PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT05308862Recruiting
Testing a program to prevent skin sores, weight loss, and falls
This study looks at whether joining a Swedish quality program for older adults can help prevent pressure ulcers, malnutrition, poor oral health, and falls. If you are in the municipal care system and registered in the Senior Alert quality registry, the study may be relevant for your care setting.
MalmöAges Any age - NCT05327790RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant to boost new biologic treatment for ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transfer (a stool-based therapy) can improve outcomes when added to starting a new biologic medicine for ulcerative colitis. It compares fecal transplant versus placebo (a sham treatment) to see if symptoms and inflammation improve faster or more strongly.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT05428345Recruiting
Shot of vedolizumab skin injection for active bowel inflammation
This study tests whether a weekly/regular skin injection version of vedolizumab can help adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease who did not fully respond to other treatments or TNF blockers. It may help by moving you from an intravenous (IV) infusion to a self/clinic injection option.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT05442567RecruitingPhase 3
Vedolizumab study for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s
This Phase 3 study tests whether vedolizumab can help children with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn’s disease (CD) who improved on earlier treatment. It focuses on kids who can stay off steroid medicines and follow study visits and safety rules.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 2 years+ - NCT05456412Recruiting
JAK medicine for active ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a JAK-inhibitor medicine can improve symptoms in people with active ulcerative colitis. If you’re currently flaring, it may help calm inflammation and reduce symptoms.
Leiden, South HollandAges 16–65 - NCT05456893Recruiting
Testing blood and stool markers in active ulcerative colitis treatments
This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
Nancy, LorraineAges 18 years+ - NCT05479617Recruiting
Predicting ulcerative colitis flare course using personal data
This study tries to better predict how an ulcerative colitis flare will progress by using a mix of your medical information. If you are eligible, your flare details may help researchers build tools that guide future care.
Hvidovre, DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05481619RecruitingPhase 4
Vedolizumab study for ulcerative colitis and gut changes
