Testing a new treatment for Staphylococcus Aureus decolonization
Official title: A Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled First-in-man Single-dose and Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of a Recombinant Chimeric Bacteriophage Endolysin HY-133 With an Extended Phase to Evaluate Effects of the Nasal Microbiome
Run by University Hospital Tuebingen · NCT06290557 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new nasal spray treatment to see if it can help healthy people get rid of Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria from their noses.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 18 and older who are nasal carriers of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) or significant underlying health conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a novel recombinant chimeric bacteriophage endolysin, HY-133, for decolonizing Staphylococcus Aureus in healthy subjects. Participants will receive either a single dose or multiple doses of the treatment, administered as a nasal spray, with a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to ensure unbiased results. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of HY-133 in reducing nasal colonization of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new method for effectively decolonizing Staphylococcus Aureus, potentially reducing infection rates.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using bacteriophage therapy have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
