Inflammatory Bowel Diseases clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 15 recruiting inflammatory bowel diseases studies with a site in California — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06560021Enrolling by invitation
Random biopsies in inflammatory bowel disease surveillance
This trial looks at whether taking random biopsies during a routine colonoscopy is helpful for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at risk for colon cancer. It aims to understand if random biopsies can detect early signs of cancer or pre-cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07368972RecruitingPhase 2
Study of DISC-0974-201 for IBD and Anemia
This trial tests a new medicine called DISC-0974-201 for people with inflammatory bowel disease and anemia. It aims to see if the drug can improve anemia symptoms and is for people with mild disease activity who have not responded well to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04844606RecruitingPhase 3
Mirikizumab for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s
This study checks whether continuing mirikizumab (a medicine that calms gut inflammation) helps children with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease after prior study treatment. It aims to see if staying on the medicine is beneficial and safe over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 2–19 - NCT05973500Recruiting
Mediterranean diet study for inflammatory bowel disease
This trial studies whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet can improve inflammatory bowel disease (including mild to moderate Crohn’s). It may help by testing changes in gut inflammation measured by your symptoms and stool tests.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06226883RecruitingPhase 2
Testing MORF-057 for moderate to severe Crohn's disease
This study tests an oral medicine called MORF-057 for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease. It aims to see if the drug can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms for those who haven't had success with other treatments.
Lancaster, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT00904878Recruiting
Study of pregnancy outcomes for people with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how pregnancy and newborn outcomes turn out for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are pregnant and taking immune-suppressing medicines or biologic therapies. It may help doctors better understand risks and care for mothers and babies in similar situations.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT02791854Enrolling by invitation
Improving Care for Adults With Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis
This trial looks at ways to improve care for adults living with inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. You may be invited if your clinic is part of an inflammatory bowel disease care network called IBD Qorus.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT06424769Enrolling by invitation
Managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease with Text Message Surveys
This study aims to improve care and reduce health gaps for people with inflammatory bowel disease using text-message surveys to track symptoms and guide better disease management.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 13 years+ - NCT07012395RecruitingPhase 2
Long-acting antibodies for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This study tests new long-acting antibodies, given alone or in combination, for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The goal is to see if these treatments can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Canoga Park, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03615690Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet test for ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a “fasting-mimicking diet” can improve mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. You would follow the study diet plan and be monitored to see if symptoms and disease activity change.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04401605Recruiting
Fermented foods diet for ulcerative colitis symptoms
This study tests whether adding fermented foods to your diet can improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It also looks at people with intestinal inflammation markers to see if diet changes may help them feel better.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05912387RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing statin treatment in primary sclerosing cholangitis
This early study looks at how a statin (cholesterol-lowering medicine) affects people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) by measuring changes using multiple types of health data. It may help researchers understand which people benefit and how PSC biology changes with treatment.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06571669Recruiting
Nerve stimulation device for ulcerative colitis
This trial tests a new medical device called BOOM-IBD2 that uses gentle nerve stimulation to treat ulcerative colitis. It's for people who have not had UC surgery and do not have certain infections or other implanted devices.
Folsom, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06215222Recruiting
Studying gut bacteria in IBS and digestive issues
This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.

What taking part in a inflammatory bowel diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there inflammatory bowel diseases clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 15 recruiting inflammatory bowel diseases studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a inflammatory bowel diseases study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a inflammatory bowel diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New inflammatory bowel diseases studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
