Recruiting studies
- NCT06957236Enrolling by invitation
NICE Procedure for Benign Colon Disease
This trial tests a new minimally invasive surgery called the NICE procedure for treating benign left-sided colon diseases like diverticulitis or benign polyps. It aims to see if this approach leads to fewer infections and better recovery compared to standard surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06687382RecruitingPhase 2
MBK-01 for recurrent diverticulitis
This trial tests MBK-01, capsules made from healthy gut bacteria, to see if they can help people who keep getting diverticulitis. If you've had three or more bouts in the last three years, this study might offer a new treatment option.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–70 - NCT03994978Recruiting
Compare bowel function after sigmoid surgery vs watchful care
This study looks at whether having elective sigmoid colon surgery helps bowel function and quality of life compared with conservative (non-surgery) care in people with recurrent, uncomplicated diverticulitis. It may help clarify which approach leads to fewer ongoing bowel problems and better daily comfort.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07492134RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotics vs placebo for mild diverticulitis
This study tests whether antibiotics are necessary for mild diverticulitis or if a placebo works just as well. Participants are treated in the emergency department and followed using a smartphone app.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–90 - NCT05829343Recruiting
Robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for left-sided diverticulitis
This trial compares robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the bowel for left-sided diverticulitis. It may help show which approach is safer or leads to better recovery for people needing elective or delayed-urgency surgery.
Grosseto, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT05942833Recruiting
Quality of life study in left-sided diverticulitis
This study looks at how treatment affects quality of life in people with left-sided diverticulitis, including repeat episodes or complicated attacks. It may help doctors understand what improves day-to-day well-being and recovery for different diverticulitis situations.
Linz, AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06265649Recruiting
Managing diverticulitis without surgery: ward comparison
This trial compares non-operative management for acute left colonic diverticulitis (ALCD) in medical versus surgical wards, to see which setting leads to better outcomes. If you have diverticulitis diagnosed by CT scan and are being treated without immediate surgery, you may be eligible.
Trieste, TSAges 18 years+ - NCT06517264Enrolling by invitation
Treating mild diverticulitis without antibiotics as an outpatient
This trial tests if mild diverticulitis (a small infection in the colon) can be safely treated at home without antibiotics. If you have this condition and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to avoid a hospital stay.
MurciaAges 18–80 - NCT07744425Enrolling by invitation
Surgical imaging device study
This study tests a new camera that helps surgeons see tissues more clearly during surgery. It may help improve surgical precision and safety.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT03643718Recruiting
Emergency surgery and trauma patient registry online
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
PisaAges Any age - NCT04604730Recruiting
Testing a protective stoma after bowel reconnection for infection
This study looks at whether creating a temporary “protective stoma” (an opening that diverts stool) after reconnecting the bowel can reduce complications for people with severe abdominal infection from a perforated diverticulitis. It’s for adults who had surgery to reconnect their colon right away.
Beauvais, BeauvaisAges 18 years+ - NCT05393609Recruiting
Quality-of-life study during surgery for diverticular disease
This trial studies how people’s quality of life changes around diverticular disease surgery. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support patients before and after surgery.
Randers, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT06287671Recruiting
Colorectal Surgery Tissue Study for Better Understanding of Disease
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
HillerødAges 18 years+ - NCT06428370Recruiting
Surgery Study for Severe Diverticulitis
This study looks at different surgical methods for treating severe diverticulitis, which is an infection in the colon. It aims to find the best way to control damage and improve recovery for patients needing emergency surgery.
SantiagoAges 18 years+ - NCT07144683Recruiting
Colorectal surgery leak study
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT07506005Recruiting
Stapler placement study for colorectal surgery
This trial tests if the placement of the stapler spike during colorectal surgery affects bleeding where the bowel is joined. It may help guide safer stapling techniques.
LinzAges Any age - NCT07579312Recruiting
Blood Test for Diagnosing Belly Infections in Kids and Adults
This study tests whether a simple blood test measuring RNA levels can help doctors quickly identify intra-abdominal infections (infections inside the belly) in patients with abdominal pain. If successful, it could help doctors decide faster whether imaging or surgery is needed.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diverticulitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting diverticulitis 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 diverticulitis 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 diverticulitis 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.
