Studying the immune system in Crohn's and colitis
This study collects blood and tissue samples to better understand how the immune system behaves in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It aims to advance research rather than test a specific new treatment, and it also enrolls healthy volunteers for comparison.

Testing duvakitug for long-term ulcerative colitis control
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug called duvakitug in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. It is for those who have already responded well to treatment in a previous study and need ongoing care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 16–80 - NCT07697456RecruitingPhase 2
Study of advanced therapies for Crohn's or ulcerative colitis
This study tests advanced treatments for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who haven't responded to at least one previous therapy. It aims to find better options for managing these conditions.

Risankizumab for young people with ulcerative colitis
This study tests risankizumab (a medication that targets inflammation) in young people with ulcerative colitis who haven't improved enough on other treatments. It aims to see if risankizumab can help control symptoms and reduce bowel inflammation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–17 - NCT06910579RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Oxygen gel for mouth sores
This study tests a special oxygen gel to treat canker sores (small, painful mouth ulcers). If you have a single small sore and are generally healthy, this trial might help it heal faster.
Al Sherouk City, Cairo GovernorateAges Any age - NCT03804931RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Stool transplant for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether transplanting stool bacteria into the colon (fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve ulcerative colitis symptoms in people with active, moderate to severe disease. If you qualify, the study team will also check that it’s safe for you and that you can safely undergo a scope exam.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05228340Recruiting
Treating toe ulcers by releasing tight tendons to prevent recurrence
This study looks at whether a minor procedure on a toe (called a flexor tenotomy) can reduce the chance that diabetic toe ulcers come back. It is for adults with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet and have had toe ulcers before.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT02421705Recruiting
Brain-gut sensitivity study in IBS and inflammatory bowel disease
This study checks how sensitive your gut is to normal stimuli in people with IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and in healthy volunteers. Results may help researchers understand why some people feel more abdominal discomfort and how that connects to inflammatory bowel conditions.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–65 - NCT05713149Recruiting
Treating pressure sores with surgery and anti-bacterial medicines
This study looks at whether combining a surgical skin flap with anti-bacterial treatment can improve pressure sores that are complicated by bone infection (osteomyelitis). It targets adults who have nerve/movement problems that put them at high risk for these sores.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Castro Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04721873RecruitingPhase 2
Weight-loss medicine for people with ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a weight-loss medication, along with usual ulcerative colitis care, can help people who have both ulcerative colitis and obesity. It focuses on people with active symptoms or who need ongoing steroid medicine, and it also checks safety with heart, blood, infection, and mental-health screenings.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT04183608RecruitingPhase 4
Telemonitoring and education to guide treatment for ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether “treat-to-target” care—guided by regular symptom checks, telemonitoring, and patient education—works better than standard follow-up when starting adalimumab for ulcerative colitis. It aims to help control inflammation more effectively and reduce flare-ups.
Cholet, Maine Et LoireAges 18–75 - NCT06236750Recruiting
Testing a human tissue wound covering for hard-to-heal ulcers
This study is testing a special wound covering made from donated human tissue (amnion/chorion membrane) to see if it helps heal stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The covering is placed on the wound to help it heal.
Kobe, HyōgoAges Any age - NCT06084624RecruitingPhase 2
Mouth ulcer treatment with rebamipide vs. steroid cream
This study compares two mouth ulcer treatments: a newer medication called rebamipide and a standard steroid cream. It aims to see which one heals mouth ulcers faster and better.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT04999228RecruitingPhase 4
Top-down versus step-up treatment for pediatric ulcerative colitis
This trial compares two treatment approaches for children newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis: starting with stronger medicines right away versus beginning simpler and stepping up if needed. It may help your child learn which strategy controls symptoms better with fewer flare-ups.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 6–18 - NCT05608317Recruiting
Track healing of draining leg ulcers with a foam dressing
This study follows how a non-bordered foam dressing helps chronic leg ulcers that leak fluid (exuding). It mainly aims to see how the wound changes over time, and whether the dressing is comfortable and effective along with standard care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05132179Recruiting
Testing two antiseptic creams for diabetic foot ulcers
This study compares two topical (applied on the skin) antimicrobial agents—Dakin’s and Prontosan—to help heal diabetic foot ulcers. You may be eligible if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that has been present for at least 3 weeks and is large enough.
Uddevalla, TrollhattanAges 18–100 - NCT05786404RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant study for people with active ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether transplanting stool bacteria (called fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve symptoms in people with active ulcerative colitis. You may be able to help test a new approach for restoring gut bacteria, while receiving standard ulcerative colitis care from your doctor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06421818RecruitingPhase 2
Baitouweng Decoction for ulcerative colitis with damp-heat
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal formula called Baitouweng Decoction for people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis who also have a specific pattern of symptoms called 'damp-heat' in the large intestine. It aims to see if the medicine can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT07814456RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant for ulcerative colitis comparing donor types

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.
