NCT05849012 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to learn about a low sulfur diet in patients with Crohn's disease. Study participants will be randomized to receive a low sulfur diet or usual diet for 8 weeks. Participants will work with study nutritionists and receive dietary educational materials. Participants will attend 2 in-person visits as well as 6 phone visits during the study. In addition, subjects will undergo testing, including a test to measure rectal sensation, a test to look for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and a test to measure leaky gut.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05849012
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05849012 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Crohn's Disease in Remission appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Low Sulfur Diet is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05849012 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
