Gut microbes and blood signals in sepsis-related liver and kidney injury
This study tests whether gut microbes and blood markers differ in adults with sepsis who develop liver or kidney injury, compared with healthy volunteers.
-
Plant-based beverage effects on the gut microbiome in healthy adults
This study tests how drinking different plant-based beverages for two weeks affects the gut microbiome in healthy adults.
-
Inulin Prebiotic for Perimenopausal Women with Overweight or Obesity
This study tests whether 2 weeks of inulin can affect gut and vaginal microbes, heart health, and muscle health in perimenopausal women who are overweight or obese, using a crossover design.
-
Preoperative Fasting to Shape the Gut with Hip Replacement
This trial tests whether a 20-day preoperative fasting plan can lower inflammatory signals and broaden gut microbes in adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
-
A nutritional supplement to fill nutrient gaps and support gut health for people taking GLP-1 medications.
This study will test whether a daily nutritional supplement can reduce nutrient gaps and improve the gut microbiome in adults who are using GLP-1 receptor agonist medications.
-
Exploring sleep disorders in ulcerative colitis patients
This study looks at how sleep problems affect people with ulcerative colitis and what that means for their overall health and gut bacteria.
-
Examining the effects of a Mediterranean diet on Parkinson's Disease
This study is trying out a Mediterranean diet for people with Parkinson's Disease to see if it helps improve their symptoms and overall health compared to a regular diet.
-
Using fecal microbiota transplantation to reduce colorectal adenoma recurrence
This study tests if a treatment using healthy gut bacteria can help prevent the return of colorectal adenomas in patients who have had them removed.
-
Effects of coffee on gut microbiome and liver health in colorectal cancer patients
This study is testing whether drinking 6 grams of freeze-dried instant coffee daily can improve liver health and gut bacteria in people who have finished treatment for colorectal cancer.
-
Exploring exercise and molecular factors in cancer-related muscle loss
This study tests whether exercise can help people with non-small cell lung cancer who are losing muscle mass feel better and improve their quality of life.
-
Vaginal microbiome exposure for newborns delivered by C-section
This study is testing if exposing newborns delivered by C-section to their mother’s vaginal bacteria can improve their health and development over the first three years of life.
NIH-funded research (4)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Mapping and controlling interactions in the human gut microbiome
This project builds lab tools to map how gut bacteria interact with each other and with human cells, aiming to enable targeted changes that could help people with gut-related conditions.
-
HIV reservoirs in the gut and how they reactivate when treatment stops
This grant explores how HIV hides in the gut and why it can come back when ART is paused, with the goal of guiding better cure strategies.
-
Mapping interactions in the human gut microbiome
This study is all about figuring out how different bacteria in your gut work together and with your body, so we can find new ways to help improve gut health for everyone.
-
Understanding how genetic elements affect gut bacteria diversity
This study is looking at how certain genetic elements in bacteria help them adapt and survive in our gut, specifically focusing on a type of bacteria called Bacteroides, to better understand how these changes affect the balance and health of our gut microbiome.

Where are these trials running?
In 6 countries. The most sites are in United States (4 trials), China (3 trials), Canada (1 trial), Sweden (1 trial), Denmark (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 1/2: 2, Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
