Recruiting studies
- NCT05579392Recruiting
Bright light therapy for gut inflammation in Crohn’s or colitis
This trial studies whether daily bright light can improve gut barrier “leakiness” and reduce inflammation in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. It compares bright light versus dim light in a crossover design, meaning you may receive both.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05615779Recruiting
Personalized fiber (B-fructan) diet for inflammatory bowel disease
This trial tests whether a tailored diet high in B-fructans can improve inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or IBD-unclassified) in people in mild-to-moderate remission. It may help your gut and reduce bowel inflammation, and it involves colonoscopy and sample collection.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 6–39 - NCT05653011Recruiting
Study outcomes in people with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at what factors help predict how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may progress over time. You may be able to join if you are an adult with IBD and fit one of the study groups based on whether you have used TNF-blocking medicines before.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT05704413Recruiting
Biobank study using gut tissue in bowel disease
This study collects and stores digestive (bowel) tissue to better understand how gut bacteria may affect diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers find future ways to improve care for people with these conditions.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05722236Recruiting
Peer support program to help people manage stress from IBD
This trial tests a “peer-to-peer” support program to help adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage psychological distress (stress and emotional strain). It may help you cope better during major life or treatment changes related to IBD.
Halifax, N.S.Ages 18–99 - NCT05733702Recruiting
Study of Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis treatment changes
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis when their treatment is changed. It collects health information and samples to better understand how treatment changes affect people over time.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05733845Recruiting
Study of why some bowel inflammation treatments don’t work
This study looks at blood and/or tissue “molecular” (cell-level) reasons why treatments don’t fully work in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. If you are starting a biologic or small-molecule medicine and still have moderate to severe symptoms, you may be able to contribute to research that helps improve future care.
Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, CHRU de NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05835973Recruiting
Study of sleep changes in people with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how sleep patterns change in adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are currently in remission. It may help researchers understand sleep issues in IBD and identify ways to improve care during symptom-free periods.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT05986136RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dapagliflozin for mild to moderate ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether dapagliflozin (a medicine often used for diabetes) can help calm inflammation in people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. It's a new way of treating UC by working with the body's natural cleanup process.
Al MansurahAges 1.5 years–60 years - NCT06001450Recruiting
Plastics and toxins in pregnant women and families
This study looks at how plastics and toxins in the environment might affect inflammation in the gut, especially in pregnant women with Crohn's disease and their families. It will help doctors understand if these chemicals play a role in bowel inflammation during pregnancy.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06042387Recruiting
Genome study across diverse populations with IBD
This study looks at the genes of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and healthy volunteers to understand why IBD affects different populations. You may join if you have Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or undetermined IBD, or if you are a healthy person without any IBD history.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06059989RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new form of infliximab for Crohn's disease
This trial is testing a new way to give infliximab, a treatment for moderate to severe Crohn's disease, as a shot under the skin. It's for people who haven't gotten better with other treatments or need strong medication right away.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–80 - NCT06065228Recruiting
Tracking treatment progress in children with IBD
This study looks at a new way to measure how well treatment is working in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It uses a special eye test called pupillometry, which is painless and non-invasive, to see if it can help doctors adjust treatment earlier.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6–21 - NCT06113913RecruitingPhase 4
Switching from IV to under-the-skin infliximab after dose increase
This study tests if switching from a high-dose infliximab IV infusion to a daily or weekly injection under the skin works just as well. It is for people with inflammatory bowel disease who are already stable on IV infliximab.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06124833Recruiting
Gut and mouth microbiome study for Korean IBD patients and their family
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut and mouth to understand more about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It compares patients with their close family members who do not have IBD to see what might be different.
SeoulAges 13–85 - NCT06146816Recruiting
Infrared light therapy for Crohn's disease
This trial tests a new infrared light treatment to see if it can reduce inflammation and symptoms in people with Crohn's disease. It's for those who have active disease despite current treatments or who are not on therapy.
Tel AvivAges 18–80 - NCT06256393Recruiting
Studying inflammatory bowel disease in Nantes
This study collects information and samples from people with active inflammatory bowel disease who need surgery or an endoscopy. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06274554RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Antifungal Therapy for Crohn's Disease
This study tests whether adding an antifungal drug (fluconazole) to standard Crohn's disease treatment helps improve symptoms. It's for people with mild to moderate Crohn's who have not used antifungal medications recently.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06300541Recruiting
Sarcopenia in inflammatory bowel disease flare-ups
This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with inflammatory bowel disease during a flare-up, and what impact it has. By participating, you may help doctors better understand and treat muscle weakness in IBD.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06309017Recruiting
Nutrition before bowel surgery for IBD patients
This trial tests whether a special nutrition drink taken before surgery can help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) recover better after bowel surgery. It is for adults with IBD who are already scheduled for surgery at NYU Langone Health.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06315179Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for inflammatory bowel diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 266 recruiting inflammatory bowel diseases 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 inflammatory bowel diseases 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 inflammatory bowel diseases 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.
