Recruiting studies
- NCT04706988Recruiting
Asthma study linking lung bacteria to asthma types
This study looks at the tiny germs in your airways (airway microbiota) to better understand different asthma “types” and what might drive symptoms. It may help researchers find more personalized approaches to asthma care by learning how lung bacteria relate to your asthma features.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT04700579Recruiting
Study lung changes before and after treatment for active TB
This study looks at changes in the lungs and immune system before TB treatment and again after treatment. By sampling lung fluid and comparing it over time, researchers hope to learn signatures that reflect how TB responds to care.
Cape Town, Western CapeAges 18–60 - NCT04418258Recruiting
Test a new scope suction catheter during endoscopy
This study tests a special aspiration (suction) catheter used during an upper GI endoscopy to see how well it works during routine care. It may help doctors improve how they clear fluid or residue during the procedure.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT04444362Enrolling by invitation
Probacine to protect organs after cardiovascular surgery
This study tests whether a medicine called Probacine can help protect your gut and organs after cardiovascular surgery. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part and follow the study plan to see if complications are reduced.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT04264975Recruiting
Using gut microbiome tests and stool transfer in immunotherapy cancer
This trial studies whether changes in gut bacteria can help predict how well immunotherapy works for solid cancers. It also tests whether stool (fecal microbiota) from certain immunotherapy-responding people can improve outcomes for others who are not responding well.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04373473RecruitingPhase 2
Oral stool treatment to prevent ulcerative colitis flare-ups
This study tests whether taking freeze-dried (lyophilized) donor stool material by mouth can help prevent ulcerative colitis from coming back or causing intestinal inflammation. Participants are in remission and stay on their usual treatment while receiving the study product.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04105270RecruitingPhase 2
Durvalumab plus chemo with RMT for lung cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a new treatment plan that combines RMT with durvalumab and chemotherapy in people with untreated advanced lung adenocarcinoma. It aims to improve outcomes by helping the immune system and fighting cancer cells together.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04046900RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal-style transplant of vaginal microbiome for recurring BV
This trial tests whether transplanting “good bacteria” into the vagina can treat recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). It may help restore a healthier vaginal bacterial balance and reduce BV episodes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT03841799Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria and immune changes in colon tissue
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
Lyon, LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT03819296RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant to treat cancer immunotherapy bowel side effects
This early-phase study tests whether changing your gut bacteria with a fecal transplant can improve diarrhea or colitis caused by cancer immunotherapy. It may help people whose symptoms have not fully settled with standard treatments like steroids and other immune-blocking medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03148743Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut graft-versus-host disease
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (FMT) can help treat gut graft-versus-host disease (gut GVHD), a condition where donated immune cells attack the intestines. If you have gut GVHD and meet age requirements, you may be eligible to receive this treatment in the trial.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 10–60 - NCT03223077Recruiting
Study of gut germs in new Campylobacter stomach illness
This trial studies how your gut germs (microbiome) and gut lining change during a new bout of Campylobacter infection. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and how the gut recovers.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT02653001Enrolling by invitation
Testing samples in healthy people near Norwich Research Park
This study collects bowel-related samples from healthy people to help researchers test a “colon model” in the lab. You may be eligible if you live or work close by and you don’t have ongoing stomach/bowel conditions or recent major changes.
Norwich, NorfolkAges 18 years+ - NCT02573753Recruiting
Study how sleep affects gut bacteria and health
This study looks at how different sleep patterns change the microorganisms in your gut (gut bacteria) and what that may mean for health. It’s mainly for people who can take part in other approved research studies at the same time.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02127398RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplants for hard-to-treat C. difficile infection
This Phase 2 study tests whether placing stool from a healthy donor into your gut can treat repeated, hard-to-control C. difficile colitis. It may help restore healthy gut bacteria and reduce future flare-ups.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for microbiota?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 376 recruiting microbiota 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 microbiota 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 microbiota 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.
