Recruiting studies
- NCT06335160Recruiting

Wilmington, North CarolinaAges Any age - 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 - NCT07636304Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Brain stimulation for inflammatory bowel disease remission
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+ - NCT07341282RecruitingPhase 2
Vancomycin for ulcerative colitis with liver condition
This trial tests whether the antibiotic vancomycin can help treat active ulcerative colitis in people who also have primary sclerosing cholangitis (a liver condition). Vancomycin may reduce inflammation in the gut by changing the bacteria in your intestines.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07158242RecruitingPhase 3

Study of new drugs for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease
This trial is testing multiple new drugs for people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who have not had success with at least one standard treatment. The goal is to find a better option that can help control symptoms and inflammation.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07814456RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant for ulcerative colitis comparing donor types
This trial tests fecal microbiota transplantation (a procedure that puts healthy donor bacteria into your gut) for left-sided ulcerative colitis. It compares results using donors from two different backgrounds to see if one works better.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–60 - NCT07427017RecruitingPhase 2
Selenium for Ulcerative Colitis Patients on Biologics
This trial tests whether taking selenium supplements can help people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that is being treated with advanced therapies (biologics). The goal is to see if selenium can improve symptoms and reduce inflammation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT04401605Recruiting
Fermented foods diet for ulcerative colitis symptoms
This study tests whether adding fermented foods to your diet can improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It also looks at people with intestinal inflammation markers to see if diet changes may help them feel better.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06651281RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety and effectiveness of tulisokibart for Crohn's or colitis
This study gives tulisokibart to people who already took part in an earlier trial for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis and are still benefiting from it. The goal is to see how safe and effective the medicine is over a longer period.
Bristol, ConnecticutAges Any age - NCT07721441Enrolling by invitation
Predicting Gut Healing in Ulcerative Colitis with a Stool Test
This study looks at whether a simple stool test can tell if treatment is healing the gut lining in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who are starting their first biologic medicine. If it works, this test might help doctors adjust treatment earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06405087RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term study of vedolizumab for children with IBD
This study is for children and teenagers with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who have already completed a previous vedolizumab study and are doing well. It will look at the long-term safety and effectiveness of continuing vedolizumab treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–17 - NCT05442567RecruitingPhase 3
Vedolizumab study for kids with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ulcerative colitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 280 recruiting ulcerative colitis 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 ulcerative colitis 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 ulcerative colitis 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.
