Recruiting studies
- NCT06461559RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bowel training before ileostomy reversal
This study tests whether infusing liquid into the bowel through the stoma before surgery can help prepare the gut. It is for people with a loop ileostomy who are planning to have it reversed.

Virtual ileostomy vs. diverting ileostomy for rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares a virtual ileostomy (a system that monitors leaks without creating a temporary opening) to a traditional diverting ileostomy (a temporary bag) in people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if the virtual method is safer and avoids a second surgery.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT06650085Recruiting
Comparing temporary stoma types after rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares two types of temporary stomas (a bag on the belly to collect stool) after rectal cancer surgery. It aims to see which type—ileostomy (small intestine) or colostomy (large intestine)—works better for patients.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT05628701Recruiting
Testing two UC surgery reconstructions after colectomy
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
GothenburgAges 18–60 - NCT07772362Recruiting
Plant chemical study for people with an ileostomy
This study looks at how plant chemicals (called polyphenols) are absorbed in people with an ileostomy. It aims to understand digestion and could help guide future nutrition advice for ileostomy patients.
ColeraineAges 18–75 - 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.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07138326Recruiting
Medication absorption in people with an ostomy
This trial looks at how well your body absorbs certain medications if you have an ileostomy or colostomy. It aims to help doctors better understand dosing for people with ostomies.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06974500Recruiting
Bowel stimulation before ileostomy closure surgery
This study tests a stimulation program for the bowel loop before surgery to close an ileostomy. It may help your bowel get ready and improve recovery after the procedure.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06824623Recruiting
Preventing dehydration after ileostomy surgery
This trial tests a program to help patients with a new ileostomy avoid dehydration and hospital readmission by providing extra support and education.
Legnano, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT03720262RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Prevent hernia after reversing a temporary ileostomy
This trial studies ways to lower the chance of getting a hernia after your temporary ileostomy is reversed. It may help patients who are planning stoma reversal after rectal cancer surgery.
SödertäljeAges 18–90 - NCT06142084Recruiting
Digesting plant proteins: a study in people with ileostomy
This study looks at how well your body digests different plant-based proteins. You may help by providing samples through your ileostomy, so researchers can understand which proteins are easiest to absorb.
ÖrebroAges 18–75 - NCT05826743Recruiting
Check a new alternative to ileostomy after bowel surgery
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 19–80 - NCT04707443Recruiting
Feeding support for newborns with a small-bowel stoma
This trial looks at how to provide nutrition by mouth or through a feeding tube (enteral feeding) for babies who have a small-bowel stoma (an opening made for stool to leave the body). It may help babies grow and get adequate nutrition while they recover.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 6 months - NCT02669992Recruiting
Compare closure methods for a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer
This trial studies which technique works best to close a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery. It compares different closure methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT05853094Recruiting
Testing different ways to create a stoma after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07788079Recruiting
Ostomy care education using the teach-back method
This study tests if a special way of teaching ostomy care, called the teach-back method, helps people with an ostomy feel more confident and less anxious about managing it. Participants will learn how to care for their ostomy and answer questions about their self-care and feelings.
Istanbul, ÜsküdarAges 18–84 - NCT07719309Recruiting
Skin health study for people with a stoma
This study looks at the skin around and away from your stoma to understand what makes healthy skin. It may help improve future stoma care products.
BirminghamAges 18 years+ - NCT07616830Recruiting
Recovery Outcomes After Temporary Midline Stoma Surgery
This study tracks how well patients recover after temporary stoma surgery (a surgically created opening for waste drainage) placed through a midline incision. Researchers want to understand healing, complication rates, and quality of life to improve surgical outcomes.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06556940RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of LMN-401 in people with an ileostomy
This study looks at how your body absorbs the drug LMN-401 when you have an ileostomy. It's designed to understand the effect of your digestive system on the medicine.

Stoma education effects on new ostomy patients
This study tests whether extra education about stoma care helps people who have had colostomy or ileostomy surgery recover more smoothly and manage their ostomy with confidence.
Tunceli, City CenterAges 18–90 - NCT07424586RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Better recovery for older adults with ostomy surgery
This study tests a program to help adults aged 65 and older recover well after ostomy surgery (a surgery that creates an opening on the belly for waste to leave the body). It also involves their healthcare providers.

- How do I know if I qualify for a ileostomy 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 ileostomy 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.
