Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07431606RecruitingPhase 2
Duloxetine for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This study tests whether duloxetine, a medication used for pain and mood, can help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are also dealing with high stress, disability, or gut-related anxiety.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 24 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04243525Recruiting
Inflammatory bowel disease patient research registry
This study is a research registry that collects information from adults receiving care for inflammatory bowel disease at UPMC. It may help researchers better understand bowel disease and improve future treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 2–19 - NCT07198113Recruiting
Comparing newer treatments for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
This study is for children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, colitis, or indeterminate) whose previous anti-TNF medicine stopped working. It compares several newer treatments to see which works best.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 1–18 - NCT02636517Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Fecal microbiome transplant for repeat C. difficile infection
This Phase 1 study tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (a fecal microbiome transplant) can help children with repeated or moderate-to-severe C. difficile infection. It focuses on changing gut bacteria to reduce ongoing infection and symptoms.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 3–21 - 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.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 13 years+ - 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.

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 Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting inflammatory bowel diseases studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
