Recruiting studies
- NCT06484660Recruiting
Less invasive surgery for complex anal fistula
This study tests a less invasive surgical method (a mucosal advancement flap) for treating complex anal fistulas. It aims to see if this approach works well for people who have a single fistula tunnel and haven't had this type of operation before.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT07399353Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for high anal fistula
This study compares two surgical techniques (fistula rerouting and LIFT) for treating a high perianal fistula, a tunnel that forms in the muscle around the anus. It aims to find which method works better for people with this condition.
Cairo, Al-Manial CairoAges 20–65 - NCT07477496Recruiting
Anal fistula surgery recovery study
This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT07519850Recruiting
How Perianal Disease Affects Sexual Health and Quality of Life
This study explores how chronic perianal conditions—like anal fistulas or pilonidal disease—affect patients' sexual function and relationships. Researchers will ask you to complete surveys about your symptoms and sexual health to better understand this impact and help future patients.
Thessaloniki, ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT07744672Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for high anal fistula
This trial compares two surgical techniques to treat a complex type of anal fistula (an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and skin). It aims to find which approach offers better healing and fewer risks.
CairoAges 16 years+ - NCT05039411RecruitingPhase 1
Cord stem cell treatment for Crohn’s perianal fistulas
This Phase 1 study tests whether donor umbilical cord stem cells are safe for treating fistulas (abnormal tunnels) near the anus in people with Crohn’s disease. It’s mainly looking at safety, and it may help some people’s symptoms if the approach is workable.
Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT02306382Recruiting
Study for diagnosing and treating perianal abscesses with surgery
This study focuses on people 18 and older who have a perianal abscess that needs surgical treatment. It aims to improve how these abscesses are diagnosed and managed, including care around surgery.
Umeå, County of Vasterbotten §Ages 18 years+ - NCT07113795Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Chinese medicine and stem cells for Crohn's fistula
This trial tests a new approach that combines traditional Chinese medicine with stem cells to treat complex anal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It may help people whose Crohn's is not very active and who have not had major fistula surgery before.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–60 - NCT06918808RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell therapy for Crohn's fistula healing
This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (called DB-3Q bmMSC-EVs) can help heal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It's for people who have already tried other treatments and still have actively draining fistulas.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT06051253RecruitingPhase 4
Personalized infliximab dosing for active Crohn's fistulas
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of infliximab (a biologic medicine given by IV) based on drug levels in your blood works better for treating draining fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It is for people who have not tried other biologics and whose fistulas have not healed with usual treatments.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06925594RecruitingPhase 3
Cell injection for Crohn's-related anal fistulas
This trial tests a new cell injection (TH-SC01) to treat anal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It aims to see if the injection can heal fistulas and lower infection risk.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT04010526RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for Crohn’s fistulas using your own fat cells
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a local injection of fat-derived cells (made from your own tissue) can improve difficult Crohn’s disease fistulas around the anus. It’s designed for people whose Crohn’s fistulas have not responded to usual treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perianal fistula?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting perianal fistula 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 perianal fistula 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 perianal fistula 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.
