Gut microbes and autoinflammatory diseases: how they may be linked

Official title: Host-microbiota Interactions in Auto-inflammatory Diseases

Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT07718555 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether gut bacteria and their byproducts relate to digestive and inflammatory symptoms in people with autoinflammatory diseases.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients aged 12 years or older with a diagnosed autoinflammatory condition (e.g., FMF, CAPS, MKD, DADA2, HA20, JAAD, juvenile polyarthritis, or similar) seen for routine care.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose autoinflammatory condition is not related to gut microbiota or who do not provide stool samples may not directly benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects stool and blood/urine samples from patients with autoinflammatory diseases to explore gut microbiota and metabolites. Participants provide a stool sample with a questionnaire, plus urine and possibly blood samples collected during routine care. Samples are analyzed at the Microbiota, Intestine and Inflammation lab to examine microbial composition and metabolite pathways that may affect gut barrier and inflammation. The study relies on patients and clinicians during standard consultations, with sample shipment arranged by carrier and mail where needed. No experimental interventions are described beyond sample collection and analysis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could improve understanding of how gut microbes influence autoinflammatory symptoms and guide future therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have linked dysbiosis with autoinflammatory and inflammatory conditions, supporting the relevance of this microbiota-focused approach.
