have ongoing, hard-to-control Crohn’s even after medicines and/or who have complications that make surgery risky.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 10–60 - NCT04806620Recruiting
Online app study for brain inflammation lifestyle data
This study uses a digital platform (app/website) to collect lifestyle and symptom information to better understand brain inflammation. You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT06553053Recruiting
Acupuncture to prevent Crohn's disease relapse
This trial tests if acupuncture can help people with Crohn's disease stay in remission longer and avoid flare-ups. If you are in remission but have had frequent relapses, this study may be for you.
ShanghaiAges 16–75 - NCT02421705Recruiting
Brain-gut sensitivity study in IBS and inflammatory bowel disease
This study checks how sensitive your gut is to normal stimuli in people with IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and in healthy volunteers. Results may help researchers understand why some people feel more abdominal discomfort and how that connects to inflammatory bowel conditions.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–65 - NCT07683325RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ontunisertib for fibrostenosing Crohn's disease
This trial tests an investigational drug called ontunisertib versus a placebo in people with Crohn's disease that has caused narrowing (strictures) in the small intestine. It aims to see if the drug can help without needing surgery or other procedures.
Bradenton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07556718RecruitingPhase 2
Amitriptyline for IBS-like Symptoms in Stable Crohn's Disease
This study tests whether a medication called amitriptyline can help reduce belly pain and bowel problems in people whose Crohn's disease is well-controlled. Amitriptyline is an older antidepressant that may help with pain and bowel symptoms even when inflammation is quiet.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT07522528Recruiting
Biologics and Nutrition Treatment for Active Crohn's in Young People
This study tests whether combining biologic medicines (TNF-alpha inhibitors like infliximab or adalimumab) with a special nutrition plan helps young people with active Crohn's disease feel better. The nutrition plan may include drinking special formula drinks instead of regular food (or alongside some regular food).
AberdeenAges 6–18 - NCT07246460Recruiting
Ultrasound and protein tests to see if guselkumab works for Crohn's
This study tests whether guselkumab (a targeted drug) can effectively treat Crohn's disease in the ileum (last part of the small intestine). You will have ultrasound scans and blood tests to measure your response, which may help find the right dose and monitor for bowel healing.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Up to 80 years - NCT06764615RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term study of TAK-279 for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
This study is for people who already completed 52 weeks of treatment with TAK-279 for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and saw improvement. It gives them the option to continue the medication long-term to see if the benefits last.
