Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 to 75 with ulcerative colitis in confirmed clinical and endoscopic histologic remission.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active disease, Crohn’s disease, other colitides, or recent antibiotic/probiotic use may not experience benefit and could be excluded or show limited response.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates the safety and potential benefits of ButyMixx in adults with ulcerative colitis who are in clinical remission. Participants will take two sachets daily for eight weeks and provide stool samples before and after treatment. Outcomes include symptom improvement, quality of life, intestinal inflammation, and changes in gut microbiota balance. The study also aims to monitor for any adverse effects in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ButyMixx could help maintain mucosal health and improve quality of life for people with ulcerative colitis in remission.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests potential gut microbiota–modulating strategies can aid UC, but this exact combination and remission-maintenance approach is relatively novel.
