Early mobility program for critically ill children in the PICU
This trial tests whether a structured “early mobility” activity plan (“PICU Up!”) helps children who are on a breathing machine recover or feel better while in the pediatric ICU. It aims to see if starting safe movement earlier makes a difference for critically ill kids.
Madera, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05172089Recruiting
Treating recurring infection in diabetic foot ulcers
This trial studies an approach to treat bacteria living in a diabetic foot ulcer and help prevent the ulcer from coming back. You may be able to join if you have an open diabetic foot ulcer and good blood flow to the wound.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05186623Recruiting
Personalized prediction for ulcerative colitis treatment response
This study builds a prediction model to estimate how people with ulcerative colitis may respond to certain medicines. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment sooner.
SeoulAges 18–79 - NCT05198167Recruiting
HOFA versus hydrocolloid dressings to prevent bedsores
This trial compares two types of skin protection to prevent pressure sores (bedsores) in people who must lie face-down (prone) in the ICU. It may help by reducing new sores from constant pressure in common injury areas.
Majadahonda, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05217160RecruitingPhase 4
KeraStat gel with morphine for non-healing painful open wounds
This study tests whether KeraStat® gel that delivers morphine through the skin can reduce pain and help manage non-healing ulcers or open wounds. You may be eligible if your wound fits specific size and depth limits and you can track pain every day.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05294107Recruiting
Intestinal organoid study in digestive biopsies
This study collects small tissue samples (biopsies) during a routine endoscopy to create organoids—miniature versions of your intestine grown in a lab. The goal is to better understand digestive diseases and test potential treatments. You may be eligible if you're already scheduled for an endoscopy.
RennesAges 18–75 - NCT05313620RecruitingPhase 4
Tofacitinib effect on clotting tests in ulcerative colitis
This study looks at how tofacitinib (and related medicines) may affect clotting and blood-platelet function, and whether this could relate to blood clot risk. It includes detailed blood and stool/colonoscopy-related testing in adults with ulcerative colitis and in some people without it.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05319106Recruiting

Stent placement for thoracic aorta problems in urgent high-risk patients
This trial studies a new type of stent graft placed in the chest aorta (from the aortic arch into the descending part) to treat aneurysms or dissections in people who are too high-risk for open surgery. It may help by offering a faster, less invasive repair when waiting for a custom stent would be unsafe.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05513508Recruiting
Tested a protective breathing mask in COPD and respiratory failure

- How do I know if I qualify for a ulcer 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 ulcer 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.
