Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05535361Recruiting
Testing a bowel device for short bowel syndrome patients
This trial studies whether the Eclipse XL1 system is safe and may help people with short bowel syndrome, in both children and adults. It will check how well the approach works and watch for side effects over the study period.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 3 months–65 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+ - NCT03530852Recruiting
RELIZORB test for children needing tube feeding and IV nutrition
This study tests whether RELIZORB helps children with short bowel syndrome (SBS), who rely on IV nutrition (and also tube feeding), absorb fats better. It is an open-label study over 90 days, meaning everyone gets the study treatment and outcomes are compared over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 2–18 - NCT05635747Enrolling by invitation
90-day follow-up study for children using RELiZORB
This study follows children who are already taking RELiZORB to see how it’s going over time and whether it remains safe and tolerable, with effects on nutrient absorption. It doesn’t change treatment—it mainly looks at outcomes during the next 90 days.

What taking part in a short bowel syndrome study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there short bowel syndrome clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting short bowel syndrome studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a short bowel syndrome study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a short bowel syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
