Predicting vedolizumab success with ultrasound in early Crohn's
This study uses intestinal ultrasound to see if vedolizumab can heal the gut in people recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease. It aims to find early signs that the treatment is working.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07338565Recruiting
Magnesium study for gut conditions
This trial looks at magnesium levels in people with inflammatory bowel disease, an ileostomy, or bile acid diarrhea, compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how these conditions affect magnesium in the body.

How New Crohn's Treatments Affect Sleep Quality
This study looks at whether new biologic or targeted medications for Crohn's disease improve sleep quality. You would wear a watch while sleeping and answer questions about your sleep to help researchers understand if these advanced treatments help you sleep better.

Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 13 years+ - NCT06001450Recruiting
Plastics and toxins in pregnant women and families
This study looks at how plastics and toxins in the environment might affect inflammation in the gut, especially in pregnant women with Crohn's disease and their families. It will help doctors understand if these chemicals play a role in bowel inflammation during pregnancy.

Check-in app for people with newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease
This Phase 4 study tests whether using the myIBDcoach smartphone app helps people with Crohn’s disease manage their care. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed or having a flare and have not used biologic medicines before.
MaastrichtAges 18–70 - NCT07141238Recruiting
Microplastics in kids with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (called microplastics) are found in the guts of children with and without inflammatory bowel disease. By analyzing samples taken during a routine endoscopy, researchers hope to learn if these particles might play a role in the disease.
GdanskAges Up to 18 years - NCT06548399Recruiting
Bacteria study for IBD patients with ongoing abdominal pain
This study looks at bacteria in your gut that may produce chemicals linked to ongoing pain in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, even when the disease itself is not very active. Researchers want to understand why some people still have moderate to severe abdominal pain even after their inflammation has calmed down.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT06780683Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for crohn’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 334 recruiting crohn’s disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- 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.
