Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05320796RecruitingPhase 4
Esomeprazole study after gastric bypass and pouch acid levels
This trial tests how well esomeprazole (a acid-reducing medicine) works after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and how it changes the acidity in the stomach pouch. It may help confirm the best way to control stomach acid after bypass surgery.
Schlieren, SchlierenAges 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 - 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+ - NCT05230173Recruiting
Treat to endoscopic remission in inflammatory bowel disease
This study tests whether switching to a different treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can achieve healing of the gut lining. It is for people whose symptoms are under control but who still have significant inflammation in their bowel.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 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+ - NCT04356755RecruitingPhase 2
Injections under the skin to heal scleroderma finger ulcers
This Phase 2 study tests whether injections under the skin can help heal painful, poor-circulation (ischemic) finger ulcers caused by scleroderma. It is for people whose ulcers have not improved with usual care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ulcer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 533 recruiting ulcer 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 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.
