Recruiting studies
- NCT06335160Recruiting

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 - NCT06805890Recruiting
Tissue repair study in IBD using organoid technology
This study collects tissue samples from people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis during routine colonoscopy or surgery to grow mini-organs (organoids) in the lab. The goal is to learn how the gut heals itself, which could lead to better treatments.

Probiotic Supplements for Ulcerative Colitis Remission
This trial tests whether taking sodium butyrate (a short-chain fatty acid) and a specific probiotic yeast called Kluyveromyces marxianus can help keep ulcerative colitis in remission and prevent flare-ups. You'd need to be in remission (symptom-free with no active inflammation) when you start.
PadovaAges 18–75 - NCT07158242RecruitingPhase 3

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) can affect brain function in people whose IBD is in remission. Researchers want to understand if this stimulation might help reduce inflammation or improve symptoms in the future.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06100289RecruitingPhase 3
Study of vedolizumab for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease
This trial tests vedolizumab, a biologic medicine that reduces inflammation, in children and teenagers who have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease and have not responded well to other treatments.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–17 - NCT03615690Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet test for ulcerative colitis
This study tests whether a “fasting-mimicking diet” can improve mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. You would follow the study diet plan and be monitored to see if symptoms and disease activity change.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06315179Recruiting
Spatial gene study for inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at tissue samples from people with suspected Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or indeterminate colitis. The goal is to understand these conditions better and may lead to improved treatments.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 6–21 - NCT07501078RecruitingPhase 2
Aquamin supplement for preventing pouch inflammation after J-pouch surgery
This study tests whether a natural supplement called Aquamin (a red algae-derived mineral source) can help prevent inflammation in people who have had surgery for ulcerative colitis and now have a J-pouch. It aims to see if this supplement reduces pouch inflammation and related symptoms.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06956703Recruiting
Nottingham IBD study testing new treatments
This study looks at people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis starting a new type of medication (anti-TNF, ustekinumab, upadacitinib, or vedolizumab), as well as people without IBD having a routine colonoscopy. It aims to collect information to better understand how these treatments work.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 16 years+ - 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+ - NCT06071312RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal transplant for C. diff and ulcerative colitis
This trial tests whether one or multiple fecal transplants from a healthy donor can help treat both a recurring C. diff infection and active ulcerative colitis. It aims to find the best schedule for the procedure.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT04806620Recruiting
Online app study for brain inflammation lifestyle data
This study uses a digital platform (app/website) to collect lifestyle and symptom information to better understand brain inflammation. You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT07670975Recruiting
Energy use in children with new IBD diagnosis
This study measures how many calories children with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) burn at rest. It helps doctors understand and manage their energy needs.
