Study how gut bacteria may affect time to pregnancy
This study looks at whether differences in the gut (microbiome) are linked to how long it takes to get pregnant and pregnancy outcomes. It may help researchers understand who might benefit from future microbiome-focused approaches.
Stockholm, HuddingeAges 18–40 - NCT05405270Recruiting
Testing how well imiquimod works for abnormal cervix cell changes
This study looks for ways to predict who will respond to imiquimod cream for precancerous cervical cell changes (CIN2 or CIN3). Results may help doctors choose the best treatment approach and better plan follow-up.
BredaAges 18 years+ - NCT06279065Recruiting
Gut bacteria and giant cell arteritis study
This trial looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect giant cell arteritis, a condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels. It aims to help doctors better understand the disease.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07848594Recruiting
Temperature-regulating bed cover for sleep and health
This study tests whether a special temperature-regulating bed cover can improve sleep quality and reduce body inflammation, and how it affects gut health and your body's internal clock. You will use the bed cover and other devices at home, and provide blood and stool samples to see how your body responds.
Newton Center, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT07844616Recruiting
Eggs, gut health, and metabolism study
This study looks at how eating whole eggs versus egg whites affects your gut bacteria, metabolism, and immune system. It aims to understand how eggs may influence health markers in people of different weight ranges.
Storrs, ConnecticutAges 18–50 - NCT07761546Enrolling by invitation
Ai-test: microbiome nutrition for low testosterone
This study tests whether a special diet can improve symptoms of low testosterone in men. It is intended to help men with certain symptoms like a low sex drive or trouble having erections and whose blood tests show low to borderline testosterone levels.
AydinAges 30–65 - NCT07735182Recruiting
Gut bacteria and organ damage in sepsis
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and other signs in your body affect liver and kidney damage in people with sepsis. It also compares findings to healthy volunteers to see what is different.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07736547Enrolling by invitation
AI-guided supplement for weight loss
This study tests a nutritional supplement (guided by your gut bacteria) to help with weight loss, along with lifestyle advice. It might be a good fit if you are overweight but not diabetic and have not used weight-loss medications recently.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07730229Recruiting
Plant-based drink study for healthy adults
This trial looks at how plant-based drinks affect the bacteria in your gut. You would drink a plant-based beverage daily and provide stool samples to see how your gut microbiome changes.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18–65 - NCT04410003RecruitingPhase 1
Stool-sample capsules to study gut microbiome in unexplained atherosclerosis
This early-phase study tests whether taking stool-based capsules can change gut bacteria in people with severe atherosclerosis that can’t be explained by usual risk factors. Researchers also measure related metabolic (body chemistry) and microbiome (gut bacteria) changes to see how this approach might help.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07691736Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for microbiome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 346 recruiting microbiome 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 microbiome 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 microbiome 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.
