ShanghaiAges 1 day–4 months - NCT07443280Recruiting
Gut health supplement study for dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a special blend of probiotics and prebiotics (called a synbiotic) can improve gut health and reduce harmful waste products in the blood for people on hemodialysis.
Taichung, Wuqi DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT06809660Recruiting
Gut bacteria and cancer risk from everyday chemicals
This study looks at how chemicals in the environment (called endocrine disruptors) might affect the natural bacteria in your gut and whether that could play a role in colorectal cancer. If you are having a colonoscopy (endoscopy), you may be able to participate.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT07592975Recruiting
Food with Fiber and B-Vitamins for Gut Health in Older Adults
This study tests whether adding special fibers (prebiotics) and B-vitamins to food can improve your gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support mental health. You'll eat fortified foods for several weeks while researchers track changes in your digestion and wellbeing.

Occupational health study for high-altitude workers
This study examines how working at high altitudes (where there is less oxygen in the air) affects employees at an astronomical observatory in Chile. Researchers want to understand health impacts and develop better support for people working in these extreme conditions.
San Pedro de Atacama, AntofagastaAges 20–50 - NCT07619560Recruiting
Probiotic Cocktail to Slow Early Parkinson's Disease
This study tests whether a special blend of probiotics (good bacteria), an amino acid called tryptophan, and branched-chain amino acids can help slow the progression of early-stage Parkinson's disease. The idea is that these supplements may work through your gut bacteria to help protect your brain.
TaipeiAges 30–85 - NCT05698862Recruiting
Study how gut bacteria affect brain and behavior

ReadingAges 18–50 - NCT03855657Recruiting
Biobank study of gut microbes, genes, and blood chemistry
This study collects samples to learn how gut microbes, genetics, and body chemistry may relate to Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Your information and samples may help researchers understand disease patterns, but it does not test a new drug.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gut microbiota?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 145 recruiting gut microbiota 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 gut microbiota 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 gut microbiota 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.
