Recruiting studies
- NCT07125521Recruiting
Smartphone app study for GERD medication adherence
This study tests whether using a smartphone app called GERDCare helps people with GERD take their medications as prescribed. It may be a good fit if you have typical GERD symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and are comfortable using a smartphone app.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07115134Recruiting
New dressing for feeding tube after placement
This trial tests a new type of dressing (bandage) designed to keep a gastrostomy feeding tube secure after it is placed in the stomach. It may help reduce movement and improve healing for children who have just had this surgery.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 7–21 - NCT07082608Recruiting
Weight loss procedure plus lifestyle changes for sleep apnea
This study tests whether a stomach procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) plus lifestyle changes helps people with sleep apnea lose more weight and improve their breathing compared to lifestyle changes alone. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and have struggled to lose weight, this may be an option.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18 years+ - NCT07024199RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief for children with acute pancreatitis
This trial compares three common pain relievers (paracetamol, ibuprofen, and metamizole) to see which works best for children with acute pancreatitis. It aims to help your child feel better faster with fewer side effects.
WarsawAges 3–18 - NCT07019077Recruiting
Bleeding risk after stomach or colon procedures on blood thinners
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06870630Recruiting
Comparing two myotomy methods for type 2 achalasia
This trial tests two muscle-cutting procedures for people newly diagnosed with type 2 achalasia (a swallowing disorder). The goal is to see if a more complex myotomy works better than the standard one.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT06928350Recruiting
Normal esophagus readings in healthy Indian adults
This trial is studying normal acid and fluid movement in the esophagus of healthy people in India. It will help doctors better understand what is typical, which may improve care for people with acid reflux or other swallowing issues.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–50 - NCT06959368RecruitingPhase 4
New H. pylori treatment vs standard triple therapy
This trial compares a newer drug (vonoprazan) plus antibiotics to the standard triple therapy for eradicating H. pylori infection in the stomach. It may be a good option if you have stomach symptoms like indigestion, acid reflux, or a non-bleeding ulcer and have not been treated for H. pylori before.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT06953986Recruiting
Comparing three medicines for severe acid reflux healing
This trial tests vonaprazan (two doses) against esomeprazole to see which better heals moderate-to-severe reflux esophagitis (a damaged esophagus from acid reflux) in 8 weeks. You may qualify if you have had heartburn or regurgitation for at least a month and your doctor found grade B, C, or D damage on an endoscopy.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT06955520Recruiting
Comparing two heartburn drugs after POEM surgery
This study compares two medications—vonoprazan and esomeprazole—to see which one heals acid reflux-related damage in the esophagus better after POEM surgery for achalasia. If you have had POEM and now have heartburn and moderate to severe esophagitis, this trial may help find the best treatment for you.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT06958159Recruiting
Comparing treatments for short Crohn's strictures
This trial tests a new approach that combines two procedures (stricturotomy and balloon dilation) against stricturotomy alone to treat short narrowed areas (strictures) caused by Crohn's disease. The goal is to see which method works better for keeping the bowel open longer.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–65 - NCT06938295Recruiting
Comparing two types of ultrasound for inflammatory bowel disease
This study tests if a standard ultrasound is as good as a high-end one at seeing inflammation in the gut. It could help people with IBD avoid more invasive procedures.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT06835374Recruiting
Comparing esophagitis in people with and without motility issues
This study looks at patients who have a swallowing disorder called achalasia and also show signs of acid reflux damage (esophagitis). It compares these patients to those without motility problems to better understand the link.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT05547919Recruiting
PSMA scan study for newly diagnosed gut cancer
This study looks at a specific body scan target (PSMA) in newly diagnosed gut cancers to better understand the tumor and guide future care. You may be asked to provide tumor tissue and get a PSMA PET/CT scan, and the results could help identify who may benefit from PSMA-based treatments.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06066372Recruiting
Using computer models to reduce need for scans for bile duct stones
This trial tests if a computer model can accurately predict when someone has a stone in the bile duct, so fewer people need invasive scans like endoscopic ultrasound or MRCP. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures in patients with a medium chance of having a bile duct stone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT03325855Recruiting
Fecal transplant registry for patients and donors
This study is a national “registry” that collects information from people who get fecal microbiota transplant (a stool-based treatment) and from people who donate stool. It helps researchers understand who receives these treatments and how they do over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastroenterology?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 40 recruiting gastroenterology 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 gastroenterology 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 gastroenterology 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.
