The purpose of a clinical trial is to determine the most effective and safest treatment for a disease. Clinical trial evaluation is a key step to translating research into new medicines that can provide better outcomes for patients. The performance of clinical trials is a vital component of U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s drug approval process, without which advances in therapeutics for patients would not be possible. Often the lengthiest aspect of the drug approval process is finding people to participate in trials. The Clinical Trial Finder is intended to help raise awareness and increase participation in clinical trials to facilitate research and accelerate the development of new drugs and treatments for patients.
Finding a Trial
To help you find clinical trials that may best suit your particular needs, please fill out the filter questions below. As a result of your search and after reviewing the details, if you are interested in learning more about a trial, identify the trial site nearest to your location and contact the site coordinator via email or phone. We also strongly recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider about the trials that may interest you and refer to our terms of service below.
The information returned from your search has been obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in Crohn's Disease
Intestinal stricture is a complication of Crohn's disease (CD), which is thought to be the result of chronic transmural inflammation combined with a dysregulated wound-healing process. While inflammatory strictures may respond to anti-inflammatory treatment, fibrotic strictures are usually anti-inflammation resistant, requiring further endoscopic balloon dilation or surgical intervention. Therefore, to determinate the inflammatory or fibrotic nature of intestinal stricture is a key step in the treatment of CD. 18F-FDG is a radiotracer reflecting the glucose metabolism of disease and is usually accumulated in inflammatory disease. 68Ga-FAPI...

ABI-M201 in Adult Subjects With Mildly-to-Moderately Active Ulcerative Colitis
Phase 1B randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-cohort clinical trial of ABI-M201 in adult subjects with mildly-to-moderately active Ulcerative Colitis(UC) and ongoing treatment with mesalamine.

A Clinical Trial of Antibody GSK1070806 in the Treatment of Patients With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease
This trial aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of humanised antibody GSK1070806 delivered via intravenous infusion in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. 30-36 patients will be enrolled into the trial, with two thirds of the patients receiving active drug and one third receiving placebo. After 30 patients have been recruited into the study the sample size will be reassessed and up to an additional 6 patients could be recruited (i.e. up to 36 patients).

A Comparative Study of MRI, US and CE for Assessing Treatment Response in Known Crohn's Disease
The aim of this study is to evaluate non-invasive imaging techniques for assessing treatment response in known Crohn's disease. 1. Comparing imaging modalities: The applicability of small bowel colon capsule endoscopy (SBCCE), magnetic resonance enterocolonography (MREC) and ultrasound (US) for diagnosing ulcer healing after medical treatment in patients with symptomatic Crohn's disease compared to ileocolonoscopy. 1. Sensitivity and specificity for ulcer healing 2. Changes in activity parameters for SBCCE, MREC and US before and after medical treatment. 3. Feasibility of...

Adherence of a 1.600 mg Single Tablet 5-ASA Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
Several oral mesalazine (5-ASA) formulations exist, but the regimes require several tablets per day. Such regimens are not ideal and can interfere with normal daily activities of patients. Non-adherence has been associated with an increase in the risk of relapse and worse disease course; leading to a decrease in quality of life, an increase in societal and personal costs, and worst case increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, a new formula for 5-ASA has been approved by the Danish Medicine Agency, with a single tablet regime per day. Primary purpose: • To investigate whether a simplified treatment regimen for 5- ASA (1600...

A Dietary Intervention Study on the Microbiome in Crohn's Disease Patients
This protocol is designed to compare the effectiveness of a dietary intervention for 7 days, given to patients with Crohn's disease (CD) in remission: a soy-based diet, which has been demonstrated to have numerous health benefits. The diet will be compared to participant 'baseline' (pre-diet) in terms of its ability to change the composition of gut bacteria and their production of butyrate, an important short chain fatty acid (SCFA) that limits bowel inflammation, a characteristic of this debilitating disease.

Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AMSC) for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by diffuse inflammation of the colonic mucosa. It affects the rectum and extends proximally along a variable length of the colon. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition with a relapsing remitting course. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of adult stem cells residing in many tissues, including bone marrow (BM), adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood. Recent experimental findings have shown the ability of MSCs to home to damaged tissues and to produce paracrine factors with anti-inflammatory properties, potentially resulting in reduction of inflammation and...

Adipose Tissue Injection in Perianal Fistulas in Crohn´s Disease
This randomized and placebo controlled study investigates the efficacy of injections with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue in CD patients with complex perianal fistulas refractory to standard surgical and/or medical treatment. 140 CD patients will be included and randomized to either treatment with freshly harvested autologous adipose tissue or placebo (saline). Primary outcome measures are clinical healing 6 months after treatment evaluated by clinical examination and pelvic MRI.

Advanced Non-Invasive Diagnostics in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Non-invasive endoscopic procedures (pillcam colon capsule endoscopy, PCCE) and non-ionizing radiological modalities (MR enterocolonography, MREC and ultrasound, US) - offer a sufficiently high diagnostic validity in patients with suspected CD compared to the traditional invasive approach using ileocolonoscopy with biopsies as first line diagnostic modality

Alanyl-glutamine for CDI
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the optimal dose and safety of oral alanyl-glutamine between 4, 24, and 44 g doses administered for 10 days with standard therapy among first time incident cases of uncomplicated C. difficile infection (CDI) in hospitalized persons aged 65 or older. Our hypothesis is that alanyl-glutamine supplementation will decrease recurrence and mortality from CDI and these outcomes will be associated with improvement of inflammatory markers and restoration of intestinal microbiota function.
