Study how gut bacteria change with juvenile arthritis treatments
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how the “gut microbiome” (the helpful bacteria in the intestines) changes in children with juvenile enthesitis-related arthritis. It may help doctors understand how different treatment approaches affect gut bacteria over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not used methotrexate or biologic (“biotherapy”) for at least 3 months
- You have not used steroids (cortisone) for more than 1 month

This study looks at your gut bacteria (from a stool sample) to see whether it can predict how well you will respond to biologic medicines for spondyloarthritis. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment for future patients.
This study compares the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your intestines) in adults with spondyloarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis versus healthy adults. It aims to better describe differences that may help explain these diseases.
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to see whether gut bacteria patterns can help identify certain inflammatory arthritis conditions in people who have Crohn’s disease or axial spondyloarthritis. It’s mainly about matching stool “biomarkers” to diagnoses, which may help doctors recognize these conditions more accurately in the future.
This trial tests whether a special diet can help children and teens with juvenile arthritis. If you join, you will follow the diet and provide stool samples so the researchers can see how it affects your gut and arthritis.
This study looks at whether changes in the gut bacteria (called microbiome dysbiosis) are linked to spondyloarthritis. It compares people with the condition to people without it who are already planning a digestive scope for another reason.
This study looks at children with arthritis to better understand their condition using clinical exams, lab tests, and ultrasounds. It may help doctors learn more about different types of juvenile arthritis.
