Further MT for AntIbiotic-Resistant Bacterial Colonization in Inpatients

Study on advanced treatment for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospital patients.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 2

This study looks at using Microbiome Therapies (MT) to help patients with Multidrug Resistant Organism (MDRO) colonization. MDROs are bacteria that antibiotics can't easily kill. MT might help reduce these bacteria in the gut, which could prevent serious infections. This is important because it might help doctors avoid using strong antibiotics that can harm your kidneys. This study will test how safe and effective MT is for hospital patients.

In this study, 40 adults will be randomly split into two groups. One group gets a placebo (a pill that does nothing) and the other gets the treatment. This study will help researchers learn if MT can reduce MDROs safely.

  • The study requires participants to stop taking antibiotics and probiotics before joining.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old and willing to swallow capsules.
  • The study might help reduce the need for strong antibiotics, which have serious side effects.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
