Liquid nutrition therapy for inducing remission in pediatric ulcerative colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving special liquid nutrition (exclusive enteral nutrition, or EEN) along with standard care can help children and teenagers with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis reach remission. It may be an option for those who haven't yet tried stronger medications.

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.
This trial studies whether transferring healthy stool bacteria into the gut (fecal microbiota transplantation, or FMT) can improve symptoms in children with ulcerative colitis. It may help by changing gut bacteria, especially for children who are newly diagnosed or who didn’t respond to standard treatments.
