Study of new colostomy bags with improved filter
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of colostomy bag that has a special filter system to reduce problems like ballooning, odor, and leakage. If you use a flat, closed bag and have at least one filter-related issue a week, this study might help find a better option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the skin around and away from the stoma to understand its natural characteristics. You may help if you have a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy and have healthy skin around your stoma.
This study tests a new device called TIES® that is implanted under the skin to help people with a permanent ileostomy or colostomy. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well during stoma revision surgery.
This trial tests a new prototype ostomy bag designed to reduce leakage. You may be able to join if you have had an ileostomy for at least a month, manage your own bag, and have had leakage under the baseplate at least 3 times in the last 2 weeks.
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This trial tests a new device called Stomasense that aims to detect and manage leaks from an ileostomy pouch earlier. It's for people who have had their ileostomy for at least 18 months and experience frequent leaks (more than once a week).
This study looks at how plant chemicals (called polyphenols) are absorbed in people with an ileostomy. It aims to understand digestion and could help guide future nutrition advice for ileostomy patients.
