Recruiting studies
- NCT07422792Recruiting
Amino acids for gut failure patients on IV nutrition
This trial tests how well a special amino acid solution given through a vein helps people with chronic intestinal failure who rely on home IV nutrition. It aims to see if it can improve your body's ability to build and repair tissue.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06094504Enrolling by invitation
Light therapy for babies with intestinal failure
This study tests whether a special kind of lighting can help babies with intestinal failure. If your baby is born at or after 32 weeks and has or is expected to have intestinal failure, this study may be an option.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 1 year - NCT04629014Recruiting
Quality of life study for kids with intestinal failure
This study looks at how children with intestinal failure feel and function day to day, using questionnaires. It aims to better understand quality of life to improve care for families managing specialized nutrition needs.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 6 months–25 years - NCT05879835Recruiting
EDTA lock solution to prevent line blockages in children
This trial tests whether a solution called KiteLock (4% EDTA) put into a special feeding line can help prevent blockages in children who need long-term nutrition through the vein. It may reduce line occlusions (blockages) and the complications they can cause.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT05919680RecruitingPhase 2
NST-6179 for liver disease from intestinal failure in adults
This Phase 2 study tests NST-6179 in people who have intestinal failure–associated liver disease (IFALD). It aims to improve liver function and overall outcomes for people whose liver inflammation and lab tests have been abnormal for at least 6 months.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 16 years+ - NCT07742735RecruitingPhase 3
Study of apraglutide for short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure
This study tests a new medicine called apraglutide, given as a shot, to see if it can help adults with short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure reduce their need for intravenous nutrition (parenteral support). The study compares apraglutide to a placebo (a shot with no medicine) to check if it is safe and effective.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06910943RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Choline injection for adolescents and adults with intestinal failure on long-term parenteral support
This study tests whether a choline injection can help people with intestinal failure who need long-term intravenous nutrition (parenteral support). It may improve liver health and reduce complications from not getting enough choline through food.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12 years+ - NCT07714499Recruiting
Energy use in healthy people vs. those with intestinal failure
This study looks at how the body uses energy (calories) in people with intestinal failure compared to healthy controls. The results may help improve nutritional care.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT06525753Recruiting
Weaning from IV nutrition in children with intestinal failure
This study looks at children who have stopped needing IV nutrition (parenteral nutrition) for at least a year after having intestinal failure. It aims to understand their long-term health and growth.
Toronto, OntarioAges birth–18 years - NCT06904872RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a diarrhea drug for short bowel syndrome without a colon
This trial tests if crofelemer can reduce diarrhea and fluid loss in people with short bowel syndrome who have a stoma (no colon connection) and need intravenous nutrition or fluids. The goal is to see if it improves gut function and quality of life.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT07414576Recruiting
AI-driven nutrition platform for newborns in the NICU
This trial tests an AI tool to help manage total parenteral nutrition (IV feeding) for newborns in the neonatal ICU who need daily lab tests. It aims to make nutrition safer and more personalized.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Up to 6 months - NCT07202910Recruiting
Validating liver imaging in children
This study tests if non-invasive imaging (like ultrasound) can replace liver biopsies in children with liver disease. It may help avoid the need for a needle biopsy in the future.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges Up to 25 years - NCT07490054RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for chronic heart failure
This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help people with chronic heart failure feel better and improve their heart function.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06845865Recruiting
Gut barrier test in ICU patients with organ failure
This study looks at how the gut barrier works in people with severe infections that cause organ failure. It measures intestinal permeability using a simple test, to see if a 'leaky gut' contributes to how sick patients get.
VincennesAges 18 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intestinal failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting intestinal failure 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 intestinal failure 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 intestinal failure 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.
